there are many improvements going

state that there are several things to
overcome before the line is laid. They
hint. however, this may be done before
another year, and the line extended as
far south as tie cemetery.

Just as the great pipe lines,

the cotton farmer.
In 1909 General West drafted bill
to destroy the cotton trusts in Ok

jury and had four of the cotton trust
agents indicted In October the same
year before Judge Houston in the
district court at Guthrie, General
West began the trial of one of these
indicted parties. District Judge Hous-

the gas to escape that should be hoard

fort to stop the flow, one well in par
ticular, the mayor states, is wasting at
the rate of twenty million feet per day
and this the mayor wants stopped.
Last winter there were. times when
the pressure was so low that the gas
could not be lighted and as there is no
reason for this with the millions of
feet available in the field, the mayor
is going to take steps to stop the
waste. The matter is now in the hands
of the governor and the mine inspec-

that steps will be taken to make the
owners in the fields comply with the
law, if they are not doing so at .the

Dallas. Tex, July 25.-From more
than forty Texas cities and towns TO-
day with three exceptions came the
same election story that the vote was
either heavy or breaking records, The
two exceptions were Brownsville and
TeXarlana in the states far corners
and Laredo. where a heavier vote
was expected during the closing
hours.
From all over the state rains were
reported which made the roads and
weather ideal for the farmers voting.
No serious disorders have been re-
ported. At Palestine last night, ten
men we're arrested for issuing sample
ballots indicating the anti-candidates.
Reports during the day showed
notable absence of predictions as 10
who would win. Most reported a hard
contest or a close race.
Austin. Wichita Falls, Ell Paso and
Laredo predicted either a Ferguson
victory or submissions defeat
Texarkana reported that Ball was
leading. In one small wealthy Dallas
suburb, Ball polled ninety per cent OF
the early vote.
Governor Colquitt at Terrell pre-
dicted that Ferguson would win by
$4,000. Ferguson at Temple said he
would win by $4,000 and Ball at Hous-
ton predicted victory by decisive
and satisfactory majority.
Two issues outweighed all others for
the state at large. They are whether
the next governor shall be a prohibl-
ZIONIST or an anti and whether the next
legislature shall be required to call
a state election for constitutional state
wide prohibition. .
