Jurisdiction of the government over

Townsend in Southern District
CHICKASHA: The recent assur-
ances from Washington to the effect
that Judge C. W. Raymond will not
be reappointed to his present, position
as judge of the western district of
Indian Territory have added strength
to the rumor which has been alloat
here for several days to the effect
that. Raymond is to be let down easy,
and "Uncle Joe" Cannon placated by
shelving Judge Hosea W. Townsend,
of the southern district, and giving
Raymond his place, thus smoothing
out everything in the western district.
There has been some speculation
here regarding the effect which such
a move would have on Judge Dicker-
son, the former Kansan, who is now
associated with Judge Townsend in
this district. Judge Dickerson is a
receptive candidate for the federal
judgeship of the southern district in
the new state, when statehood comes,

chinces, as Raymond is considered to
be after bigger game— something more
in the sensational class—and would
probably not be in Dickerson's way for
the judgeship.

Russia i3 Experiencing a Test of
Strength with Skilled Workmen
CHICAGO: The Record-Herald
prints the following dispatch from St.
Petersburg under date of Dec. 2:
"A crash is expected momentarily.
The military sugeons, gunners, techni-
cists and artillerists have struck. The
revolutionaries are unwilling to give
the government an excuse for employ-
ing violent repression and are them-
selves abstaining from violence, ex-
cept that discharged workmen are
burning factories.
"The strike of the postal and tele-
graph employes is a severe test of the
government's strength. Russian tele-
graph operators are educated men, but
the hardest worked and poorest paid
skilled laborers in Europe. Therefore
they have popular sympathy in their
present strike.
"A member of the government said:
'We expected a panic on the Bourse,
so we are not disturbed by the de-
velopments there. A further slump
in values is probable since there can
be no rally until normal conditions in
the Empire have been re-established.'
"Definite reports are circulated of
the discovery of a grand ducal con-
spiracy at Tsarskoe-Selo, where power-
ful persons plotted a palace revolu-
tion in which the Czar was to have
played the part of Emperor Paul, who
was assassinated one hundred years
ago.
"Jewish leaders have Informed
Count Witte that they do not want him
(o grant rights to them before the
Douma assembles."
Task of Selecting a New Premier Has
Been Completed
LONDON: The political crisis in
(he United Kingdom reached a climax
when Arthur J. Balfour, the premier,
tendered formally the resignations of
himself and the members of his cabi- i
net to King Edward, who accepted !
them. His majesty has invited Sir ,
Henry Campbell-Bannerman to an in-
terview, when he will offer him the
mission of forming a new cabinet. Sir
Henry will accept the task, and with-
i.i a few days a new government will
be formed.
A brief official announcement was
made that the cabinet had resigned
and that the king had accepted tae
resignation of his ministers, and that
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman had
been sent for.
It would appear that the entire pro-
gram has been cut and dried for some
time, and it is even probable that the
liberal leadei has already completed
his cabinet, though this, like every-
thing else in connection with British
officialdom, must be left to surmise.
It may be stated as certain that
Lord Roseberry will be entirely
ignored In the make up of the new
cabinet, and that John Morley will be
one of the chief advisers of Sir Henry
in drawing up the list of his official
family, which will be presented to his
majesty.
OPENING "PASTURE" BIDS
Land Will be Leased for an Average
of 50 Cents Per Acre
ANADARKO: The interior depart-
ment, through the Indian agent, -I. I'.
Biackman, has begun the work of
opening bids for the leasing of the
hp'" million acres of Indian pasture
lanu, located in the southern part of
Comanche county. ' These lands are
to be leased for a period of five years
lor a minimum price of twenty-live
cents an acre. All improvements are
to revert to the Indians at the expira-
tion of the leases. Delegate McGuire
has introduced a bill in congress to
open these lands to homestead. Law-
ton and other nearby towns have .lone
all in their power to discourage leas-
ing, but notwithstanding this the
bids run as high as $1.10, and *'111
average fifty cents per acre.
Delegate McGuire and formei In-
dian Agent Randlett have never
agreed as to the final disposition of
this land. The former wanted it
opened to homestead and the latter
advocated the title remaining with
the Indians. The Indian agent ap-
pears to have won out. Would-be
lessees are here from a dozen states.
The Statement Delayed by Reason of
Wide Variance In Returns
WASHINGTON: The cotton crop
bulletin issued by the department of
agriculture estimates the total yield
at 10,167,818 bales of 500 pounds gross
weight, not including linters.
The area picked is estimated at. 26,-
117,153 acres, a reduction of 882,3 !
acres, or 3.3 per cent reduction from
the acreage estimate as planted. It
was officially announced that the de
lay in the issuance of the report was
caused by a wide divergence in re-
ports of yield per acre, which caused
prolonged discussion.
The total number of pounds pro-
duced in the year 1905-06 will amount
to 4,860,217,358. not including linters.
The estimated production of Okla-
homa, as given in the report, is 231.-
£38 in five hundred-pound bales, and
Indian Territory is down for 324,606
bales.
TOO MUCH SALT IN WATER
Snyder, O. T., Irrigation Project May
Be Abandoned
WASHINGTON: Mr. Thomas R
Means, engineer of soils of the United
States reclamation service, has been
ordered to report to Snyder, to begin
an examination as soon as possible ot
' the soils and water supply of the Red
river project, which h?s been under
investigation by the engineers of th<?
service for some time. T his examina-
tion has been deemed necessary, ow-
ing to the fact that the waters passing
the reservoir site show an average ol
oii?-tenih of 1 per cent of salt solution,
a quantity unsafe for irrigation, as
much of the soil is heavy clay, difficult
to drain and unsuitable for the recep-
tion of salt water without perfec*
drainage.
HAMILTON'S STATEHOOD BILL
SECRETARY FAVORS BIXBY
Hitchcock Said to Be Opposed to Re-
tention of Tribal Chiefs
WASHINGTON: Secretary Hitch-
cock is understood io be opposed to
the proposition to continue the tribal
chiefs in office to close up their affairs
with the federal government. This is
one of the legislative acts for which
all the councils have petitioned and
the Creeks and Chetokees are now in
the city presenting this and other
matters to the depaitment. There is
reason to believe that Secretary.Hitch-
cock thinks all the duties which would
be performed by the chiefs could be
better discharged by Tams Bixby, who
is the Dawes commission.
The Indians and their representa-
tives here are unalterably opposed to
this plan. Whatever action may be
taken will be by congress, the secre-
tary's only function belnir that of mak
ing a r«Mvmm «d tion.
TO STRAIGHTEN JURY TANGLE
Attorney General Moody Acts on Hor
ace Speed's Suggestion
WASHINGTON: The attorney gen-
eral. Mr. Moody, in his report, just
made public, recommends the enact-
ment of a law to correct the jury situ-
ation in Oklahoma and Indian Terri-
tory, brought about by Judge Philipp's
decision declaring many of them In-
valid. The measure proposed is in
substantially the following terms, and
the attorney general gives credit for it
to Horace Speed of Guthrie:
"That until the termination of the
sessions of the next legislature of
Oklahoma Territory, and while Okla-
homa continues to be a territory, or
uutil the legislature thereof shall
otherwise provide, any grand jury and
any petit jury selected, drawn and im-
paneled according to the mode of pro-
cedure of the common law, or in sub-
stantial compliance with :he require-
ments of the United States statutes
for the obtaining of grand and petit
jurors, respectively, shall be a legal
grand or petit jury for the examin-
ation and trial of all cases in the dis-
trict court* of ( .(ild teriitory.
Measure Is Practically the Same as
Amended by the Senate Last Year
WASHINGTON: Representative
Hamiltou of Michigan has introduced
a joint statehood bill, providing for the
admission of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory to the Union as the state ot
Oklahoma, and the admission of New
Mexico and Arizona as Arizona. With
slight changes, the bill is the same as
i was after being amended by the
senate at the last session. Polygamous
or plural marriages are forever pro-
hibited in both of the proposed states,
and the prohibition amendment of the
senate for the new state of Oklahoma
is cut out. As it now stands, the bill
prohibits the sale of liquor to Indians
in both the proposed states, but places
no further restrictions upon the liquor
traffic.
PARKER IS APPOINTED

sor Has Been Named
MUSKOGEE: The announcement
that L. F. Parker has Tieen appointed
judge of the western district of Indian
Territory to succeed C. W. Raymond

mond camp. Much interest has been
taken in the fight here, and it Is the
main topic of conversation. It is
known that the majority of the mem-
bers of the local bar association op
posed Raymond.
