man OF Fort Worth; Frank Kell.

italist OF Wichita Falls, and J. J.

20 miles OF the State line and the
other not far away. AIT three of
them have interests In our State and
have Thorough knowledge of our
needs. Mr. KeIl, it will be remem-

All Of the Oklahoma bankers are
loud in their praise Of the treatment
which Dallas accorded to ali the bank-
ers and more especially those from
this State. The Dallas bankers
would not allow their own names to
be submitted as candidates and they
seemed to be antuated, by only one
desire-to elect competent and rep
resentative direetors, who win maze
the Dallas bank a great success and
fulfill the mission which the currency
law outlines for it.

MUSKRAT PLAGUE
 WORRIES BOHEMIA

Vienna, August 15-(SpeciaD--Pri Colleredo- Mansfield liberated ten pairs of muskrats on his estate in Bo- hemia in 1905, hoping that his game keepers would be able to trap them and sell the skins. Today there are 2,000,000 muskrats in Bohemia, and like rabbits in Australia, they are spread ing all over the fruitful regions of the province. even entering the houses in Prague.
 The animals have made their caves by streams of water where artificial breeding Of crawfish Is carried on, and by ponds where carp are reared. As Bohemian carp and crayfish are deli- cacies the owners of the breeding grounds were not gratified at discov- ering that the muskrat.varies his vege- table diet with the spawn of fish.
 The fresh water industry has ap- pealed to the minister of agriculture for assistance. It appears that the musl<rats refuse all kinds of poison and will not enter a trap. The min ister has offered a reward of $400 for any means which will destroy the muskrat.
