Trial of the Oklahoma 2-cent pas
senger fare case will be resumed IN
the fedora, court in Oklahoma City on
July ~, according to a telegram re-
ceived by Attorney General Freezing
from Judge F. A. Youmans of Little
Rock. Resumption of the trial had
been previously announced Tor June
IA, but Judge Youmans must hold
court in Arkansas beginning on that
date and he could not come to Okla

eral Freezing that he would be through
with court in Arkansas in time to come
to Oklahoma and resume the case
here July ~.
In the meantime the attorney gen.
eral and the corporation commission,
working Jointly for the states inter
ests, have about completed much pre-
liminary work necessary to place the
states side of the case before the
court. There is yet much to be done,
and Attorney General Freezing and
Corporation Commission Henshaw
will spend several days in st. Louis
before the date for the case to come
up, going over with expert data that
has been gathered for the state.
At the previous sitting of the court,
all the railroads, except the Katy and
Rock Island, finished Their testimony
and proof on behalf Of the railroads.
1t is possible that these Two roads
will require at least two days in
which to PUT on their testimony, and
the state will be ready to cross-eXam-
inc as to the evidence and proof pre-
ented by the railroads. Judge j. M
Hill of Little Rock will continue to
assist attorneys for the state.
On completion of the testimony OF
the Katy and Rock Island the state
will probably begin its side of the case
Attorney General Freezing says that
representatives from his office and
from the corporation commission, be
sides experts who have been employed
have been working faithfully in secur
ing statistics and all information thai
might bear on the proposition, ant
that when the case lis taken up again
it will be finished. He firmly believes
that the state will win, because the
states side is a just one, and the evi
dence to be presented to the court will
be convincing Charles A. Ludlam
the New York accountant, employed
by the state, will be here again. His
testimony will be of great Importance
on behalf of the state.
Attorney Freezing is of the opinion
that 1t will require three weeks to fin
ish the case, although it may be Longer
than that. There are a great many
things to be presented by the state
and it is the intention to make it a!
thorough as is possible.

Letter from Sam Rogers

Editor Star Herald:
If you will allow me space in
your paper, | will tell something
about this country. ! am located
nine miles north Of Bristow on Dog
Creek. The bottom land produces
good corn o. cotton, but the hill
land has been a failure every since
| have been 10 this country. We
made a good crop OF cotton IN the
bottoms last year, but corn was a
failure. But We made lots of kadir
corn and ieterita and hay. The
only thing the hill land made last
year was feterita.
Butter, eggs and chickens are al
ways a good price here as we are
only eight miles from the Tiger OIL
fields. Drum Wright is the Princi'
pal oil town that has sprung up in
the last two years. II has an inhab'
ltance of 5000 people. They are
piping oil from Drum-Wright to
Brlstow where they have Is large
steel tanks. They have capacity
tor holding $50, 900 barrels each.
There is also 4 refinery at Bns'
tow producing 1000 barrels per
day, but for some cause the oil from
this refinery is not giving satisfae-
tion. Horses and mules are not
very high, but cattle is a good price.
Corn is s5c per bushel, hay (prairie)
tl2 per ton.
We have had lots of rain here
this winter. Farmers are badly be.
hind with their blowing. No corn
land turned yet, but some oats have
been sown.
The farmers are cutting down
their cotton crops to about half
what they were last year. Good
cotton averaged So per hundred on
the Bristow market. After the
fourth was paid the farmer had
$3.50 and the picking was 75c per
hundred. Bat we are quitting cot.
ton to some extent in Greek county.

Dear SIR
II you will allow me space in
your paper I'll try and write few
lines. | left home on the 22nd Of
March 1914 for Mickey, Texas,
landing there three days later.
While there was at the beautiful
home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. S. McLain,
formerly of Randolph Co.. and
pioneers Of the plains. While
there | enjoyed myself immensely
because of the good treatment
which | received while there. That
is the finest country that my eyes
ever beheld in all my life. Only
one bad feature about that country
is the small amount of rainfall,
however it seems as if they had
more rainfall there last year than
they had in other places where rain.
fall is generally abundant. In June
/ left there for Higgins, Texas,
where | met several OF the Randolph
folks. l left there and went to
Canadian, Texas, a pretty little
town situated on the bank of the
Canadian river. ] stayed there un.
til about Dec. 2Sth and then left
there for Shawnee, Okla. While
there / met several Randolph folks
too numerous to mention. | came
from there to Little, only a few
miles from there. And here also
met lots Of old acquaintances but
I'll not try to mention any except
my esteemed friends, j. II. DAVIS

as well as could DC expected under

I have been they have talked hard

close every where.
