MANY COMPANIES
COMPLAIN OF TAX
oil, Gas And Railway Companies File
Appeals From Decisions by the
Board of Equalization.

Oklahoma City, July 11.-Robert L.
Henry of Chicago, president of the
Henry Gas company, operating from
the Hog Shooter field near Bartlesville
and serving that and other gas COM
panies with fuel, told the state board
of equalization that he would carry
his assessment for taxes to the SUI
preme court of the United States be-
fore he would pay on a valuation of
$3.50, 900.
The board few minutes later, by
unanimous vote, fixed the figure at ex-
actly what President Henry said he
would not stand for, and notice was
given of an appeal to the supremeF
court of the state.
Mr.. Henry admitted the investment
represented a value of about s155-
600. but said that all the property of
the company taxable by the state
amounted to only $4,000. The com.
pany made net $4,000 last year, and
Mr.. Henry said that no prudent man
would embark in the busines unless.
he expected to make anywhere from
30 to so per cent profit. The Texas
company, which owns a pipe line and
other property in Oklahoma and is
engaged in transporting oil to the
Gulf, today filed notice with the state
board of equalization that it has an
pealed to the supreme court from the
assessment of it's property as made
by the board on May 16, 1911. The
grounds given for the appeal are that
the assessment is excessive in every
particular; that it attempts to impose
burden on interstate business
through means and instrumentalities
located outside OF Oklahoma. and that
the board heard no evidence or re-.
ceived, no information upon which to
base the assessment. The board will
on next Monday also hear the Gulf
the Prairie Oil and Gas, Kansas Nat
ural, Marnet Mining and Quapaw Pipe
Line companies.
John J. Jones of Chanute. Kans.. whA
appeared for the Kansas Natural.
Marnet and Quapaw companies. stated
that the life of the Kansas Natural
largely depended upon the supply GA--
the Oklahoma gas fields. Mr.. HenryN
Of the Henry company who sells

told the board that the Oklahoma fields
would be drained in three years, since
millions of feet are going out daily.
The Kansas Natural supplies Kansas
City consumers.
W. 2. Dewar, vice president of the
Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf Railroad
company, and Arthur Miller of Mus \
kogee asked the board to reduce the J
value of that property from s135,0O0
to $4,000 per mile. They stated that
the road was not making money. On
bonded value the board figured out
the property was worth about $21 900.
Mr.. Dewar stated the company had to
go to Frisco to get the money to
finance the property; that Wall street
would not have the bonds. The com. \
pany contemplates extensions of the
line to Tulsa and Oklahoma City. The Y
board declined to reduce its figures.

NO LEGS GETS INJUNCTION
TO PREVENT INTERFERENCE


Guthrie, Okla, July 12.-Federai
Judge John NJ. Cotteral Tuesday
granted restraining order on the
petition of United States Attorney
Embry preventing the state and all
the other various claimants of Turkey
Island. in the Arkansas river near
Ralston, from interfering in any man
ner with possession of the island by
the United States and its ward, Larry
Nolegs, to whom the island was alIot-
ted four years ago.
The island is about eighty acres in
extent and is of untold mineral value
because of the oil and gas deposits un-
derlying it. The state claims the is
land on the allegation that the Ar.
kansas is navigable and therefore its
bed and islands are state property. It
is claimed also by w. H. Edmundson,
a squatter ]. w. Ortner and II. A.
Thomas, homesteaders and various
others including the Barnsdall Oil
company, Indian Territory Illuminating
Oil company, Producers Oil company
and 7. N. Barnsdall of Pittsburg, Pa.
The commissioners Of the state land
office, Attorney General West and his
assistant. A. P. Crockett, are named
as co-defendants by the petition. All
mineral prospecting, mining and drill
ing is prohibited. The matter comes
up for final hearing July 20. Prac-

This sale sets new pace for the
price of dairy cattle in the west and
this was distinctly western sale.
Think of it 1T head of registered Jer-
sey cattle (cows, calves and bulls)

Cooper sale and it is said Mr.. Cooper
controls the Jerseys of the world. One
bull sold in above sale for $4,000.
Another for $4,000. One COW selling
for $S.425.OO. Jerseys are certainly
selling high and yet what will pay
more revenue in the investment than
a good Jersey COW?
Have you ever thought what the
dairy COW does for us in our daily
lives. When we awake we behold the
walls on which the plaster is held by
her hair.
We fasten our clothes with buttons
and we comb our hair with a comb
made from her horns. We put on our
feet a pair of shoes made from her
skin. We enter the dining room and
we set down to a tempting breakfast.
We find she has provided us with a
.piece of cheese, a cup of milk, pitch
-er of cream, a plate of hot cream bis
cult, a dish of butter, a smoking beef
o,teak, the delicious cream gravy. And

NEW PROPOSITION
WILDE SUBMITTED
Capitol Building Company is Prepar-
ing to Lay New Plan Of Pay
ment Before Governor.

Oklahoma City, July 1l.--A proposi
ton to be submitted to Governor Lee
Cruce within the next two or three
days, is being worked out by the CAP
itol Building company regarding that
clause in the contract with the state
which provides that the payments for
the capitol shall be made In monthly
installments of s25,OOO What that
proposition is was not given out by
members Of the company, but 1t is un-
derstood to be a plan by which the
state officials will be satisfied, without
the actual payment of the money at
this time.
The fact that the construction of the
capitol building is not underway as
yet, and that no expenses connected
with it have been incurred by the
state, in the opinion of Judge B. F..
Burwel,, does away with that pro-
vision of the contract calling for the
first payments on July /, 1911. Judge
Burwell represented the senate com
mittee of the legislature as its attor-
ney in drawing up the contract, and
he worded that section himself.

ment of the $1,000000 was thoroughly

for the first time this season appeared

a pity that she continues TO color her

Louise Honer's beautiful and imperious

voice.
Ricardo Martin was s~plendidly e1ec-
tive as Radames. His voice. bigger

picturesque. The front was of leather

general OF the period. Mr.. Martin de-
|elared whom the writer asked him about
It afterward. A generals head was
always shaved. Mr.. Martin said. and
the rope strands were part OF his de-

Amato made Amonasro a significant
figure, singing g~loriously. Dldur as
