ALASKA LANDS ARE WITHDRAWN
The President Will Permit No More
Entries Until Congress Can Give
the Matter Consideration.
Washington, D. C.—By order of
President Taft all the Alaska oil lands
are to be withdrawn from settlement,
thus putting them on the same footing
with the coal lands of Alaska; all of
which have been withdrawn with the
exception of those that were located
prior to 1906.
There are known areas of oil pro-
duction in Alaska but there has been
no survey so that these cannot be lo-
cated by definite withdrawals. Until
definite surveys can be made and dif-
ferent methods of disposition of both
oil and coal lands can be made the
president thinks it advisable to with-
draw them until congress can give the
subject consideation.

The disciples had accepted Jesus as
the Messiah and chosen the way
which led to the establishment of the
kingdom of God. But they were in the
meantime to endure great temptations
and difficulties; wars, famines, tribu-
lations, hatred, prisons, death, disas-
ters, earthquakes, pestilences, disci-
ples waxing cold, false prophets aris-
ing, stars falling, the sun darkened,
the moon turned into blood, the pow-
ers of heaven shaken, "such as had
not been from the beginning of the
world"—then, Christ says to his dis-
ciples, "when these things begin to
come to pass, then look up, and lift up
your heads; for your redemption draw -
eth nigh; it Is near even at the doors."
And he also adds, Watch therefore.
Bo ye also ready. For ye know not on
what day your Lord cometh.
The parable of the flg tree la a
beautiful illustration showing us that
while we cannot know when Christ Is
coming, we have warnings so as to be
on guard, as the first signs of spring
bid ub prepare for the summer. This
generation, that is while some who
were listening to him should still be
* alive, as he hlmBelf said.
The time to watch is at the begin-
ning of the course that leads to theBe
results. The day of judgment is the
end of the course; the choice lies at
the beginning.
Those really watched who bo fore-
saw the future and the true Ideal of
their lives, that from the beginning
they went on toward It by the only
path that led to it. They were faith-
ful in every duty. They served their
Lord by obedience. They resisted ev-
"ery temptation. Tbey were on their
guard against every wile of the devil.
•They were wide awake, with eyes
open to every opportunity, to the signs
of the times, to new ways and means,
and possibilities.
"Blessed is that servant, whom his
lord when he cometh shall find so do-
ing. Verily I say unto you, That he
shall make him ruler over all his
goods." To those who so watched was
entrusted the kingdom of heaven, for
themselves and for the world.
Those failed to watch who were so
absorbed in their own selfish pleas-
ures and gains that they neglected
their duties, forgot their Master's in-
terests, were eye-Bervantfc. This folly
was intensified by beginning "to eat
and drink with the drunfcen." They
took the road that led to destruction.
Rev. S. W. Hanks, a second or third
cousin of Abraham Lincora, years ago
devised a most vivid temperance lec-
ture called "The Black Valley Rail-
road," which he illustrated by a large
chart. It is given In a book called
"The Crystal River."
The Land of the Crystal River is
the land which all children euter when
they come into this world.
To live in the Land of the Crystal
River, the land of temperance, of self-
control, of good character, of highest
usefulness, of prosperity, of religion,
of heaven, Bhould be the hope and the
aim of everyone.
The Black Valley country is situat-
ed in an extensive lowland, lying be-
tween an elevated and extremely fer-
tile and beautiful region, called the
Land of the Crystal River, bounding
it upon its upper limits and a vast and
unexplored desert forming its lower
boundary. Vice and crime abound. In-
numerable drunkards and criminals
are found there. Prisons and poor
houses take the place of churches and
school houses.
The man in the conning tower at
the junction of the Black Valley rail-
road with the railroad to temperance,
would guide all youthful travelers to
the better way. He urges all to seek
the highest and best life.
We are building a house for our-
selves, a body in which we must live,
and a character in which our soul
must abide. God would have us pos-
sess a perfect body, and to put away
everything which Injures health, which
brings weakness or disease. He would
have us form a noble character of
which we will not be ashamed, which
will fit us for heaven and usefulness,
and the company of the good. We can-
not cheat God, but we can cheat our-
selves. By using strong drink to any
quantity whatever we are skimping,
degrading, making poor and weak the
house we have got to live In.
Every drunkard was once an Inno-
cent child. Every one was first a mod-
erate drinker. No one ever yet be-
came a drunkard who refused to touch
intoxicating drink. Not all who drink
moderately do become drunkards, but
no one ever became a drunkard who
did not flr3t drink moderately.
It is terrible to let a habit begin In
youth which will impel us to go on do-
ing wrong against reason, against the
power to help others, against love of
God, of man, and of country.
Bishop's Charges Crumble.
McAlester, Okla.—W. H. Chapp^U,
counsel for W. L. Bishop, the man who
recently preferred charges against th.'
Texas Building company and the sta e
board of affairs, withdrew all charges
but two and announced that he fully
exonerated the board. The other
charges involve the Texas company
with its constructing the state prison,
and assert that certain parts of the
work are faulty and that the plans and
specifications have been ignored. Th«
investigation proceeded on the two
charges. Bishop admitted that he
gained his information fiom idle talk
of convicts and com Id not produce wit-
nesses to substantiate his charges.
Baptist Convention.
Enid, Okla.—Beginning Tuesday,
Nov. 15, the and continuing until Fri-
day, the 18th, the Baptist church for
the state of Oklahoma will hold its
fifth annual general convention at
Enid. The meeting will be notable for
many reasons. Representatives from
117 churches and 30 associations in the
state will be present. A minimum of
attendance of messengers from these
several churches and associations will
be 650, while a large number of speak-
ers, laymen and speakers from abroad
will swell the number of visitors to
perhaps 1,200 or 1,500. Men of nation-
al reputation are scheduled to appear
on the program.
Irrigation Helps Out.
Buffalo. Okla.—Irrigation is being
taken up on an extensive scale in Har-
per county. Sales of the school lands
have developed that many costly irri-
gation plants have been built by
lessees, as well as by owners of deed
lands, and the most spirited bidding
was on watered tracts. About 20,000
acres are under irrigation in the
northwest part of the county and 20,'
000 are easily capable of. irrigation
from the Cimarron. The increase in
value of irrigated lands is estimated
by school land lessees' officials to be
100 per cent.
FROM AN
OPERATION
ByLydiaE.Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
1 •- De Forest, Wi3.—
"After an opera-
tion four years ago
I had, pains down-
ward in both sides,
backache, and a.
weakness. The doc-
tor wanted me to
have another opera-
tion. ItookLycfia E.
Pinkham's \egeta-
ble Compound and
I am entirely cured
my troubles."—
Mrs. Axjgxjste Vespekmann, De For-
est, Wisconsin.
Another Operation Avoided.
New Orleans, La.—"For years I suf-
fered from severe female troubles.
Finally I was confined to my bed and
the doctor said an operation was neces-
sary. I gave Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg-
etable Compound a trial first, and
was saved from an operation." —Mrs.
Lily Feyroux, 1111 Kerlerec St., New
Orleans, La.
Thirty years of unparalleled success
confirms the power of Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound to cure
female diseases. The great volume of
unsolicited testimony constantly pour-
ing in proves conclusively that Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound!#
a remarkable remedy for those dis-
tressing feminine ills from which so
many women suffer.

$5,000 Buried in River.
Kingfisher, Okla.—Somewhere In
the Washita river east of here there is
$5,000 in currency, believe postal in-
spectors, who investigated the loss of
the said money at lawton. In 1906
a package containing $5,000 was start-
ed from here to Chicago. On that day
a passenger train on the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific railway fell through
a trestle into the river near Kingfisher.
Recently an official of the postoffice
department visited at Lawton and de-
termined that the money left here.
He decided that it went into the wa-
ter with the express car.
Hence the Name.
Iu the service of a Baltimore fam-
ily is an old negro cook known as
A mi I Sally, and not the least of her
achievements is the preparation of sea
food.
In the kitchen one day Aunt Sally's
nephew, a nine-year-old lad from a
po'nt where crabs are seldom seen,
was watching in breathless Interest
the old lady's deviling of a dish of
such crustaceans.
"Aunty," said he, after much reflec-
tion upon this mysterious point, "does
debbil crabs come from de'dfebbil?"
"No, chile," promptly responded
Aunt Sally; "but dey is de debbil to
make."
Oil Deal Is Off.
Tulsa, Okla.—The contemplated pur-
chase of 2,000 acres of valuable oil
lands in the Glenn Pool field by the
wealthy Whitman Pieson interests of
England, fell through for want of the
necessary transportation facilities to
handle the immense production of the
property. The daily production of the
property exceeds 4,000 barrels, and the
purchase price would have been $1,-
750,000. Three representatives of the
Pieson syndicate, who spent two weeks
here working on the trade, have re-
turned to Washington, D. C,
With a Sour Laugh.
A Chicago editor has brought from
London an amusing story about Hum-
phry Ward.
" 'Humphry Ward," he said, wqs in
his bachelor days, a really well-known
art critic. But now!
"I met Humphry Ward at a dinner
in Sobo, and he said to me, with a
sour laugh:
When a girl wants to retire from
the world and be lost in oblivion, she
has to enter a nunnery. But a man,
to achieve the same end, need only
marry a famous woman.' "
Start on Federal Building.
Ground has been broken for Enid's
new government building. It will be
completed within eighteen months.
The building will be three stories
high, costing about $100,000, and will
be occupied by the postoffice depart-
ment, federal courts and other de-
partments of the United States now
located here.
A Sure Sign.
"I understand, Mr. Reuben," said
the visitor, "that your son is devoted
to the turf."
"Ya-as, I reckon he Is," said the old
man. "Jabez kin lay down on the
grass for hull hours 'thout" makin' no
complaint."—Harper's Weekly.

Search for Ore Near Stilwell.
Stilwell, Okla.—Machinery has been
unloaded at a point some ten miles
south of Stilwell and active operations
have commenced for the drilling for
lead and zinc. Prospectors state that
the outlook is .much better than that
found at Joplin when the first pros-
pecting was started there. It is stated
that a thorough test will be made, and
from present indications the find is a
rich one and will be the means of add-
ing greatly to thta section. The work
Is being done by a Joplin company
and a heavy crew of men have been
put on.
First Round for Tecumseh.
Guthrie. Okla.—Tecumseh won the
first round in the Tecumseh-Shawnee
county seat contest when Referee Mar-
tin overruled Shawnee's demurrer to
Tecumseh's testimony in the county
seat matter on the ground that Tecum-
seh had made a prima facie case. It
is now incumbent upon Shaw-nee to
submit its testimony as a rebutal to
the evidence already submitted by Te-
