Lawton, O. T. Sept, 28 — (Special)—
The crews that have been survey lag
Indian allotments in the big pasture
have concluded their labors and part of
them have already returhed to Agent
Blackmon s headquarters at Anadarko.
Home finishing touches are to be made
by those remaining in the pasture, but
all of them wiil have gone by the last
of this week.
Since the surveying of the allotments
began a few weeks ago the force of
clerka in Agent Blackmon's office has
been busy enrolling and allotting the
Indian babies reported. This task in
itself has been a big one, inasmuch as
there is a great deal of red tape to be
gone through, and added to these oner-
oua duties have come many correction
occasioned by new births and a few
deatha The agent is taking particular
care that the records are in all re-
spects perfectly on the square.
The Indiana are prone to file objec-
tions and doubtless many designing
persons are watching for an opportu-
nity to contest an Indian’s right. In
fact, contests of this kind are likely to
arise no matter how particular the
clerks have been with the records.
Ar fast as the surveyors’ reports have
reached the agent the allotments have
been placed properly upon the lists
These have then been regularly for-
warded to the interior department. It
is said that only about 26 per cent of
the allotments have been reported to
the department to date. The President •
proclamation, which was signed several
days ago, is being withheld from form-
al issuance ponding the completion of
the a gent's allotment report. It may be
ten days or two weeks before the final
report has been submitted to lbs de-
partment.

Austin, Sept. 22.—(SpeciaL)—The St.
Louis Southwestern Railway company
of Texas today indicated an intention
•t ignoring the Williams intangible
assets law and continue under the Love
gross receipts tax law. This "is. It has
offered under protest, a statement of
its gress earnings for the year endlag
June IQ. last, as required ypder the
Love gross receipts tax billyet.she
two laws contain provisions jha when
the Williams bill became efdetive the
Love bill would not apply to those
roads coming within the provisions of
the Williams bill.
The St. Louis Southwestern did come
within the provisions of the Williams
bill and its intangible assets were 48-
aessed by the state tax board and the
pro rata valutins certified to by the
counties through which it operates.
Therefore, apparently, it was relieved
of the Love bill tax, even though the
constitutionality of the Williams bill is
assailed in the courts by ths railroads.
The state regards it as constitutional,
and therefore. It is recognized as ef-
feetive from Jan. L *
A complete statement of the earnings
show the total to amount to $3,305-.
626.27, 1 per cent tax on which would
be $33,055.
. Tire report or statement of earnings
is filed under protest, a letter of Gen-
ral Attorney Perkins reciting the fact
that the act had been declared uncon-
stitutional and void by the court of

This is the first rallroad to submit
its report under the Love bill for this
year, none having been expected from
those having intangible assets. The
law provides that the- reports should
be made and the tax paid on or before
Oct. -1, and 12 per cent penalty ac-
crues during October for failure; that
if the report is not made and tax paid
before Nov. 1, the penalty shall be
2222 per day for each day of omission.
Thus there are but two days isft
for the filing of the reports if they
should be completed, which is not at

A -- • -prominavtswitahmege .......... _ ..
The report which appeared in The
Record is correct, so it is said, but no
movement of any kind has yet been
made by the switchmen of Houston.
-The proposition is that instead of
having only two shifts of men during
twenty-four hours, working each shift
twelve hours or longer, that it put on
three shifts of eight hours each and
Increase the pay also, the amount of
increase being left to future settlement
between the switchmen and the rail-
road company.
The switchmen of Houston are watch-
ing developments and. as stated, are in
foil sympathy 'with the movement.
Other employes stated that the move-
ment applied to the eastern railroads
and would in all probability not affect
the Texas roads and yards.
So far as could be ascertained the
railroad engineers of Houston have not
indicated what they will do in the event
the demand, as suggested, assumes
tangible shape.

An order of W. C. Nixon, vice presi-

that the employes of that system, use
the new phonetic spelling is causing
a great deal of comment in railroad
circles. Various opinions are given,
some claiming that the task of acquir-
ing the new style will be too great,
while others seem to think It will be
a time saver. The new order will no
doubt cauae a great many puzzled heads
on the Frisco system before the mat-
ter is settled.

It will be the opening round of the
great fight against the commission's
rates and orders.
The railroads have been quite active
in preparing their tables of compari-
sons and will be on hand with an
abundance of statistical evidence. Chief
Auditor Askew of the railroads, for-
merly of the commission, is known to
- have been extremely busy and has vis-
ited practically all of the auditors' of-
fices in the state, besides having re-
quested a large amount of data. The
record in the rate injunction suits
promises to be voluminous, with an
immense mass of comparative figures
and details.
Judge S.H. Cowan, the well known
rate lawyer of Fort Worth, who has
been engaged to assist the attorney
general in the defense of the suits, has
not reached Austin as yet, but will
probably be here next week and con-
sult as to the steps in be taken in the
{ zase. It is recognised as one of vital
enportence to tbe. commission and will
be stubbornly fought by both sides.
