Oil and gas lease.-. granted to K. W
Marland in 19-12 were ordered adver
ti sod for re-leasing under the j ref
era c- right by the state school land
commission yesterday by a vote of
to 1, (jovernor Williams dissenting.
Marland has held lease# on ar-prox
'lately 100,000 acres of school land
.ar the last five years. He took tin
leasts and ajgrced to prospect them
with -the understanding that he would
be allowed to re-lease such propertied
as he wished to retain toy paying the
amount of the -bonus and rental off r-
ed by the highest bidder. Governor
Williams lias op]H>sed this preference
right by asserting that the law mak-
ing provision for k is unconstitutional.
Retains I lie ( ream.
H fore the leases w ere ordered ad
vertlsed yesterday Marland filed a lis.
of leases comprising afbout XO.iHM)
acres on which he announced he would
not seek to exercise a preference
right. Much of this acreage is dn ter-
ritory which has not (been drilled and
drilling on other parts tons resulted in
dry holes. This twill leave Marland
in possession of less than 30,000 acres,
should he obtain renewals under the
preference right of all his leases. The
leas- s he has retained, however, are
tlie cream of the acreage and their
value has been variously estimated in
the millions of dollars.
it hut Happened in February, HMtt.
SometliAg of a s «nsation was spmmr
at the (meeting yesterday When refer-
ence was made to a resolution odopt-
en in 'February, "191*6. toy which tho
less- ca were to <ibtain rcLinlburseonen;
for money spoijt In drilling (producing
wells. The cost of drilling the holes
was to be amide a part of tlie appraised
value of the leases. an<| in the event
another company obtained the lease,
the original lessee would have to be
recompensed dor the drilling, toy pro-
visions of the resolution, which was
in the form of a contract to -which tlie
leases were to obtain reimbursement
brought out that Marland has sub-
scribed to the provisions of the resolu-
tion and thus made a contract with
the state.
Vter Did It, Nnjs Williams.
"The school land commission never
adopted siu-to a resolution." Governor
Williams asserted.
He was assunxt toy Secretary of
State J. I j. Lyon and State Vudltor E
li. Howard that the resolution was
dopted on February 24, l'JUi.
The governor insisted that the minu-
tes of that meeting ibe obtained. I!
was found that tlie resolution .ad
toen adopted at a meeting attended b>
only three memtoers of the commis-
sion Frank M. Ouult. Lyon and How
a ixl.
I'uted Tlie Way Tlien.
"I was never informed of the adop-
tion of such a resolution." the gover-
nor asserted. "Yon paved the way
right then for the renewal of the Mar
land leasesc."
Valuations placed on the impro\ <
meats on the Marland leases (by three
appraisers named toy the school laud
commission were approved by unani-
mous vote, with the exception of leas
es oir wihdrih there were (producing
wells driller prior tx February 2-t.J
1916, the date of the passage of tin
resolution. (Governor Williams con-
tended that even under the resolution
wells drilled prior to its passage could
not l>e included in the valuation of the
i:i vrovments.
.polled It) llon„rd.
Here he rallied tlie u«pport of How-
ard. who voted wMh hkm against ae
ceptinfe the report of the appraisers
on leasts where old producing wells
were situated. These old wells, mail}
of them now nearly exhausted, now
hold ir prosceet of ev« r paying toaf *
the cost of drilling the holes.
Among tbe leases on which there is
1*oduction, sub-leaces are held toy the
Cosden Oil & Gas Company, the Kama
Cine lair and Uncle Sam oil companies.
The most valuaible lease appraised is
in Pawnee county, aim is held by tin
tosden cam pan y.
The value of tlie improvements
placed on this property above was fixed
I' the appraisers at $1 £7,122. While
no estimate aaj th. value of tliis lease
has toeen tiled with the commission < x-
perts have asserted that it is worth
$2,000,000.

It was decided to advertise the lease..
for 46 days. The Da iky Oklalionian

less corn than they ate years ago.

ones that should eat it, because it is
at its toest when it has uot be>n trans-

these reasons, the United States De-

American families return to the
simple- life ideal and make their own
corn meal and hominy at home dur-
ing the fall and winter months.

State Department officials contin-
ued to maintain silence as to what
will be the outcome of the Swedish af-
fair. They took the attitude that the
next move is oue for Sweden to take.
Similarly the Swedish legation, dur-

ter. maintained silence.

says a corn expert of the department,
this flavor is unknown or is merely a

Instead of merely eating mor

ed that Americans should appreciate
and exercise the privilege of eating
