of the many excellent features embraced in the "S. M.
&. 8." garments. The coat fronts are made with
thoroughly shrunk pure linen canvas and haircloth and
will not break. The collars are hand-made and tit
closely. The shoulders are provided with patent-shape
conforming pads that adjust themselves to any figure.
The trousers hang gracefully, lie neatly over the shoes
and tit comfortably at the waist and thighs. The vests
arecorrectly mudeund complete the suits appropriately.
The prices of these garments are moderate which is
another feature worthy of consideration. To sum up
briefly the "8. M. & 8." clothing is "made right at the
right price." May we have the pleasureof showing you?

provisional count which is beinK
made by local officials. The
federal count of 1900 showed a
population of 808,000 in that
territory. The present figures
therefore would indicate some
tiling like a doubling of the
territory's population in five
years There is nothing
improbable in this. The territory
grew from 61,000 in 1H90 to
808,000 in 1900. Most of this
expansion was through enlarge-
ment of aron hy the addition of
sections of the Indian Territory.
Several Indian reservations have
been thrown open in Oklahoma in
the past five years, and these
have been added to the territo-
ry's inhabitants.
Oklahoma's neighbor, the
Indian Territory, which had
892,<**0 in 1900, has also grown
fast in the past five years. It is
believed that the Indian Territo-
ry had about 550,000 people in
1900. The twin territories,
when admitted as a single state
in 190(5 will start out with fully
1,800,000 people. They will thus
hold a high place on the state roll
in population. They will lead
Maryland, Nebraska, West
Virginia, Connecticut, Maine,
Rhode Island. Colorado. Florida,
Washington, Oregon, New
Hamnghire, South Dakota, Ver
mont, North Dakota, Utah,
Montana, Delaware, Idaho.
Wyoming and Nevada. This is
the order in which these states
stood five years ago in the federal
count
' That the twin territories will
come in as a state in 1906, there
is no rtiom for doubt. As the
tribal governments of the Indian
Territory are not to be
abolished until March of next
year, the state could not be let
in until that time in any case. It
is to be hoped that the two
territories will be dealt with this
time under a separate bill, leaving
New Mexico and Arizona to take
their chances by themselves.
There will be no opposition to
the admission of the twiu
territories. They not only have
the population to make them a
first class state, but they have
the railways, banks, schools,
churches, cities and other
appliances of a high class
civilization. The country favors
the admission of Oklahoma and
the IndianTerritory. They will,
eight or ten months hence, add
the forty-sixth star to the
national flag. -State Capital.

Sinking Fund 1 "
In the publication of the esti-
mated tax levies for 1905, b.v the
commissioners' court. there is a
new item, that of a court house
rental fund of two mills It is
not definitely determined by the
commissioners' court to assess
this item, but pending their
decision it had to be included in
the publication. The aggregate
levy, omitting this item, exceeds
the levy of last year 1$ mills.
Considering the increased ex-
penses this is very little.
Transporting and guarding
prisoners will cost $2,000 or more
annually from now on.
This two mills levy will be but
about $2,500 per unnum, and can
be arranged to pay for a jail put
up in the near future. The
commissioners are trying to
solve this heavy prisoner expense
in the most economic way and
to the best interest of the people.
What is known as the Crane
road petition was decided on by
the last session of the commis-
sioners' court, and the road will
be opened for the public.
The Beaver County Bank was
named by the commissioners as
one of the depositories of the
county.
A Washington, D. C., professor
recently completed an investiga-
tion of the habits of coyotes and
wolves of Oklahoma. The people
of Oklahoma know all that they
care to know about coyotes
without seeing more of it in
print, and it in to be hoped that
the teport when compiled and
printed will be distributed east
of the Mississippi river. This
far west coyotes are not recog-
nized as being worth the effort of
making a detailed report of their
habits. Were the animal human
he would be a bank robber, a
murderer, a horse thief, a liar,
a wife beater and a dead beat all
in one package.
McGuire Favors Fort Supply
The Delegate Will Ask Congress
to Legalize the Oklahoma
Asylum Act.
Guthrie, Okla., July 8.—Dele-
gate McGuire said today that
one of the first bills he would
introduce immediately upon the
convening of Congress next
December would be the one to
legalize the act of the Oklahoma
legislature establishing a terri-
torial asylum for insane persons
at Fort Supply and the removal
of the asylum patients from
Norman where they are cared
for under contract with the
Oklahoma Sanitarium Company.
' I have found in traveling over
Oklahoma," said Delegate Mc-
Guire, "that the people look upon
the asylum at Norman as a
private enterprise, and believe
that thecareof these unfortunate
persons should be under the
direct supervisionof the territory.
1 believe that the bill can be
passed in Congress without
difficulty."

Oklahoma's School Lands Insure

Guthrie, O. T., July 6 —The
school lands of Oklahoma have
turned into the territorial treas-
ury for the support of the schools
during the last fifteen years over
$'2, *>00,000. The rentals are
rapidly increasing and according
to the annual report made by
Secretary Fred L. Wenner to
Governor Ferguson today the
lands will hereafter be giving the
schools $500,000 every year.
During the last year $442,975.
