0. S. |. WILL BUILD
TO MARSHF|ELD
Question of Further Extend
ing Burley Cutoff Depends
on Court Decision.

". II. Bancroft. vice president and
general manager OF the Oregon Short
Line. yesterday signed stipulated agree
ment by which the company may lay
about nine miles of new track on wha
is known as the Burley cutoff. The line
will extend from Burlcy to Marshfeld.
Idaho, being part of the proposed cutoff
between Burley and Salt Lake CITY
Grading on the line has already been
completed and the track VIII be laid as
soon possible.
Unless the secretary of the interior
Walter L. Fisher. recedes from his posi-,
farther and will he built to Marshtield at
loss to the company, according to To-
cal officials. They say that the Oregon
Short Line management bought the right
of way for the line from Burley TO
Strevell from the farmers who own the
land. Secretary Fisher interfered, how
ever. when the company had the grad
ing done and insisted that the right of
way should have been secured from the
government
The stand taken by the secretary OF
the Interior is on account Of the railroad
lect on which the main and lateral
ditches are not yet located. There viii
be many OF the ditches that must cross
the track and the expenditure viii he
heavy. The secretary contends that the
farmers have no right To sell the right
OF way because they haven't patents to
lna lana, ana he INSISTS lnat the OllcncS
are part OF the government project and
that all pertaining to the government
project should have preference over the
rights OF the railroad and should be con-
sidered In the right of way,
Having advanced this opinion, the sec
retary agreed TO sell the right Of way TO
the company at not unreasonable rate.
but with the stipulation that the railroad
company must stand the expense OF the
waterway crossings gates. fences, bridges
and other things that are not usually
paid by the railroad company The COM
pany signed the stlpulations under pro-
test about a month ago. hut this was not
satisfs ctory 10 the secretary, and yes |
terday. In order to save the crops Of the |
farmers in the neIghborhood of Marsh |
field Mr. Bancroft signed the stipula- |
tions and gave a required bond OF S25,-
900
The case IS now before the supreme
court and II Mr.. Fisher is upheld in his
contention that the farmers have no
right TO sell the right OF way for the
across their land because they
have not final proof on the land, and the
will be built farther. II Mr..
Fisher is not upheld, the management
OF the company says that the road VIII
be completed to Strevel In tho near fu-
ture and from there To PromontorS,
where connections will he made with the
Pacific, as soon as possible.
Mr.. Bancroft said yesterday that lac con-
sdered the stipuations unjust. but that
he would rather submit TO them than
to see the farmers who are struggling
on the government project at Marsh
field lose their crops.

TYPEWRITER WILL
IS A FOuGERY
Oklahoma Court Decides Claim of
Heirs is Typewriter Forgery.

Newkirk, Okla, Dec. 9-Because
the typewriter on which the purported
last will and testament Of Josephus
Morris was written had not been made
in 1907, the county court of Kay coun-
ty Saturday pronounced the instru-
ment a forgery, and admitted to pro-
bate an instrument written on the
same typewriter, bearing the date OF
1910.
When Josephus Morris died he left
an estate appraised at $4,000. Two,
branches of heirs claimed the prop
erty, each under last will" Nelson,
Morris and three sisters presented a
will dated 1910. Other relatives pre-.

Albert S. Osburn of New York, who
gave handwriting evidence in the Rice
Patrick case, and j. F. Sherman of
Wichita, Kans., who gave handwriting
evidence in the land fraud cases
wherein Senator Mitchell was con
victed, agreed that both Wills had been
written on the same typewriter, which
was not in existence until 1910. Upon
their conclusions the court admitted
to probate the will presented by the
four children.

suits filed in 1912.
suaas Confirmed First.


The senate took up the remaining
gubernatorial appointments in execu-
tive session. The remnant of the
state board of education was disposed
of quickly. There was some opposi-
tion to confirmation of the state high
way commissioner, based more upon
objection to the plan of such a depart
ment rather than upon personal
grounds, but the vote against Mr..
rSuggs was slight He was the first
man confirmedsby this session. The
appointments of Superintendent
Adams Of the Vinita asylum, State
Fire Marshal Hammonds, and ]. A.
Stine of the board of control of the
Fort Supply asylum went through
without much opposition.
But rock was struck when the
other appointments were taken up,
and although the members of the SEN
ate were usually secretive as to the
''inside" of the executive session, it
is understood that immediate eontirma-
tion of State Game Warden John B.
Doolin and Lon M. Frame Of the board
'of affairs was baked, and that the
senate may not even pass on these
appointments at the special session.
A secret committee Of inquiry was
named, to look into some matters and
report back to the executive session
Tuesday.

STATE SENATE
WANTS TO STRIKE
Some Appointments, Contest and Reso.
lutions Still Are Pendins-Infor-
nation Wanted.

Oklahoma City, Dec. TO- = With a
number of senators threatening to
leave for home Tuesday, whether the
senate has adjourned or not; with a
hot contest on in the committee on
committees between the new" and
old" senators; with a long legal de-
bate impending in the Aycock-Lang-
ston contest; and with objections to
the combinations of some of the other
appointments sent up by Governor Lee
Cruce to be fought out Tuesday, the
senate really does not know whether
or not it will adjourn Tuesday night.
Monday was devoted to the passage
of more resolutions demanding infor-
nation from state departments on
which "retrenchment and reform"
legislation may be based and to con-
sideration of gubernatorial appointees.
Messrs. W. E. Brandenburg and ]. F.
Warren, the two remaining members
of the old board of education, were
eliminated in the interests of harmony
in accordance with the senatorial plan
to make way for a new board of edu-
cation entirely.
The appointments of State Highway
Commissioner Sidney Suggs; State
Fire Marshal G. G. Hammonds; Su-
perintendent f. NJ. Adams of the vi
nita asylum for the insane, and j. A.
Stine of Alva as trustee of the Ft.
Supply asylum, were confirmed after
some arguments behind the closed
doors. The appointments of State
Game Warden John b. Doolin, Lon
Frame of the board of affairs, the
three members of the state election
board, and h. d. Brunk, Jr., of Nowata
as member of the board of pharmacy
were passed over until Tuesday after
a strong fight on some one or two OF
these last appointees had developed.
The resolutions passedd by the SEN
ate Monday, in open session, were as
follows: BY Senator Roddie, asking
the secretary of state, board of af-
fairs and annotators of the long-fought
over code of Oklahoma laws, to furn-
ish information as to the present
status of the code which was ordered
printed by the 1911 legislature, and
why work on it has been held up, and
it has not been delivered; by Senator
Thomas, asking the state treasurer
for an itemized statement of all souces
of state revenue and the amounts col
lected since statehood; by Senator
Thomas, asking the treasurer for an
itemized statement as to the income
produced by the income, inheritance
and corporation taxes, also the gross
revenue and production tax; by Sena-
