School Land Commissioner James
J. Houston had the following to sav
after he had returned to Guthrie from
the new country:
"It is my impression that the ap
praisurs will reach Red river by Satur

will have tbe Kiowa country appraised
"We hope then to have the Kiowa

proof that the school land has mineral 8 g' 8pared

will want to lie on the safe side of the
question if anything of that kind
should ever come up."
The demand is increasing for this
school land, so Mr. Houston says
People are writing to the office for in-
formation and many people would like
to lease wbol« sections of the land if
they could. The demand will be heav
ler than the department has ever
known it and it will take some time to
get everything in condition.
DP AGAINST IT,
Liquor Question In New Country
Means Trouble.
Liquor matters, as they exist in the
new country, are fast drawing the at-
tention of the territorial and federal
officials and some decisive action in
the matter is expected at any moment.
It is announced front Lawton thai fully
aixty saloons began operation there as
•oon as an opportunity presented it-
aelf, or rather as soon as the federal
judges and attorneys left the ground.
The report Bays the saloonists were
fined, but at once began business again.
The matter has been taken up by
Governor Jenkins, I'nited Slates At-
torney Speed and Chief Justice Hur-
ford, and is now being considered by
these officials.
All possible preperation for the en-
forcement of the Oklahoma law in the
new counties had been made hy the
government and territorial officials.!
A shortage of JIOO.OOO in the Swift
& ( oinpany's books has been discover-
ed.
The German steamer, Orient, recent-
ly run down a pilot boat and complete-
ly cut it in to. Three lives were lost.
A company of the 26th infantry had
an engagement with insurgents Fri-
day in Camarines province. The troops
killed Zebasbean Angeles, a brother of
General Angeles and six privates and
captured a major, two captains and
nine privates. Another detachment
captured Magasin Caballes, at Lum-
bang, and also seized a large quantity
of supplies.
On Monday the Santa Fe railway
ill make a reduction of one-third on
rates on corn in Kansas, to be used for
feeding purposes.
Western Boy Story.
The accompanying little story pub-
lished in an eastern educational jour-
nal, is said to have been written by a
boy in the west, one of a class of chi'-
dren six or eight years old, who bad
been requested by their teacher to
and their compi.o.tl,r
rected hy their teacher, but to be read
before the children's parents exactly
as written. This is one of the number
submitted, and the writer is expected
to become a great story writer:
"A poor young man fell in love with
the daughter of a rich lady who kept
a candy shop. The poor young man
could not marry the riah candy lady's
daughter because he had not money
enough to buy furniture. A wicked
man offered to give the young man $2>
if he would become a drunkard. The
young man wanted the money very
much so he could marry the candy
lady's daughter, but when he got to
the saloon he turned to the wicked
man and said: 'I will not become a
drunkard even for great riches. Get
Colonel Jacob Admire, for many
years register of land ofBce at King,
.her and a man of mucn experience
m the land laws, in discussing the
Woods case in his paper. The Free
Iresn, says:
Mr. Woods, who drew the right to
make the first entry of land in the
Lawton land district, has been de-
nounced as a hog, and the people have
settled down to the conviction that he
is one. However that may be, whether
he is a hog or not-tbere is another
view of his case which has been hinted
ut, but not publicly discussed. The
legality of Mr. Woods' entry is yet to
be settled.
The acts of congress which provide
for the opening of the Wichita, and the
Kiowa. Comanche and Apache lands to
settlement, provide, in each case, that
these lands "shall be disposed of under
the general provision of the homestead
and townsite laws of the United
States," and there are no provisions in
either of those cast modifying in any
manner the form in which these lands
may be selected by the homestead en-
try man. The homestead laws genial-
ly require lands to be selected "in
square form as nearly as may be."
Section 20 of the act of May 2, 1890
which provided for "a temporary gov^
eminent for the Territory of Oklaho-
ma," etc., contains the following pro-
vision:
"All persons who shall settle on land
in said territory under the provision of
the homegtead laws of the United
States, and of this act, shall be requir-
ed to select the game in square form
aa nearly as may be." In the circular
of the general land office issued July
II. 1899, the department holds that the
"provision in section 20 of the act of
May 2,1890, that all homestead entries
for lands within said territory shall be
in square form as nearly as may be
has reference to the purpose and in-
tent of the homostead laws generally,
contemplating entries by quarter sec-
tions, which are in square form, when
this is practicable, etc.
Now, there was no other reason than
a hoggish one, why Mr. Woods should
not have selected his land in a square
form, and just why the local officers
permitted him to violate this plain
provision of the law is not apparent.
Instead of taking one of the quarter
sections adjoining the town on the
south, and the only two quarters so lo-
cated subject to entry, he was permit-
ted to select two 80 acre tracts cover-
ing and controlling the entire length
