ROOM FOR GREATER
WATER POWER DEVELOPMENT

Oklahoma city. May 4.Rrhe Daily
Oklahoman. in an editorial on April "a
called attention TO the great need of
wider development OF water power re-
sources of Oklahoma citing official
figures given publicity by the Okla
homa bureau of public utility informa-
ton, showing that this state stands
thirty-ninth in the list of states pro
ducing electricity from hydro electric
plants. After quoting the figures that
oklahoma. in January. 1921. produced
only 10000 klowatt hours Of electr.-
city from water power plants as
against an output of 2534l2000 kilo-
watt hours by California during that
month. the Oklahoman comments:
I'm view of the statement of experts
that there are sites available for water
power plants in Oklahoma. one is led
to wonder why more attention has not
been paid to that avenue of develop
ment"
The Oklahoman reproduces the figur-
ese from the geological survey showing
that The public utilities of the country
registered an increase efficiency in fuel
consumption of > per cent in 1920. a
saving of about 1000. 900 tons of coal
in the production of electricity that
year over 1919. and then continues:
Much work has been done in Okla
homa toward a conservation Of oil and
gas. but comparatively little attention
has been paid To the saving of coal.
Perhaps the estimate of engineers that,
at the present rate OF consumption
this state is assured of supply for
the next 1000 years, has had some
thing to do with the wasteful methods
employed both in the mining and dis
tribution Of that commodity.
"It is becoming apparent, howeVr
that steps must be taken to prevent
such waste. One method for that is
pointed out by eminent engineers OF
the country. who are calling attention
to the tremendous waste in hauling
coal over railroads and handling it in
factories and homes; they predict the
day will come when coal will be burned
at the mines, running giant power
plants that will put the country on an
electrical instead Of steam basis An

PITTSBURG COUNTY
RAILWAY IMPROVEMENTS

McAlester May 3.-The Pittsburg
County Railway Company expects. by
the middle of May to have in opera
ton two new light weight, all steel
interurban cars which have just been
shipped from the factory These cars
are equipped with four 25.horse power
motors and weigh but % 900 pounds
each according to j. c. Chestnut. gen
eral manager, of the company. The
old cars of the company are equipped
with 50-horse power motors and weigh
about 50 900 pounds each. Mr.. Ches'
nut says that the new cars will be
the last work in modern design and
will cost about $4,000 each.
The Pittsburg Railway Company has
been operating safety cars entirely in
the city of McAlester for the last two
years. BY substituting these for the
double-truck two-man ears, the COM
pany has reduced ~ running schedule
from half hour to fifteen and twelve
minutes on it's city lines and after
May /. Mr. Chestnut says. the oper-
ating schedule for the North McAles
ter ears will be ten minutes.

Opinions indicate that the decline in

been caused by and is reflection OF

ican women. Women and children are served first, and then the men. and if any food left after all have been served some may get second helping. But none go hungry All who need it may get one meal day al the kitchens.
 The meal that is served is well balanced diet. and contains sufficient calories to sustain person 24 hours At the same time it is not the idea of the benefit association to support the people. They are expected to rustic" for themselves all that they can. but none shall starve.
 The ration consists of meat, beans, corn, dried peas. rice. potatoes and similar foods. and in addition 40 grams of bread to each person. These, of course, are not all served at once, but are combined in variety of ways, generally in the form of nOurishing soup and stews. One whole beef is used each day in the kitchens.
 One of the kitchens is feeding be- tween $50 and $50 people a day. and the other between 650 and 750 a day. Last month 14,954 meals were served in Ronquillo, at an average cost of 31z cents a meal, and 9,434 at Buena Vista, at an average cost of ASS cents a meal.
 The MeNiCans are proud people even in diversity, and there was some difficulty in first getting them to come to the kitchens. but necessity prevailed Sore went hungry as lCnS aS Th,-y cOulri stand il, and then cam. to the kitchens and were fed The necessity for the project was a real one. When the mines at Cananea clos ed much of the male population left for other parts of Mexico, but most of these came back. They said they would rather starve at Cananea than in some other part of Mexico. Then the women and children that were left had no means of support. The Peo- pie of Cananea" rose to the emer- gency.
 But the people of Cananea are la boring under another difficulty that bids fair to swamp them. This is that many Mexicans who have been work ing in the mining camps of Arizona and the cotton fields of the Salt River valley, and who have been thrown out of work because cotton is not being picked and copper is not being mined. are going down into Cananea to get something to eat at the kitchens. The people of Cananea point out that al- though it is true that these people are Mexicans, yet they have formed a nec- essary part of the communities from which they come, and they feel that the people of those communities should take the matter in hand in a small way as they have done in large way, and should provide for their immedi- ate necessities.
 However, if the problem does not get too large, the people of Cananea will manage. The Asociacion Local de Beneficencias has an assured in come that will take care of all pres ent needs. The people who are put ting up the money are doing so with the understanding that it will prob ably be necessary to continue for year. The people of Cananea will continue to do their part if it takes ten times that long,

MISSISSIPPI SLUCCERS ARE HELPLESS
BEFORE CURVES OF GRAND OLD MAN
Locals Take Second Game of the
Series From Jackson by
Score of 2 to O.

The locals took the second game
from the leaguers from jackson yes
terday by a 20 score. The game
was beyond a doubt one OF the best
played here this year and showed the
fans about how good Jack Ryan really
, is and the difference between a big
Lacquer and a class D team. Jack
sent sixteen of the hard hitting slug
gers back to the bench who the day
before look like veterans Of the big
show against Hartman but against the
Old Master were as meek as a lamb
going to the slaughter for they gar
nered only two hits off his delivery.
But on the other hand Goldsmith who
was hurting for Jackson was hit for
nine safeties by the locals which
coupled with errors brought in two
runs and these two determined the
score for the day.
Jack pitched superb bah all the way
through and was never in any real
danger he did not pick his men to
strilSe-out either for he sent the home
run hitters back with the rest of the
bunch. In the seventh McDermott
was hit by Jack but Clayton, Ericsson
and Tolbert, the heaviest hitters on
the team went out via the k.o. in
order and in the ninth Foreman who
hit for two homers the day before
went in to pinch hit for Ericsson and
Jack struck him out for the last out
of the game.
Pensacola scored her first run IN
the fifth, Turnbull opened up by fly
ing out to center, Jack made his sec
ond hit of the game-Gaines was per-
mitted to run for Ryan-Harry Scar
rift doubled to right center and Ham
raced for third and came right on
home when ColIenberger let the throw
from right get away from him. Harry
was caught at third. The second
marker came over in the seventh
Turnbuu was safe when Kircher threw
low to first and took second on the
low pitch; Ryan then made his third
hit of the game, a hot single over
first the ball bouncing high over
Kanes head and TurnbulI came home
Co1lenberger made a nice stop of a
hard hit grounder off Harry Scarritt's
bat, the big second sacker going over
toward first and threw Ryan out at
second on the play, Kircher and Bob
Ellis also knocked down line drives
that probably would have been dou-
bIes.
Kircher, the comedian, gave the fans
a laugh when he went down off first
to coach and went through several OF
his comical acts; he is a real comedian
