year for Oklahoma. Rain ha*
fallen in plenty over nearly every
part of the territory, and without
doubt our crops this fall will Ik-
bumpers in both cotton and corn.
These two staples will more than
make up to nearly every farmer far
more than he lost through the
partial failure in wheat.
“Now, if it is moisture in the
soil which attracts that already in
the clouds, why wouldn’t it lie just
as well to have it in big bodies,
such as lakes and ponds? The
number of these todies of water in
Oklahoma has greatly increassd
and I’nv. willing to give this fact a
certain amount of credit for our
great amount of rainfall this sum-
mer.
“The Santa Fe has always en-
couraged the building of ponds in
the territory, and has even done a
little of it itself. There is a line
of lakes stretching clear across the
territory which were built by • the
Santa Fe railroad. The total
acreage thus under water is not less
than 5,000 acres, and consists of
large ponds or lakes at Newkirk,
Merramec, Yost, Byers and Ice-
land, while at such places as Guth-
rie and Perry dams have been con-
structed and streams across which
these were built have been backed
up and widened for miles.
“If every land owner in Oklaho-
ma would build a pond of some
extent on his place, I don’t be-
lieve we’d have to wait long for the
results. There are many draws
that could be dammed and in the
rainy season they wTould be filled
so as to cover several acres in ex-
tent. If this were done I am sure
each farmer so doing would be
rapidly trebled each year for the
labor and expense incurred in build-
ingthe dams and the cash value of
hisfarm would be materially in-
creased. __
j waftte ba*kvt. a* thcii move* have
been to break the populist party
up. Will we let them do it? Not
by my vote. A \ otkr.
Oklahoma Day.
Tuesday, September 6. will be
Oklahoma day at the world’s fair
and every citizen of Oklahoma who
can possibly be present should to
there to participate in the ceremo-
nies and help sing the praise of Ok-
lahoma. The exercises at the Ok-
lahoma / building will consist of
vocal and instrumental music and
recitations by Oklahoma’s best tal-
ent, addresses by President Francis
of the exposition company and
other distinguished notables and
response by Governor Ferguson.
Following this will be a parade to
the terrace of states where the
statues representing Oklahoma and
Indian territory will be crowned by
young ladies from the territories
and brief addresses made. Honor-
able Roy V. Hoffman, of Chandler,
will speak at the crowning of Okla-
homa statute and some orator from
the Indian territory will speak at
the statute representing that terri-
tory. The people of the Indian
territory have been invited to par-
ticipate in all of the exercises. In
the afternoon free watermelon wil
be served to the entire world on
the lawn at the Oklahoma building
and in the evening an informal re-
ception will be given the general
public by the Governor and the
Oklahoma Commission. Every
Oklahoman is invited to bring all
of his friends to this reception and
invitations will be extended to the
people of all other states. The
Oklahoma building and exhibit
will be in gala attire throughout
the day and a special effort will
be made to advertise and boom Ok-
lahoma in every department. No
effort will be spared to make this
one of the greatest days at the ex-
position and every community in
Oklahoma should to represented at
the building and at the exhibits by
their best people who can present
the claims of their towns and coun-

Editor Gazette: The question an(j ^nvince all visitors that some
lion of ltntM'v«*ii «lll I** 1* declaration J
fur the purest and l»e*t ifuvenunent, I
worthy of the moat exalted American ■
cilltenshlp, we hereby Instruct the
delegation elected by thb convention
to the national convention to vote for
Uooftevelt as the enthusiastic desire of
the people of Oklahoma.
Second In lion. Ik 8. McGuire the
territory has a representative t«L
Washington who commands the ad-
miration and respect of all the people,
and whose valuable services and care-
ful and intelligent attention to the
interests of our people at the national
capital unqualifiedly entitle him to
our cordial endorsement andito re-elect
him.
Third — We are proud of the business
sense and purity exhibited in the ter-
ritorial government of Oklahoma.
The condition of the public affairs of
our territory under the wise guidance
of Governor T. B. Ferguson proves the
superiority of the republican govern-
ment. He lias put into practice the
principles of public fidelity laid down
by President Roosevelt, requiring a
strict adherenee to them by all his
official family.
Fourth—We reaffirm the declaration
of the republican party for the right
of every citizen to cast one free and
untrammeled vote and have it honestly
counted.
Fifth—Favors early construction of
Panama canal.
Sixth—The republican party has de-
clared for twelve years for immediate
statehood for Oklahoma, consenting
that the Indian territory be attached
when its conditions made it ready.
We, therefore, indorse the bill by the
committee on territories, which has
been introduced by Chairman Hamil-
ton, providing for a single state to be
admitted in 1906, and now pending in
the lower house of congress; and we
urge the immediate passage of this
bill that the people of Oklahoma may
have that , sovereignty which their
wealth, population and exalted|citizen-
ship so thoroughly entitle them]to.
Seventh-We congratulate^the peo-
pie of Oklahoma on the acknowledge-
ment by congress of the declaration of
the republican party of Oklahoma in
the last campaign for some plan of
equalization of the school funds of
Oklahoma and Indian territory, in the
appropriation by congress of »5,000,‘
000 in lieu r>f school lands in the In-
dian territory and as a partial offset
Eighth—Favors just proportion of
irrigation funds to be given to Okla-
homa.
Ninth—We endorse the national
and territorial good roads movement.
We pledge our encouragement in
every way possible to the betterment
of the highways of Oklahoma and the
furtherance of the various organiza-
tions in this territory lor this pui-
pose.
Tenth—Favors early allotment or
lands in territories so as to subject
them to taxation.
Eleventh—Equal suffrage.
Twelfth—We invite the people of
Oklahoma to assist the republican
party in the election of its candidates
as the purest way for the accomplish-
ment of good government, nation-
ally, territorially and locally. I he
history of Oklahoma in congress proves
that the only way to accomplish any-
thing for the territory is by the elec-
tion of a republican delegate.
