The most substantial and prosper
Gus business men and taxpayers OF
the city are almost a unit in favor
of the city owning the water plant,
and one of the chief among the most
enthusiastic of them is ]. L. Stock
ton, the progressive and eminently
successful merchant whose record in
public and private, and especially in
the business line is well known and
respected. AS a member of the city
council, in which capacity he served
the public honestly, faithfully and
uncomplainingly for two successive
terms, he stood steadfastly for
economy and retrenchment all along
the line of civic government and
came out with skirts clean and an
enviable reputation as man of keen
discernment between right and
wrong, waste and business frugality,
and man of sound business judg-
ment.
"It is the best and only thing the
city can do" said Mr.. Stockton in
course Of discussion of the subject
last evening. Reports have gone
abroad and taken root to the effect
that the Salem water is unhealthful,
however groundless the reports may
be, and 1t is a most damaging handi-
cap which the city will never over
come until It takes the matter in its
own hands and wipes out the blot
effectively and forever and aye, and
this cannot be done otherwise than
by taking over the city water works
and bring 1t up to the highest stand
ard of purity and efficiency. There
is no other course to pursue which
would have the desired effect Of in
stalling absolute confidence in the
future welfare and protection Of the
health and interests of its citizen
ship and the sooner the people make
up their mind to this fact the better
it will be for all concerned.
"If the business of the plant is
properly handled, which the city Of
ficers are perfectly competent to do,
and will do, the plant will prove 4
splendid financial success and will
pay for itself within a few sho,
years. The business of this char
acter can be conducted just as VOL

at the hearing today.
It is believed that Chairman
Burke win examine a number Of
chiefs and leader of the Choctaws
and Chickasaws today relative to
certain other matters in which Nc
Murray represented them.
Even if Cores charges are not
sustained, it is predicted the attor-
neys who have been representing the
Indians, will find this class of busi-
ness in the future far from profita-
BILE.
Charles Lehore, former captain Of
the Oklahoma Indian police, arrived
today and will testify.
D. G. McCurtain, whose testimony
Saturday caused a sensation, was re-
called today. He testified that the
firm of McMurray, Mansfield and
Cornish employed him as an attor-
ney. He retold the story of the al
legged offer of a bribe by McMurray.
81 returned to my home from
Washington and told my father Of
the offer" he said 1.-TWO years ago
I told Edgar A. Moore and eight
more years ago told e. P. Hill, my
law partner, of the offer made me in
1906. The first Gore knew of 1t
was my testimony on Saturday"
McCurtain said he opposed the
McMurray Choctaw contract and in
January, 1908, told McMurray that
he would not accept the $25,0OO of
fer. The next month, he said, Pres
ident Rooevelt disapproved the bill
which would have made it valid.
McCurtain said he was to receive
a quarter of the $750,000 F. E. Nc
Murray of the McMurray, Mansfield
and Cornish firm was to get for GER
tain work done for the Indians. He
said the money had not been paid
him and that he thought he had
been treated shabbily.
1t was shown by the testimony to-

ployed as attorneys in land sales
and was also retained to resist the
payment of taxes on Indian property.
Denis T. Flynn testified that Nc
Murray's firm and number of
Chickasaws held powwow at Sui
phur and that Is Indians appointed
by the firm were sent to circulate
contracts among the tribes.
w. B. Hallman, former Indian po-
liceman, took the stand and testified
that he has circulated the contracts
and secured fully 100 signatures.
He said he was paid 10 per cent for
signed tax receipts but that he got
nothing for the contracts.
Hallman declared that the Choc-
taws wanted a general land settle

The depreciation totals compiled by
the engineers in nearly every instance
showed a very material reduction
from the original cost.
Next a complete showing was male
Of what it would cost to duplicate
the physical plant, and 1t was found
that this would take $378,62S. To
this was added several items such as
a corporation should be entitled to AS
a growing concern. This brought the
total sum arrived at by the arbitrat-
ing engineers to $422,585. This
award was submitted to the council
and the whole matter was finally re-
ferred to special committees. These
committees labored long and indus
trlously to get a better proposition.
They finally succeeding in eliminating
a lump sum of approximately
$4S,000, still retaining all the prop
critics except the water right on the
island, and that they secure for the
nominal figure of 81 per year. In
addition to this item the company
agrees to eliminate a further sum of
$4,000 on account of the water
power, b',T the city reserves an option
to take ever this water power at any
time within a period of three years
at the original price agreed upon. In
the meantime they pay an annual
rental of $4,000 for the use of said
power The engineers estimate that
a like power produced by coal would
cost the city $11,000 per year. Thus
it will be seen that the special water
committees of the council have not
only hammered the price down SAB
900 below the arbitration award, bat
have driven a close bargain in the
matter of retaining the water powor
If needed. Many other points might
be taken into consideration which
have been gained by the committees;
for instance the real estate values
were made nearly two years ago, and

they have greatly increased in that
