PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY
W. H, MURRAY ... - EDI ron
Hntcrcd at the postollice at Chelsea,
Ind. Ter., for transmission through
the mails as second-class matter.
S/.OO A YEAR.
Last week the editor of the
Bluejacket News shed tears o(
gratitude big as tea-kettles, all be-
cause some uukuowu freud seut
him a pair of shoes.
Chelsea is sadly iu'need of bet-
ter drainage and better sanitation
vSuch things may be Expensive at
the start, but in the end are far
cheaper than doctors and under-
taker's bills.
Standard Ms announced that it
jwill soou resume the taking^f tow
gravity oils from the Kansas and
Territory fields, which will give
an impetus to the operations in
this district. Independent pro-
ducers are also locking forward to
the prospects of a pipe line to the
gulf iu the near future which will
furnish an outlet to tide water
from the Territory fields. Alto-
gether the situation, though dull
at present, bears promise of far
belter things for the future than
auy past conditions,
The Reporter-has received n
copy of a new 5-ceut magazine
called Human Life. We would
like to subscribe for it, but as it is
against the law' to take human
life, we must refrain.
Say, Mr. Bartlesville Examiner
man, next time you 'poke fun at
the grammar of a Chelsea editor,
you should get a new steam drill
and make a hole in his skull so
the^point of the joke can penetrate.
What is the matter with bring-
ing in that band stand from the
fair grounds and placing it over
the public well at the corner of
Sixth and Pine streets? Present
arrangements are -inconvenient
both for the band and the audi-
ence.
The Chautauqua at Vinita, July
13 to 20, will be a feast of gocd
things amusing, instructive and
entertaining. As there is nothing
ol' this kind planned for Chelsea
this season, our people should take
advantage of the one nearest home
aad attend the assembly at Vinita.
Herbert W. Bowen. for some
years United States minister to
Venezuela, has been summarily
dismissed from the consular service
by President Roosevelt. This is
the result of the controversy iu
which Bowen tried to besmirch
the character of Assistant Secre-
tary of State Francis B. Loomis.
That single statehood convention
at Oklahoma City promises to be
the biggest thing of the kind ever
pulled off in the territory, It is a
step toward statehood and should
have" the endorsement of every
person who believes that statehood
will be a good thing for the terri-
tories,—Guthrie Capital.
Isn't it strange how some news-
papers can advocate a democratic
tariff policy five years before the
paper was ever published or even
thought of, and give that as a
reason for an implied support of
iuturi republican candidates? Such
statements contain about as much
consistency as truth. It is to
laugh.
The Arkansas Valley Naviga-
tion Association expects to start
its fleet of six barges down the
Arkansas ^ver for New Orleans
early in July. The boats are being
built at Muskogee, Tulsa and Fort
Smith, and each of these cities
wiil load two barges with cotton,
coin, potatoes, wheat, coal, oil,
cattle, lumber, manufactured pro-
ducts, etc.
Statehood Convention.
A call has'been issued for a mou-
ster statehood convention to meet
in Oklahoma City July 12. The
uumber of delegates'authorized to
be elected to the convcution is 500
from each territory, with an equal
number of alternates. The dele-
gates and alternates are to be cho-
sen at mass meetings to be held iu
the counties of Oklahoma and the
recording districts of Indian Ter-
ritory, on Saturday, July 8, 1905.
The apportionment of delegates
from Indian Territory, by districts,
is as follows:
Dist. No. 1—Miami, iS.

Dist. No. 3—Nowata, 18.
Dist. No. 4—Claremore, 18.
Dist. No. 5—Pryor Creek, 18.
Dist. No. 6—Tahlequah, 18.

Dist. No. 25—Durant, 20.
Dist. No. 26—Marietta, 10.
The purpose of the convefltion
as set forth in the call, is two fold.
First, to give , expression to the
will and wishes of the people of the
Twin Territories as to statehood
legislation for us, and, in the sec-
ond place, get the American con
gress to provide for the admission
of Oklahoma and Indian Territory
to statehood at once without re-
gard or reference to other terri-
tories of the United States. The
people of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory are particularly cal'ed
upon by the present exigency of
our situation to resist "entangling
alliances," made possible by the
desire and insistence of otter ter-
ritories to be admitted into the
Union. But in this matter, our
earnest duty begins and ends at
home.

Robbery at Vinita.
Sunday night the store of the
Badget Sanders Mercantile Co. at
Vinita, was burglarized to the ex-
tent of $10 in cash and about three
dozen hats valued at about $150.
The burglars entered by a rear
window and went out through the
rear doors. A reward has been of-
fered but there is no clue jo the
robbers.
Matters have been unusually
quiet in the oil fields for the past
week. No new operations of any
mefneut have been started and the
operations are ccnfi-.ed mostly to
.caring for the pred ict of wells al-
ready in. Prospects for the future
vftre brightening, however, ?ni the
ajutlooJe is encouraging. The
May Oil Production..
The production of petroleum in
the United States during May was
the largest ever recorded. The
greater part was fuel oil. which is
constantly finding a wider market
and increasing in importance.
Consumption and production are,
however, very wide apart, and the
necessity for enlarging the market
for the low grade oils of California
and Texas, as w ell as of Kansas,
is urgent. Taking the most accu-
rate figure* that can be obtained,
Vinita Chatauqua.
Our neighboring town of Vinita
is to have a Chautauqua assembly
lasting eight days, July r3 to 20,
with 23 sessions.
Among the splendid attractions
at this Chautauqua are Sam. P.
Jones, Capt. Hobson, the hero of
the Merrimac, and one of the most
eloquent men in national life;
Capt. Jack Crawford, the poet-
scout, the Ernest Gamble Concert
Party, one of the finest concert
companies doing Chautauqua work.
Ernest Gamble is probably the
greatest basso in the United States;
Geo. W. Bain, the silver-tongued
Kentuckian; Toyo]cichi Iyenaga
of Japan, the eloquent Japanese
statesman who will lecture on the
Russo-Japanese war; Dr. Eugene
May of Washington, D. C., one of
the greatest descriptive lecturers
in America; Dr. Geo. Wood An-
derson, of Troy, N. Y., whose
lectures on "Bald Heads, Inside
and Out," and "A Bee in a Whirl-
wind," scored an immense success
at the big Chautauqua last season;
Ellsworth Plumstead, the famous
wandering raggedy man, and one
of the great impersonators of the
age; Joseffy, the magician and
Russo-Japanese war scenes; Hon.
Frank S. Regan, the cartoonist
and lecturer, in his illustrated
chalk lectures; the Lyric Quar-
tette, au exceptionally fine lady
quartette, and the First Regimen/
Military band and other splendid
Chautauqua attractions will be pre-
sented.
Season tickets for the "Entire
twenty-three sessions are beiug
sold for only £2, less than gc per
