western Railroad people are in the
limeIight again in Beaver county
and the proposition is looking bet
ter than ever before.
Surveyors are at work running
a line from Gate up the Beaver
valley to pass through Beaver and
to Liberal, Kansas. They are in
the vicinity of Riverside at this
time and will probably reach
Beaver the last of the week.
We have no definite lnforma-
tion for publication at this time
but we are prepared to say this
much, the w. +. 6 N. w. will be
built through Beaver county and
keep your eye on Beaver. She
won't be more than a thousand
miles off the main line either. 1t
will be up to Beaver to get busy
and wake up though, remember

MEET HORRIBLE DEATH
Ora Postlewaite and Jet Rog-
ers Buried Alive by Cave
in of Deep Cess Pool

While working in the cesspool
at the Carson Hotel, last Saturday
morning at three o'clock, Ora
Postlewaite and Jet Rogers were
killed by the cavern of the brick
walls. They we're excavating at
the bottom of the cesspool and
neglected to curb the walls above.
At depth of thirty-eight feet the
brick walls above caved in bury
ing them under mass of dirt and
brick. Men on top of the ground
who were assisting gave the alarm.
j. A. Miller, formerly foreman at
the roundhouse, was lowered into
the hole and after six hours of
heroic effort, recovered the bodies.
Death was probably caused by
suffocation. A peculiarly pheno-
menon was the fact that Mr.. Car
son awoke a few hours before the
accident from dream almost
identical with the disaster. He
went to the rear of the hotel and
tried to persuade the men to stop
work. They refused and a few
hours later the tragedy occurred.
A purse of a little more than $100
was raised in a few hours Saturday
by Mrs. 0. 0. McRae who lives in
Floris, Oklahoma, for Mrs. Post
lewaite and her children. A snug
little sum was also made up on the
street for Mr.. Miller for his good
work Saturday. However, he re-
fused to accept it and asked that
this fund also be placed at the
disposal of the family of the un-
fortunate man.

More Lights

The fact that the people of the
town are all for the street lights
has been shown the past week.
Those who live in the neighbor-
hood of the corner of Sherman
Ave. and Fifth st. have formed a
club to install street light at that
corner. Each of the eight pays
twenty-five cents a month for the
maintenance of the light at the
corner. Electric lights haye also
been installed at the corners by
several OF the churches, and it is
expected that the entire number
of 80 street lights voted for by the
present city administration will be
installed by the first of the month,
Lights have also been placed at
the bridges over Can creek on
Sherman avenue and on West
Third St.

Judge Thompson For Con.
gress.

Judge William H. Thompson OF
this district has been urged by
many men Of all political parties
to get into the Congressional
race, and even the Hon. Champ
Clark when here promised if be
would enter the contest he would
come into the district and make
speeches for him. With such en-
couragement it would seem diff
cult for most anyone to resist.
While Judge Thompson fully ap-
preciates the honor rendered him,
yet he feels that with the hand
some endorsement given him by
the people of this district last fall
that he now owes them duty to
remain where he is. To leave the
bench now would result in an ap-
pointment by Governor Stubbs
dictated by the element which
Judge Thompson and his friends
have twice prevented securing
control of the judgeship,and would
not at all be satisfactory to the
people of this district. He is
therefore grateful enough, and
big enough to decline the higher
honor. His many loyal friends
are in hopes, however, he may en-
ter the Senatorial race next year,
when there will be a much better
chance for the judgeship to re-
main democratic, and at the same
time for a higher advancement
for Judge Thompson.

MORE RAILROADS HERE
Liberal Has a Good Chance
For The w. F. & N. w.
Railroad

that the Wichita Falls q North
western Ry. has been sold to M.
X. & T., or what is familiarly
known as the Katy. The road is
grading into Woodward, Okla.
which is ab out 100 miles southeast
of Liberal, and a number of sur
Veys have been run out of that
point. Until a week ago it was
generally thought that the road
would run from Woodward to
EngIewood. Last week it seemed
as though the route changed and
the Gate Valley Star, which is
published at Gate, Oklahoma, on
the east line of Beaver County,
put out an edition on purple paper
announcing that it would pass
through that town. A part of
the article follows:
The largest and most enthusias-
tic mass meeting ever held in this
community was at a railroad meet
ing at the Town Hall on last Sat-
urday night. The W. F. & N.
w. Ry., through Mr.. W. E.
Hooker, their representative, sign
ed a contract to build that road.
A committee of the Gate Com
merciaI Club, met Mr.. Hooker,
the general manager, and Mr..
Sammons, the chief engineer, at
the Frank Maple Ranch, south
west of Gate, where they we're
making a survey up the southside
of the Beaver River, last Friday,
and the committee made such rep
reservations to these gentlemen
that they promised to come to
Gate Saturday and make our peo-
pie an offer. This they did and a
rousing meeting .Sas hsle to re-
ceiye them. After an explanation
was made by the Secretary of the
Commercial Club, Mr.. Hooker
made his roads position clear and
offered a contract to our people
for approval or rejection.
There was no time lost in ap-
proving his proposition and sixty
of our citizens pledged themselves
to comply with it.
1t was the fairest offer that has
ever been held out to our the peo-
Pile of this community by any of
many railroad promoters that have
come our way.
The company agree to continue
their line from Tavern, on the
south side of the Beaver River, to
within two miles of our town
crossing the Beaver River at a
point about 200 yards east of the
mouth of the Kiowa, then running
along the north side of the river
to Gate.
The company asks the citizens
to furnish the right of way for a
distance of only fifteen miles.
There is no other consideration
and no bonus asked for. They
reserve the right TO build their
own town, which shall be within
two miles of the present loca-
tion of the Postoffice at Gate, Ok
lahoma.
The contract WAS signed, COM
mittees appointed and few
the business opened up within a
hours after the contract was
delivered. The entire surveying
corps moved from their camp at
the Maple ranch, arriving Monday
evening and began work Tuesday
morning. The citizens as a rule
are much interested and the right
of way and finance committees are
now at work. Mr.. w. l.. Boards
ley, secretary of the commercial
club was elected as Secretary and
Treasurer of the citizens commit
tee and any Information wanted
will be gladly furnished by him.
The motto will be: Help west

ZILLAH PEOPLE ARE
AFTER MAIL SERVICE
Petition Postoffice Department at

on Existing Conditions

Iillah people are going out after
railway mail service. They have.
through their Commercial club sent
resolutions through to Washington to
the fourth assistant postmaster ask
ing that the mail be carried over the
0. W. r. & n. railway instead of COM
ing to them. as it does at present
from Toppenish by stage They hold
the conditions to be anomalous under
which town on the direct line of
railway is dependent upon a stage for
its mail. Similar resolutions have
been sent out from every commercial
club of the valley along the line of
the O. w. K. & n. railway AS an
illustration of the present incouveni-
encc it may be said that copies of
the Zillah Free Press mailed on Fri
day to subscribers in the Granger dis
trict will not be delivered until Mon
day. In view of the fact that a man
could walk the distance in few
hours this is Il remarkably poor
showing. The railway people are pre-
pared at any time to render the SER
vice if called upon.

In a nutshell, the Indians OF tho

ditch constructed under the supcrvis-

office and not by the reclamation
bureau that has charge of building the
great reservoirs and constructing the
big irrigation canals. They insist that
no part Of an allotment watcrcd by
tho ditch shall be taken to pay there
from, hut that the ditch shall he paid
for out of the tribal money. If there
is not sufficient tribal money, then
the cost Of the ditch shall be paid
for out or the rentals or products
of the aIlottmcnts watcrcd. The In
dians further state that the govern
ment has tribal lands and timber in
trust for them. and that when sold
the money should be added to the
tribal funds. They do not want to
use any part of the tribal funds to
build roads on the reservation.
