CLAREMORE, IND. TER. THURSDAY NOVEMBER 14, 1901.
NON-PARTISAN
CONVENTION
For the Purpose of Determin-
ing the Views of the Peo-
ple of the Terretory on
Statehood.
That is what Muskogee heads
its call for a convention Decem-
ber 10, to oppose the Single
Staters who have taken chargeof
the town to-day. The call is
signed by the very brain and
syiew of Muskogee's business
olement. and sets forth that it is
to determine the sense of the
1*jopleof the Indian Territory
ob t^e statehood ouestion, wheth-
er it bo double or single.
While a thorough discussion
ofany issue is at all times desira-
ble. it is only fair to assume that
the convetion will only be attend-
ed by delegates known to oppose
the si ngle statehood idea^- that its
purpose, just os to-days conven-
tion, will only be attended by
delegates who are committed to
the single statehood theory, and
that one will be as thoroughly
ropresntative of the popular
wish as the other.
The^joly difference is, that the
\\ i shos of itio people of the
territory is a secondary matter
to that of political expediency.
Double statehood—that is a state
of both Oklahoma and Indian
Territory is as impossible at the
hands of Congress under any ad-
ministration as is the cause of
the Boer forces in South Africa
—it is a folorn hope.
There is a possibility of the In-
dian Territory* securing some
kiud of state or territorial gov-
ernment this winter along with
Oklah^a possibly statehood
pure and simple. Surely this
would be preferable to the pres-
ent conditions prevailing.
sThe attempt toarouseaconsid-
fcb^ adverse sentiment is non-
sense. First, because the ac-
complishment of its purpose is
t nceeded to bo impossible by
all who have given the matter
serious thought, and who have a
voice in the granting of any
change here; second, because it
is very apt, more than that, it is
sure to longer continue among
us that condition of affai rs that
is fast becoming intolerable.
Burried in Mexico.
A reporter for the Messenger
j called on J. C. Barrett to-day to
! learn what arrangements had
j been made for tne interment of
; Mrs. James Taylor who died in
Now Mexico, and who was re-
l ported would be brought to
| Claremore for burial.
Mr. Barrett stated that he
knew nothing of any intention to
bring the remains here, that
nothing beyond the telegraine
conveying the notice of death
had been received by relatives
here and that he was satisfied
that interment would be made by
the side of her husband in New
Mexico.
Many Dalegate3.
A special from Muskogee
states that five hundred dele-
gates to the statehood conven
tion had arrived last night, and
that prepparations were being
made to ca.ie for five hundred
more from Oklahoma Politic-
ians are on the fence but busi-
ness interests favor statehood
with Oklahoma as quickly as pos-
sible.

Oil at Red Fork.
Red ForK, I. T., Nov. 13;—While
drilling yesterday afternoon at this
place, at a debth of about 547 feet, the
lied Fork Oil and Gas Co. struck a
strong Olow of oil anp gas.
Thiis is regarded, by the exerts on
the ground, to be tho best in this lo-
cality. The fllow is strong and con-
tinuous. The well has been capped
but the overflow, which is being piped
into a tank, amounts to ton barrels an
hour and no doubt exists In paying
quantities.
Five wells have been drillod hero
and oil found in four of them, the lifth
being abandoned for some unknown
reason before the required depth had
been reached.
Red Fork is jubilant Last night
barrels of oil were distributed at dif-
ferent points over the streets and ig-
nited, producing an illumlaation that
could bo seen for miles. f
