exterd the time according to their
own judgment. The representatives
from the new counties are all for the
extension. The b ii was considered in
the committee of the whole with Ma-
son in the chair. Il is thought by the
advocates of the bill that the county
commissioocr of the old counties need
not extend the liuie if it is not neces-
sary to do SO in their counties.
The few members from the
old conn tits who oppose the
the measure do not do ho ou the
ground of not appreciating the set-
tlers' condition in the new counties,
out because it places too much power
In the county commissioners. It is
hoped that home bi tter measure can
be devised befcre the end of the 6es-
nIou, so most of them arc willing to
ivait until later iu the session.

At 10 o'clock, on assembling, the
counc I, in a committee of the whole,
vent into executive session for the
purpo e of considering' C. 1J. 40, an act
to pro ide for the restoration of lost
recordi. This bill applies to Payne
county and the destruction of records
by the burning of the court house at
Stillwater, in said county. Similar
other bills have been presented in the
house and council at earlier days in
tue session.
A long debate ensued on the pre-
sentation of this bill in Its present
i* rm, partl ipated iu by the tenator
!rom Pottawatomie, Logan, "I'ara
dlte,'' Oklahoma, Noble and otln rs
The main question of the debate was
the passage of an amendment provid
.•ng-for delinquent as well as non-de-
iiinf|uent taxpayer*. / lso with regard
*t. the emp'oyment of special sssessois
:n conjunction with the regular assess-
;ors to re assess all taxable property

at 12 o'clock to report progress and
asked to ait again.

Council— .4f(«r«oou 9riilon.
The first and mo>t essential business
of the afternoon aession was the pay-
ment of the mem hers of both bodies.
The members of the upper house were
promptly on hand. It* was not neces-
sary to send out the sergeant-at-arms
for the calling in of a single senator.
There was no debate while the pay-
ment was going on.
The members were satisfied with
every aet of .Secretary Tom Lowe and
no amendment to any actori sueof
his was presented.
The council at the afternoon session
went into a committee of the whole
for the further consideration of coun-
cil bill No. 40.
'i he governor came in duriug the
afternoon and was presented to the
members. While the governor was
present and the pyvmeut of members
w as going on thu committee of th '
w ho)« tooh a reeeea.
On coming to order the rules on
nmoking were or lered to be enforced.
The consideration of bill 4'j was re-
sumed, It is being discussed for the
purpi se of amending such sections as
members deem necessary. The dis-
cussion is likely to take up the balance
of the afternoon.
The bill will be presented to the
council In its amended form, probably
tomorrow. The amendments to coun-
cil bill No. 49 are quite numerous and
regarded by the members as very im-
portant to the legal perfection of an
important measure.

THAT REPORT.
It U Llkel/ to Caa«e an I arcs titration By
tb« interior Department.
Washington, Jan. 1C. — [Special.]
It was stated at the department of the
interior today that the secretary
would likely order an investigation of
affairs in connection with the agricul*
tural college located at Stillwater,
Oklahoma, vf Mai. Henry E.
Alvord Is president. It is claiuica
that some time ago Maj. Alvord ad-
vised the secretary that the territorial
officials of the college were not H*- •
ilng the funds of the institution to
oest ox advantage; that some oi toe
otSciais were pa} ing relatives as clerks
wheu no clerical work was oeing
done and that in many respects the
funds were being dissipated. This
called the attention of the secretary
to ihe matter, and it is believed that
an investigation will be made, as all
the funds so far belonging to the col-
lege were supplied by the govern-
ment.
STATtHOOD CHAT.
UUi llutwortli M*ket Siuie Good Sug-
gestion* to Thnt Uegard.
Ot'THRiL, Okla. Jan. 17.—[Special 1
Among the many sjggea'.ions for
improving our tluances and at the
«ame ti>ie making the burden easier
for the tax payers, I have not as yet
met with the suggestion to iiiake the
payment of tax semi-annual.
But surely it is easier for person de-
pendent upon their earnings or for
farmers whose ready cash is largely
from weekly sales of butter, chicken*
and **egtfs to pay five or six dollars
twice each year thau once.
And it will also be very much better
for the school fund to have the monev
come into the treasury twice each
year than once. With the scarcity of
money it seem unfortunate that money
belonging to the district should lie
unused in bank from April until the
next fall—some of It perhaps until th
next January—and so the temptation
to use the April money during the pre-
ceeding winter, by issuing warrants,
is too strong to oe resisted. But if the
money came Into the treasury In Feb-
ruary and August, It would be much
easier for the districts to arrange their
finances on a cash basis.
And this is what is needed—not war-
ranis which may or may not be "al-
most as good as money," but the mon-
ey itself. At the close of the civil war
the improvement in finance was com-
paratively small when it was thought
the government would to on resume
specie payment, or when the nremium
on specie was growing less, but when
the government did resume, the
improvement In the financial situa-
tion was instantaneous and very great;
so what this territory needs is that
the treasury should have cash on de-
mand and that warrants should be
only a memory of the past.

County Superintendent.

Senator* Allison and Coefcrell Talk With
Rome Oklahouians on the Subject.
Washington, Jan. 16. — [Special.]
Some of the members of the Oklahoma
contingent had a conference with
Senators Allison and Cockrell today
on the Oklahoma statehood bill. Sen-
ator Allison said he would favor the
passage of the bill at this session. He
did not know what the politics of the
new stite would be with the Chicka
saw country added, nor did he care;
but he did know that tkat country
should be admitted to the union and
that there are now enough people and
enough property interests there to
form a great state. He believed that
on the republican side of the chamber
there would be no difficulty of getting
all to support a statehood bill.
Senator Cockrell replied that he
would heartily favor the bill. He had
given the question some attention,
and he believed that now is the time
to take the matter up and start in
that new country. The senator form-
erly has been of those not favorable
j? statehood, and his conversion to
the caus is looked up^n by the sup-
porters of the bill as very suggestive
and favorable.

THE WICHITA LANDS.
SUPREME COURT.
The Hill Oprulng Them to Botttcmmt la
Fitvnrably Reported.
Washington, Jan. 16.—[ Special. ]
The house committee on Indian affairs
voted today to adopt the report sub-
mitted by Mr. Curtis, of KansaB, on
the bill to open to settlement the
Wichita reservation. Soon after the
vote was taken, Mr. Maddox, of
Georgia, took an appeal, and this will
be considered at a meeting tomorrow.
He did not like the plan that the
Chickasaw and Choctaw matter be rel-
egated to the court of claims. He
thought congress should settle that
matter along with other things in con-
nect on with the agreement with the
Wish tas.
Representative Cockrell urged the
comini tee to favorably report at once
the bill to open to settlement the
Kiowa, Comanche and Apache rearrva
tlons. The committee will also take
up this matter tomorrow.

The Warrant Cases Still ITod'r Considera-
tion Before That Body.
Guthrie, Okla., Jan. 17.—[Special.J
All of today was taken up in the
closing arguments of the warrant
cases. John Stone presented the case
of Hoffman in the Pawnee county con-
tention. He was followed by County
Attorney Houston of that county, in
opposition to his views. The court
next listened to the argument of Harp
er 8. Cunningham in the l :ink of Xtw
Vienna "sooner" warrant case. Judge
Pancoast, of Perry, was next to speak.
He contended that the 4 per cent 1 im-
itation restricted power in all territo-
ries in the United States, holding that
the law of 1896 had never been re
pealed, neither by statute nor implica-
tion, while Judge Cunn;ngham held
that an assessment was necessary to
first establish a basis before the 4 per
cent limitation would obtain.
The cases have been well and ably
handled by the attorneys and all pos-
ible light has been thrown on the
vexed but important question.
