Mr. Cliff, snys the tlo-up on the roada In his country Is worse than ho has ever known It to be. lie states that more than half the applo crop rnlaed in Missouri this year will have been wasted lieoaune of the in ability to secure cars for shipment. This Is tho prlncll article raised In that country, (heat apple combina tions exist for handling the ciop and thousands of bushels of apples are shipped out of his neighborhood alone. This year there has been a shortness of cars which lias made It Impossible for the apple growers to market their products. Mr. Cllft says there Is at present waiting fur ears to haul them, hund reds of cars of apples, wasting and being destroyed. Tho ralo has also been exorbitant. As an Instance of tho rate charged from Aurora to Chlcknsha on a cur of apples, Mr. Cllft snys ho paid $113. A Rrocer in his town shipped a car of flour from Chlcknsha to Aurora, Mo., for $30.

When asked what caused the exor bitant ralo to tho southwest and tho shortness of cars over tho country, Mr. Cllft replied that he was unable to say, as he had only his personal i opinion on the matter. However, ho thinks It Is not on account or ove productlon or n great prosperity, but a combination between tho big pio iluccra and cold storage men and the rnllioads. which crowds tho Independ ent producer out. Mr. Cllft says when ho loaded his enr of npplos which ho shipped to Ardmore, there wero llfty other men wanting the same car In his little town. lie stated that the only way ho got It was to be thoro and load one end of the cur with apples while tho other end was being unloaded of the produce It had brought In.

James T. Hums, wlivj acted' as elec tion commissioner In this, tho 103 constitutional district, at tho recent delegate election, has received tho following letter from Tama rtlxby, chairman of tho districting and can vassing board In the Indian Territo ry, In reply to nn Inquiry concerning tho amount the clerks and JtidgoB lit tho election were to lecolvo for their sorvlcos. Mr. Hums' Inquiry was oc casioned by tho dissatisfaction of a. number of Judges and clerks In this district nt tho meager pay they re ceived for tho work November 6. The Impresslnn has been created In this dlstrlt that onch clerk and Judge was to recelvo three dollars per day for his services during tho elec tion. As nil clerks and Judgea worked sixteen hours oir election day, tho opinion was formed that they would recelvo pay for two days work, as un der the Oklahomn law eight hours Is a working day. When tho checks ns payment for tho work wero received by tho forty-five election Judgos and clerks in this district they wero ' r $2 as payment for their scrvlcok sixteen hours work. Tho matter was brought to tho at tention of Mr. Hums, who communi cated with the board and received tho following letter In reply: "Muskogee, I. T., Jan. 7. "Hccelpt Is hereby acknowledged of your letter of January 2, 1807, respect ing compensation allowed Judges and clerks of olectlon for their services on November C, 1808. "In reply vour attention Is Invited to Section 2, Chapter 2H, Session Laws of Oklahoma, 1S85, wMch rends, In part, as follows: " ' tho Judges nml clorks ot election shall receive two dollars nor day.' "Prior to tho election It was tho un derstanding of the districting and canvassing noard that these officials In Indian Terrltmy would receive ns compensation, the sum of $3.00, and tho payrolls were certified on this lia sls by the election commissioners. "Tho matter was submitted by tho special disbursing agent of tho depart ment, nml It was held that tho provi sions of tho Oklahoma law nbovo quot ed wero in force and that thoso offi cials Bhould bo paid in accordanco with tho same. pt urlwo p v $ e sodla tir shr mhl "The compensation nllowcd tho Judges and clorks serving In the cle Hon, In both Oklahoma and Indian Territories, was tlied by the statute. "Tho chairmen woro allowed mileage- whero It was necessary to mak? trips to secure the ballots and deliver tho returns. In your district It appears thatuo amounts are due on account of distance traveled, as all of your pro clncts wore located within tho limits of Ardmoro. "Respectfully, TAMS HIXHY.

PROSPECTS ARE SLIM. For a League Baseball Team In Ard. more During the Summer of 1907 Town Is Badly Handicapped. As the approach of tho baseball season draws near, Ardmoro Is still on tho outside to far as any prospects of getting Into n league Is concerned. Oilier townj In the Oklahoma part ot the new state and a tew In tho terri tory have made preparations for piny lug league ball the coming reason, but not so with Ardmore. Tho Now Stnto League recently formed nt Oklahoma City to consist or, sovernl or the territory towns and also Oklahvinm (owns which were not Included In tho All Oklahomn League, was to havo taken somo action with ro' gnrd to granting a franchise to Ard more. If this was done baseball en thusiasts In this city havo not been In formed or It. Hoprosentntlves of tho lengiio were to havo met In Oklahomn City on January 3 tn decide what ad ditional towns, besides tho charier members, franchises would bo grant ed. H Ardmoro wns Included In that niimbor tho ruct has not been mafio known. Tho proposition now Is that Ard moro In company with towns sur rounding this both in Toxns and this territory form an Independent lenguo for the coming season. This solution to the question as to whether Ard more Is to play lenguo ball seems tho most tangible new beforo tho baseball advocates In this city Ardmoro Is ready to support a ood tonrn nnd is willing to go Into n lenguo with towns In a radius of ono hundred miles of this point. Ardmoro Is rendy to put up a forfeit that alio will play tho season out nnd n guarantee of a specified amount for each game. H. II. Hracy of this city, who 1ms nlwnys taken n great Interest In tho gnmo here, Bald today In spenklng oi tho matter that ho. In company with I others would furnish tho necessary forfeit and guarantee money to lnsuro n team for Ardmoro provided n lenguo could lie formed of the towns near enough to Ardmoro to lnsuro the transiHirtatlon oxpenso not being too heavy. 'At prosent Ardmoro has no sulta bio grounds for basebnll within th city limits, as tho former grounds used, lmvo been purchased by cotton men who oxpect to erect buildings on tho slto. Thore Is a movo on foot, however, by bnaoball enthusiasts to sociiro a leaso or purchase tho Fall Association's grounds with n view or plnjlng lenguo ball. Tho only objec tion to this Is the transportation raro to tho park and back patrons of tho game would have lo pay. Could some mclhod or securing choap rnre bo do vised (ho park would bo an Ideal plaro. Hut until this Is oden tho prolmblllty of playing ball thoro Is slim. However, this Is one of the minor dotnlls and H other towns surrounding this will como into a league with tho necessary guarantee there will be plenty of league ball In this end of the new state.
