no the corporatIona Of oklahoma

To the Corporations of Oklahoma:
Under an act of congress passed
August 5, 1909, every corporation.
joint stock company or association,
organized for profit and having a cap
ital stock represented by shares must
file a report of their business for the
year 1911 with the collector of internal
revenue in the district where their
principal place of business is located.
All reports for the district of Okla
homa must be filed with Geo. r. Knott,
collector of internal revenue, at Okla
homa City.
Principal place of business is held
to mean the principal office where the
company keeps its books from which
the required return is to be prepared
Every corporation shall make the
return required by law, although its
net income during the year may not
have exceeded $4,000. even though its
business may have resulted in loss.
Blanks for making these reports
were mailed in December, 1911, and
any corporation that has failed to re-
ceive blank should write to Collector
Knott at once, requesting blanks.
The return of corporation must
be signed and sworn to by two Off
GERS, one of which should be its presi-
dent, vice president or other principal
officer, and the other should be its
treasurer or assistant treasurer.
Corporations that were in business
but part of 1911, or which transact
ed no business during the year, and
corporations organized during the year
or going into liquidation during the
year should, nevertheless, render
sworn return on the prescribed form.
To avoid incurring the specific pen
atty prescribed, which is $1,000 to
$4,000, all returns must be in the col
lector's Office on or before March |,
l1912.
The instructions on the form fur
Inished should be followed closely.
Respectfully,
GEO. T. KNOTT,
Collector.

KANSAS CITY STOCK
MARKET.
]. A. Rickart, Correspondent.
Q oooooooooooooo o o o

Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. 22.-
Expectation of liberal supply of cat
tie the first of this week, together with
la shortage of refrigerator cars in
which to move the beef, put damper
on the cattle market last week after
the middle of the week. Some cattle
Isold Saturday Is to 20 cents under
their mates that were here Wednes
day. Stockers and feeders were an ex-
ception, the mild weather since the
first of last week stimulating that
trade somewhat Veal calves also
shot upward so cents worth last week
Butcher stuff has been selling rather
better than beef steers, because there
lis a wider demand for the cheaper
| class of meat That tendency has been
boon to quarantine cattle, and the
200 car loads of oil mill steers here
last week sold at $515 to $500, prices
thigh enough to make their feeders
money. The run today did not turn
out to be excessive, $4,000 head here,
but Chicago had too many cattle. 49,
| 900 head, and prices on killing cattle
are steady to 10 lower Butcher stuff
again sells shade better than steers,
and stockers, and feeders are steady
today The best drove of steers here
last week sold at $3.50, on Friday, and
some good steers brought $770 early
this morning A respectable number
of steers sell above $7.40 bulk of beef
steers at $6.25 to 1925. These prices
are $1.O0 to $3.50 higher than a year
ago at this time StoekerS and feed
ers sell from $400 to $500, prices
which are close to those ruling at this
time last year. High cost of feed ex-
plains the difference in the relative
values this year. Dealers advise eau
tious marketing of cattle this month,
as buyers are primed for bear at
tack should volume of receipts indi-
cate possible success. 5tt
! The hog market held up fine last
week till nine-tenths of the 106, 900
hogs that came had been sold, but
after that it dropped, and finished in
the 1926 class. 20 cents below the best
time. Evidently the cholera did a
poor job of cleaning up the hogs of
the country, the way they are pouring
into all the markets. The run here
today is $4,000 head close to the roc
ord for a Monday run here, market )
to 10 lower, top $500, bulk $3.50 to
$615. The big run is not being forced
in. but is a normal movement as indi-
Gated by the increasing average
weight, 1871 bs., last week here, 1870
lbs. the previous week.
The sheep and lamb market suffer
ed from panic last week, many sales
at the end of the week 80 cents to one
dollar below Wednesdays ruling prices
Various trade reasons are given. but
all explanations seem transitory, and
quick return to strength is expected
Run is 1000 today, market strong to
25 higher, top lambs $685., yearlings
worth 1915 wethers $475, ewes $4.l9.
Some Projectors of higher prices have
lost their nerve. but the market still
has firm undertone.

marching men to the uttermost, the
lances were broken up and thrown
away and the troopers carried nothing
in their packs but stinted rations for
a week. The horses were shot and
our men tramped off to the marshes.
We expected that the natives with us
would be able to keep us supplied
with game, and all who were not
needed to carry our tents and cooking
outfit were sent out to hunt for meat;
but 1t seemed that they were unwilling
to take the risks of hostile country,
for the hunters almost always return
ed empty-handed. We were forced to
cut our rations to eight ounces day,
and, at length, to a few morse1s OF
food, for we had misjudged the dis
lance that lay between us and the
swamps.
Finally, after a wearisome tramp
for two weeks. our furnishing troop

stood in the shadow of mimosa. A
moving object caught my eye. A
troop of natives in single file crept
into camp with the sinuous stealth of

with three followers. A moment later

followed at a little distance, rag
ing at heart, but knowing that an
alarm would excite raid that would
kill us all hopelessly AS we ad-
vanced into the forest, the roars grew
tiercer and clearer. Soon the natives
halted. Torches were lighted and the
troop danced around their victim as
before. Then, taking up the body,
they carried it to a heap of boulders
from whence came the mighty roar,
and hurled it into the midst of the
rocks.
The roaring died away and the wild
laughter of the blacks rang out
shrilly. In moment the band has
tened away toward our camp, leaving
their smoldering torches among the
rocks Mystified, Il crept to the place
where I had seen the body thrown
