demand Of Governor c. N. Haskell tha.
$712OO be Forthcoming from that COM
pany to defray the expenses Of renlov-
ing the state capital from Guthrie, pro-
vide free office rent and pay other in
cidental expenses, a stumbling block in
the path leading to the signing of the
capital bill appeared Tuesday.
The governor gave his rgomise. in a
letter to the democratic caucus Of the
house Of Representatives, that these ex-
penses would be paid before the bills
were signed and he declared emphat-
ically Tuesday night that unless the
proposers Of the northeast site accede
to his request, the bills will not be
signed.
The governors communication was
presented to the board Of directors Of
the Capitol Development company
Tuesday morning. It specified $7l 200
as necessary expenses ,itemized ac-
counts OF which follow: 10 /. VI. Put
nam for survey. $4,000; architect hire,
$4,000; attorneys representing Okla
homa City, $4,000 and $4,000 interest
on $4,000 advanced by the state to
build temporary capital quarters.
After considering the governors
Communication the Capitol Develop
ment company made reply stating
that the people of Oklahoma City had
offered all within their power and
could do no more. The answer stated
further that the promoters Of the
northeast site were at all times ready
and willing to live up to the agree
ment reached BY the senate and citi-

his crop this year promises to be I'M
usually large and good. and that all
the farmers OF the county are satisfied
with their prospects for q good crop,
The rain Sunday will be almost enough
to finish up the growing of this years
yield. and farmers will not feel any
more anxiety on account OF lack Of
moisture.
Those farmers who have large crcps
OF millet and peas ready for moving
are not 50 happy over the rain. This
is not the best time for moisture for
the haymakers. and IL Is likely that
numbers OF tons were ruined by the
late rain.

weeks, and this 10 safe. but the other
varieties OF hay with suffer. The first
crop of alfalfa 10 put away. but the
second crop will not be benefited by

corn. and for this reason those who
raise both are happy.
