his home in Toyah, Texas. For
seven years he has been in the

since leaving here has built up a

has it stocked principally with
horses. Grass is plentiful and stock

RURAL CARRIERS MEETING.
Hon. Sidney Suggs Makes Worth
While" Talk on Good Roads,

From Norman Transcript ...
There was a good attendance of the
rural carriers of Garvin, McClain and
Cleveland counties at the meeting in
the court house aturday night, and
much interest was manifested. Es-
pecially was the talk of Hon Sidney
Suggs on Good Roads" appreciated,
for he is thorougly informed on the
subject and thoroughly enthusiast
ic, and if there is any class of people
more interested than another in Good
Roads it is the rural carriers We
wished the room could have been filled
with citizens to hear Mr. Suggs, for
he certainly talked right from the
shoulder, showing the necessity of
good roads and the great benefit they
are to both farmers and town people
He is especially interested in getting
national appropriation for an east
and west road and one from north to
south through Oklahoma, these to be
seconded by lateral roads running in
TO them, to be built with state and
county aid, and declares the time is
surely coming when scientific road
building and maintenance will be one
Of the principal departments of the
government Systematic and scien-
tific road building is his hobby" and
it is certainly one that appeals to all
thinking men.
After his talk the organization pass
ed the following resolution:
eve, the rural carriers of McClain,
Cleveland and Garyin counties, in con
vention assembled, do most heartily
resolve that We firmly believe that ma
tional aid is the initial or stepping
stone to a real road system, and, be
it further
Resolved, That we further believe
that no great Improvement can be
made in the roads of Oklahoma until
they are surveyed and planned by a
competent engineer under direction
of the department of highways.

VIM. \. MURRAY
Z. OPPOSED TO GORE
TlSHOMlNGo CONGRESSMAN MAY
GET IN SENATORIAL RACE. FA-
VORS MEXICAN INTERVENTION

William H. Murray, congressman-at
large from Oklahoma was an Ard
more visitor yesterday. He spent a
portion of the day with United States
District Attorney Hayden Linebaugh.
| Mr.. Murray stated that he was in Ok
| lahOma looking after his farms and
would remain here about ten days un-
less he was called TO Washington ear
lier by his democratic colleagues.
Oklahomans have asked the ques-
tion, what will Murray run for" a
hundred times and he came more near
ly answering that question yesterday
while here than he has at any other
place in the state Mr.. Murray wants
to see Senator Gore defeated for the
United States senate. He states his
reasons for desiring to see the defeat
of the blind senator and does not
mince words in giving his reasons.
If some one whom Murray can in
dorse and whom he feels certain will
win, gets in the race against Gore,
then Murray will run for congress
from his district. Mr.. Murray did
not say SO, but it is the opinion of
friends of his that he would rather
United States senator This prefer
ence is not based upon fear of the
outcome of the campaign, but is bas-
ed more upon his individual prefer
ence. He has been in congress a year.
He has become to some degree ac-
quainted with the men there and with
the methods of legislation in the low
er house, and there are certain things
which he desires to do in the house
and would probably prefer to remain
there instead of going to the senate.
In speaking of the Mexican situa-
ton Mr. Murray said he believed that
Intervention was inevitable, and be- |
lieving that, he favors immediate in
teryention. In discussing rebellons |
he said they were formed mostly |
about the custom houses where the |
receives its taxes. that |
this government can intervene in |
Mexico and restore peace there with |
but little bloodshed. He would send !
vessels to the coast to take charge
of the custom houses, he would sta
ton armies along the land border to
take charge of the custom houses and
to see that no supplies of ammunition
were shipped into the country. His
opinion is that within thirty days Mex
leo would exhaust its supply of am
and the country would be
forced to submit to a peaceable solu-
ton of the question.
"'ln case the United States inter
feres, would the MeXicans retaliate
by numbering our citizens in that
was asked. THAT might
De true, said Mr. Murray, but they
ire already numbering our men and
'utraging our women and there are
'ut few Americans now in that coun.
ry."
Mr.. Murray also state that if this
country does not intervene, that for
ign countries will and that will bring
N international complications that
'ill cost a great deal more money and ,
hat may result in a much greater loss
f life than would result from the re- ,
toration of peace in Mexico by the ,
Tnited States.

CARS FREEZE TO TRACK

We clipped the following story
Of cars freezing to the track on
the Denver & Rio Grande railroad
from the Tonopah Bonanza:
The vicissitudes Of raiIroading in
the winter, especially when the
temperature reaches 18 below zero,
we're pictured Saturday night when
the crew of sixty loaded coal cars
on Soldier Summit found, when
the signal to leave was given, that
the train was frozen to the rails.
Brakes were found frozen TO the
wheels and in turn the wheels we're
fastened securely t. the rails in
the icy connection.
Two engines failed to budge the
frozen train and the tightening of
the ordinary load was resorted to
by dragging ten cars. The crew
thought the engines could manage
successfully and decreased the train
to forty cars. This, however. had
no effect on the remainder Of the
train, which still stood fast. A
second lot of ten cars was taken
off, with no more effect, and Their
two more cars were relieved from
the standing train. The third at
tempt to move with the lightened
load was no more successful than
the others, and by this time the en-
gineer Of the road engineer found
his water supply running low and
he had TO make the run to Gotten
to fill the tank. When he return.
ed to the summit the train crew
found that its working limit of
hours was up and they we're tiled
up" for rest. The twenty-eight
cars were left standing awaiting
the appearance Of the sun in the
morning to thaw out the brakes
and wheels. s2

Invest and best camp in Nevada.
II was in the dividend class long
before Ely produced a pound Of
copper but its total dividends to
date amount to only little more
than $ls, 100000. During the past
four and half years the copper
mines of Ely have paid dividends
of almost 100000. The total
dividends OF the Tonopah mines
this year amounted to $2,953, 482.
while the Nevada Con<alone for
the same period will soon have dis
bursed almost 100000 in divi-
dends. The total pay roll for the
camp Of Tonopah for the current
year is given at So, ,0OC, while
that of the Ely district wa in
round figures about $4,000, 900.
Tonopah is a great camp, world
wonder, but in point of output Will
soon be surpassed by the mines
Of the Ely district, which as yet are
only in the development stage.
With the new srelter and concen-
trating plant which is assured the
output of this district will soon he
materially increased. From the
present outlook it is not reasonable
to predict that the output of the
Ely district will be doubled within
the next four or five years.-EIy

The COW RECORD

Remarkable tests on "LaMay,"
one Of the prize Holstein cows,
which the people Of the state of
Nebraska own, and which is q men,
Der Of the state farm herd. have
just been concluded. In a year this
"bossy" has produced 1900
pounds IF milk and 1913 pounds of
butter-fat-tbe total production at
prevailing prices being valued at
$1J66. 49,.
The average Nebraska COW in the
same time has produced about 5000
pounds of milk and $50 pounds of
butter-fat thereby returning to her
owner a total of 1925. The excess
in favor of the well-fed, well-bred
cow therefore is $84l.4O for the
year nr slightly over $40 per month.
The test has been carefully con-
Quoted and the figures have been
kept on the amount Of feed con-
sumed and the total rost of main
tanning the cow, while she has been
making her record. In the twelve
months she ha" returned something
more than $500 for every dollar
spent on her, while Mrs. Average
Cow has produced $1.20 for every
dollar spent in caring for her.

LAND OF OPTIMISM

If. as some unsuccessful and
consequently disgruntled individ-
uals declare, there has been pro
paganda of pessimism" in this coun-
try, it certainly has not reached
Nevada. No state in the union can
boast today Of az equal degree of
prosperity in its every industry.
Poverty is absolutely unknown in
this state, as it exists in older and
more densely populated communi
ties, and the state is becoming the
Mecca for homeseekers. Hundreds
Of thousands Of acres of virgin land
will be redeemed to cultivation
within the next few years; the pop
ulation will increase materially and
with the constant expansion Of min
ing operation the states production
of minerals cannot fail to increase.
Nevada is prosperous now and its
prospects for the future are indeed
bright. --Goldfield Tribune

PROTEST OF FARMERS

The Irish potato being a native
of the United States it is passing
strange that we are unable to pro-
duce a sufficient quantity Of the
tubers for our own needs. But
such is the case. Ship loads of
potatoes were imported last winter
and the proposition CT utilizing the
foreign markets again confront us.
Just now the horticultural board
Of the agricultural department has
the matter under consideration ow-
ing to the claim made in many
quarters that there ig grave danger
of the importation of plant diseases
along with the potatoes. The sit
uation is one that calls for earnest
consideration and drastic action.
Bringing down the high cost Of
living is one thing; the importa-
tion Of plant diseases which would
ruin future home crops is quite an
other. The board of horticulture
hould look ahead before rendering
a decision on such an important
matter. Salt Lake Tribune.

CH|LD'S FEET FROZEN

Early this morning Manchie Flor
ence Mikesell, 7-year-old child
was sent by an older sister to one
of the neighbors for a fire shovel.
The child left the house bare-footed
and went to the neighbors and
remained half an hour or go. She
then started back with the shovel
and lost her way and about 8 o.
clock was found at thu Western
Pacific passenger depot. She was
taken into the ticket office and DR..
Hood and the sheriff's Office were
notified. DR.. Hood responded to
the call and did what he could for
the child and then had her taken
home. Deputy Sheriff Lamon also
answered the call but found the
child under DR.. Hoods care.
We learn from DR.. Hood that the
cnild's feet are not badly frozen
and that with proper care she will
soon be all right. 1t is said that
the ash shovel was frozen to the
child's hands when she was taken
into the ticket office but her hands
do not show any evidence Of hav-
ing been frozen.

our BURNING WIDOWS

The high cou t of Allahabad has
emphasized its condemnation of the
practice of "suttee"--the burning
Of widow on her husbands fun
eral pyre-by increasing the SEN
tence of two of the relatives of a
woman who thus recently sacrificed
h rself. She was the widow of a
wealthy Brahman, and according to
the ancient rite, which has been
prescribed by the Indian govern
ment since 1929, caused herself to
be burnt alive on his pyre in the
presence Of the whole village, her
relatives assisting at the cere-
monies. Five Of the latter were
arrested on the charge of "abet-
ting suicide" and were sentenced
to Imprisonment by the trial court.
In their appeal to the high court
they failed to substantiate the de-
Tense that the fire was lighted by
supernatural means, the flames de-
scending from heaven, and the ap-
peal was rpromptly dismissed and
the increased sentence imposed.
