Oklahoma City, Okla., June 8.
John Field, editor of the Farm Jour
nal, is endeavoring to interest the
chamber of commerce in a move-
ment for the planting of more and
better corn in Oklahoma. Field will
attend the national corn exposition
at Omaha in December and it is
likely that Oklahoma will have a big
exhibit there.
Heretofore Oklahoma has not
been included in the corn belt. Field
contends that the state's last crop
record justifies its claim for recogni-
tion. Out of a total crop of 2,668,-
651,000 bushels, Oklahoma. produced
122,239,000 bushels.
"There is work to be done at
home and abroad," says Field. "We
must convince the rest of the coun-
try that Oklahoma is in the corn
belt. At home, we should encourage,
through local corn shows, an in-
creased yield per acre by the use of
better seed and better methods. Tin
products of corn is the investor
measure of a state's agricultural fu
ture."

That the late George W. Wise, sep-
| tuagenarian, who willed his proper-
ty to Gladys Jean Pugh, with whom
| he was in love, possessed real es
late which has heretofore been iin
known of by Miss Pugh is proven by
the receipt of a letter from VV. V
Wise, of Juno, Texas, nephew of
I the deceased, who says that Dr.
I Wise had farms of 100 and 80 acres
Iin Lodi and Modesto, Cal. I he let-
ter stated that Wise also owned sev-
eral buildings in San Francisco.
"My uncle was divorced from his
wife, and I do not believe she should
share his property," said Wise. "1
intend to do all in my power to pre
I vent her receiving a share of the

Guthrie, Okla., June 8.—It was
positively learned here today that
Governor Haskell iias finally denied
the application of Governor Camp-
bell of Texas to extradite W. L.
Chapman, A1 Brown and I- 1
Grimes, who are wanted in l.agle
Pass, Texas, on several indictments
for uttering forged documents.
Chapman is secretary of the cor
poration commission, and both
Brown and Grimes are prominent
men in Oklahoma. The Texas indict
ments arose out of the old Kicka
poo Indian land cases in which both
the accused Oklahomans and scores
of others were interested. 1 here are
two sides to these cases; one sup
ported by the Oklahomans, who se
cured deeds for themselves from tli
migrating Kickapoos, who movei
from Oklahoma to Mexico; the otli
jupported chiefly by one Martin
J. Bentley, former Kickapoo Indian
agent, who holds numerous second
deeds from the Kickapaas for whom
he claims to be acting as trustee on
ly. Bentley has been engaged in
light for several years to oust the
Oklahomans from possession of the
Kickapoo lands for which they held
deeds, lias carried his fight through
the United States congress, a sena
torial investigation, Mexico and < )k
lahoma. The Texas indictments are
known to be his last move to cancel
the deeds held by Oklahoma people

Frank Ephraim has purchased th
building formerly occupied by th
A. Maloy grocery store and
soon as possible will have the buil
ing fitted up for his gents furnish-
ings stock. The building now occupi-
ed by Mr. Fphraim was sold recent-
ly to S. K. McCall who wanted to
fit it up for a stock of women's
ready to wear goods and Frank
Ephraim thought a stock of ready
to wear goods for men adjoining
would be the proper thing and in
order to get the location it was nec-
essary to buy the building.
Mrs. Longsdon, of Chickasha, ar-
rived in Norman Tuesday to be the

For the past four days the weath

Shawnee, Okla., June 8. All is not
lovely with the various drainage
projects of this and adjoining coun
ties. There have been rumbles of
discontent for some weeks and these
have crystalized in a meeting called
at Tecumseh of the property owner
of the Little river drainage distric
of the south end of the county.
The complaints made are that the
ditch will cost more than estimated
and will be so expensive as to be
confiscatory; that the ditch a5 plan-
ned will be a dry-weather ditch, not
being large enough to care for flood
waters; that it would be unjust to
tax the $45,000 assessed against In-
dian lands 011 the other property
owners, which would have to be
done, as the Indian lands are not
taxable; and there is also a strong
protest from the upland farmers
against being taxed for the ditch, on
the grounds that they receive no
benefits at all, and also from the rail-
roads—the Santa Fe because they
will not be benefited at all, having a
high fill across the bottoms, and the
Katy and Rock Island because they
:onsider the assessments against
them as unreasonable in proportion
to the benefits they receive.
At the Tecumseh meeting it is ex-
pected that the whole matter will be
gone over very thoroughly and if
the property owners are not satisfi-
ed they will employ attorneys to
start the necessary proceedings to
enjoin the work, which has not vet
begun. It is understood that the
property owners in the Dee crem
drainage district are also protesting.
