WINTER FoRTIFIcATioks

Oklahoma houses need to be better
fortified against the storms OF win
ter. House building is generally done
in the summer time when the work
men mop the sweat from the brow and
when the owner carries an umbrella
to protect him from the sun. When
the sun is beaming down, it is hard
for thought of cold weather TO soak
into the Uranium. The editor OF the
Oklahoman feels the need of better
fortifcations against the hosts of the
Frost King. He tells story of how
inconvenient il Is to climb under the
house on cold morning when the
northwind is sweeping down the street
at a rate OF forty miles an hour, with
torch in hand trying to thaw out water
pipes. A torch made of newspapers,
a man crawling on all fours, the wind
shrieking under the house. the pipes
cracking, the eyes dimmed with cold
tears-all of It is a pen picture of the
Oklahoman editor trying to thaw out
the water pipes so a few drops OF
water might find their way into the
home.
Charley Stewart OF the Magnolia Co,
here, had about the same experience.
Mr.. Stewart came from Pennsylvania.
Up there, he says. the builders make
some calculations for winter, down
here the trenches may be dug for the
water pipes, but the pipes are not COW
cred in the trenches and they freeze
with the first breath of winter.
The fellow who owns a trusty old
well. dug five feet acroos, after the
fashion prevailing in the country
years ago, is. the fortunate man in
the cold winter time when the forti-
fications against cold have not been
made, and when the water pipes are
frozen. Yes, give us the well OF the
"old oaken bucket"

The Guthrie viaduct case which
was recently decided by the supreme
court takes powers away from the
corporation commission which IL has
been exercising since statehood. from
the newspaper report of the opinion,
it would seem that the commission has
no right to order improvements made
except where the safety of life is con
cerned If that is true, the commission
would have no right to order building
Of new depots and would take much
power from the commission which 1t
has used to bring greater conveniences
to patrons of public service corpora
tions Just what is held in the case
will not be known until the full text
of the opinion is published
