lother as possible.
The state seems to be unable to
agree with Granite on the l60-acre site
to be donated to the reformatory, and
the people Of that town have spent s.
much money coming to Guthrie to get
the matter arranged that the are
doubtless regretting that the legisla
ture ever proposed to locate the insti
tuition there. What the trouble is, no
one seems to know definitely, except
that each site offered is found faulty
by the state officers who have the Sc
Election in hand, There is some sag
gestion that Granite real estate specu-
lators could remove the delay.
Governor Haskell is said to have
denied this recently, and to have said
that all who wished to submit plans
could do so, as the asylum board
would be glad to look them over. The
statement comes from Vinita that W.
o. Fleming of Governor Haskell5s Of
fee has recently obtained long time
options on nearly 1900 acres of land
near the proposed site at Vinita, some
of the options running for ten years.
This is taken to mean that the asy-
lum will not be built now, and this
Governor Haskell recently gave cred
ence by an editorial in the New State
Tribrre The governor takes the posi-
tion that 100 acres (the size OF the
site as required in the creating act)
is too small, and says that the options
were taken on the additional land so
that it could be purchased should the
next legislature thing fit.
Governor Haskell's position merely
approves the report of Robert Dunlop
and c. L. Long. members of the board
for the care Of the state insane, who
recently made trip of inspection to
the Illinois hospital for the insane at
Kankakee, and that of Indiana at Lo-
/ gansport. From their inspections of
these insane asylums, the acreage of
the grounds and the cost of the build
ings, Mr. Dunlop and Mr.. Long reach
ed the conclusion that both the 100
acre site and the 100000 appropria-
ton were inadequate for an asylum at
vinita, and recommended as follows:
In conclusion your board recon-
mends that owing to the inadequacy
of the appropriation for the erection
of a hospital for the insane at Vinita,
that the project be abandoned until
such time as the state legislature can
increase the amount to at least $780,
600 for the erection of a modern in
lstitution."

COMMISSION FINES
TELEPHONE COMPANY

Guthrie. okla, Sept 4. - Through
their order No. 2s5 the corporation
commission ordered and adiudged that
a fine Of one hundred dollars and
costs be assessed against the Pioneer
Telephone company for the violation
OF tAeir order No. l0l which prohibits
the raising OF telephone rates without
first having obtained an order from
the corporation commission authoriz-
ing such rates. The order comprises
nine typewriter sheets and is entire
ly too long to be printed in full. The
telephone company admits Of having
raised the rates at Oklahoma City
but denies that it violated the order
on the grounds that the ordinance
granted by the city provided that
when the number Of telephones in the
city reached five thousand that the
rates should be raised. The complaint
ant denies that there were five thou
sand telephones in use in Oklahoma
City except that the telephones used
in the different rooms of the hotels
be counted and alleged that this was
not 4 telephone in the meaning of
the ordinance on which rates could be
based.
