The new senator from New York,
O'Gorman is classed as a progressive
but he is said to be opposed to Roose-
velt's new nationalism. In his new ma

Il would be interesting to know just
what sort of progressive O'Gorman

The oil and gas inspector In his an
nual report for the year ending June
80. 1910. gives additional information,
and though some Of the figures have
necessarily changed IN the past seven
months, the discriminating reader will
be able to form a clear, general con-
ccption OF the state Of the industry.
The inspectors Introductory re-
marks to his detailed report will be
quoted In part:
"The oil ana gas industry has been
one OF the foremost factors In the
rapid development of this state. II
Is estimated that sale, OF oil and gas
for the past year amounted TO over
t1s.OOO,OOO.
1T is estimated that there have
been over 5000 wells drilled in Ok
lahomu. About 1000 OF these wells
have been either dry or abandoned, 4,
leaving about 1900 producing wells
In operation. During the past year
3,3i0 wells were drilled, OF this mum
ber, 2,sOS were oil wells. 1875 were
gas wells and lb2 were dry holes.
"The total number OF wells plugged
during the year. under state inspec-
tion. was $40.
Tho daily production In Oklahoma
IL estimated at 10000 barrels.
"1ho estimated volume OF CONNER
olal gas wells IS 1,225,OOO,OOO cubic

timated at 250,D00.O00 cubic feet.

AS there has been a great deal
of delay in the concluding of the
contract for the water works, and
as there is an impression abroad
I that Mr.. Swanwick has failed or
refused to make the bond required
by the city council, to correct the
last and to explain the former
situation, this explanation is from
official sources.
Mr.. Swanwick is ready to come
here at a1y time on twenty-four
hours notice, with his bond, and
go to work, just as soon as men
can be put on the ditch. Mr..
Swan wick is not in any way re-
sponsible for the delay in getting
to work. He was ready aud anx-
lous to 60 to work on February ],
and is still in the same attitude.
The delay has been principally
caused because of the failure to
get two acts through the legisla-
ture. These acts are made nee
essary because the attorneys who
are examining into the legality
of the bonds required them N or
der to correct certain defects in
the original act, and the proceed
ings hereunder, and without
them they would not pronounce
the bonds legal. They were in
troduced into the Legislature be-
fore the adjournment and passed
the hoNse on tnree readings and
the senate on two, but for some
unexplainable reason were held
up, it said, by request on third
reading in the senate. Senator
Butler was in no way to blame
for this delay, for when the senate

Chase told Brown it was all fixed up,
and Brown told Leach it was all

chewed it up. Then Harris decided
he didn't want no mortgage on no
iack-ass for SOS, and then somebody
brought it into court for some reason
or other-hanged if we know what
for, or who brought suit, or why.
Anyway, Judge Harmon seemed TO
understand the matter just as easy as

Leach sold both horses to Brown.

TREASURER
CAN'T PAY
UNTIL LEGISLATURE ACTS
Writes Contractor Folly Why Bill
is Not Paid, bot Stands Pat on
the Law What Next?

Nashville, April 25.- State Treas
urer Taylor is in receipt of a lettel
from the Beckman company com
planning on account of the non-pay
ment of a penitentiary voucher
amounting to $435.
The treasurer would not honor
this, and has written the Beckman
company that the same cannot be
paid until an appropriation bill has
been passed by the legislature,
The foregoing account of $435
was endorsed by M. M. Marshall
and H. B. Morrow, of the prison
commission and was for the main
tenance of convicts. The states
creditor manufactures blankets, etc.
In the letter, which is addressed to
the state treasurer, the Cleveland
concern complains that its draft has
been returned and requests an ex-
planation of its non.payment.
Treasurer Taylor has written to the
company that he cannot honor the
claim for the reasons set forth above.
Accounts amounting to $8, 1886. 7o
were presented to the comptroller,
and all of them were promptly turn
ed down. The payroll of the Ten
nesssee Industrial school, amounting
to $2,s76.96, was among the ac-
counts turned down.
