PROMINENT RAILROAD MAN
AND PROMOTER IN TOWN

Dorset Carter president of the Ok
lahoma Central railroad, arrived in
Vinita today in his private car, over
the Frisco. Mr. Carter is here con
fering with Charles b. Rogers, federal
master, concering the affairs of his
railroad, which is in the hands of a
receiver
Dorset Carter is one of the charact-
eristic figures OF the southwest, and a
living example of what pluck and per
severance will do-having promoted
and built a railroad one hundred and
fifty miles long, without capital save
as secured as a loan upon his road as
fast as built He was hard hit by the
financial furry in Wall street in
March, 1908, and his road forced into
receivership.
Mr.. Rogers is hearing and classify
ing the claims against the roads,
which will amount to about 100000.

Squirrels Eat Limburser Cheese.

The wisest pair of squirrels known
in Connecticut are two reds on the
farm of John Oelschlegel, near Win
sted. Recently he found and confis
Gated their hoard of chestnuts in a hoL
low tree close by his bedroom win,
dow, and while sleeping by the open
window he was struck with a green
chestnut burr on his bald head.
Looking up into the tree he saw the
two red squirrels gnawing chestnuts
out of burrs. The hunting season not
being open, he didn't dare shoot them,
and after he had taken out all the
prickly burr out of his scalp he went
to sleep again.
Next Oelschlegel was awakened by
a suffocating odor and saw the two red
squirrels eating limburger cheese on
the same limb. Particles of the linn

TREMENDOUS POWER OF WATER.
Resists All Strength Of Man and
Could Lift Mountains.

When a man goes in swimming a
the seashOre and slaps the water
forcibly with his hand, or takes q
back dive from a pier and land:
squarely on his back, he realizes thai
the unstable liquid offers not a little
resistance. Yet it would surprise al
most anybody to see what water will
do under certain conditions.
A stream from a firemans hose will
knock a man down. The jet from a
nozzle used in placer mining in the
west eats away a large piece Of land
liz day, toys with great powders as
II they were pebbles, and would shoot
man over the country as though he
we're a projectile from a cannon.
There is a story Of an eastern black
smith who went west and made bet
that he could knock a hole through
the jet OF one of these nozzles with a
sledge hammer. He lifted his arms,
swung the sledge. and came down on
the ten-inch stream with a force that
would have dented an anvil. But the
Jet, never penetrated, whisked the
massive hammer out of the black
smiths hands and tossed It several
hundred feet away into the debris OF
gold-bearing gravel beneath a crum-
bling cliff After this the blacksmith
left out iron when he spoke of hard
substances.
There is also a power plant near
Durango, Col, where a United States
cavalryman one day thought he had
an easy job in cutting two-inch
stream with his sword. He made a
valiant attack. The result was that
his sword was shivered in two and his
wrist broken.

OF course some people will not be-
neve such stories without having seen
the thing, and one may think it a
proof OF the scientific imagination to
say that an inch-thick sheet of water,
provided it had sufficient velocity,
would ward off bombshells as well as
-teel plate.
Nevertheless, many persons, while
travelling, have seen a brakeman put

remove doubts of the magic power

The defense finally called Gov. Pat

of having hunted up Col. Cooper on
the morning of the killing, and of
finding him in the writing room Of
the Maxwell hotel writing a letter to
Carmack. The colonel was very angry
and declared Carmack had no right
to use his name The governor said
he advised Cooper not to send the
note, as it might provoke a personal
encounter The note was turned over
to Attorney Bradford, who
promised to settle the difficulty. Robin

The prices received have not been
high. but there was compensation to
the seller in three cases because he

the making of homes, giving him an

necessary to call a special meeting last
evening to clear up the neglected rou-

ostensibly to order the repaving and re-
surfacins Of Main street, which has
been defeated whenever it came up be-
fore. This time the property owners
were almost all for it. and only one pro-
test was received.
That was from Joseph Baumgarten
who represented 1888 feet. There are
5.2l4 feet in the extension, and $3.50
feet We're necessary TO defeat the work
so II IS practically unanimous The
board OF works was directed to adver-
tise for tenders.

the articles shipped in and out of salt

Topography of Country.
Joseph A. West, formerly chief en-
gtneer of the Utah Pacific railroad, and
Fred Z. Timer. q civil engineer EN-
ployed in the construction of the Salt
Lake Route, explained the topography
of the country and the surveys through
the Meadow Valley wash country. Mr..
Timer was a member of the joint sur
veying party, composed of employees of
both the oregon Short Line and the
Salt Lake Route. The purpose of the
survey was to map out two routes, one
for each company, through the contest
ed territory. The survey through this
country, he said. was largely along the
grade made some years prior to that
time by the Oregon Short Line.
J. b. Oglesby. former commercial
agent for the Rock Island in Salt LaS.e,
testified that the Southern Pacific and
Union Pacific railroads were in active
competition prior to the consolidation.
Several other witnesses are to be ex-
amined but the government officials
hope to complete the taking of testi-
mony today.
