CHIEF ROGERS.
The returns from one of the
most closely contested elections in
the annals of the Cherokee nation
proclaim the election of William
C. Rogers to the chieftaincy by a
close but safe majority. More-
over both branches of the Chero-
kee legislative body chosen at the
same election is in party accord
with Chief Rogers, a circumstance
which augers well for the future
of the tribe. Mr. Rogers was the
nominee of the Downing or pro-
gressive party, which is commit-
ted to the policy of equal rights to
all Cherokee citizens, the speedy
allotment of the tribal domain,
and expeditiousness in the settle-
ment of the Cherokee estate.
William C. Rogers is a Chero-
kee citizen by blood, the descend-
ant of a family famous in the his-
tory and affairs of the tribe from
the American Revolution to the
present day. He has before been
honored by his tribesmen in po-
sitions of official trust and respon-
sibility, and it is said of him that
a dirty dollar never found its way
into his hand. He is a man of
pleasing personality and fine social
qualities. Educated, intelligent
and possessed of fine business abil-
ity he will prove an ideal chief
executive. Mr. Rogers is exten-
sively engaging in merchandising
and cattle grazing and is accounted
the possessor of much wealth,
every dollar of which he came by
honestly. He has the friendship
of his neighbors and the respect
and confidence of all who know
him. He will go down in history
as the last chief of the Cherokees,
whose established government an-
tedates the founding of the Amer-
ican Republic. With the ending
of his term of office in 1906 the
Cherokee government will also
cease to exist.
end to the other. It is a very un-
wise policy which keeps the town
in darkness.
The Jett-White proceedings in
that Kentucky feud trial are
strangely tinted with carmine.
Professor Lanoi.ey's air ship
appears to be a thorough success,
except in one respect. It doesn't
fly- —
Cuba is said to have got back
her Isle of Pines, but there is still
some doubt as to whether she
really owns herself or not.
It is gratifying to know that
Chief Milk of the Brule Sioux will
not be succeeded by Corn Juice,
but that his high office will be con-
ducted by Good Kane Milk.
The late Cassius Marcellus Clay
is set down as having been "of the
stuff of which heroes are made."
He was also of the stuff that
makes a great deal of trouble.
A good deal of space in the news-
papers is devoted to telling about
the president's trips on horseback.
General Miles' performance has
evidently had a stimulating effect.

PIf any" -.'other1 iTerritory town
than Bartlesvillejhad the available
supply of natural gas that Bartles-
ville has that town would certainly
employ the same in illuminating
its darkened streets and alleys,
especially when the illuminant is
offered absolutely free. Every
s trailger who stops over night in
this'townjinquires why the streets
are not lighted if there is such a
boundless supply of cheap gas at
hand, and not a few visitors to
Bartlesville pass contemptuous
criticism upon the quality of en-
terprise displayed by the town in
its failure to use the gas which is
as free as the water that flows
down the river. Well lighted
streets would in a measure offset
the disadvantage resulting from a
lack of sidewalks. Fifty flambeau
burners could be distributed over
the city at a cost not exceeding
two dollars each, and the good ad-
vertising Bartlesville would re-
ceive therefrom would repay the
outlay many times over. Let us
light up. Mr. Harrold D. Lan-
nom, who has a gas well inside
the city limits which produces be-
tween two and three million cubic
feet of natural gas every twenty-
four hours, generously tenders
the city the product of the same
for illuminating the streets. But
this is not necessary. Under its
contract with the city the Bartles-
ville Oil and Gas company stands
ready to Bupply the city, abso-
lutely free of cost, sufficient gas
