TO SOKE Oil MICH
RIVER NAVIGATION 18 ONE GREAT
NEED IN INDIAN TERRITORY
FIELD
MUSKOGEE: "Navigation is the
only way to solve the oil question in
this territory," said Homer Needles, a
prominent oil man who draws $6,000
per month income from his oil wells
and knows the difficulty of marketing
oil.
"The Muskogee field," continued Mr.
Needles, "is apparently one of the big-
gest in the territory, but all of the pipe
lines are carrying their capacity now
and if more new wells—a new field is
opened, it simply means that the gen-
eral run of wells must be 'pinched in*
just a little more. What we need is a
system of putting oil in big barges and
floating them down the rjver to tide
water. From Red Fork, Tulsa and
clear on down the line to Muskogee
the oil wells are within easy reach of
the Arkansas river. Oil is lighter than
water and why not float it down the
river. The Prairie Oil ft Gas, the Gulf
and the Texas pipe lines are now tak-
ing every barre^of oil they can, and
still a producer who has big wells has
to keep them choked down all the time
because the pipe lines will not accept
all tne oil.
The development of the Muskogee
oil field promises to lead to shipping
oil by barges down the Arkansas river
to the Mississippi and on the Gulf.
The Muskogee field is not tapped by a
pipe line, the nearest being where the
Gulf line has a branch."

Attorney for Defendant Raised a Point
as to Appeal
VINITA: When the Ireland murder
case was called in the criminal court
at Vinita the defense raised the point
that in case of a conviction there
would not be time to perfect an ap-
peal before the advent of statehood.
In that event this case would not be
in that class which the enabling act
provides shall go to the eighth dis-
trict circuit, and there would be no
court to which it would be appealed.
This would be convicting a person
without a right of appeal, which is
contrary to the bill of rights. Judge
Parker sustained the point and the
case was not heard.
Following out this decision there
can be no more criminal cases tried in
Indian Territory before statehood.
LARGE DOCKET FOR JUDGE
Buy the Ingredients from Any Drug-
gist In Your Town and Shake
Them in a Bottle to
Mix This.
A well-known authority on Rheu-
matism gives the readers of a large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless
prescription, which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and
take a teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
tion pharmacy at small cost, and, be-
ing a vegetable extraction, are harm-
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg-
ularly for a few days, is said to over-
come almost any case of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, if any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in-
juring the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, etc., some of which
do give relief, few really give perma-
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of even
the small towns elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
will mix the prescription if asked to.

way company, with headquarters at

THE KI8S IN JAPAN.
One Western Idea That Is Popular
with Eastern Maidens.
She was a Japanese college student,
little and thin, but very graceful In
her Paris gown.
"The kiss," she said, blushing faint-
ly, "was unknown in Japan 50 years
ago. Now, among the aristocracy, it
is becoming quite renowned.
"Yet it comes as a great shock at
first. It is so different, you know,
from anything in a Japanese girl's ex-
perience. I have known maidens who
fainted at a first kiss that was per-
haps too warmly tendered. Yet these
very maids became afterward ardent
advocates of the new western em-
brace.
"Frankly, I like the kiss myself. Its
stimulus, and the feeling, as of red
satin, when mouth touches mouth
with a warm, soft shock—yes, frank-
ly, I like the kiss, and I find it ex-
tremely difficult to deny an eager
young man so innocent and so delight-
lightful an embrace.

EXACT DATE CANNOT BE FIXED
AND DEFINITE PLAN8 ARE
HELD IN ABEYANCE
GUTHRIE: Governor-elect C. N.
Haskell and a number of the gentle-
men elected with him on the state
ticket, held a conference here in the
governor's suite in the Royal hotel,
and discussed inaugural plans, but be-
cause of the fact that the exact date
cannot yet be determined, all definite
plans must be held in abeyance.
Former Chief Justice Frank Dale,
who has charge of the Guthrie end of
inaugural matters, stated that nothing
definite had been done as yet, but that
committees soon would be named to
begin the preparations. It was desired
by the local citizens to get the view*
of Mr. Haskell and others before pro-
ceeding.
In Torments with Terrible 8oree on
Face and Body—Tore at Flesh
—Cured by Cuticura.
"My little son, when about a year
and a half old began to have sores
come out on his face. They began to
:ome on his arms, then on other parts
of his body, and then one came on his
j chest, worse than the others. At the
and of about a year and a half of suf-
fering he grew so bad I had to tie his
hands in cloths at night to keep him
from scratching the sores and tearing
the flesh. He got to be a mere skele-
ton and was hardly able to walk. I
sent to the drug store and got a cake
of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura
Ointment, and at the end of about two
months the sores were all well. He
has never had any sores of any kind
since, and only for the Cuticura Rem-
edies my precious child would have
died from these terrible sores. I used
only one cake of Soap and about three
boxes of Ointment. Mrs. Egbert Shel-
don. R. F. D. No. 1, Woodville, Conn.,

was on your 95,000-acre ranch three days. Ifound jt much .better than I
exoected I am satisfied in my own mmd that with proper wind breaks, ao
we have in thia country, oranges, lemons, apricots, figs, olives and almond*
**" EffrtSt Antonio i. the mtn l bom. of tl EntfU,
Mil on your land is much better for fruit raising than it ia in
thia countiy, because you have a good red clay subsoil, while in Southern Cali-
fornia we nave gravel and rock that does not hold moisture.
We have to irrigate here at least ten times a year and continually work
the orchards but I don't think this would be necessary on your land in South
Texas at least not bo much of it, because the red clay will hold moisture and
will give the fruit a better flavor. 4 ,lm. . .
Orange orchards in this country are worth from $500 to $1,000, and wal-
nuts from $200 to $500 per acre. .
I think south of San Antonio to the Gulf is a better country than from
Los Angeles, Cal.. to San Diego, Cal., because the soil is better, there is more
water, and the climate is just as good so far as T could see and hear by talk-
ing to old settlers, and the land is bo cheap that every workingman should
^1 \m°sure that in the near future South Texas will be a prosperous
fruit growing country and will be as valuable as Southern California, and
the man who will lose money in South Texas is the man that does not get
in on this cheap land of yours before it is all gone. A man that has lived
in Southern California as long as I have can see the future of South Texas.

Saw It Come Out of a Cow.
A little city boy and his sister Dor-
othy were taken to the country for
the first time.
The two children were happy as
the day was long. In the late after-
noon they watched the cows come
home, heard with delight the tink-
ling cow-bells, and the little boy
even went in the barns to see the
milking done.
At supper, just as Dorothy was
lifting her glass to her rosy lips, the
boy cried out:
"Oh, Dorothy, don't! You mustn't
drink that mUk. It's not fit to drink.
It came out of a cow. I saw it!"
Reason This Out.
An English quarryman was chargcd
with assaulting one of his mate?, and
when the case was carried into court,
an eyewitness of the occurrence gave
some curious evidence.
"He tuk a pick an' he tuk a pick,''
the witness began, "an* he hit him
wid his pick, an' be hit him wid his
pick; an' if he'd hit him wid his as
hard as he hit him wid his, he'd have
near killed him, and not him him."
Her Good Advice.
"I am often asked by friends what
to do for skin troubles such as Ec-
zema, Ringworm and similar afflic-
tions. I always recommend Hunt'tf
Cure. I consider it the surest rem-
edy for itching troubles of any charac-
ter there Is made."—Mrs. J. I. High-
tower, Palmetto, La.
Well Qualified.
"So you want the position of ad-
vance agent for our circus?" inter-
rogated the manager. "Well, we need
a man who can itir up some life
everywhere he goes." "That's me,
boss," hastened the applicant. "Had
any experience in stirring up life?"
"You bet! I usoi to drive a street
sweeper and stirred up millions of
germs every day."
Excusable.
"I suppose," remarked the coy widow,
"that you are an advocate of early
marriages?"
"Ob. yes, I am," replied the scanty
haired bachelor.
"Then," continued the c. w., "why
is It you are still a bachelor?"
"That's quite another matter," an-
swered the Bachelor. "The only mar-
riages I believe in are early ones, be-
cause there is some excuse for youth-
ful follies."—Chicago News.
Problems Concerning Wealth.
It's easy to understand why so few
of us have money. Those who know
how to make It don't know how to
keep It, and those who can keep It
can't get it, and that'B the only reason
why they can't keep it.

The Kind You Have Always Bought.
Didn't Need Cyclopedias.
The canvasser for a cyclopedia
came to the home of a colonel, whose
record he had carefully studied be-
fore his visit. The colonel was es-
pecially proud of some of his sons,
so the canvasser began with:
"Those are very fine boys of yours,
colonel."
"They are," replied the colonel.
"I reckon you are ready to buy any-
thing those boys want?"
"I am so," said the father of the
fine boys.
"Well, then, let me sell you this
cyclopedia. There's nothing will do
your sons so much good."
But the colonel looked at him
aghast. "Why, them lads of mine
don't need any cyclopedia. They ride
mules!"
Bush Over Buried Treasure.
There is a tradition in Germany
that it was customary in the Middle
Ages to put an elderberry plant over
buried treasure. A farmer at Oels-
dorf while plowing close to such a
bush unearthed a vessel containing
2,300 silver coins of the eleventh cen-
tury.
Not a Hit as an Improviser.
"Did you ever hear anybody impro-
vise?" he asked.
"No," said she, and he sat down to
the piano and improvised for about an
hour and a half. At the end of that
time he turned around, his face full
of expression, and said to her:
"What do you think of it?"
"Lovely!" she exclaimed. "Beauti-
ful! I never heard anything like it!"
But this is what she said to the hall-
boy when he was gone:
"If that long, lank lunatic who im-
provises asks for me again, you tell
him I am out."
Man Whose Memory Was Bad.
For more than an hour a witness
for the defense had dodged questions.
His faulty memory was particularly
exasperating for the counsel for the
plaintiff, who was seeking to recall
to the witness' recollection an event
of four of five years previous. Event-
ually the man remembered "somO'
thing about it."
"Ah," continued the lawyer for the
plaintiff, "what dd you think of It
at the time?"
•Really," said the witness, speak-
ing before the lawyer for the defense
had time to interpose objection. "It
was so long ago I caut recall exactly
what 1 thought of it."
"Well," shouted the cross-examin-
er, excitedly, "if you can't recall, tell
us what you think now jou thought
then."
