Dear Sir Pursuant to my
iromise made to you before my
leparture from home, I will now
f indertake to write a few jottings
++<**** hat may be of intereat to our fel-
'jell |low townsmen.
While the delegation of
Statehood Boomers" who left
'n Y Oklahoma City numbered about
* 'one hundred and fifty, the dele-
fcatiion now here will number
rt, O.T fully two hundred, the force hav-
ing been added to by fresh
[arrivals. *
We have with us enough for-
Lmer state legislators to organize
and bankrupt any state in the
union. We have twenty-two
bankers with us. At first I was
delighted with this feature of the
E general make-up of the delega-
tion, feeling assured that they
fwere here to finance the same,
[but subsequent inquiry devel-
oped the fact that the majority of
king fo«them were residents of the Indian
tries anfcountry where the law of Ar-
kansas kindly restricts the rate
P uef0f interest to eight per centum
! be surlper annum, and that they had
Ijoined us to aid in every possible
manner the early admission
if the new state of Okla-
homa, which carries with it
at least the four per cent ad-
ditional benefit.

and black representatives. The
darker element of the delegation
is represented by a Creek coon.
The reds are represented by a
delegate from each of the civil-
ized nations, each of whom are
good strong workers with plenty
of influence at the Capitol.
I Statehood is certain. Every
congressman has been besieged,
| and while some have differed in
the opinions expressed as to the
character of the enabling act, all
| are heartily in favor of statehood
| at this session in some form or
j or other.
I was fortunately situated here
J in one respect. An old chum of
i mine at school in Ohio was elect-
ed to congress from the %th Dis-
trict of Ohio at the last con-
j gressional election there, and
J among the appointments an-
I nounced this morning by the
I Speaker of the house was that of
I Ralph D. Cole, of Ohio, as a
, member of the committee on
| territories, As he had been with
| me a great deal around amongst
i the delegates, as soon as it was
announced that he was one of
, the three new members of the
! committeef I have been busy
| with callers who desire to meet
j him, and we are keeping him
j busy receiving knowledge of val-
i ue in the future in dealing with
i the territories.
Cole informs me that the Ohio
; delegation are unanimous for
I statehood for Oklahoma and In-
j dian Territory, but that two mem-
! bers are in favor of a liquor re
j striclion. He declared himself
i opposed to any restriction being
1 placed upon the new state in any
i manner or form.
I With Governor Barnes, I will
j call on Senators Dick and Forak-
i er tomorrow. Dick is with us ab-
| solutely, and so is Foraker un-
less an attempt should be made
: to deny New Mexico statehood,
in which event he might change
I his position to force its admission
| as he has vast interests in New
Mexico which he wishes to en-
hance.
In a body the delegation visit-
ed both branches of congress to-
day, where we were afforded
, much amusement by a split in
' democratic ranks that terminat-
ed in a very violent debate be-
j tween John Sharp Williams and
a Forida member. A fistecuff
' was narrowly averted. In the
Senate, Tillman was too much
for about half a dozen who wr?
trying to floor him. He kept the
galleries in a good humor, and
, that particular half dozen in ill
humor for quite a while.
; Every delegate here has de-
veloped a political ambition, and
[anything from a cross-roads
post office to the territorial secre-
taryship has a poor chance to
j escape the clutches of these en-
ergetic aspirants.
The delegation has been to the
various departments in a body
and has called upon several 'ead-
ing members of c >ngress as nn
organization, and have beenwel
corned everywhere. Two ser
mom were preached Sunday af-
j ternoon and evening for our
I especial benefit. We call on the
^president later in the week.
Early after my arrival here, I
undertook to secure the change
of the seat of the Federal Court
to Hobart instead of Lawton as
Back From Washington.
Mr J. H. Cline. who was Ho-
hart's representative on the
statehood special that went to
Washington, returned homeSun-
day night. Joe is very mu«ih
pleased with his trip and from a
letter we publish elsewhere seems
to have put in some good licks
for statehood. He was fortunate
in having on the statehood com-
listened to and acted upon. Old
fashioned publi<: opinion is point*
i ig its finger at congrt ss.
Mr. Cline assured us that the
stand the Chief had tak-
en for statehood under any and
all conditions and its support of
McGuire in Kin hard struggle
against the Flynn knockers, was
very highly appreciaU*' l y Mr.
MoGuire and all true friends of
state hoou.

Irrigation Steal.

\ctice
There lias been a perjured ra-
pt rt made that the Ked river
w ater is pot fit for irrigation pur-
poses. being too salty. This is
what it means in plain Kn<?M«h.
i There are some long words about
| evaporation, saline and a lot of
| other scientific lies and bosh.
Now listen gentlemen who are
paid to look after Kiowa county's
|and Oklahoma's interests. There
j is a move on foot to transfor Ok-
; lahoma'* 3,000/100 dollar irriga-
j tion fund to New Mexico. Wo
know whereof we speak. El-
| kins. Foraker, Penrose and
.others in the U. 8. Senate are
deeply interested in New Mexico,
' For this reas in and no other that
i territory is hung as a mill -
> stone about our necks in
| the statehood matter, An-
drews, its delegate to congress
through his political republican
| pull, broke a big bank in Pitts-
I burg and the suiciding cashier
j accused Andrews of his ruin.
I Of course he will not be punish-
jedheisa republican and stole
