NEW LINES IN oKLAHoNIA.
Fort Smith & Western Preparing to
Extend Line Southwest.

Guthrie, Ok, Feb. 21.-The Fort
Smith and Western railway company,
with headquarters at Fort Smith, ARK,
will take out state charter IN Okla
homa in the near future for the pur-
pose of building a line southwest from
Ell Reno, the present western termi-
nus, to a connection with the Kansas
City, Mexico and Orient road near the
Red river. This fact became known
here during the past week. 1t has al
ways been the intention of the Fort
Smith and Western to build such an
extension, but the state laws were such
that the company has hesitated. The
extension was in view when the COM
pany, four years ago, purchased the
St. Louis, Ell Reno and Western be-
tween Guthrie and FL Reno, giving
the company an additional fifty miles
Of track toward the southwest. Ana
darko, Carnegie, Snyder and other
towns in that portion of the state are
anxious to have the extension con-
structed.
New interest has recently been CIV
en- the proposition of Maj. James Cor
don of Atlanta, Ga, a brother of the
late Gen. John B. Gordon, to build
a railroad northwest from ChickaSha,
in Grady county, west to Anadarko
and Weatherford and thence north
with the Panhandle division of the
Santa Fe system. Chairman De Ford
of the railroad committee of the Ana
darko Commercial club announces that
st. Louis capitalists have offered to
finance the line and that accordingly
work on the permanent survey will be
revived at once. Maj. Gordon spent
several months in Oklahoma last year,
working on the proposition. He has
promoted and built several roads in
different South American countries.
f. A. MoSher, cashier of the Port

the Kansas, Oklahoma and Panama
railroad, states the construction of the
proposed line south to Mangum
through Elk City, Port, Carter and
Sentinel, will begin in the near future.
The company already has a stretch of
road built south from Mangum to-
ward the Red river. The company
was recently rechartered by the state.

INCREASE IN IDLE CAss.
Surplus Made Up of Coal and Miscel
Ianeous Equipment.


A report furnished by the American
Railway association shows a further
increase in idle railroad equipment up
to February 1. The total surplus re-
ported for the first day of this month
is 1856, 1856 cars, which is an increase
over the total of two weeks ago of 34,-
O59 cars. The increase is made up all
most entirely of coal and miscellane-
GUS cars, there being an addition OF
25,442 of the former and SAB of the
latter.
Eighty per cent Of the increase in
coal cars has been in the eastern and
middle states, while the increase in
miscellaneous cars is found principally
in coke cars in the eastern states and
stock cars in the Pacific states.
Box cars show an increase of only
1657 in the surplus, the largest item of
this class being in the Canadian terri
tory.
The report also shows 104,755 more
surplus cars than were reported for the
corresponding period Of year ago In
making comparisons with last year,
however, it is pointed out that consid-
Grafton should be given to the fact that
there has been an increase of approx
mately 100000 in tho total cars owned,
and also that weather conditions which
have prevailed during the past month
have been more favorable for railroad
operation than was the case a year
ago.

English of Omaha and Harry Brewer

ten rounds to a draw here last night.
The first three rounds of the fight
were uninteresting, not one solid

to bore in, but Brewer danced away.
In the fourth, however. the fighters
began smuggling and a dozen heavy
body wallops were sent home by each
man. Brewer appeared to have Eng

sixth round. after the Omaha boxer
had taken six hard left and right
swings to the head. A minutes rest
strengthened English and in the sew

with lefts, sent home hard right TO

with a couple of right body punches.

LOWELL LIKES NEW FOOTBALL
Harvard President Satisfied With the
Game

Boston, Feb. 21.-The revised foot
ball rules have met with the approval
of President Lowell of Harvard uni
versity. In his annual report to the
board of overseers of tho university he
says in part:
1.-THE well nigh universal feeling
that Intercollegiate games of football
were too dangerous to life and limb
has resulted in an effective revision Of
the rules
1.-THE changes have certainly not
made the games less interesting spec
tacles, and among Harvard players at
least, the injuries have been greatly
reduced, both in number and gravity"
President Lowell says last year end
ed with a deficit of more than $500
to the university.

Denver, Feb. 21.-Speed Kelly, the
young infielder who year ago came
to Denver from the Washington club,
will be sold as soon as a new third
baseman can be purchased. This an
nouncement was made by Jimmy Nc
Gill, president of the local ball club,
following his return from the east.

Kelly did not prove a whirlwind in
the Western league last year. He was
signed as q shortstop, but during the
training season injured his hand and
was never able to strike his pace. After
the first few weeks he was relieved of
the regular berth and for the rest of
the season warmed the bench.
Notwithstanding this, Kelly refused
to accept the contract rendered him by
the Denver club this year Instead of
returning his contract signed as had
been expected, Kelly wrote President
McGill saying he had destroyed the
paper and would await a more favor
able proposition. That this will not be
forthcoming is Indicated by McGi11s

It seems to US that it should not be
any concern of the attorney general
what those above him may do, but 1t
should be mis- purpose to perform his
duty, and when that is done his re-
sponsibility ends. A State ofhcer
should not delight in the prosecution
of any of the citizens of the State, but
when he is called upon to prosecute
anyone for violation of any State law,
he should do it fairly and impartially
and with a view to see that justice is
done. The prosecuting officer should
not be concerned about what any other
department of the government might
do, but should proceed to discharge
his duty.

GOV BLEASE AND WINTHROP.

The story sent out from Columbia
to the effect that the graduating class
refused to have Governor Blease pre-
sent their diplomas proves to be with
out foundation. However much Gov.
Blease may be disliked newspaper
correspondents should stick to the
truth or else their facts. The Daily
Mail does not believe in that kind of
iournalism-And Mail.
The fault of several of the news
papers at present is that they permit
the prejudices and personal feelings
of their editors to enter into their
news service. The newspaper report
er or correspondent has large re-
sponsibility, and no reputable news
paper should continue to employ re-
porter or correspondent who colors
the facts to give vent to MS personal
feelings. nor should they keep in their
employ correspondent who persist
emily misrepresents facts. The press
will not have influence for the better
ment of the State nor of the people un-
til it learns the lesson OF carefulness
in the handling of facts.
There could be no possible good
come to anyone, not even the reporter
by sending out such story in regard
to Winthrop, and instead of having the
effect which no doubt the sender hop
ed it would have, it will have an op-
posite effect.
