5000 each, and in spite of the snow ly-
ing on the ground and the general in
clemency Of the weather, good por-
tion of the time while the property
was being offered every lot was sold
within ten days time. Mr.. Chas. G.
DePue, secretary and treasurer of the

enough to go around for all who want
ed to buy.

sS to $40 per foot and they will not
remain long on the market at these
figures as lots in the older part Of

.STILWELL WINS FIGHT
FOR COUNTY SEAT

Guthrie, Okla, Mar. 2.-The election
returns from Adair county, relative to
the county seat contest between the
rival cities of Stillwell and Westville
were received at the governors office
this morning. NVestyille was declared
the temporary county seat of Adair
by the constitutional convention and
there has been a prolonged contest
and lack of final result since state
hood. Under the returns as stipulat-
ed by the election commissioners to
the state executive Stillwell has a
majority of 80. The successful city is
on the Kansas City Southern road, as
is Westville, but the latter line from
Okmulgee through Muskogee and Tah-
lequah to Arkansas points.
Deputy Sheriff Smith shot man
named Wolfe at the Wauhillau pre-
cinct, one of the voting places almost
on the Cherokee county line, where
there are no telegraph and very poor
telephone connections. The sheriff
officer is reported to have been an
intense partisan of the Stillwell cause.

NEW RAILROADS MEET

Guthrie, Okla, Mar. 2.-There was
meeting at one of the local hostel
ries yesterday afternoon and evening
of promoters of railway lines that are
to traverse the Usage Nation from
east to west. and the road proposed
from Vinita to Bartlesville to connect
with the Usage line, held an informal
meeting. The meeting being informal,
no definite arrangements could be
made. 1t is now believed the new
electric line from Coffeyville south
through the Verdigris valley will be
extended as far south as Nowata, or
even further, this summer and the
proposed steam roads will intersect
it, each feeding the other in rapid
ly growing country, both as to pro-
ducts of the soil and in manufacturing
The roads are backed by Coffeyville,
Caney and Fort Scott, Kans., capital,
and Pawhuska, Bartlesville, Vinita,
Nowata and Chelsea, Okla, with st.
Louis builders of note ready to take
half of the expense under their own
protection.

TAYLOR BILL IS
PASSED BY HOUSE
Amendment to Constitution viii Be
Suggested as Soon as Governor
Signs Bill.

Guthrie, Okla, Mar. BY strict
party vote, after a debate limited by
agreement to an hour on each side,
the house yesterday finally passed the
senate bill by Taylor providing a spe-
cial modification of the initiative and
ferendum by which the democrats ex-
pect to place an educational qualifi-
cation, coupled with grandfather
clause, in the state constitution.
| The bill will so to the governor for
his signature as soon as it is enrolled.
| AS it deals with the initiative and
referendum, 1t is not subject to a ref
erendum. AS soon as the governor
signs the bill a joint resolution sug-
gesting the amendment of the consti-
tuition for the educational test and
grandfather clause will be passed.
The republicans in their speeches
charged that the Taylor bill was a
part of the plan to disfranehise the
negroes Of the state. This was ad-
mitted by the democratic orators.
IF it is the purpose to keep the ne
groes from voting, am for it," said
Anderson, of McCurtain.
q am opposed to the negro voting" !"
said Gilmer of Ardmore
Democracy in Oklahoma is going
to preserve what it has gained in Ok
lahoma, said Workman. of Claremore.
q believe in government by the
white people. We will pass the cleo
tion laws, and no matter how much
Doodle your campaign committee has
to use, it will find that your forty
thousand purchasable voters cannot
be brought to the polls. The republi-
can party has a wonderful record of
national victories, but a revolution is
at hand. Your party organizations is
trying to kill that honest band of in
surgents. Two elements in the re-
publican party will destroy each other
and the revolution now in progress,
clearly shown by the insurgency in
your party, due to broken compaign
pledges, will result in a democratic
victory"
Cook, of Muskogee. formerly mem
ber of the supreme court Of North
Carolina, made the principal speech
for the republicans. Cook. who was
confederate soldier, said he was a
republican, not because of the negro
but in spite of him, and that it took
as much courage for him to be re-
publican as it had to face the cannon's
mouth. He expressed the belief that
the Taylor bill and the grandfather
clause would create bitter strife in
the state, such as existed in the south
during the reconstruction days, and
that the negro in forty years of free
dom had by education and training,
been fitted for the election franchise.
He declared that in the forty years
since it's emancipation from slavery,
the negro race had made more pro-
gress than any other race in the same
length of time, excepting the Jap
anese.

FOR BETTER SANITATION Z.
IN MARKET DISTRICT
Following Quiet Inquiry, Conditions
Along Louisiana Avenue Will
Be Improved.

There will be great deal to do in the
market stands owned by the merchants
in the wholesale and produce market dis
tricts along Louisiana avenue and the
streets in the section known as 1.-The line
when the police and health inspectors
get through with crusade started quietly
few days ago. That whole section,
given over to the handlers of live stock,
meat. vegetables and food of all sorts,
has been under the scrutiny of men from
the District building Conditions. sanitary
and insanitary, have been noted, photo
graphs Of actual conditions have been
made. and the whole batch of evidence
is now in the hands of a committee of
three District officials to be studied and
used for the basis of regulations which
will correct some of the conditions which
the Commissioners think are bad, to say
the least.
All this work has been going on
quietly. The papers in the case have
been handed furtively from one Dis
trtct employe to another. However, the
dealers along Louisiana avenue nave
known for some days that they are the
object of sclicitous care from the police
AMI health inspectors and only await
the publication Of the official order
which will Judo btedly Interfere. with
their business but which, on the o,"er
hand, probably will insure a cleaner
handling Of food in bulk.
One of the inspectors who went through
the wholesale meat houses says the
plumbing is insufficient and that the pres
ent condition scarcely would be tolerated
in any other portion OF the city. Another
inspector says the food ia piled up in
boxes along the sidewalks in violation of
police regulations.

regulation to deal with the condition con-
