80 bushels of oats, or barley, 50 to 70
bushels of t orn, 300 to 500 bushels of
unions could be raised to an acre.
As to drouth—no such tbinff Is
known. The old cattle baron looks
on in wonder and surprise and says,
"I would never have thought farming
could be made to pay," but It does
pay Mr. Jones and Smith, our newly
acquired neighbors.
Today, Mr. Editor, our corn fields
are green as they were in Logan on
July 4th, and what cotton our Texas
man has planted looks well. But cot-
ton will give way for hogs and wheat,
and Roger Mills county will be in a
short time the banner county for
farming.
Again, fruit of all kinds grow to per-
fection.

REPORTS MISLEADING
Elk City, Okla., Aug. 27, 1903.
Editor State Capital:
I have recently been reading some
articles in your paper concerning
farming and orops in Oklahoma, and
the actions of our school land leasing
board with reference to the western
counties not being able to raise full
crops aud such rot
Now, Mr. Editor, I will venture the
assertions, and the facts will prove
them, that there will be more corn,
oats, and wheat raised to the acre in
Roger Mills aud Greer counties, than
in Oklahoma and Logan, according to
the acreage sown. It has been only
three years, that the people of Roger
Mills have tried to farm. Before that
the lands were considered by the cat-
tle barons as wholly unfit for farming,
and the stockmen would go down to
Oklahoma City, Guthrie and other
eastern points and tell how dry and
arid wan the western tier of countie.s
In Oklahoma, and their hearers were
silly enough to believe their twaddle.
But about three years ago a new
era dawned upon our fair land, and the
Northman came down and began farm-
ing the soil In an industrious manner,
and soon the facia were developed that*
In the fartherst portion of Oklahoma
(in Egypt Greer and Roger Mills
<-ouaty>) farming could b« made a

South McAlester, I. T., Aug. 27—"Let
the Indian and non-citizen of the In-
dian Territory unite their energies and
begin at once to create a sentiment for
Independent atatehood that will not go
down until the star of Jefferson is ad-
ded to the union."
The abbve ringing and patriotic ap-
peal is printed on top of stationery
prepared for the use of the executive
committee of the "Independent State-
hood for the Five Civilized Tribes."
This committee which was appointed
by the Independent statehood conven-
tion held last May at Eufaula is com-
posed of the following well known cit-
izens: W. H. Ansley, chairman. Choc-
taw nation: Alex Posey, Creek Nation;
W. H. Murry, Chickasaw Nation; A. J.
Brown. Seminole Nation; Connell Ro-
gers, Crerokee Nation.
A meeting of the committee was held
in this city yesterday afternoon in the
office of the chairman to discuss the
work in hund and to make planx for its
prosecution in accordance with the res-
olutions of the convention. All the
members were present except A. J.
Brown, who 'vas unable to attend. Gov.
Porter, of Ihe Creek Nation, was pres-
ent as a guest and advisor and the
plans for independent statehood were
gqne over in detail and from noW on
thf? office of the chairman will be a
scene of activity which 111 end only
when the "Star of Jefferson is added to
the flag of our country." This com-
mittee is not doing much talking but it
is doing a whole lot of work.

Chicago, Aug. 27.—At midnight a fire
started in the freight house of the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific rail-
road. situated at Polk and Sherman
streets. The flames had secured quite
a start when discovered and by the
time the first engine arrived the build-
ing. which is 250 feet long and two
stories high, was a mass of flames.
The firemen from the first had little
hope of saving the structure or any of
Its contents. The loss was principally
on outgoing freight, and is estimated
at $500,000.
