Great Interest Being Taken In South-
west Oklahoma—Other Meetings
Will be Held to Agitate the Irriga-
tion Question
SN\ DER: The Irrigation mass
convention held here for the purpose
of discussing the question was attend-
ed by citizens from all over Kiowa
and Comanehle counties, and was a
great success. It Is eslimated that
more than 5,000 people attended the
meeting. James G. Camp, an engi-
neer of the United States reclamation
service, who Is In charge of the pre-
liminary work in the new country; J.
H. Thobum, secretary of the board of
agriculture; Delegate liird S. Mc-
Otilre, C. G. Jones of Oklahoma City
addressed the convention.
The great Inlfrest In Irrigation in
southwestern Oklahoma was made
forcibly apparent by the fact that al-
though the season has beer, wet and
backward, and farmers generally have
reason to remain at home and Im-
prove the opportunily presented by
fine weather to enabli I hern to catch
tip with their farm work, hundreds of
them were present to testify their in-
terest In tho proposed irrigation de-
velopment of this region.
The address of Mr. Camp bricriy
sketched the policy of the federal gov-
ernment relative to Irrigation con-,
struction, toiri something of his own
work in the territory and what he had
found In the way of feasible reservoir
sites, ami was of special interest to
ill present. Mr. Camp has the confi-
dence of all of the people who are fa-
miliar with Ihe dilligence and fidelity
with which he has pursued his work.
All of the other speakers assured
the people of their interest in the
oTi-at proposition now being presented
:o the people of southwestern Oklaho-
ma afid of their willingness to aid in
•very possible way to push it to a
successful conclusion.
Other meetings are to he held at
Altus, Mountain Park and this place
to further agitate the question of Irri-
gation development ami educate the
people In regard to the benefits of the
same to the end that there may be
such unity of action as to insure suc-
cess.
Major McCowan. a brother of
Colonel McCowan who was In charge
of the Chilocco Indian schools, pre-
sided over the meeting. With bis
brother, he has an alfalfa tract of
land, consisting of five hundred acres.
Major McCowan has great faith in ir-
rigation, and believes It will make his
land much more valuable. He made a
great speech, outlining what the peo-
ple of southwestern Oklahoma ex
pect to receive from Irrigation.

Railroad Company Winta the Bonus
Agreed Upon by City of
LAWTON: C. G. Jones, president
of the Oklahoma City & Western
Railway company, has instituted
a suit in the district court In Co-
manche county for $20,000. an
amount which was issued In city war-
rants with which to pay a bonus to
the company for building its line
through the town. The warrants
were issued by the city council in
the spring of 1902. but without au-
thority of law. The following winter
the Oklahoma legislature passed an
act legalizing the issue. There was
a question as to the authority of tho
legislature, and the law was referred
to the supreme court nnd has not yet
been passed upon. Individually, Mr.
Jones has only $3.1,000 of the war-
rants. having bought $8,000 worth at
the beginning, and the remainder are
in the hands of citizens of Lawton,
but the collection of a portion by
Jones will result In the payment of all
on Judgment.

The civic commission appointed by
Mayor Dnnue to investigate the
strike has commenced operations. It
has done little but organize for fu-
ture work, however, and the promise
of the successful performance of Its
mission does not seem to be bright.
It has no power to summon witnesses,
and must, therefore, rely upon volun-
teers. The members of tho Em-
ployers' association declared that
they had received no official notice
f the creation of tho commission,
and would have no dealings with It
until properly notified of its exist-
ence.
President Dold of tho Chicago Fed-
eration of Labor declared for the la
boring men that none of them would
appear before the commission and
give evidence' unless its sessions were
open to the public, and it Investigated
not only the causes of the present
teamsters' strike, but those loading
tip to the strike of the garment work-
ers of Montgomery Ward & Co. last
January. It was in support of this
strike, four months' after its incep-
tion, that the teamsters went out in
sympathy.
The iiKjnbers of the mayor's com-
mission Issued a statement declaring
that they would hold private sessions
daily in the city hall. It was given
out, moreover, that no announcement
of the proceedings would be made
until they were entirely completed
and a decision reached. The action
of the laboring men in declaring
against the secret feature of the hear-
ing practically nullified the attitude
of the commission as soon as an-
nounced.

Case Against District Clerk Neal Or-

GUTHRIE: Associate Justicfe
Hainer sustained tho demurrer of
Thomas A. Neal, court clerk under
Chief Justice Burford, to the indict-
ment against him, charging hlra with
having embezzled Jii.noo bankruptcy
funds, for the reason lhat the Indict-
ment, although legal under tho stat-
ute, was defective in its phraseology,
and ordered the case submitted to the
grand Jury.
1 he sustaining of the demurrer to
the indictment does not affect tho
warrant Issued, charging Neal with
embezzlement, as a result of the In-
vestigation made by Iho department
of Justice Inspectors.
Justice Hainer held that Neal was a
United Slates officer, but also decided
that the Oklahoma courts are legis-
lative, and not United States courts.
Therefore, he held the Fidelity and
Deposit company of Baltimore liable j
on Neal's bond for the money ho is
charged with having embezzled.

OBJECTIONS WITHDRAWN - \
Cattlemen Will Not Oppose the Open
ing of the "Big Pasture"
LAWTON: It seems certain now
that the bl.$ pasture is to be opened
next month. A well known cattle-
man is authority for the statement
that the determination of township
officers to open the section lines of
the big pasture was the sole cause ot
the deciston of the secretary of tho
Interior to lease the lands for agri-
cultural purposes when the leases ot
the cattlemen expire. «'lt gave the
cattlemen a good fright, and was the
principal reason for the bids belug s<*
low. The cattlemen cou 1 afTord to
take po chances In the matter," said
the authority above referred to.
There will be no further opposition
from the cattlemen to the leasing ot
the lands for agricultural purposes.
They are preparing to remove the'.**
cattle, and will not consider the mat-
ter of releasing. In fact they recom-
mended that the lands be leased for
•)ther than grazing purposes.
