A reign of terror seems to exist In the

saloon robberies are common. Several
hillings have occurred. Though in
Union county the scene of trouble is 100
miles south of Clayton.
Wo acknowledge receipt of a copy of
the report of the governor of Oklaho-

is replete with figures regarding popu-
lation and wealth of the territory,
showing irH!j;h( jfowth and progress

for a citizen to have, if he wants to
keep posted on the growth of tho ter-
ritory.

If the tax Is removed, but that in Uot
the main point with tho Havoiu yors.
They want tho beet bug to flourish and
sugar beet to grow little and sour, that
their coffers may bo filled. Lot the fight
go on it cannot result detrimentally to
tho man with a sugar tooth. We be-
lleve beets can oo grown profitably and
complete witli cane, when the tar ill" i a

as it Is an industry of the west.

According to the Governor's Ann nil
report of Oklahoma, Heaver county
had property returned for taxation last
year valued at $1,<>14,072. There are
tlve other eouaties in the territory that
have smaller valuat:ons. Day count)
does business on $4(7,91:$ worth of
property. Throe counties could be
made out of licaver county and each
one of them have mote taxable
property than Day county. Small
counties are leg* expensive than larger
ones. While the time may not be ri|x-
for the division of Heaver conntv into
three counties, tlie time is not far di •
t int when it will be good business to
do that very thing. The valuation <>
Beaver couuty iu reused last year over
(lie year Is;lore f I0,.j09 and over t at
of two years ago $272,804. No one
doubts that the Increase in population
and wealth la«t year, since the assess-
ment was made, will exceed that of
anj one year heretofore, without con-
sidering tlie valuation of the railroad
that hns 00 iniles of track in the county
that is subject to a^sens.nent tVs yiar.
IV make three counties out of Heaver
in an fipial geographical division
would make the counties 311 2x56
miles. It would seem advisable even
now to divide the count) rather than
t- move the conntv seat.
Chas. M. Sliong, director of the
weatl or bureau for Oklahoma makes
the following synopsis of fhe weather
for last year:
The year 1901 was favo.ahicin the
iialn for agricultural pursuits, although
marked by the least precfpitntioh on
record since the opening of the section.
As compared with normal conditions
for the past ten years, the average
t uiperaturo was I.L degrees above,
while the precipitation was 8.17 inches
below tlie normal; The average teni-
perature for 1901 was 00.8 degrees; the
maximum was lit) degrees at Wagoner
on July 10th; the minimum was
l.j degrees below zero at Kenton on
December 14th: range for the year 131
degrees. Tho total animal precipitation
was 22.71) inches; tho greatest annual,
locally, 38.21 Inches at Tahlequah; the
least 12.55 inches at Beaver; the average
total snowfall was 5.4 Inches. Tho
average number of clear days was 215;
partly cloudy. 77, cloudy 73; days with
.01 Inch precipitation, 48. The prevail-
ing wind direction was South.
It is said that President Hoosovclt has
taken a firm stand for Cuban reciproci-
ty. Tills means tnuoli toward cheaper
sugar, and better Havana tillers.
