RESOLUTION.
Whereas, We, the Mayor and City
Council of the City of Enid, Garfield
county, State of Oklahoma, deem It
necessary to grade, pave, gutter, curb
drain and otherwise improve the fol-
lowing described streets, avenues
and public places, and parts of
streets, avenues and public places
with in the City of Knid, Garfield
eounty, State of Oklahoma, for which
it is necessary to levy a special tax
as provided by the laws of the State
of Oklahoma:
Therefore, ®e it Reserved By
the Mayor aud City Council of the
("Jity of Enid, Garfield county, state
of Oklahoma, that we do hereby de-
clare tt necessary to grade, pave,
gutter, curb, drain and otherwise
improvo all the following described
streets, avenues and public places
and parts of streets, avenues and
public places in the said City of
Enid, Garfield county, State of Ok-
lahoma, to-wit:
Randolph Avenue from the East
lino of Grand .Wenue to the East
line of East Railroad Avenue.
And be It further Resolved that
this Resolution be published as re-
quired by law, and that unless suf-
ficient protest be tiled with the City

work be done and said public im-
provements made.
Section 2. For the preservation
of public peace, health and safety an
emergency is hereby declared to ex-
ist and this resolution shall take
effect upon its passage and approval.
The reasons why an emergency ex-
ists, and that this resolution should
become immediately operative arc
that the streets proposed to be grad-
ed, drained and pavsd, are in their
present condition dangerous to trav-
el; Stagnant water collects and
stands thereon endangering and
damaging the health of the commun-
ity which evils demands Immediate
correction; and the city has no rove-
venue or sources of revenue, that It
can use to correct the conditions ex-
isting other than by proceeding un-
der the act of the legislature au-
thorizing grading, draining, and pav-
ing said streets.

school funds under the state demo-1
jcratio administration, the cost of ad-
ministering this department will be
not less than . .1G5,000.01) or prac-
tically 4 5 per cent of the entire in-
I come. The reason Is very easily ex-
plained.
The republican territorial admin-!
istration had six office employees 1
and never more than twelve men on
the road, and the democratic admin-
week C'.owrnor Haskell made Borne latratlon has 33 office employees and
statements*about the handling of the
school fund of Oklahoma, which
were very misleading. Iir the inter-
est of correct Informatlin on the
subject the followng facts and figures
are given.
Under what was known as the
Morrill Act, there was set apart and
donated by the I'nited States to the
state of Oklahoma, School Lands and
Public Lands as follows:
Acres
1.413,803
:!22,007
Common school land .
College land
Public building lands
102 road men, or more than seven
times as many employees to handle
practically the same funds.
Under the democratic administra-
tion. this department has its own
auditor who audits the accounts of
the department, and 110 one has any
supervision or check over this depart-
ment outside of the members of the
department.

In addition to this grant of land,
the state was given $5,000,000.00, in
place of public lands in what was In-
dian Territory. The rental and sale
of these indemnity lands and the
handling of this $5,000,000.00 per-
manent fund Is a sacred trust Im-
posed in the state administraton of
the state of Oklahoma by the national
government for the benefit of this
and coining gbneratlons of school
children, and should be treated by
all administrations as a sacred trust,
and should be handled for the ben-
efit. of the school children of the
state, and not used to build up a po-
litical machine and to furnish places
for pollteal h -'lers at enormous sal-
aries.
In Oklahoma territory, under the
republican administration of affairs,
the school land department was un-
der the Immediate supervision of the
governor and its accounts were audit-
ed by the territorial auditor. The
net cost of administering the affairs
of this department under the repub-
lican territorial administration never
exceeded $25,000.00 In any one year.
I Section 1. House BUI 8, Chapter
The Statutes of Oklahoma provide:
76. "That the commissioners of the
land office consisting of the gover-
nor, secretary of state, state auditor,
superintendent of public instruction,
and the president of the board of
agriculture, and they are;hereby au-
thorized and empowered to manage,
loan and Invest and deposit the per-
manent school fundB donated to the
State of Oklahoma by the congress
of the United States, arising from the
sale of land from other sources."
' Section 4. The commissioners
of the land office may appoint such
assistants and incur such expenses as
are necessary in the management of
such property and funds and shall
pay such expenses out of the Income
of the school lands."
By these sections of the law. It will
bo Been that the school land depart-
ment is an Independent department,
and the commissioners of the land of-
fice, if necessary In their judgment,
may use the entire funds derived
from the leasing of these lands or the
loaning of the $5,000,000.00 In pay-
ing the expenses of administering
this department of the state govern
ment.
I On January 26, 1907. the total
amount of income in 1906 turned
over to the state treasurer by Secre-
tary Wennery of the school land de
partment was $390,879.19. The cost
of administering this department
during that year was about 6 per
cent of the funds realized, t'nder
The democratic party pledged it-
self to the sale of the school lands,
and pledged itself to the passage of
an act providing for the sale of these
lands at the first session of the leg-
islature, but Instead of doing so,
they have utterly failed to redeem
their campaign pledges, and have|
turned these funds over to a band of
I>olltIcians to be looted as far as pos-1
Bible before their control is taken,
out. of the hands of this administra-
tion.

HOG ARRESTED ON CHARGE
OF DISORDERLY CONDUCT
Spokane, Wash., Oct. n.—What
gives promise of rivalling the famous
alf case of legal history, has just
developed in the Nez Perce precinct
in northern Idaho, where Justice of
the Peace H. II. Pogue issued a war-
rant for the arrest of a hog belong-
ing to J. M. Johnson, charging the
porker with disorderly conduct upon
complaint of Jacob Morey, a neigh-
bor. The constable to whom the
warrant was delivered, refused to
make the arrest, and Morey killed the
pig. Morey alleged In his complaint
that the hog broke through his fen-]"
ces and destroyed the crops. John- j *
son was successful in having the case j
arried to the court at Vollmer, Ida- *
ho, where Morey obtained the ver-
diet. The justice at Vollmer decld- j +
d th'H Johnson pay a fine of $1 and I
$60 costs, and he has appealed to I
the district court, where a lively le- ♦
gal battle will be fought. The value j —
of the hog is estimated to be worth «
from $6 t $8. There is also on *
talk of proceeding against the on-1J
stable for refusing to do his dutvj*
in serving the warrant upon the pig. X
