FANS PULLING
FOR TIM HURST

Timothy Hurst, umpire and one Of
the richest cards that ever got into
the only game. is seriously iii, q
blood-poisoned ankle having tempo
rarily downed him. says w. A. Phe-
Ian. The doctors have hopes that he
will pull through nicely, and both
fans and players Will pull for Tim to
make good. Even Eddie Collins will
hope for Tins recovery. and it was
on account OF Collins that Tim passed
out Of the big Leagues.
In the course Of an argument two
years back Tim wanted to expecto-
rate His eyes we're not as good as
they used to be, and he used Collins
expressions for a cuspidor. This, Ia
the eyes Of Ban johnson, was step
ing over the line or baseball ETH

ended the big league career OF the
famous arbiter--the scrappiest UNI
pire that ever lived and one OF the
most entertaining.

Washington, June S.--The recent
furry as to the railroad situation be-
came a thing OF the past yesterday.
The railroad president went home;
President Taft went horseback riding,
and the railroad bin went to confer
ence. Representatives of the eastern
and central railroads at a conference
with the president yesterday afternoon
agreed to withhold all proposed freight
rate increases until the new railroad
law became effective and after that
to submit the reasonableness of the
increases to the interstate commerce
commission. The railroads interested
in the southern territory declared they
had not as yet filed notices Of in
crease. but that If they did they would
be ready to abide by the decision Of
the commission
At the capitol things were not so
pleasant President Taft sent a special
message TO congress telling Of the
settlement he had reached with the
railroads and urging that the provision
of the railroad bill, which gives the
interstate commerce commission the
power to investigate and suspend new
rates, be made effective Immediately
upon the signing of the act rather
than have It go into effect along with
the other clauses which have a sixty
day limitation following the executive
approval.
The president did this as a part of
the agreement with the railroads by
which he promised them square
deal" and a speedy determination as
to the justice of their new rates. He
also did It to prevent the filing Of any
new rates during the sixty days be-
tween the signing of the act and It's
taking effect.
There was a bitter fight in the house
as to whether the senate amendments
should be accepted as whole or the
measure should be given into the
hands of eonferees from house and
senate The insurgents and democrats

immediate effectiveness of the inter.

could be met by an agreement by the

have the bin sent to conference for a

way to effect the presidents wishes
was to send the bill 70 conference.

To the Road Supervisors,
Craig County, Oklahoma.


Gentlemen: ! notice that IN putting

and bad places IN the road most Of
them are being placed in the middle
of the roads. This placing Of cuiverts
and bridges in the middle of the roads
prevents the passage ON either side Of
the culyerts of threshing machinery or
other heavy machinery. AS machinery
OF this kind is usually moved IN the
summer time when the roads are dry
it would be great advantage to
threshing machine men and a great
savissg to the county and annoyance to
the different supervisors, II they should
place these bridges a little to one side
of the road, allowing as many es IL
or t5 feet always on the hest and
smoothest side OF the road for heavy
machinery to pass.

chine business In this country for the
