A Refreshing Incident
We heard of something recently in
connection with the dry weather that
was so unusual that we cannot refrain
from mentioning it. and think it
really entitled to a head more con-
spicuous than the one we are giving
it. The Wood brothers, J. L. and
J. R., well known farmers who live
three and one-half miles south and
one-half mile west of Blackwell, put
down a well for the use of the trav-
eling public. The well is just out-
side their property line on the main
traveled road, and in no way con-
venient for any but the traveling
public. They went to the trouble to
level the approaches and otherwise
make It free and easy and it Is a
dumb wayfarer who will not take the
hint to stop and refresh himself and
beast, and it is an ungrateful one
who will not thank Woods brothers
for their most considerate act. You
can imagine what that well has meant
this dry hot spell to travelers pass-
ing that way. and in the language of
the high school boys and girls, we
say fifteen rahs for Wood brothers.

There are persons who have an oc-

of the overcrowded avocations.

a success at it unless hefirst qualifies

Papers In an appeal to the United
States circuit court of appeals at St.
Louis, from the decision of Federal
Judge Cottera! in the Osage Indian
land tax cases were prepared by the
attorney general’s office and forward
ed to St. Louis.
In 1906 congress passed a law giv-
ing Osage Indians the right to select
three allotments of land, each allot-
ment to contain 160 acres. One of
the allotments was to be designated
as the homestead and the other two
allotments as surplus property. The
same law provided that the property
designated as 'surplus” should be
exempt from taxation for a period of
three years and the homestead free
from taxes for a period of 25 years
from the time the allotment was se-
lected.
In 19)0. four ypars after the pas-
sage of the law by congress. Osage
county officials instituted proceedings
to collect taxes on the surplus porp-
erty and also on homesteads where
the original aflottee had died. The
government, or the agents represent-
ing the federal government in the
supervision of Indian affairs, brought
injunction proceedings" in the federal
court to prevent the collection of-the
taxes.
The oase was tried before Judge
Cotteral who held5 that the surpitss
property was subject to taxation after
the expiration of three years from the
time of the allotment was made, but
held that the homestead was not tax-
able even though tbe original allottee
had died.
The government appealed ro tbe cir-
cuit court of appeals from that part
of tbe opinion relating to surplus
property wtyle the state ha3 filed a
cross appeal from the holding as to
the taxation of homesteads.

Washington, Sept. 10.—An enormous
loss in the prospective production of
corn and indications of the biggest
wheat crop ever produced were the
features of the government Septem-
ber crop report issued Tuesday af-
ternoon. Hot weather and drouth in
a number of the principal corn grow-
ing states during the month ending
September 1 caused deterioration of
corn which experts calculate has re-
sulted in the loss of 321,000,000 bush-
els, reducing the corn crop estimates
to 2,351,000,000 bushels during July
and the August loss brought the total
loss up to 621.000,000 bushels since
the first estimate of corn crop pros-
pects were made by the government.
Texas alone of the great corn states,
held her own during August. Nebraska
was hardest hit. the deterioration
there amounting to 30 per cent, bring-
ing condition of the crop to 37 per
cent of normal. The loss In Missouri
was 29 per cent, the crop being 41
per cent of normal. Kansas reported
a condition of 10 per cent of normal,
the lowest ever recorded was a loss
of 20 per cent during the month. Illi-
nois, with the greatest acreage of any
state planted to corn, reported a con-
dition of 62 per cent, a loss of 10 per
cent; Iowa reported 76 per cent, a
loss of 9 per cent; Oklahoma 39 per
cent, a loss of 5 per cent

Consolidated Schools
Because the state board off educa-

the attorney general in pro-rating the
$100,000 appropriation made by the

Another step toward making the
S-cent passenger rate more beneficial
was taken by the corporation com-
mission when a proposed order was
issued requiring all railroed compan-
ies to stop passenger trains, inbound
sad outbound at the station on their
respective lines nearest the state
boundary line long enough, no- permit
tbe purchase of tickets.
The hearing to make the order per-
manent will be before the commis-
sion on September IT.
If this order is made effective it is
expected to clear up about the only
troublesome situation the state has
had to deal with' in connection with
the 2-cent rate agreement. Under
present conditions iff n passenger
buys a through ticket from some point
in Oklahoma to a point in another
state he is required to pay 3 cents a
mile for the entire distance, the 2-
eent rate note being an interstate
agreement.
The only way this eaa be avoided,
in the opinion of the corporation com-
mission. is for interstate passengers
leaving points in Oklahoma to pur-
ohase tickets to the last station in
Oklahoma on the line they propose
to travel, then get off the train and
purchase another ticket to their des-
tination. This will give them the ad-
vantage of the 2-cent rate all the way
in Oklahoma. The same plan can be
followed by passengers coming into
the state.

left Wednesday evening for Bismark
in that county, where they yill outfit
and drive some 20 miles to the bear
ground. The water being so bad ev-
erywhere and not wanting to take any
chances on bad water down there,
thej took with them among other1
necessaries a jug supposed to con- j
tain t hikaskia river water, which is , erate home
fund only to counties where such con-
solidation was to be made at the time.

fund should have been distributed to
all the counties, according to popula-

$16,500. W. F. Herber of Muskogee
was awarded the construction con-
tract and the heating, lighting and
plumbing was awarded to Kennedy,
Spragins and Lewis of Ardmore.
