|S GUTHRIE:
To LAND THIS
RICH PLUM?
RUMORED THAT SANTA
FE WILL ESTABLISH
GENERAL OFFICES

General offices for the Santa Fe
railway company are likely to be 10,
Gated in Oklahoma within the next six
months, and Gutnrie stands a glowing
chance to win the price. This is some
ing tangible and substantial e. go
after in hurry.
An order issued by the corporation
commission requires the location OF
general offices in the state, and the
supreme court has sustained the order.
The railway company one of the four
big systems affected, has appealed to
the Supreme Court Of the United
States. Should the decision of the
court OF last resort be against the
road il would be forced to maintain
offices of Importance in Oklahoma.
The commission has recently grant
ed the Santa re, Rock Island and 9th
er roads involved an extension Of six
months time.
Guthrie is and has long been the
Santa Fe center of Oklahoma. There
is unanswerable logic in favor of the
city as a site for general offices. TIL 3
tendency OF railway corporations is to
keep office forces away from the great
cities and to locate in comparatively
small central points The demorali-
cations of great city are dreaded
on account of the variegated clerical
forces.
The Santa Fe is eentering its work
in Oklahoma here. The building of
an expensive viaduct, already under
way, shows the faith Of the concern IN
the future of the town Half a million
dollars will be spent here on i'm.
provements already planned Some
OF the work has been done. Further
the city is becoming a division point
of still greater importance through
the arrangements to make the gulfto
coast line shorter. This plan includes
the use of the present main lines from
the Texas coast to Guthrie, the use
Of the Denver, Enid and Gulf line
from Guthrie to Kiowa, Kas., the
building of a thirty mile connecticq
beyond Kiowa so as to connect d.
reCaly with Denver. This plan v5T
give the Santa Fe an immense a4
vantage in business from the Pacific
Coast and far west generally to the
middle states and the Gulf of Mexico
Several OF the Santa Fe lines from
| various points touch the main line
here.
General offices in Guthrie woulf
mean great deal. The offices would
/ necessarily carry several important
officials, large clerical force of higf
grade, headquarters for attorneys, en-
gineers and others.
There is every inducement FOL
Guthrie to get busy with this proposi
tion. The offices are very decided,
worth the attention Of any town from
| the size of New York to that of Sew
lard. Apparently this city Is the losica
point, in case general offices must b
4 located, and the job Of doing the nee
essafy convincing is up to the tow

Charles G Jones. nr "firistmill," as
he was familiarly kaown throughout
all oklahoma, was a real eighty-niner.
With Henry Oycrsoiser, it may be
said, truly, that he was the real insti.
cation Of Oklahoma City's boom II
was Jones and Gyerholser who snap
Ttd up Guthrie's lost opportunity when
the Frisco railroad was knocking for
entrance into Oklahoma and raised
the bonus of $4,000 to secure that
road into Oklahoma City. 1t was the
making OF the Jones and Overholser
fortunes. Both had enormous hold
ings, which they were carrying at tre-
mendous s9crifices but they held on
tenaciously and subsequent events up
held their Judgment, for both became
wealthy.
'GristmiR' Jones was one of the
most unique characters in Oklahoma.
Processing sublime disregard for the
English language, some of his perora.
tions in public speeches can justly
be regarded as classics, pure in die
ton and thought AS a lawmaker,
serving in nearly every territorial
legislature, he was level-headed and
statesmanlike.
The state Of Oklahoma has suffered
a tremendous loss in the taking away
of "Gristmill' Jones.

WIDE AWAKE MERCHANT 7
Behr is Quick to Catch Onto
Public Demand for Ready
to Wear Garments

I'm these days OF wide-awake mer-
chandising the people note with great
satisfaction the change in the man
ner Of holding special sales They
used to think thai sales were only
for bargain hunters, bit row they
know better The people who wait
for these sales now adays are not de-
sirous of buying shoddy, out OF date
goods, but want the new up-to-date
kind
Mr. Behr, of Behr's Ladies to Wear
store. who was interviewed by a
Leader repovi er. has versions Of sales
that are a little different from those
ordinary merchants. He has just
closed some big purchasing deals
with New York's Ladies Garment
and Hat makers and spoke interest
ingly of the situation that confronts
large manufacturing concerns this
season. 1t appears that the manufac-
turers and wholeAllers W hhve been
left with great deal OF merchan-
disc on their hands, owing to the
turmoil and furor caused by the gen
eral business depression throughout
the country; they are keenly alive to
the advisability of getting rid Of It.
The manufacturers are up In the air
and are looking to the retailers 10 un
load their immense stocks FOR them.
In order to do this they are selling
their merchadise at oneihaH price
to the retailers and in many cases
less. Now the manufacturers must
have capital to carry on their busl-
ness and II is up to them to get rid
of their goods at most any old price
of course the manufacturer Is bound
to lose on these sales but is compell-
ed to make a sacrifice to keep his
head above water. Mr.. Behr, Of the
Behr's Ready to Wear Store was
lucky enough to gel in on some OF
these snaps ifThe women Of Guthrie
can consider themselves fortunate IN
being able to get in on this startling
money saving event as this Is an
opportunity to buy clean up to now
merchandise at fraction of its worth
Really its amazing the values that
will be offered in this big sale which
starts at Behr's Friday morning.

MlyIMUM FRE|GHT RATES
ALSO TURNED DOWN
Court Says Oklahoma Railroad
Provision Violates United
States Constitution

nv Associated Press.)

st. Louis, Mo-, March 29.-The two
cent passenger rate in Oklahoma was
declared confiscatory anG yeld in
valid by a decision of the United
States circuit court of appeals here
to-day. A unanimous opinion Of the
court restrains the members of the
corporation commission OF Oklahoma
ard the attorney general Of that state
Fl iom enforcing the provisions OF the
Oklahoma constitution, reducing the
maximum passenger fare to two
cents per mile and reducing freight
rates on interstate traffic. The m
junction was issued in 1909, when
the corporation commission appealed
to establish a maximum passenger
rate of two cents and reduce freight
rates approximately forty per cent
Ender constitutional provision
adopted in 1907.
The opinion was written By presid'
ing Judge Sanborn. The court de-
olares that the evidence shows that
the reductions would amount to an
almost confiscetion Of railroad prop
erty and would not allow fair re-
turn on the investment. The o9in-
ion declares that the provision in the
constitution Of Oklahoma giving the
corporation commission power to fix
rates is in conflict with the consttn-
ton of the United States.
