LAND VALUES, RENTALS

OKLAHOMA LEADS IN CORN
Returns According to Federal Re
port Greater Than From High
Priced Wheat Lands in Other
States - Corn Lands . Exceed
Any State in Union
The United States Department of Ag-
riculture, through its statistical bureau,
has recently made an investigation of
the average vuluo of wheat and corn
lands and the rental or interest returns
received therefrom. The report on this
subject forms a very interesting table
In the August number of the Crop He-
porter.
From this table we take the following,
showing the average for the United
States and the figures for Oklahoma in
comparison.
U. S. Okl
Average \aluc of wheat land per acre
544.00 *28.'
Average rental or interest
bearing value 2.91 2.!
Percentage rental to land
value 6.9 9.
Average value of corn land
per acre 48.00 27.1
Average rental or interest
bearing value 3.32 2.'
Percentage rental to land
value 8.4 , 10.;
It will be noted that while the valuo
of both wheat and corn lands in Okla
homa is considerably less than the aver
age for the United States, and the ren-
tal returns are also less, the percentage
of returns to the land values is much
larger in Oklahoma than in the United
States, showing that the Oklahoma land
offers a more profitable Investment than
those of most of the states.
The following table shows the average
f rental returns for corn and wheat lands
for the various sections of the country:
Wheat Corn
North Atlantic Stntes 1.1 0.1
South Atlantic States 8.9
North Central east of the
Mississippi river 6.8
North Central west of the
Mississippi river 6.5
South Central States 9.2
Far Western States 7.7 7.6
Oklahoma is in the South Central di-
vision of states, and her percentage
rental returns la but slightly below the
average for that section. In the percent
:<ge of returns from wheat lands she
stands 7th of all the states and in the
percentage of returns from wheat land
in Oklahoma are larger In proportion to
the land value than in the great wheat
Mates of Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Illi-
nois, and many others; while the inter-
est returns from corn land exceed in
proportion those of any of the great
corn states.
The natural conclusion to be drawn
from an analysis of this report is that
money invested in Oklahoma laml will
yield a better interest return than tha
Invested in the higher-priced land o
most of the older statos.

CREW OF 30 FIRE FIGHTERS
BELIEVED TO BE DEAD.
SPOKANE, Aug. 22.—Thirty men out
of a crew of 47 fire fighters, in charge
of Forest Ranger Lee llollingshead, are
missing and are believed to have perish-
ed Saturday night when their camp on
Big Creek, a tributary of tbe St Joe
river, sixteen miles from Avery, Idaho,
was swept by flames.
This word was brought to Spokane to-
dny by W. D. McLellan, a newspaper
photographer McLellan was one of the
relief party which made the trip to Rig
Crook Sunday to rescue survivors.
According to the seventeen survivors
who reached Avery, the fire came upon
them while they were sleeping and they
were quickly surrounded by flames. Lit-
tle hope is entertained by the seventeen
that their more unfortunate companions
survived.
At least five are dead now at New-
port. Washington. Several persons were
rendered insane, and the fire Is stll!

Homesteaders Burned Out.
The St Joe and St. Marie valley*,
in the heart of the richest timber belt
in the United States are being swept
by flames.
Already 100 homesteaders hove been
burned out. Five hundred men are
fighting the blaze and St. .Toe river
steamboats are kept with steam up
ready to take the people to safety should
the situation demand it. A special to
the Spokane Review from St. Joe, Ida-
ho, says:
Six members of the fire patrol gang of
26 men have been found dead In Ftit
Prairie and Avery The other twenty
are missing and probably will never be
found.
The fires are now raging between St.
Maries and St. Joe and have reached
a point six miles west of St. Joe. The
wind is blowing hard and the fire is
gaining rapidly and immense cinders
are falling in the streets of St. Joseph.
The fires are more than a mile wide
and are raging on both sides of the river.
The whole country north of St Joe
over the divide and in the Nature Creek
district is ablaze.
Report Remarkable Escape.
From the Trout Creek region, eight
miles east of here, two travelers who
had a remarkable escape from death,
arrived this morning For two days
those men lay In the creek, their heads
under water except when they were
compelled to breathe, fire raging on both
sides of the creek.
The hospital at St. .Toe ts filled with
refugees, some of whom are suffering
from injuries and burns. There are be-
tween 75 and 100 refugees In St. Joe to-
day.

Haskell point to a single publication In
the state which has even intimated that

"The fact is that Haskell takes himseli
seriously and no one else does. The
people of the state expect him to mak
just such statements. He has been doing
bo for the past three years and in (
case time has demonstrated that he is
the greatest failure at stating facts, in

or not."

What Murray Charged.
On July 16. William H. Murray, candi-

the democratic tir-ket made the following
(barges against Branson to the secretary
of the state election board:

dent and happy The campaign for the
nomination was a strenuous one, but he
emerged from it in good fighting trim
to make another campaign still more
strenuous. He says the Republicans
will carry the state tills fall by 26,000.
With such men as Joe McNeal in charge
of the affairs in this state, the taxpay-
ers can rest assured that their Interests
will be protected.
The"gang" had better "graft and

January, for this will be their last
chance at the "pie counter."

What occurred then?
Bill Murray wrote another letter, thta
time to the governor and in it he said:
Frame Up Against Murray.
"Permit me to give, in detail the
plan proposed by Mr. Cruce's man-
agers, and In which I repeat again, !
Mr. Branson, as a memfoer of the
state election board, has lent his as-
sistance, using his position as chair-
man of the party, of tho executive
committee, to aid in this deal. The
said plan is "ot to 'count out' dl-
reetly nor to 'count In' directly either
In the stale boanl or in the county
boards. The counting out plan it
based upon the proposition of 'mu-
tilated ballots.' The first proposition
Is to secure the appointment of as
many county election boards exclu-
sively ciuce men as possible, who will
appoint in each and every voting
precinct Cruce men as election offi-
cers, and in all votling boxes, or pre-
i In ti-, exclusively in the control of
Cruce men they are to mutilate as
many Murray ballots as possible so
as not to create suspicion and then
under the law co. nt these mutilated
ballots out, which, of course would be
confirmed by the county election
board whether the said county board
were Cruce men or not."
"Was Branson removed after this di-
