House Favors Reciprocity.
! The Minnesota House of Represen-
tatives yesterday, by vote of so to
so, declared in favor of the Canad-
ian reciprocity treaty as proposed by
President Taft The vote came up on
a resolution by S. M. Lee, directing
the Minnesota representatives in
Congress to oppose reciprocity. The
democratic members voted solidly
against the resolution and they were
aided by several republicans. The
motion was opposed and reciprocity
favored by D. P. O'Neil, representing
the Bemidji district, which, by the
way, would suffer as much as any in
the state if the treaty goes through.
Il am going to try and be broad
enough to see this question in it's

Senate to Face Option Bill

Senate to Face Option Bill
Despite the slaughter of the coun-
ty option bill by the house on Tues
day of this week, the senate will do
a little slaughtering of the measure
on its own account. Late yesterday
afternoon, the temperance committee
decided to refer the county option
bill to the senate without recommen-
dation, with the suggestion that it be
made special order of business at
IL a. m. on Friday, February IL.
This move has the sanction of the
county optionists who will thus be
enabled to get the senators on re-
cord.
The Pioneer wishes to correct an
error in this column which recorded
T. M. Ferguson of Barker as voting
against the county option bill in the
house Representative Ferguson,
who was i'll on the day of the con-
sideration of the bill, dragged himself
to the chamber of the house to vote
for the bill and not against it. -.

WINDOW CLOSING IS
COMING To A HEAD
PUBLIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
DISCUSSES QUESTION TONIGHT
OFFICE CRAMPED FOR ROOM.

VIII the Tulsa postoffice be closed
next Sunday? The foregoing question
Is to be decided this week and is the
current topic on the streets. Post
master w. /. Reneau stated in an in
teryiew last week that something
would be done before next Sunday.
The agitation has reached the
point where the matter must be fin
ally decided, say the interested ones.
The postmaster Is of the opinion that
Tulsa business men have more at
stake in the Sunday opening of the
postoffice than anybody else, and that
it should be up to them whether the
office closes.
With the intention of ascertaining
the feeling of Tulsa business men on
the question the postmaster has writ
ten letter to Frank =. Sutherland,
secretary of the Commercial Club,
which will be read at the meeting of
the public affairs committee of that
organization tonight.
Whether or not that body will take
action on the matter 1t is not known.
Secretary Sutherland Is of the opin-
ion that II Is not matter for the
Commercial club to settle.
That many of the Tulsa business
men get their mail through boxes
and would not be affected by the
closing Of the Tulsa carriers win
dows on Sunday is argued by those
who desire to have the windows re-
main closed The carriers of the
postoffice are for the most part in ia
vor of keeping the windows shut A
new viewpoint has arisen In the mat
ter. II is argued that If the windows
are closed on Sunday there will be an
increased demands for boxes. and that
so great will be this demand on ac-
count of so many people getting their
mail through them that the work in
the week will be no heavier than it Is
with the carriers windows open.
Enough mail will be taken from
boxes to make up for the extra
amount OF mail. which would other
wise needs he carried on Monday, or
during the week.
In the event that the carriers win
dows are closed on the first day Of
the week. there will certainly be a de
mand for at least two hundred more
boxes. The Tulsa postoffice now has
all Of the boxes for which there are
room There lies puzzle which must
be solved. SO inadequate is the post
office space that there Is now a de-
mand for nearly a hundred boxes
which cannot be supplied and where
will the three hundred comes In, ask
the interested ones.
If the carrier windows are done
away with entirely 1t is possible that
more boxes can be put in here than
are now located
In case the carrier windows are
closed on Sunday It is possible that
the general delivery windows will he
left open. In Tulsa there is probably
as much transient population as In
most cities where there is three times
the population. That these people
should be served Is the opinion OF
many who are parties to the Sunday
closing agitation.

Annexation Seems
An ASSURED THING
AFFECTED PERSONS IN ROGERS
COUNTY LIBERALLY SIGNED
TO COME ACROSS LINE,

The annexation of the southwest
corner OF Rogers County to Tulsa
County Is meeting with favor on every
side. The territory which It is pro-
posed to annoX is some of the richest
In Eastern Oklahoma and will mean a
great iVraase in the valuation Of
Tulsa County
Collinsyille the principal city Of tho
tWcnty-seNeu square miles, which are
proposed to he absorbed by Tulsa
County, is' .eckoned as u conner II Is
to Collnsville that the next interurban
out of Tulsa will probably go, from
there making "A connection with the
Iron Moun'l.n road at Oolagoh,
The fact that Collinsyllle win prob
/ ably be connected with Tulsa by the
sand SPRINGS lnterurban railway
makes the annexation to Tulsa County
all the more desirable, and will also
make the people OF that section more
Inclined to come into Tulsa County.
The proposed annexation Is to follow
a vote on the proposition on May 81.
In the even. that the people vote TO
come into Tuls County, 1t win mean
that those living in that section Will
reap many advantages Being con-
ncctei with a richer county will mean
much.
However. the facilities for geeting

gro7test cares. Collinsvile the prln-
cipal city OF the region which Is to be
annexed Is a rival city Of Clarcmore.

separated Ly a distance Of slightly
more than ten miles as the crow flies.
There are no direct connections be-
tween the two. and to make the trip
means either "A long railroad journey
10y way of Tulsa or drive of about
twenty miles. Then the two are
separated by the Caney River. This
stream at tiiaes gets on a rampage aud
makes communication between the
county scat and the south west part
of Rogers County almost impossible.
Secretary Sutherland of the Tulsa
ommerclal Club is for the annexation
Mr.. Sutherland Is of the opinion that

valuation OF Tulsa cit" property Be
Ing the county seat, and with the
added business brought here by th'
Collinsvile people, It well help Tulso
along. In that way both cities will
be helped.
A. +. Ault. who was one OF the
ITulans who induced the Rogers County
people to start the Increment states
that the annexation will be beneficial
to all concerned. According TO Mr..
Ault, there IL no reason why the move
ment should fail. 10 get the thing
before the people II was necessary TO
circulate petitions and get more than
twenty-five per cent of the voters ar
fected as siPners. The fact that s5
per cent Of the voters in that territory
signed the petitions signifies that the
movement will go through.
Besides tho connection between Coli
linsville and Tulsa, which will be af-
forded by the lnterurban route, the
Tulsa line OF the Santa Fe passes
through Collinsville and gives the peo-
pie OF Colinsyille fine connection with
Tulsa.
