OKLAHOMA MAY BUILD ROAD
The Legislature Is Considering the
Construction of North and
South Railroad.

Oklahoma City.-A scheme contem
plating the building by the state of a
railroad line from northwestern to
southeastern Oklahoma, and another
line from north to south paralleling
one of the trunk line railroads, was
considered at conference by senate
and house committees jointly with the
offers of the state federation of labor
The constitution of Oklahoma provides
that the state may engage in private
business The movement comes largely
from organized labor. The cost of con-
struction, including equipment, is to
be about $4,000 mile. Bonds for
the building would be issued and gaur-
anteed by the state. Should the
scheme make favorable progress in
the legislature, it will be submitted
to vote of the people.

1T is A MISTAKE

Many have the idea that anything
will sell if advertised strong enough.
This is a great mistake. True, a
few sales might be made by advertis-
ing an absolutely worthless article
but it is only the article that is
bought again and again that pays.
An example of the big success of a
worthy article is the enormous sale
that has grown up for Cascarets
Candy Cathartic. This wonderful rec
ord is the result of great merit sue
cessfully made known through per-
sistent advertising and the mouth-to-
mouth recommendation given Cas-
carets by its friends and users.
Like all great successes, trade pi-
rates prey on the unsuspecting pub
tic, by marketing fake tablets similar
in appearance to Cascarets. Care
should always be exercised in pur-
chasing we'll advertised goods, espe-
cially an article that has a national
sale like Cascarets. Do not allow a
substitute to be palmed off on you.

AllGHTED On WARSHIp DECK
ELY, THE AVIATOR, PERFORMED
INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.
'e" from Aviation Field to the Penn.
sylvania in San Francisco
Bay and Back.

San Francisco.--Eugene Ely. the
aviator, started from Selfridge Field,
tWeiVe miles south of this city, and
landed easily sixteen minutes later
on the deck of the cruiser Pennsyl-
wanna, anchored in San Francisco bay
The flight was an experiment to de-
termlne the aeroplane's fitness for use
at sea.
Elys machine was sighted at 1850
O'Clock sweeping up the bay toward
the Warship anchorage. The air was
smoky and as he was flying low it was
difficult to pick him up from the shore.
A blast from the Pennsylvania siren,
however, signaled that he was in sight,
and at brief intervals short note was
sounded from the siren to guide him.
Ely flew through the cruiser squad
ron very close to the water. He APP
preached the Pennsylvania from it's
BOWS, swept past few hundred yards
and then circled back, mounting slow
ly and finally settling lightly on the
Dig platform that covered the ships
afterdeck and projected far out over
the stern.
The Pennsylvania let go it's big siren
in prolonged blast and the other
ships of the fleet joined in deafening
chorus of shrieks.
AT lies o'clock Ely left the ship on
his return flight He made fine start
and, flying at full speed, was soon
lost to view in the haze. He alighted
on the aviation field after having been
gone an hour and a half.
Ely's machine is a Curtiss biplane
and especially prepared for the expert
ment.
