The outstanding feature of the de-
partmeuts report was the announce
ment that the total number of deaths
had decreased about 10 per cent from
the number Of 1915 This is only
brought out by the fact that Tulsa
has increased its population rapidly

list has been held down Is per cent.
The grim rcaper's harvest for 1915
was only 4SO, this being so less than
the 1914 total. This decrease is a
result rarely obtained in a growing
city. and it is largely accountable to

BIGGER ENROLMENT


The Tulsa public school system
closed an oyenttul year Yesterday aud
has slIll more important one ahead
OF IT, Nineteen fifteen was one of
the most successful Tulsa schools
have ever known. considering every
point Of view, and this year promises
TO hC just AS eNeuttul.
The most important item Is the
great augmuutution the quarters have
undergone as there probably has not
been q year in which SO many new
school buildings have been erected.
Taking the total efforts Of the year,
lt is found that a majority of the
dings have had additions of from
two To ten rooms to them.
Although these building activities
made an increase i'm the capacity, the
schools are again becoming crowded
and it viii not be long before con
gostiOn will again become apparent
Eighteen portable buildings such as
were used before the late construction
of units are now all i'm use and are
housing regular classes daily.

little doubt but that by the end of

ucccssitatcd by the large amount re-

The school enrolment at the end Of
1915 was G,42O as compared with
$3.50 in the corresponding period in
1914. This shows an increase In en-
rollmCnt of . per cent for last year
There are now 2l2 teachers and sub
stitutes in the COlored and white
schools while last year there were
l7O. This increase is due to the ad-
dition of many new departments.
Fully $50 additional pupils are expect
ed at the beginning of next semester,
January 81.
There is not school i'm the state

First Half of 1915 Bad for
Local Offices; Got
Better Though.
MANY IMPROVEMENTS
The Passenger Traffic and
Freight Shipment IN
creasing Daily.

Since the railroad business is a
mere reflection of the general condi-
tions of thct community in which it
operates, the activities Of the local
offices was divided into two distinct
periods, during 1878 During the first
half Of the twclycmonth the bottom
dropped out Of the railroad earnings,
simultaneously with the same action
ON the part Of oil quotations.
Up to the first raise in oil all in
dications pointed to one of the most
disastrous records in all local shipping
history, and the monthly reports
showed ghastly statistics, The oil
with all its acCOutremonts was out
of the running and the general condi-
tion about Tulsa reduced the shipping
I'm all channels.
Just as the railroads were becom-
ing infected with gloom the first up
ward movement in the oil market
came. and business began to pick up.
With the unprecedented advance
WhiCh came during the last part OF
the year the railroads developed i'm
leaps and bounds Although the cor
responding period in 1914 was by no
means slow, the 1915 business left it
for behind
Might Beat 1914.
At the end Of the year local officials
We're Of the opinion that the total
business of the whole year would
equal that of 1914 and might eclipse
it, No yearly reports are made, or
at least are not given out, but the
agents have good idea of the

CAPTURED DEER

TRENTON PEOPLE COMPLAIN TO
GOVERNOR SAYING D E E r
SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TAX
EN- UP - WILLISTON WANTS
MINOT TO HAVE NONE.

1t is possible that the deer recently
caught on the ice of the Missouri near
Williston may be turned loose. When
Chief Game Warden McCutcheon of
this city received word that there were
numerous deer on an island in the
Missouri, and they would perish unless
taken to shore, he hurried there with
his assistants, ran the deer onto the
ice and roped them Four of them
died later, but the others were to have
been placed in the parks at Williston
and Minot.
It is entirely possible that the deer
will be turned loose. Governor L. B,
Hanna has received numerous COM
plants from Trenton, claiming that
the deer would not have perished and
they urge that the deer be given their
freedom.
Willistonites objected strenuously
to the game warden's sending any OF
the deer to Minot. One prominent cit
izen threatened to tear down the cor
raj and turn them all loose before he
would see Minot get any of them fo1
our parks.

OLD ESTABLISHED TAILORING
AND CLEANING COMPANY
GUARANTEE SATISFACTION

In this issue the Halsey Tailoring
Company, who have the most modern
cleaning plant in the western part of
the state, are offering the out-of-town
trade a most liberal proposition to
send them their dry cleaning by par
cells post with the guarantee that the
work will be satisfactory or there will
be no charge.
Mr.. C. L. Crandall, their new man.
ager, says that he believes the men
and women of the rural districts are
discarding valuable clothing because
they do not realize that by the new
cleaning process it's appearance can
be made almost as good as new. In
proof of his ability to please, he Of
fers to clean and repair any articles
sent them during the month of April
together, with the coupon which &C
companies their advertisement in this
issue. and to return them by parcels
post prepaid, with the understanding
that they are not to pay anything for
TIC work until after they haze had an
opportunity to examine it. If his pat
r0ns are not entirely sati ;fed. Mr.
Cral dali merely asks that they write
him or the Halsey Tailoring Company
letter explaining why.
The Halsey Tailoring Company have
been in business in Minot for the past
ten years and their remarkable sue
cess in the Dry Cleaning and Tailoring
business, as evidenced by their present
large patronage, recommends them to
the public.

HAVE WONDERFUL
ENAMELING PLANT.
Dodge Brothers Develop Special
+ Equipment that Marks Big
. Advance.


The remarkable finish of the all
steel bodies of Dodge Brothers motor
cars is always the subject of admira-
tion where motor enthusiasts gather
for comparisons, and this has led to
many conjectures as to how the fin
ish is applied.
The department in which the bodies
are enameled in the plant Of Dodge
Brothers at Detroit was developed
within the plant and a portion of the
process is secret.
The steel bodies are carefully pre-
pared for the reception of the enamel,
which is applied in manner develop
ed in the plant, and are then conveyed
through a battery of ovens approx
materly 1000 feet long, by double
chain system.
When they emerge, the enamel has
been baked on and has the high lustre
that has attracted so much attention.
The entire installation cost more
than $150,000 and many parts of it
are exclusively Dodge Brothers. The
heat is automatically controlled by
electricity and the temperature is
maintained evenly within five degrees.
The heat loss is but four per cent, SO
carefully has insulation been worked
out.
The ovens have a capacity of 1,50O
completely enameled bodies every "a
hours.

IMPROVEMENTS
STARTS LARGE ADDITION TO
FREIGHT HOUSE-WILL RE-
BUILD COAL SHEDS AND BUILD
ADDITIONAL TRACKS.

The Great Northern Railway Co.
will soon start the construction Of a
3OO-foot addition to it's freight depot
located at the foot of Main street. The
business of the company has become
so large that more room is necessary.
When the freight depot was construct
ed several years ago, it was believed
that the building would serve it's pur-
pose for at least Is years, but the city
is growing at such rapid rate, that
larger quarters must be prepared i'm
mediately.
The company will soon tear down
the old coal sheds, east of the freight
depot, and construct them on another
site. A mile of additional trackage
will be built in the yards and it is
said the main track will be run north
of the roundhouse. The Great North
ern is planning on spending tens of
thousands of dollars on improvements
in the city this year.
