OCTOBER SETS A RECORD
Rogers County Visited bv Most Cold,
DroutIi and Frost in 26 Years.

Special to The World
CLAREMORE. Okla, Nov. 6.-The
weather for the month of october IN
Rogers county was the most remark
able on record. 1t was the coolest
dryest and most frosty October of a
26 years record of which the average
rainfall for those years was 2.6S
inches. In only two years Of the 26,
was the October rainfall below one
inch. In 1898 1t was is of an inch
and in 1904 il was SO of an inch. The
highest record was 5.23 inches in
1892 and 5.12 inches in 1908.
In the month of October. Just pass
ed, in Rogers county there were three
very heavy killing frosts namely on
the ninth. twelfth and twenty-flrst.
There were also five lighter frosts.
Last year in October the only killing
frost was on the twenty-first, with two
lighter, one on the twentieth and one
on the twenty-sixth. Two years ago
there were no killing frosts in October
with only three light frosts, namely
on the fifth, sixth and twenty sixth.
The farmers OF the county are fin
shing up ther wheat drilling. Early
seeding came up well but for want of
moisture It can not grow much.
Neither can the later sowing come mp

40 per cent more wheat is planted this

planting, dry weather and early killing
frosts some fields will not pay for the

The planting OF grain sorghums in
this county was limited last spring.
More attention was given TO the
planting of corn. After the drouth
considerable planting of these forage
crops was done but all was damaged
by the early frost.
The pecan crop In Rogers county
this year is not as large as it was two
years ago. The earlier ripened nuts

MAY STOP JITNEYS ON
SECOND NEAR SCHOOL
Lives of Children are En-
dangered When Cars
Travel Too Fast

The mayor and board of city COM
missloners are not in favor Of endan-
gering the lives of school children by
permitting jitney operators to operate
at break neck speed along streets ad-
jacent to school buildings.
In n formal petition presented to
the board of city commissioners yes
terday by representatives of the school
board, the real danger which con-
fronts the school children OF the city
was set forth. and the board was re-
quested to refuse any jitncy license
applications which may be made for
the operation of jijtney lines on Sec
ond, adjacent to the Washington
cchool.
"The lives of the children of Wash
ington school. as well as those OF
other public schools are endangered
by the operation of jitney lines de .
clared A. NJ. Welch. member OF TIE
board of education. in presenting tho
petition from the school board to the
city commissioners.
"Only this morning we have the toll
of such jitney operation to he found
In the death of a lad who fell from one
of these jitney automobiles. With a
street car operating on one side of the
Washington school we feel that
enough hazard is placed about the
children who are forced to go to and
from school. and therefore we pray
that no iitneys be permitted to operate
on Second.
The remarks of Mr.. Welch found
ready response to Commissioner No
ble of tho street department, who In
formed the commissioners that I'm
many instances the cars were operated
by boys who knew little or nothing
OF operating automobiles and who
threw regard for the law to the four
winds when driving in the residential
ns well as the business section OF the
city. The East Side Improvement as
sociation also had representatives be-
fore the commissioners. supporting the
board of education in the request that
,itneys be prohibited from operating
on Second
That the same condition confronts
the. officials Of other schools was evil
dent from the statement of Mr.. Welch,
who declared that the school author!-
ties had considered asking the city
commissioners to prohibit the operat-
Ing of iitneys on the streets adjacent
to Horace Mann school. The same
condition relative to the danger pre-
scented for school children exists there,
he declared.

Chairman. II. +. Scivally of tho ap-

Rogers wired the local board to place
