Texas Commissioner Says Farmers
Know When to Sell Cotton
AUSTIN, TEX,: Colonel E. S.
Peters, in the n'lte of the Texas Cot-
ton Raisers' ESsoea'lon, h s written
a letter to W. J. Clay, commissioner
of insurance, agriculture, etc., asking
that off'eisl to write rn open le'ter to
the cotton raise-s of Texas ad is n?
them to hold their cotton until the
market pays at Lact ten cents per
pound for the fl e y stnp'e. The
letter is identical with the ono read
at the recent meet'ng of the southern
agricultural commissioners, at which
tirre it wns stated that the c mail ■
siocev of Geo gia had c m: lied with
the request atul published a letter to
the farmers of that state telling them
to hold their cotton tor ten cents or
better.
Commissioner Clay has fled the let-
ter, but will nrt com ly wi h the re-
quest made ther en, believing that the
farmers of Texas arc iatel'igent i
enough to know when the market will ;
g've them satisfartory prices. Hij
does not care to advise the farme-s
to hold the'r cotton, thereby predict-
ing that the market will go to a cer
t in pri-e, or that in the event It
should fall, and he does not claim to
know whether it will riso or fal', then

WANTS EVEN START
Creeks Want President to Extend
Clemency Before Dissolution
MUSKOGEE: The Creek council,
sitting at Okmugee, passed a resolu-
tion praying that the president extend
clemency to Creek citizens who are
serving terms In prison for any of-
fense, before tribal relations are dis-
solved.
It is the desire among many of the
leading Indians in the Creek nation
that Creek prisoners be released in
190G or their terms shortened so that
they may be given ^n opportunity to
start all over again under the new
conditions that will then exist. The
, . ...... ,, . . advocates of this plan say that be-
money and the annoyance of the Iruts of the crop is yet in the ft 11 and th(, a(Jvent of tho whlte man

Rue that many of the crimes and of-

RAT BISCUIT KILLED HIM
Frisco Agent at Poteau, I. T., Thought
They Were Crackers
SOUTH MCALESTER: A telegram
from Poteau announced tho death ol
James Lord, the Frisco agent, under
inculiar circumstances. A consign-1
ment of crackers was received there
by freight and the corner of the bot-
tom of one box was broken off, spill-
ing some of the crackers on the floor.
Mr. Lord ate one of tho crackers and
was thown into a spasm. He died be
fore physicians could arrive. Ait in- j
vest'ga'ian showed that the crackers
had been prepnred hs rat exteririn-1
ators. The pastehoTd box in which
the crackers had been placed had been
marked poison, but there was no
mark on the individual crackers to
distinguish them from tho ordinary
kind.
