Oklahoma and i ni i am thicki rout
Everything is on the boom in Okla-
homa territory and the people all have
money. ,
lOuthrie puts the trainps that wan-
dor through the city to work on the
streets.
It is said that settlers are swarming
into Greer county to take up the va-
cant lands.
Many hogf; are I cing1 put on the Ok- !
lahoma markets, and the quality is
above the average.
We are now willing to believe that
the burning of the two Seminole In-
dians was also an "accident"
An addition to the town of Stroud
has been platted. It lies east of the
present townsite and is beautifully lo-
cated.
Arrangements are being made by
Guthrie wheelmen to organize a bicy-
cle club on a permanent basis this sea-
son.
Wheat is Chicago will have to be
quoted at 81. 3,r) before it brings a dol-
lar on some of the local markets of Ok-
lahoma.
A man named McGuire maved to Ok-
lahoma last week .from Kentucky. lie
was accompanied by his wife and 14
children.
The Experiment Station at Stillwater
says: everybody who owns a peach tree
should examine it about the body near
the ground to see if borers are present.
If they are, there will be a gummy ex-
udation. This gum and the soil should
be removed and search made for the
borer with a knife. From one to a
dozen may be found in a single tree
The larya or worm is creamy white,
from an inch to an inch and a half long.
The writer of this paragraph recently
visited a peach orchard supposed to be
free from borers, but upon examina-
tion was found to be badly infested.
The court is still hard at work on
the Indian burning eases. Fifteen men
were tried on the 19tli before United
States Commissioner Foster and bound
over to the federal grand jury. Twen-
ty-six of the suspected burners have
been bound over, and there are at least
fifty more warrants out that are not
yet served. It will take at least an-
other week to close the preliminary
work before the United States Commis-
sioner. Much valuable testimony has
been developed during the last week
by United States Attorney McMechan,
who has been tireless in his efforts to
bring about exact justice. Great cred-
it is also due the deputy marshals for
the judicious way they have handled
this work.
The question of whether the money
derived from the leasing of sections 10
and : « and 13 and 33 in the Cherokee
strip belongs exclusively to that part
of Oklahoma or is n heritage common
to the whole territory, to be shared
alike by all public institutions in the
territory, will be forced to an issue if
plans now on foot in the strip, partic-
ularly in the western part, are carried
out. Laving aside the merits of the
case, most persons who express t liem-
selves want such an adjustment as will
give the greatest good to the greatest
number. The people of the strip feel
that they are contributing more than
their share to the funds for which the
sections were set. aside. Thev want
some kind of an equalization, but, at
the same time, as progressive citizens,
they do not want to sacrifice in any
way the growth and development of
other parts of Oklahoma.
Guthrie has
uge.
Oklahomans are busy preparing for
spring planting.
Duncan's cotton record for this sea-
son is 10,000 bales.
Work on the colored college at Lang-
ston is progressing rapidly.
New buildings are now being erect-
ed daily in tiie^ town of Stroud on the
border.
It is said there is at least a quarter
of a million bushels of wheat in sight
in Oklah oina county.
A negro faith healer was egged by a
lot of boys at Union City\lie other day
and the last seen of him he was strik-
j ing a lively gait out of town.
It is said a lady appeared on the
street in Guthrie the other day wiMi a
dress on that did not contain a stitch
of thread. The dress was arranged
from a bolt of goods and pinned in
places.
An Oklahoma county man has sold
40,000 bushels of wheat which he pur-
I chased at prices ranging from forty to
eig hty cents. He is now loading out
the wheat as fast as cars can be push-
ed up to the elevator. ,
'J here is a boy in Cleo who it is said
never swore an oath in his life, never
took a chew of tobacco, never smoked I
a cigar and never t&ok a drink of in-
toxicants. It is useless to say, this
boy is studying for the ministry.
The Experiment Station at Stillwat-
er cautions farmers and fruit growers
against trying on a large scale new 1
varieties of grains, cQtton, fruit, etc., <
which are sent out by some seedsmen
each year with extravagant claim as
to wonderful productiveness and value. !
Many of these prove to have little 1
value. Even if found valuable no great
loss will come from wafrting another
year. 1 rials on small scale may wise-
ly be made, but it is not safe to put in
a large quantity of any untried variety.
I he Rey. Father Felix DeGrass has
been elected abbot of the Sacred Heart
abbey of Benedictine monks, to fill the
vacancy caused by the death in Paris,
I- ranee, of the Rev. Abbot Thomas
Dupevin. Father Felix has been a
missionary among the Indians a quar-<
ter of a century, and can speak their
language as fluently as he can his. na-
tive language. Wherever he went he
built churches, schools and convents,
which stand today as monuments of
his energy and self-sacrifice. Although
his calling is essentially one of peace,
he comes from good fighting stock, be-
ing a grand nephew of the renowned
Count DeGrasseof Revolutionary fame,
who did much for the cause of Ameri-
can independence.
In a recent speech, Governor Karnes
said: "Oklahoma shipped out last year
25,000,000 bushels of wheat, CO,000
bales of cotton and a tremendous num-
ber of hogs, cattle, sheep and horses.
That does pretty well for a new coun-
try, eh? This year the prospects for a
yield of wheat are the best ever known.
Splendid rains have fallen, and the
ground could not be in better condition.
The acreage for this year is about four
times as great as it was in 97, and if
prices remain as good our people will
be on the pinnacle of prosperity. As
to statehood, the sentiment in Oklaho-
ma is just what it has been for a long
time; we are confident of our right to
ask admission as a state, for, as coin-
pared with several of recent* creation,
our claims are far superior, and yet we
do not think it advisable to press the
question until conditions favor tiie con-
solidation of both Oklahoma and the
Indian territory into one magnificent
state. All the argument of reason,
expediency, and good business sense
favor the establishment of a fcingle
commonwe \ltli."
hvery good law is a public confession
that society is not as good as it should
be.
