Span ish-Amerlcan War Boys Plan to
Win Next National Convention
Oklahoma City, Okla.—With over
six hundred members of the organiza-
tion in the state and from two to
three thousand men all told who were
•nllsted in the recent war, Oklahoma
will play a prominent role at the Sev-
enth National encampment of the
Spanish war veterans In Denver, Sep-
tember 6, 7 and 8.
It is claimed by members of the or-
ganization that this state furnished
as many recruits for the struggle as
any in the union, while the fact that
It had more Rough Riders than any
other is undisputed. From city,
ranch and farm the skilled horsemen
flocked to serve under Col. Roosevelt
and from their homes in every sec-
tion of Oklahoma these veterans will
assemble once more to journey to
Denver and meet their old commander
who #vlll take a leading part in the
convention and be a candidate for
the office of grand commander.
The Rough Riders form only a
■mall part of the number who an-
swered the call for volunteers from
Oklahoma or enlisted from other
states and have since settled here.
This state organization is recognized
as one of the very strongest in the
ranks of the Spanish war veterans as
is evident from the fact that the last
national assembly elected Dr. T. A.
Myers of Oklahoma City chaplain *n
chief, one of the highest offices on
the national roster.
Wearing uniforms and bearing their
old flags the Oklahoma contingent
will depart for the convention where
they will ask that the next annual en-
campment come to Oklahoma City,
the metropolis of the state that sent
so many men into the Spanish-Amer-
lcan war.
Special train service has been ar-
ranged for by John Meyer, the de-
partment commander of Oklahoma,
via the "Katy" to Kansas City, and
from there over the Santa Fe to Den-
ver. It is expected that this state
will send a large delegation and Mr.
Meyer says that Oklahomans going to
Denver or the west who desire to Join
the party may do so.
Cattle in Osage Subject to Tax
Pawhuska, Okla.—District Judge
Shea has rendered an opinion which
holds that all cattle pastured in Osage
county between the first of March
and the first of September are sub-
ject to taxation, provided the cattle
had changed hands after having been
taxed elsewhere. For instance, if a
herd from Texas this year was as-
sessed In Texas but were sold after
being brought to Oklahoma the cattle
are again subject to taxation.
Society Man Accused of Robbery
Muskogee, Okla.—J. J. WThite, one
of Tulsa's young society men, was
placed In jail here by federal authori-
ties, charged with being one of the
men who robbed the postoffice at
Pryor Creek of $3,000 worth of stamps
and some money a month ago.
Boosting for Three New Railroads
Enid, Okla.—Three railroads into
Enid within the next year is the goal
Enid boosters are trying for. There
are two roads in actual construction,
and the other still a roseate proposi-
tion on blue print paper. In addition
to this local promoters are now In the

El Reno interurban and H. M. Spaul-
ding, banker and capitalist of North

Frederick, Okla.—Resulting frou a

C. Carter that an attempt would be
made to rob the bank of Hollister,

Thomas Gilliland and Frank Williams,

the bank.
Muskogee County Leads in Valuations
Guthrie, Okla.—With the exception
of Oklahoma county and Osage county,
in which lutter county thousands of
Indian allotments were made taxable
by removal of restrictions, Muskogee
county made by rar tlie greatest gains
in assessed valuation of real estate
and personal property last year. The
1910 returns for Muskogee county are
$31,444,280, against $24,998,131. Osage
county reports $17,364,805 for 1910,
against $6,000,180 for 1909. The only
possible competitor for Muskogee Is
Oklahoma City, which has not yet re-
ported. Of the other counties nearly
as many show decreases as Increases.
Garfield comes after Muskogee with
a gain of $2,250,000.
Million Bales of Cotton May Be Har-
vested This Year
Oklahoma City, Okla.—All indica-
tions point to a bumper cotton crop
throughout the state of Oklahoma this
year.
The acreage, compared with that of
last year, is about 20 per cent larger,
but there was a decrease in acreage
last year, as compared to the previous
year, so this year will be only a nor-
mal year as far as acreage is con-
cerned. The probable acreage this
year is 2,500,000.
There is no comparison between
this year's crop at this time and that
of last year—this year being far bet-
ter in acreage, quality and quantity.
Recent rains, which covered the en-
tire state, with the exception of two
or three counties in the extreme west-
ern part, have been decidedly benefi-
cial and with the steady warm
weather, without the hot winds, cot-
ton has grown exceptionally fast.
Dealers say if it does not rain an-
other drop until the first or middle of
August the crop still will be extra
good.
Last season Oklahoma raised on an
acreage of 1,767,000 only 573,000 bales,
which was comparatively a sm#ll crop.
The value of the crop was about $40,-
000,000. In 1908 on 2,310,000 acres,
Oklahoma raised 705,000 bales. In
1907, on 2,196,000 acres was raised
870,000 bales and in 1896 on 1,981,-
000 acres was raised 900,000, which
was the larges yield per acre produced
of any state in the union, being practi-
cally nine-tenths of a bale to the acre.
With perfect weather conditions Ok-
lahoma will this year produce about
1,000,000 bales and it will be worth
about $65,000,000. Seeds from the cot-
ton will reach $5,000,000. Seeds from
the cotton nowadays is becoming one
of the chief stock foods. Cattlemen
are feeding their winter cattle upon
it and it is also used for many other
purposes.
The cotton crop will be early this
season, starting about the middle or
latter part of September and continu-
ing until late in the winter.
The heaviest cotton producing sec-
tions In the state are In the south
and southwestern parts. The follow-
ing counties for the year 1907 proved
the best cotton sections: Beckham,
Caddo, Cleveland, Comanche, Garvin,
Greer, Jackson, Kiowa and Lincoln.
