Muskogee, Okla, June Mrs.
George Glover, of Melette, Okla. and
her three children, Sallie, 1S years
old; Roxie, Is, and Robert Ia, were
drowned in the Canadian river at Bar
tons ferry, near Melette, at 5 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, when a wall of
water came down the river and swept
them away.
The drowning was one of the most
peculiar known in this part of the
country Mrs. Glover and her chill.
dren were crossing the river when the
two horses and wagon became stuck
in the quicksand. They worked for
some time to get the horses out. but
We're unsuccessful. Sallie Glover fin
ally got out of the wagon to summon
some men in field about a half mile
away. She returned with three men
and got back in the wagon with the
family.
While the men were debating as TO
how to get the horses and wagon out
OF the river volume of water four
or five feet high came down the river
completely submerging the four per-
sons and the horses and wagon, sweep
ing them away down stream.
1t is believed the rush of water was
due to cloudburst further up stream.
Mrs Glover had recently bought the
team and was very proud of it, and
for that reason would not leave it in
the sand. She had recently been de-
serted by her husband and was run
ming her farm herself.

 It Is rumored unofficitlly today that the steel mill will be put on single turn for a few days in order that the management may try some new ex- periments in steel making which they have had under consideration for some time. The new methods will be In con- nection with the open hearth method, the Bessemer method being now in use. By the Bessemer process more heat and consequently more steel can be made daily, but if the new ideas prove suc- cessful 1t is thought that as much steel can be made under the open hearth

Washington. November 23.-Monopoly and combination must be recognized as an essential factor in the future develop ment of the water powers of the United States said Walter l.. Fisher, secretary of the interior, before the National Water ways committee today. Secretary Fisher advised the committee to support no leg islation to hinder or prevent the combi- nation power or the consolidation of sev- eral water powers under one system of operation Instead, he said government activity should be centered on the regula- ton of power and electricity production companys, and the national and state governments should speedily agree upon general policy that will encourage de- velopment while protecting the rights of the public.
 ''The net public loss through the non use of these natural sources is quite as great as the loss through their misue,' said Secretary Fisher. Combination and monopoly is the natural end in water power development, but there should be a provision against the assignment of water power sites, without the sanction Of the executive officials of the govern ment." To induce capital enter water power development is an important part of a proper federal policy, said MT. Fish CT. The returns to the investor should be made large enough to bring about the speedy use of all the valuable public water power sites. To protect the rights of the state and the nation and develop the country's power possibilities, MT. Fisher suggested this as the basis for a federal water power policy which he urg- ed on Congress for immediate action:
 Federal government to retain the right to grant permits for power development enterprises.
 The right to adjust the basis of rates at certain intervals to be reserved.
 Provision be made in the grants for regulation of the enterprise by the state or it's municipal division.
 Revenues collected by the government for the use of the water power to be
