! Washington, d. c., Nov 27-The in
terstate commerce commission. in
decision handed down Saturday. find
that the proposed rate of lie per 10J
pounds on cement plaster from sta
tions in Oklahoma to stations in Texa.
would be unjust and unreasonable;
that the rate from Alva, Bickford. Fer
guson, Okarche, Ell Dorado, O'Keene

in Oklahoma, to Fort Worth and Dal
las, in Texas. should not exceed 1Sc
per 100 pounds; and that the rate from
Cement, NARROW, Chambers and Nc
Alester, in Oklahoma, to Fort Worth
and Dallas, in Texas, should not ex.
ceed 10c per 100 pounds in car loads.
minimum 10000 pounds.
The decision is by Commissioner
Meyer and follows an investigation into
the cement plaster rates made by the
commission after it suspended the pro-
posed increases which the railroads
intended to put into effect last spring.
The decision points out that Fort
Worth and Dallas are the largest con
sumptive points for cement plaster in
Northern Texas. and the rates in force
were made by the carriers in order to
place the various points of production
on substantial competitive equality at
Fort Worth and Dallas.
Producers of cement plasters in Ok
lahoma are in competition, not only
with one another, but with producers
OF cement plaster in the vicinity of
Acme, Tex. From Acme, via the Fort
Worth and Denver City Railway the
distance to Fort Worth is 1865 miles
and to Dallas 1908 miles. For these
the scale of rates promulgat-
ed by the railroad commission of Tex
as would be 17c; with the approval of
that commission, however, that they
have so some years maintained rates
Of 1Oc from Acme to Fort Worth and
l1Rc to Dallas.
Relief from the operation of the long
and short haul clause. which is in
volved in this adjustment of the ce-
nent rates, will be passed upon sep
arately by the fourth section board of
he commission.

development COMPANY
MAKES OFFER OF 100000

Oklahoma City Nov. 27.-The Cap
itol Development company Saturday
morning proposed to Governor Cruce
to turn over the 100000 bond which it
made for the completion of a capitol
building, in cash, and deed to the state
$50 of the $50 acres of land northeast
of the city belonging to the company,
the sale of which would probably raise
about $1000,O00. The proposition, it
isc stated by good authority, although
the governor declined to discuss the
question for publication, is likely to be
accepted
The 100000 bond which the COM
pany offers to pay over would make
possible the immediate beginning of
construction work Governor Cruce is
known to be very anxious to have the
construction of capitol started at
least during his administration and
declared some time ago that if the
100000 is paid to the state he would
be ready to begin with the building.

FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF
DEATH or DR.. KNAPP

Washington, D. c., Nov. 27.-The
first anniversary of the death of DR..
Seaman A. Knapp is in April, 1912.
The investigations and endless series
of demonstrations which this man car
ried on relative to means of resisting
the boil weevil, his contributions to the
subject OF rice growing along the gulf,
the tremendous forces that he releas-
ed in the south through demonstration
farms, the inspiration which he gave
to boys Of the south through Boys
Corn Clubs and the work that he in
itiated for the girls in domestic science
made this sincere man, if not the great
est, one of the greatest benefactors
that the agricultural south has in its
records.
The next annual convention of the
Southern Commercial Congress will be
held in Nashville, Tenn, April s, 8, r.,
and will deal with the subject of THE
South's Agricultural and Educational
Recovery" 1t is proposed that con-
siderable portion of one day be devot-
ed to honoring the memory of DR. Sea
man A. Knapp, who inspired by love
of the south and working to extreme
age in it's service, has set in motion
forces that will ,remake the south in
the matter of corn raising and diversi-
fication. The most influential man il,
each state of the south who has re-
ceived benefit from the work of DR..
Knapp will be invited to speak regard
ing his work and thus make part of
the imperishable history of the United
States the devotion and vision of this
man.
At the time of the burial of Or.
Knapp no report was preserved OF any
Of the testimonials delivered regarding
his work, and the purpose of the South
ern Commercial Congress is to issue
a volume of its proceedings that shall
define clearly the important place that
DR.. Knapp occupied.

IMPROVEMENT IN pLATT
NATIONAL PARK OKLAHOMA

Phe department of the interior pro
pGses to spend $59, ,455.6O on improve
ments in the Platt National Park dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 80
lb15, il the amount requested by the
secretary of the interior is appropriat.
ed by congress. This is an increase
of $43,45560 over the appropriation for
tina current fiscal year. The items on
which the amount requested is to be
expended are as follows:
Sewer system, $35,0Oe; new admins
tEation building, $4,000; revetment
wall, $500; new pavilion at Wilson
Spring, $40; improvements and re-
Eairs at Wilson Spring, $50; new barns
for the park stock, $1,000; roads and
trails, $1,000; clearing away weeds,
tkistles, and underbrus-, 5000: salaries
$4,000; miscellaneous, $3.50.
For the development and care of the
national parks the secretary of the in
terror has asked congress to appro-
PIRATE the sum of $791 ,e80.60, an in
crease of $617,S30.61 over the appro-
PTfations for the current fiscal year.
Tie national parks constitute ideal re-
creation grounds for thousands of peo-
pie, but their development and use are
seriously retarded by the lack of ade-
auate roads and trails, and until suffi-
oient money is appropriated for be-
ginning a comprehensive plan of de-
yelopment the parks will fall far short
of rendering the important public use
for which they are intended. The gen
eral public interest in these pleasure
grounds is shown by the fact that in a
list recently issued by the department
of the interior 800 magazine articles
on the parks are enumerated. 1t is the
intention of the department to make
the principal places of interest in the
parks more accessible, to render trav-
cling more comfortable by sprinkling
the roads throughout the dry season,
and to guard the health of the traveller
by the installation of proper water
supply and sewerage systems The
responsibility for the future conduct
of the national parks must rest with
congress. but the department feels
that the financial needs of these reser-
vations should be clearly presented to
congress in the annua lestimates.

KILLED OFFICER
At VERNON, TEXAS
When Constable Started to Search
Cotton Picker He Was Shot
BY Prisoners Brother.

Vernon, Tex, Nov. 27.-Posses from
half a dozen towns in Texas and Okla.
homa were out Sunday night searching
for two brothers named Nichols, who
killed Constable Charles Holloway and
wounded a farmer by the name of
Doyle Sunday afternoon when the two
started to arrest the Nichols brothers
on the charge of cracking the Bank of
Adell, Texas, last Thursday night. The
robbers secured $4,000. The alleged
bandits after the killing fed to the
sand hills along the Red river and
there is little chance that they will be
captured before tomorrow.
Constable Holloway and the farmer,
both of whom lived at Odell, went to
a farm near Red river, where the two
brothers wera picking cotton with war
rants for their arrest, suspicion hav-
ing been dir cted against them in con-
nection with the bank robbery. The
two submitted to arrest, but when the
constable started to search one of them
the other shot him dead and wounded
the farmer, who had climbed into
buggy. The horses, becoming frigh-
tened, started to run and this prob
ably saved Doyle's life. He was shot
through the body, but he probably will
recover.
The Nichols brothers fled into the
sand hills north of Odell and were
pursued within short time by posses
from Vernon, Frederick, Altus and
Odell. Two automobiles of officers
from the Granite. Okla. reformatory
with bloodhounds also have Joined in
the search.
Feeling at Odell Sunday night was
high against the two slayers, as Hollo-
way was a popular officer and talk of
lynching them if captured were heard
freely To avoid this the officers, if
they capture the men, probably will
take them to Altus or some other point
where there would be no danger.
