TEXAS FAIR
ASSOCIATION
PLANS FOR THE BIGGEST EVENT
IN THE HISTORY OF THAT OR.
GANIZATION.

Col. Sidney Suggs has just return
ed from Dallas, Tex, where he visited
Secretary Stratton of the Texas State
Fair association. He says they are
making preparations to hold the big
gest fair in the history of the organ
ization. For the benefit of exhibitors
and the entertainment of visitors.
Space is being taken rapidly by ex-
hibitors. There will be four bands
in attendance during the fair. re
says that he also inspected the roads
leading out of Dallas and that they
are building wagon roads in almost
every direction with a view of safety,
economy and permanency. Engineers
are employed, and they lay out the
roads and Build them with as mich
care as do the railroads, especially
the road leading from Dallas to Fort
Worth, from Dallas to Denison and
from Dallas 70 Galveston. The i'm
provement going on in and around
Dallas will have to be seen to be ap-
preciated. No words can express the
wonderful work that is going on. The
city hall will soon be completed,
which is more modern, better equipped
and better in every way than many
state capitals he has visited in years.
The people of Dallas greatly re-
joice to hear of the small grain crop,
our great potato crop, and our corn
and cotton crop. They expect many
Oklahomans to visit Dallas, espec-
tally during the fair, where they will
be one continual round of pleasure,
as we'll as information, and the re-
unions of old friends will be held al
most every day during the fair.
Politics in that state are just about
as alive and interesting as they are
in Oklahoma, and no doubt will con-
tinue at white heat until the primary
is over You can see politicians from
all over the state in Dallas, where
they meet, mix, ningle and discuss
men and measures.

GREAT PICNIC
At R|NCL|NC
NEW TOWN WILL CELEBRATE JU-
LY "a AND EX-SENATOR GORE
AND OTHERS COMING.

Col Jake Hamon, the guiding genius
of the Ringing interests in this To-
cality, has decided that the new town
of Ringing must celebrate its advent
on the map by giving big picnic to
all who desire to come and partake
of the hospitality of its people, and
with that object in view has adver-
tised that there will be big two days
picnic beginning Friday July "a, and
ending Saturday night, July 25.
Several speakers of prominence have
been invited to attend this big gath
ering, among them Senator Thomas
p. Gore, who has announced his in
tention of being there and addressing
the people upon the issues of the
campaign, which is of vital interest
at this time. Senator Gore is to be
in Ardmore the 23d, and with the
Ringing date added, the citizens of
this section of the state will have a
good opportunity of hearing the blind
statesman discuss his side of the pre-
vailing question.
Col. Jake Hamon never does things
by halves as the press gang of the
state can testify, and the opportunity
of giving the natives adjacent to the
thriving. new town at the present ter
minus of the Ringing railroad is not
going to be passed up by the genial
Jacob at this time. >There will be
something doing all the time, and all
who attend are assured of a good
time.

ORGANIZE CROW HUNTS.
Farmers Find Bird Pests Troublesome
In Digging Up Planted Seed.

Oklahoma City, July 12.-AlOng
about planting time each year the
farmers in Northern Oklahoma are
bothered by great docks of crows
that dig out the seed and make re-
planting necessary. The past season
these birds were particularly active,
and big crow hunts were organized in
several sections.
AS a result of the crow nuisance
the people of some of the counties
are insisting that the legislature pass
a law permitting the county commits
sioners to pay bounties out of the
funds of the several counties for
scalps of crows. Craig county is plan
ming to insist upon such law The
member of the legislature from that
county will be pledged to introduce
and support the law.

WILSON To Be
INCORPORATED
RAPIDLY GROWING CITY TO THE
WEST OF US WANTS TO BE A
REAL CiTY.-ELECTION JULY H..

Next Friday, July II, an election
will be held at New Wilson to de-
eide whether the town will be in
corporated at this time or not.
Wilson Is less than one year old,
and in that time has been a very
active live wire among the Oklahoma
towns, and the building has been very
active. Bonds were recently voted
for a ten thousand dollar school house
that the county superintendent says
is going to be the banner rural dis
trict of the county.
There is some question whether the
town will be incorporated at this time
as the sentiment is divided; some
want to do so and yet there is a
sentiment against taking the step at
this time.
Wilson has a live commercial club
that recently raised about one thou
sand dollars to construct "a passable
highway between Wilson and White
City in the heart of the oil field The
work is being done under the super
vision of James r. Taliaferro, coun-
ty commissioner
Notwithstanding the decreased ac-
tivity in the oil fields caused by the
controversy going on over the pipe
line question the business both at Will
son and at White City has been very
good and those who invested their
money at these places have no cause
to complain over conditions.

WHEAT NOT so GOOD.

J. S. Alverson Of Glenn and +. F.
Riser of Woodford were here Sat
urday. These men are wheat and corn
farmers in one of the best sections
of the county. Mir. Alverson has
thrashed one 100-acre wheat field 1t
made 19 bushels to the acre and some
of the wheat there is making 20
bushels and little better. The crop
last year made 26 bushels. Rains
while the wheat was in bloom was
the cause for the smaller yield this
year. DR.. Dow Taylor's crop has been
thrashed and it made 271a bushels
to the acre. L. f. Riser's crop is
making from 10 to 20 bushels to the
acre, and his crop last year made 81
bushels. Mr.. Riser's crop Of oats is
the best that has been thrashed up
to date this year
Mr. Alverson says his own corn is
doing nicely, and is still holding up
well, but there are parts of the crop
in the county that is doing poorly, on
account of the dry weather. He is
of the opinion that the general yield
of the county will not go beyond 10
to II bushels to the acre.

# YOU
WANT TO VOTE
ONLY A FEW MORE DAYS Left
WILL BE BARRED FOR TWO
YEARS.

Only a few more days are left in
which to register, and yet but a small
portion of the voting population of
the city has had their names enrolled,
which will entitle them to vote for
the next two years.
The polling places, the places of
registration, and the names of the in
spectors, have been published repeat
edly, and yet the inspectors, who
have the enrolling books, state that
there is a lack of interest that is
appalling The inspectors are doing
ali in their power to get the people
registered, but the compensation al
lowed by law is insufficient for man
'[r we his business and hunt the
" ret them to register.
Many aces have adopted the plan
of having a central place of registra-
ton, and it has been suggested that
the plan would be good one to adopt
here. Many voters do not know the
names of the inspectors, or where
they can be found, and often times
when they go to register, the in
spector is away from his place of
business, and 50 this is another factor
that has to do with the light registra-
ton up to date.
With central place in the city for
registration it is claimed that prac-
tically every qualified voter in the
city would be enrolled before the time
expires, but under present conditions
there is going to be many left out,
unless more interest is displayed in
future than has been in the past.

REPORT OF INTERSTATE COM
MERGE COMMISSION GIVEN TO
THE SENATE TODAY.
It IS MOST DRASTIC
Report Charges Directors of the Rail-
road of Criminal Negligence, and
Says Mismanasemen Cost Road
Nearly Ninety Million Dollars.

Washington, d. c., July 13.-"One OF
the most glaring instances of mal-ad-
ministration revealed in all the history
of American railroading" is the in
characterization of its findings in the
investigation of the New Haven rail
road reported to the senate today.
The report is probably the most
drastic the commission has ever
made. 1t charges the New Haven di-
rectors with being "criminally negli-
gent" and says the mismanagement
cost the road between sixty and
ninety million dollars, for which the
directors should be individually liza
BILE in civil and criminal courts.
The report condemns the Boston
and Maine despoilment,' the West
chester deal, extravagant trolley pur-
chases and the spending of great
sums for influencing public senti-
ment
The report announces that evidence
of violation of the laws has been
transmitted to the district attorneys
in Massachusetts,, Rhode Island and
New York, and to the federal de-
partment of justice.
1t scores the domination by Morgan
over the New Haven, ridicules the
lack of business acumen shown by
the eminent financiers" in running
the railroad, charges attempts to sub
sidize newspaper reporters, and the
"profigate" issue of passes to legis-
lators.

EXPERTS WORK ON "AMERlCA."
Consult to Devise Means of Perfect
ing Transatlantic Flyer.

Hammondsport, N. Yy July 12.-
Glenn H. Curtis, Lieut.. Porte, DR.. A.
F. Zahm, Elmer Sperry and Irwin
Chase, designer of racing hydro
planes, were in earnest consultation
tonight on new systems for getting
the desired results from the hull of
the Rodman Wanamaker trans-At-
lantic flying boat.
A short flight this morning salts
fed all concerned that the heavy pom
toons were more of a failure than
auxiliary fins had been. Further
changes to Americas hull are to be
made at once and the trials continued
at top speed.
The drift recording instruments
constructed by Mr.. Sperry for the
America were tested by him today, in
a hydro-aeroplane trip with Lieut..
Towers.
Captain Creagh Osborne, a British
admiralty expert, declared today that
there is less local attraction in Amer
lea to disturb the accuracy of the
compasses carried than in any other
boat he ever saw.

a band as ever slit a throat to turn an
honest penny. 1t numbered 80. Nit
sui had three ieutenants -Deguchi,
Koyama and Nakashima-whom he
used but did not trust.
He had also a bedyguard of two.
One was Mikagawa, mill hand, and
the other was Yamoto.
Now, Yamoto was not like the 9TH
ers. He is a woodsman, living alone
in cabin in the forest, with only his
gun and dog for company. A sullen,
savage fellow, rumor has it that he
is a miser and has much gold cached
in the woods.
Mitsui trusted Mikagawa and va
motto as he trusted no one else. He
ruled by fear.
Trouble began when Koyama smil-
ed on Okane Puri. And Okane Puri
smiled back, thinking no evil. Mitsui
saw, but made no sign.
HOP thought Koyama. "Mitsui is
a coward after all.
"Nakashima, a backward lover,
seeing that the lightning did not
smite Koyama, plucked up courage.
And he, too, smiled on Okane Puri.
Still Mitsui saw and made no sign.
Whereupon Deguchi, dull of wit but
of great courage, encircled with his
arm the waist Of Okane Puri before
all the band, before Mitsui himself.
But Okane sprang away from him
laughing.
Even then Mitsui made no sign.
But one night-it was in Novem-
Der, last year-a party was arranged
in the cabin of Yamoto, the woods
man. Deguchi was there. They gam
Oled and quarreled, and Yamoto shot
