THE GAME WARDEN
- MAKES UNIQUE REPT
Makes Valuable Contribution
Wild Life Literature
of State
to
Verses by a native Creek Indian
poet tales of adventure from the
bunting grounds of the State beau
tiful engravings of game animals
game biras fish and fiahermenhunting
and hunters streams wild flowers and
even wild honey an historical survey
of wild animal life common to the
State a description of the present
status of its wild life and always an
appeal for the better protection of the
useful birds and the useful wild animals
of the State — all these things are em
braced in a most unusual publication by
John B Doolin the Oklahoma State
Game and Fish Warden It is as inter-
esting as a romance
The book is Warden Doolin's annual
report to the Governor In form and con
tents however the report bears only
the slightest resemblance to the usual
departmental record
There are few statistics As far as
possible it contains only such material
as will provoke stronger public inteiest
in outdoor lifa and in the creatures that
live outdoors The scope of the book
is indicated in its title— "Field Forest
and Streams in Oklahoma” It ia not
believed that the Game Warden of any
other state has ever published a report
of this kind The book is beautifully
printed and bound the paper ia of the
finest quality and the margins are wide
And artistically1 balanced The edition
practically baa been exhausted ao eager
were book lovers and nature lovers to
secure a copy of the report for their li-
braries “In this publication” said Warden
Doolin “my purpose has been to produce
something of permanent and artistic
value in the literature of wild life in
Oklahoma It would have been far
easier to publish the usual kind of report-lifeless
hackneyed and uninterest-
ing and to be thrown aside without its
being read I am hopeful that my new
form of report will be so attractive as
to stir the people of Oklahoma to a bet-
ter understanding of the value of our
wild life and move them to a strong-
er and more united effort to preserve it
from the ruthless destruction with
which it is threatened
“There never was a more pathetic
tragedy than this slaughter of the weak
and helpless creatures Oklahoma has a
rich and varied wild life which it
possible to save”
Crops East of City Look
Well Dust Method
Reports reach this office to the effect
that growing crops out east of Miami
are looking fine never better and ao
far have not been hurt by the drought
or hot winds There are great fields
of corn rapidly approaching maturity
that have not been stunted in the least
and are entirely free from sun scorched
tops too frequently seen in fields on
the uplands of other sections of the
country
Corn kafir cowpeas and millet are
the principal crops out east of town
that have not yet been made but
which seem to be doing well and giving
great promise of maturity into a fine
yield The soil contains plenty of
moisture just beneath the surface The
duet method of cultivation has been
adopted by the more advanced farmers
of that section

Washington — Martin M Mulhall
Held agent strike breaker lobbyist
and political worker for the National
Manufacturers’ Association told bis
remarkable story before the senate
lobby investigation committee Mul-
hall was on the stand for several days
In that time nearly 600 letters tele-
grams and scraps of memoranda were
identified by him with- hardly more
than a glance He remembered ap-
parently the first names of members
of congress of lesser politicians of
labor leaders and underlings of secre-
taries to congressmen and all the men
be had worked with through a year of
most active campaigning in many
parts of the country His perform-
ance seemed so remarkable to law-
yers present that they sat all through
a long day Intently watching the wit-
ness and listening to the tales closely
and every word that the witness ut-
tered in the brief examination that
accompanied some of them
Mulball’s correspondence told of the
efforts to re-elect former Congress-
man Littlefield of Maine and defeat
the present representative from that
district Daniel J McGilllcuddy Lit-
tlefield was to be supported by the
National Manufacturers' Association
because of bis stand against labor
legislation Mulhall said on cross-examination
that $60000 was spent in
that campaign
Mulball’s letters went into detail
concerning the campaign he made In
Maryland to beat former Congressman
Pearre of Cumberland Pearre was
the author of an "injunction bill” and
Mulhall and other agents went out to
get his political scalp
Some of the letters read showed that
Mulhall bad been known to the late
Vice President James S 'Sherman
who In 1907 wag chairman of the na-
tional republican congressional com-
mittee '
On July 2 Mr Sherman on letter
paper of the republican committee
wrote Mulhall as follows:
"My Dear Colonel:
‘I am glad that you still are Inter-
ested In political as well as economic
work and 4 am glad to bespeak for
you to our friends a cordial reception
"While you are not employed by
the republican congressional commit-
tee ner were yon employed during the
laat campaign you did render us very
material assistance and I found you
at all times reliable trustworthy and
effective”
Arbitration In Sight
Washington — Representatives of
the 80000 conductors and trainmen of
eastern railways who have voted to
strike for higher wages and manag-
ing officers of the railroads agreed at
the White House to submit their dif-
ferences to arbitration under the pro-
visions of the Newlands-Clayton act
which President Wilson and congres-
sional leaders promised to make law
In the meantime no strike will be de-
clared officials of the employes’ broth-
erhoods agreeing to an armistice
This victory for arbitration over the
strike- was the result of a two-hour con-
ference at the White House between
President Wilson and congressional
leaders" both republicans and demo-
crats railroads and representatives
of the president and managers of the
brotherhoods of trainmen and conduc-
tors The agreement not only averted
temporarily at least the strike which
threatened to tie up railroad triffic
generally in the east but smoothed
out differences of opinion that bad
arisen in both bouses v

The state school laud commission
era ordered the sale of between
600000 and 600000 acres of new col
lege land located In the panhandle
section of the state which was in-
spected some time ago by the com
mlssloners The exact date of thp

fall to complete the preliminary plans
and get the- land ready to be placed
on the market — -

the state to the purchasers of the
land will not convey title to mineral
deposits valuable for mineral pur-

ney general has given an opinion in
which he holds that the state can not
give title to mineral deposits under
scool lands prior to 1916 and the land
will be sold with that agreement be-
tween the purchaser and the state

ried out will be held In Cimarron

250000 acres of common school land
of a better grade than the new col-
lege land located In the three coun
ties but this will not be placed ort
sale now It being the depire of the

Huerta on Demonstration
Against the American
Interests
Washington — Administration offi-
cials admit that the situation in Mex-
ico and diplomatic Inquiries over Eu-
rope as to what the attitude of 'this
country would be toward its neighbor
on the south are engaging their deep-
est attention
Secretary Bryan had a two-hour con-
ference' with President Wilson a'nd
while the Japanese question and de-
partmental appointments consumed
much of their time the foremost sub-
ject before them was the Mexican
problem It bad also been discussed
at length at the cabinet meeting
Mr Bryan declined to say what the
policy of the United States govern-
ment would be toward any European
representations but intimated that a
pronouncement on the situation blight
be expected In a short time It Is
known that the administration officials
have been continuously opposed to
recognition of the Huerta government
until elections were held and It has
been the belief that any future declar-
ation to theoreign powers would be
along the ltnes of the Latin-American
statement made by President Wilson
soon after be took office In this he
proclaimed that his administration
would seek a basis for intercourse
with Latin-American countries on the
principle that governments should be
set up on orderly processes and “not
upon arbitrary or Irregular force" He
also stated that the American govern-
ment "would prefer those who act in
the Interest of peace and honor who
protect private rights and respect the
restraints of constitutional provis-
ions” The restoration of tranquility at
least within the city of Guaymas prop-
er on the Paciflc-Mexican coast was
Indicated In a dispatch to the navy de-
partment from Admiral Cowles com-
manding the American squadron The

uated the city and the federal forces
