HAS
A SUGGESTION
FOR ATION-WOULO REG
ULATE COST OF PARTS OF MA
CHIMES.

| Oklahoma, City, Okla, June 30.-ln
the report to Gov Cruce, to be made
this week by the corporation commits
sion, recommendation are made for a
law that will be unique. This purpos-
cd law will require all manufacturing
companies to file with the corporation
commission complete list of all parts
of their machines and implements that
are sold in Oklahoma with the price
of each part fixed The total of the
parts shall not be of greater cost than
the completed machine or implement.
The corporation commission will be
given power to provide penalties for
any sale of any part of the machine
or implement at a price in excess of
the filed list.
This idea has been evolved by Com
missioner Henshaw as a result of in
vestigation wherein he has discov-
cred that the average cost Of any farm
implement, automobile or any other
machine in use generally by any class
of Oklahoma people, is four times the
selling price Of the machine when it is
bought a part at a time. In the mat
ter of farm machinery and automobile
there is constant demand for parts
to replace broken or worn pieces

STOCK HOUSE ON FIRE
 AT PAPER MILL
Blaze Started Early Friday Morning Water Supply Was Inadequate.

Fire was discovered at the Ameri- can Strawboard company at Thames vile Friday morning in the stock shed at the north side of the plant in a separate shed. An alarm was sent in from both Boxes 136 and 12. caus- ing confusion as to what box was rung in but was strengthened out by a tele- phone call.
 When the. firemen arrived at the scene the fire was blazing fiercely and the firemen were handicapped by the lack of water pressure and the mill pumps were of little use as the tide was low in the river. The fire had a good start and the water that was played on seemed to have little effect. The steamer was connected with the hydrant but although there is usually good pressure in that locality it was impossible to get any supply of wa ter when two or three streams were In use.
 The fire was practically under con- trol at 7.45, but the paper stock is still burning and will burn for a few days. The companies left about 1900 feet of hose so it could be played on the burn ing stock. The fire companies returned at II o'clock. The loss. including both building and paper stock, is estimated at over S5,000. The cause of the fire is thought to have been spontaneous com bustion, and it is said there was an explosion.
 The shed was built about a year ago. being 100 feet by 200 feet, of galvanized iron construction on the outside wood in the interior, with a concrete floor.
 The fire engine had a pressure of 1SO pounds on, but only one stream from the hydrant could be used, for as soon as two streams were put on the hydrant was sucked dry
 The strainers on the lines that led to the mill pumps would only reac hthe water at high tide, so that these lines were of little use.

PREPARING TO RECEIVE
 BIG TIMBER SHIPMENT
Central Vermont Must Dredge Out at
 Docks at New London.

Engineers in the service of the Gen. tral Vermont Railroad company began on Thursday taking soCndings at Long wharf, New London. for dredging that of big steamship lumber cargoeS there. ids for the dredging will be asked for in a few days. The timber is to come from the Pacific coast for use in har- bor improvement work at Toronto.
 Twenty-Five million feet of lumber of the finest quality cut in the forests of the great Canadian Northwest, des- tined for use in the s30.000, 900 har- bor improvements now under way at Toronto. Ont, will be forwarded in the mammoth steel steamships of the Robert Dollar Co. of San Francisco Panama canal and up the Atlantic coast, to be in all probability landed at New London and shipped by way of the Central Vermont and Grand Trunk railroads to its destination. Supt John McCraw of the southern division of the Central Vermont shas stated that negotiations had been in progress for several months and that a few days ago he received assurances that New London would in all likeli- hood be the transfer point for the i'm mense cargo.
 A dispatch from Washington gave intimation of the vast shipment the first installment of which is now on board the 5000 ton steamship Robert Dollar and which will shortly be on It's way to the canal The expectation is that the ship will pass through the great ditch early in July. It will be the first steamship to go through and already numerous photographers have made a series of views of liner and have prepared to photograph her as she passes through the cut betfeen the Pacific and Atlantic.
