MONEY FOR OKLAHOMA.
Washington D.C. Apr.l5-Con-
gressman McGuire has scored
again for taxpayers of Oklahoma.
Last week he had a hearing be-
fore the sub-committee of appro-
priations committee on the Okla-
home Constitutional convention
and election deficit. He asked
for an appropriation of $203,000.
Objections were made by the
committee to the items for the
eounty election expenses on the
grounds that such expense had
not been paid in other states,
and that Oklahoma Territory had
in the past been paying its own
county election expenses; and
the item for $31,000 addition pay
tor the members of the constitu-
tional convention. The objec-
tion vas based on the grounds
that the enabling act expressly
provided that the members should
receive pay for only sixty days.
McGuire will have another hear-
ing on the items to whioh the ob-
jections were made.
McGuire secured in the state-
hood bill $100,000 and the defi-
ciency appropriation is in excess
of this. It is of interest in this
connection that the following
were the appropriations, includ-
ing appropriations for the last
•even states admitted to the union
The two Dakotas $65,714.51
Montana - 27,231.09
'Washington • 26,076.27
Idaho • 28,000.00
Wyoming, - - 30,000.00
Utah, - - - 47,251.50
r.i,i« f Reoeived- - $100,000.00
1 Total Asked 303,000.00
MThe committee treated me
fine," said MoGuire after the
hearing. "They are trying to
get at what is right and will give
us what we are entitled to. Con-
gress has been dealing liberally
with Oklahoma in appropriation
matters. Besides these expenses
you know Congress gave us five
million dollars for schools that
was done for no other state."
The committee on mines and
mining has reported a bill favor-
ably that provides for a school of
mining in each state, under the
direction of the Seoretary of In-
terior.
The bill carries $5,000 for each
state for the fiscal year ending,
beginning July 1,1908; $10 000 for
1909; $15,000 for 1910; $20,000
for 1911; $25,000 for 1912 and
$25,000 for each year thereafter.
Where there is a state mining
sohool the money goes to that
school. In the event there is
none, it is to be used in establish-
ing one in connection with the
agricultural college. In Oklaho-
ma this would be at Stillwater.
"I have been working for such
a measure and believe it can be
passed," said Congressman Mc-
Guire, "a similar bill went
through the house some years
aco but died in the Senate. The
campaign of education is having
its effect however. The produots
of the soil 1906 were three and a
half billion for this country and
of the mines two billions,"
When returning home from
Avery last Saturday night Leslie
Bonebrake's pony fell under him
by slipping on a bridge, and the
animal sustained suoh injuries
that it died immediately, while
Leslie was considerably though
not seriously bruised.
Water Works Bonds Voted Down
The waterworks elcetion Tues-
day passed off very quietly.
There was not a large vote cast
and those persons taking the
most interest in the proposition
were against it. The total vote
cast was 123, with 58 for and 65
against water works and one
mutulated ballot. As a'two-
thirds majority is necessary to
carry the bonds, they were of
course lost by a large majority.
We understand, however, that it
was more the way in which the
proposition was presented .that
defeated it than that our people
are actually against voting bonds
for waterworks. It ie also com-
mon talk and confidently stated
by many of the citizens that an-
other effort to vote bonds will be
made in the not distant future.
Waterworks are certainly one of
he most needed best valued and
greatest appreciated when once
installed of all publio utilities
within the reaoh of the modern
mall tow n.
Cushing Creamery Progressing.
Joe Jung, the gentlemanly
manager of the Cushing Cream-
ery Company, informs us that he
expects to have the plant ready
for operation within the next ten
days, His oompany will pay
more for cream than is paid by
the shipping stations at points
where there are no creameries
though the foreign companies
may meet his prices here and in
such an event the result will be
the same to the producer—he will
get more money for his butter
fat, The Cushing Creamery has
invested in a $100 tosting appra-
tus whieh insures a fair test of all
oream|bought. As soon as the ar-
rangements can be completed the
company expects to put out men
to gather tne cream which will be
a convenience to the farmer which
should be appreciated. An ice
cream (aotory and also a cheese
factory are among the possible
additions to the ^business of this
oompany in the near future. We
hope to see the Cushing Cream-
ery a prosperous institution and
know no reason why it should not
be such.
The publio school oontest Dis-
trict No 3, which took plaoe at
Avery sohool last Saturday after-
noon and night was well attended.
