OKLAHOMA FLOURISHING.
To The Newark Journal.
Please allow me space to say a
word or two to my old friends at
Newark.
Health is fine, and crops arc
good. I have 75 acres of cotton
as fine as I ever saw. and my corn
will make 50 bushels per acre.
Wheat and oats were a fair crop.
We are having lots of rain.
Statehood for Oklahoma seems
| assured. The single statehood
j convention at Oklahoma City was
|attended by over a thousand dele
gates, and letters of sympathy
I were read from President Roose
velt. Vice President Fairbanks,
Senators Breekenbridge, Bailey
and many others.

MORE ANTI-TRUST SUITS.
The Gazette says that Attorney
General R. L. Rogers has institut
ed suit in the Pulaski Circuit
[Court under the new anti trust
■ law against the International Har
vester Company, seeking to collect1
penalties aggregating $000,000 for
! alleged violation of the law. The
I state asks the maximim penalty of
! of $5,000 per day for every day
1 since March ‘25, 1905, when the
law went into effect.
This is the first suit to be filed
under the anti-trust law against
corporations other than insurance
companies, and it is the first of a
number which are to be instituted
| within the next few days.
Complaints are also being drawn
in other suits which will be tiled
as soon as possible.
In the complaint it is alleye,;
i that the defendant company i> a
monopoly, created by combining
under the name of one corporation
other harvester companies, for the
purpose of regulating or fixing the
price of harvesting machines and
limiting the amount or quantity of
the product.
COTTON 15 SHALL.
The government crop report for
! Arkansas for the week ending du
ly 24 says, cotton is small and
j grassy generally, but where clean
ed is making a fair growth; it is
not forming well and there is some
complaint of insects and rust in
juring the crop. In the eastern
and southern portions of the state
i some cotton land has been aban
doned. Early corn has improved,
is doing well and generally is more
j promising; the late planted is gen
erally in poor condition from lack
of cultivation and too much mois
ture. Wheat and oats have been
injured in shock from rain. Irish
potatoes are generally fair to good
and sweet potatoes are doing well.
WILL SUSPEND RIVER WORK.
Advices from' Batesville state
that orders have been issued to
suspend Government work in
White river.
This action is taken because of
the adverse report said to have
been agreed to by the Board of
Army Engineers composed of Col
onel Sears, Major Newcomer and
Major Hockersmith, which recent
ly made an examination of the
upper White River region for the |
purpose of deciding whether it is
advisable to complete the system
of locks and dams begun by the
Government under Captain W. E.
Sibert when he was stationed in
Arkansas several years ago.
Captain Sibert’s plan was to con-!
struct ten locks and dams in order J
to make the river permanently j
navigable. Two locks and dams j
have been completed. Something ;
like $150,000 is available for work !
on lock No. but this is said toi
be insufficient to complete the
work.
