PERRY MAN
IS INVITED
W. T. Little Will Read Paper
Before Irrigation Congress
TREES HIS SUBJECT
Interest in the Irrigation Congress
Is Taking Hold of the People
of Oklahoma and Some
Results Are Expected
Special Dispatch to the State Capital.
Perry, Okla., Sept. 21.—Hon. W. T.
Little of this city will present a pa-
per on forestry atr the irrigation con-
gress in El Paso In November, He has
been invited to do so by Clifford Pin-
chot of the department of agriculture.
This congress will visit the various
systems of irrigation through Califor-
nia New Mexico, Arizona and Old
Mexico seeking information as to the
progress and its results obtained.
The unexpended portion of the
000,000 apropriation will be used
vinder the suggestions of this body,
for irrigating the western country.
Gilford Pinchot, forester of the United
States government is preparing a pro-
gram of addresses to be used at the
El Paso meeting. He has just written
Will T. Little saying that "on account
of your very interesting experience in
tree planting in Oklahoma, may I ask
if you v/ould be willing to present a
paper on the subject?"
Mr. Pinchot was the main factor of
the American Forestry Association
when Mr. Little as its Oklahoma vice-
president, read a paper before its
'international meeting during the
Omaha exposition. He is the gov-
ernment's principal adviser In matters
pertaining to both forestry and irri-
gation. It is a compliment to the city
of Perry to be the only town in the
territory that ever had a chance for a
jrnper before either of the above or-
ganizations. Mr. Little will accept
the invitation and we are certain
that there is no man in the territory
more able to discuss the subject as-
signed to him than he is.
It has long been a question as to
■whether Oklahoma needed irrigation.
Those on the east side say that it
could be used beneficially on the
drought stricken regions of the west.
Others say that to ask for it would be
an admission that our rainfall is in-
sufficient to raise crops all over the
territory. That the little good is
done by it in the west would not offset
the damage done as a knock against
the great eastern portion that does not
really need it. Be that as it may, It
would be well for those on the west
Bide to consider the matter and if they
• desire a part of the $26,000,000 appro-
priation for experimental purposes to
correspond wtih Mr. Little, who cer-
tainly can do some good in having*
Mr. Pinchot give some attention to
Oklahoma.

Special Dispatch to the Slate Capital.
Oklahoma City, Sept. 21.—Hon. H.
Waragai traveling representative of
Mitsui and Co., commercial house of
Tokio, Japan, on being interviewed by
a representative of tho State Capital
gave the following reasons why Japan
would win the war in the east:
"The battle of Liao Yang showed
that the entire Russian force numbered
250,0000 men. That it took Russia six
months to bring 100,000 men to Man-
churia. The railroad facilities are very
bad and the cost is enormous., That
transportation is difficult in winter. It
costs Russia fifteen times as much to
transport a soldier as It does Japan.
It costs equally as much to feed them.
Japan has control of the sea and holds
the important ports ojf Dalny aifd
New Chwang. Both ports are connect-
ed by railroads to the field of opera-
tions. Japan is near the base and
has the transports to carry the sol-
diers and plenty of provisions."
He pointed with ppide to the fact
that the Japs have always been the at-
tacking party, while the Russians are
satisfied to defend. The marksmanship,
patriotism and Intelligence of the Japs
surpasses the Russians. After the
Japs have driven the Russians out of
Manchuria they will entrench and
make the Russians do the attacking,
her home southwest of l«ock, this county
last Wednesday. Mrs. T. B. Hyde was
stricken with paralysis, from the effects of
which she died Thursday morning, with-
out regaining consciousness. Mr. Hyde
and daughters were down in Texas, and
arrived home soon after her death.
Good Citizenship Movement.
Special Dispatch to the State Capital.
Perry. Sept. 21-All summer the Perry
churches have held union Sunday night
services. These meetings have been a
crusade against desecration of the I/ird's
day. The sentiment for Sunday closing of
places of business is strong, and the busi-
ness men are observing the sentiment.
There Is now a Good Citizenship associa-
tion with 143 members. Permanent offi-
cers will bo selected In a few days.

Shawnee, Sept. 21.—Lithla Johnson,
colored woman, living In the south part

evening while lighting a. lamp. Some one

line on the floor near by, and she accine
ally dropped a match and caused the ex-
plosion.

cently near Pauls Valley. Judge Robnett

take 700,000 Russians to drive them
out, and he claims that they will be
unable to make that concentration.
Waragai points with pride to the
fact that tire* statistics show that 98
per cent of the Japanese can read and
write, while Russia has only 36 per
cent that can read and write. He says
it is not necessary to take Port Ar-
thur as the Russian fleet is reduced^o
nothing. The Russians have been dri-
ven out of Manchuria and cannot ren-
der any aid to Port Arthur. Mr. War-
agai says the Japanese idolize the
Americans and#that thensame feeling
exists all over the empire.

COTTON WORM.
Special Dispatch to the State Capital.
Oklahoma Citjt0Sept. 21.—From dif-
ferentials of the territory and es-
pecially where cotton is being raised
come reports of damage done by what
is suposed to be the boll weevil. In
fact it has been given out that the in-
sect was the true boll weevil and
remedies for killing boll weevil have
been applied with no ^access. W. H.
Halcomb, a farmer Jiving near Gyp,
in the western part of the territory
says that the worm is not boll weevil

The Children Enjoy
Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoyment
which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the greater part of that
healthf i development which to so essential tOb their happiness when grown. When
a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and
strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, shouldbe such as physicians would
sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy
iuelf free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and
parents, well-informed, 'approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy"?
because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is Syrup
of Tigs and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by
fathers and mothers.
Syrup of Figs is Jhe only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally
without griping, irritating, or nauseating and^hich cleanses the system effectually,
without producing that constipated habit which results from the^use of the old-
time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so
carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood,
strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are notw
need«d, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only
the simple, pleasant and gentle— Svrup of Figs. • •
Its quality is due not onlytto'he excellence of the combination the laxative
principles ef plants with pleasant aromatic syrifps andijuices, but also to our
original Method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do
not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous dealers sometimes offer to
increase their profits. Please to remember, the full name of the Company

effects it is always neces-

Columbus, Ohio, May 19, 1903.
Some four years ago I was suffering ,
from impure blood .and a general run- j
down condition of the system I had no
appetite, was losing flesh, and had an all-
cone tired feeling that made me misera-
ble. I began the use of S . S. S., and
after taking seven or eight l>otties my skin j
was cleared of all eruptions and took on a
ruddy, healthy glow that assured mcthat!
my blood had been restored to its nor<
mal, healthy condition. My appetite was
restored, as I could eat anything put be-
fore me, and as I regained my appetite
I increased in weight, and that "tired feel-
ing" which worried me so much disap-
peared, and I wa9 once again my old self.
I heartily recommend S. S. S. as the
best blood purifier and tonic made, and
strongly advise its use to all those in need
of such medicine. Victor Stubbins.

My system was rundown and my joints
ached and pained me considerably. I had
used S. S. S. before and knew what it,
was, so I purchased a bottle of it and have
taken several bottles and the aches and
pains are gone, my blood has been cleas-
ed and ray general health built up. I can
testify to it as a blood purifier and tonic.

remedy used on boll weevil. He says
the insect is the common cotton worm
and is the same that eats the ends of
green corn. He says the insect has
been working in the cotton for many
years and is not near so destructive
as the weevil. However, he thinks
it is only a matter of time until the
weevil reaches this part of the country,
but Is of the opinion thai it will not
cause the damage here that it does in
other places as the farmers could raise
other crops until the weevil was starv-
ed out.
