a builder oi railroads and three of the lines extending from Mus kogee testify to his work. With the opening of these lines tide of immigration swept into Indian Territory.
 After the constitutional conven- tion in which Haskell figured he was elected first governor of the new state of Oklahoma in 1907 and served four years.
 Borrows Money
 Leaving the statehouse in 1912, he borrowed money for vacation. Later he became personal attorney for Harry Sinclair and in this connection received his first con tact with oil development. Within a few years he was in New York, known in Wall Street as head of oil interests valued at $70,000000. For months he headed the Mid de States Petroleum Company. In 1920 the company was placed in receivership and Haskell was hal ed into court in connection with oil fraud charges that did not de- velop.
 Mere Bad Luck
 With the main company on the downward path he turned his attention toward subsidiaries, be- coming heavy operator on the curb in Southern States Oil. The trading eventually was suspended in that issue, and the concern was taken over by the Middle States company.
 In September, 1924, Pembroke, his palatial estate at Glen Cove, L. I. went for $5o9,ooo at fore ed sale.
 With his fortune nearly gone the former Governor went to Fort Worth, Tex, in 1927 and dealt in oil. During the previous year he constructed a toll road between Tampico and Matamoras, Mexico. In the meantime he purchased an interest in oil and as wells near Muskogee, his old home, and in 1928 he organized a gas distribu- ton system to supply a number of towns in Eastern Oklahoma.
 Reared on Farm
 Haskell was born in Putnam County, Ohio. March 13, 1880. Reared on a farm. he gained his education in rural schools, later teaching and studying law. On Oc- tober II, 1881, he married Miss Lucy Pomeroy; she died in March, 1888, and in September of the next year he married Miss Lille Gal lup. stss t
 He had been admitted to the bar in 1880 and practiced law in Ottawa, Ohio. There he got his first taste of railroad building, promoting and constructing the Finley, Fort Wayne and Western Railway, in 1888.

A. P. KASHEVAROFF
 MAKES TRIP TO SITKA WITH TOUR

At the urgent request of the members of the Los Angeles Cham Der of Commerce, the Rev. A. P. Kasheyaroff made the trip to Sitka on the steamer Aleutian, leaving here Monday afternoon at o'clock.
 On Monday evening, aboard the steamer, the Rev. Kashevaroff gave a lecture on the historical phases of Sitka, explaining in detail what the tour would see in the old Russian capital.
 At o'clock Tuesday morning, when the steamer docked in the town, Father Kashevaroff took a group of the tour party to the Russian cemetery, visiting the grave of Princess Maksoutoff, the first wife of Prince Maksoutoff, the last Russian Governor of Alaska. After breakfast, the whole party of 36 members accompanied Father Kashevaroff to the Russian Church where he explained the different objects and showed the most beau- tiful paintings and embroideries to the southern party.
 Following the trip to the church, the group went to the Park where Father Kashevaroff again explained in detail the various points of in- terest, and later to the Sheldon Jackson Museum before the steam CT left at noon. Members of the tour were extremely appreciative and said their trip to Sitka was made vastly more interesting with Father Kashevaroff in the party.
 After the departure of the Aleu- tian, Father Kashevaroff hired a gasboat to take him to Herring Bay, about five miles from Sitka, where he spent several hours with his son-in-law and daughter, MT. and Mrs. Jack Calvin and their infant daughter. By previous ar rangement, the seaplane Baranof stopped at Herring Bay to pick up Father Kashevaroff on it's regular trip from Sitka and returned with him to Juneau.
 It was the first airplane trip Father Kashevaroff had made and was greatly impressed with the speed of that form of travel.
 The people from Los Angeles were much impressed with their trip to Alaska and nearly all ex- pressed their, intention to make another trip at some time in the future" Father Kashevaroff said.

 The third major credit provision is $120,000,000 revolving fund au- thorized by the farm credit act of 1893 for the federal purchase of capital stock in production credit associations and corporations.
 The associations, one to each federal land bank district, provide loans to individual farmers for crop and livestock production, and the corporations or banks similarly dis tributed substitute for the disman- tied farm board in financing CO., operative marketing agencies.
 Pr0cesser To Pay Tax
 Simultaneously the agricultural djustment administration moves to lift the surplus pressure from wheat, cotton, corn, hogs, tobacco, milk and milk products.
 The act provides that compen- sation to farmers for reducing acreage or production be financed out of processors' tax on the domsstically consumed portion of the commodity served.
 In addition, the processors' tax may be used to pay producers the difference between the open market price of a commodity and the price at which it would have to sell to restore it's pre-war purchas- ing power.

 After a few spectacular years in Wall Street Haskell returned to Oklahoma in 1929 as head of the Municipal Gas Company at Mus kogee; later he became president of the Sapula Gas Company.

 WASHINGTON, July 6. Re- mobilization of agriculture is rated social as well as an economic job in the program for new nation al economy.
 Advocates of the program which Congress has approved for the farmer see it translating higher prices for farm commodities into weapon against debt, lost pur- chasing power and wasteful pro duction.
 Production Cut Planned
 In effect, congress says to the farmer:
 The government will help you to keep your home and your busi- ness and even up commodity and dollar values, but you must reduce your production to a profitable re- lation with consumption so you can purchase the. products and services by which the rest of the population makes a living"
