Miller purchased a carload of oil from
a Wichita wholecle house. The Wichita
concern advised him that the oil did not
have to be Inspected when brought to
Oklahoma, so Mr. Ashton states. The
car load consisted of sixty barrels, and
32 barrels had been sold at wholesale
and retail when the Inspector reached
Shattuck. Mr. Ashton forbid him from
sr-lling the remaining 28 barrels.
"There seems to be a disposition on

Hon. Jesse Dunn; of Alva, chairman
of the Democratic territorial central
committee, was in the city t xlay on
legal business.
"It plea.ses me," remarked Mr. Dunn,
"to note harmony existing in Df\mo-
cratic ranks throughout tho territory.
Five or six counties have arranged for
banquets, primaries, etc., and every-
thing points to the getting toegther of
the boys."
"How do you feel relative to state-
hood?" Mr. Dunn was asked.
"The statehood bill in mv opinion j
will* pass. I believe an enabling a<!t
will be a certainty by March 20. Ari-
zona ;ind New Mexico will be cut off,
and should a flglit ensue on the pro-
vision for Oklahoma and Indian Ter- j sura nee agent, is moving

priations bill will carry a statehood
clause. The Democracy of both Okla-
homa and Indian Territory is awake
and will remain in that delightful con-
dition for evermore.
"As soon as the bill is enacted T
shall communicate with the Indian Ter-
ritory organization lcoking to a meet-
ing of the joint state committees."
Jesse Dunn Is one of the brightest
and most zealous lawyers in the terri-
tory. His brain is a seething vat of
information. His recent paper on
"Lincoln/" clearly proves hit? scholarly
attainments. It is no wild guess to
say that with the coming of the new
state, Mr. Dunn will easily and natur-
ally drift into an honored place on the
supreme bench.
