TERRITORIAL NOTES
The flouring mill of Wolz & Son was
destroyed by fire at Okeen with a loss
of $15,000 and $10,000 insurance.
Cleveland, in Pawnee connty. has
evidently struck real oil. The drill is
only 1,300 feet. The town is oil -crazy,
and all the land around is being leased.
John Allen, editor of the Voice, was
elected a member of the populist na-
tion committee at Springfield 111., and
will be a member of the executive
committee of that body.
Miss Rhetta Crow, of Lawton, has
found favorable newspaper mention
for her dramatic reading at one of the
studios where she made her debut, in
Chicago and Lawton society has its
arms open for her.
Lawton is once more to a ligitimet
daily basis, as the News-Republican
puts it, one democratic and one repub-
lican, The daily Constitution and the
weekly Harpoon have gone up. That
makes eleven gone in the history of I
the city.
Charlie Buchanan, aged 10 years,
was killed at McLoud, by a horse. He
fell in front of the horse, which reared
and broke his back with its hoof when
it came down. His mother is reported
dying from the shock.
Fred Thomas, of Chicago, was killed
in a saloon at Geary, by John Smith,
of Hoopeaton, Illinois, as a result of a
Fourth of July quarrel. Thomas has a
sister in Chicago who was immediately
notified. Both men were strangers in
the territory.
Members of two families occupying
a house on Turtle creek, three miles
southeast of Arapahoe, G. A. Flenner
and wife, their daughter and son-in-
law, Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Baker, and
three children belonging to the latter
and all were drowned excepting Baker
in a storm that struck that section
last week. There were other causalities.
When Judge Parker read that tele-
gram from Roy Hoffman, congratulat-
ing him on his nomination, Sunday af-
ternoon, as he sat among his friends
on the front porch of his home at Eso-
pus, it is said he looked up with enthu-
siasm and exclaimed. "When i am elect
ed the first thing i will do will be to
appoint that bright young man govern
or of Oklahoma, or should he decline
that, then chief justice or United
States district attorney. "Do you
know if he were of legal age, the
Pre " Just then one of the
Judge'8 noble Angus bulls broke out of
the pasture and the judge took after
him; and the world will never know
the exact compliment he was going to
pay the president of he Oklahoma Bar
Association.
The Ponca City Curier prints a poem
entitled "When The Bills Come Due,"
without credit to anyone. That is not
fair. It is all right to steal from some
dead celebrity, but that poem was
written by Freeman E. Miller and ap-
peared in his column of "Oklahoma
Sunshine, in the Stillwater Advance.
However, it is an unconcious compli-
ment to Miller that Headly thought it
I
where it came from. It is good. It
and others such, would give Miller a
department on any New York paper.
During the past week the Osage
Indian agent distributed 5220,000
among the Indians. One hundred and
thirty thousand dollars in old Indian
trapers's claims were paid after twen
ty years' standing.
Red Millard is leasing clerk for
Osage Agent Frantz is place of W.
W. Shear, Dr. Jones, of Perry, physi
cian in place of Dr. Harry Walker.
The new agent does not seem to be
badly hampered by dictation.
W. A. Barton, Santa Fe ticket ag-
ent at Oklahoma City, was arrested on
the charge of embezzling $3,500.
The full-blood, or Big Heart party,
lost out in the election held at Paw-
huska last week. There were cast
390 votes of which O-lo-loh-wal-la re-
ceived 224 for (principal chief and Che-
sho-hun-ka 249 for assistant chief.
For members of the council Wah-she-
sha, Hlu-ah-ne-kah, Wah-shin-kah-sop-
py and Che-sho-hu-kah were elected
as progressive and Koh-wah-ho-tsa-ah-
ga-ny, Wilson Kirk, E-to-kah-wah-ti-
1 an-kah and Sylvester Soldani were
elected on the full-blood ticket. From
the way the names are torn to pieces
thjy must have had as stormy times
as the democrats at St. Louis.
Syl Dixon, of Enid, is working on
his wheat train scheme, and hopes to
take out a whole train for exhibit east
and to the St. Louis Fair.
A two-year old child of G. W. Stur-
geon, of Ames, Oklahoma, was drown-
ed by falling into a watering trough.
The flourishing town of Walter, Com-
anche county, will hold a cotton carni-
val in October.
They say Captain Frank Frantz takes
hold of the Osage agency with the
vigor of a Rough Rider.
Ripley had one of the biggest Fourth
of July oelegrations in Oklahoma.
Stillwater and Cushing neither had one
and their citizens attended in large
numbers.
That cabbage head sent by BillTTt-
t'e, the Perry postmaster, to the St.
Louis exposition, may be the biggest
head in the Oklahoma exhibit.
AGRICULTURAL
EDUCATION
The movement to secure an agricult-
ural education through the public
schools of the country is steadily in-
creasing and from time to time mani-
fests itself through unusual channels.
At the recent convention of the Trav
elers' Protective Association at Spring
field, Illinois, addresses were made on
this subject and the Association voted
to present the matter before the Na
tional Educational Association at its
coming annual convention at St. Louis.
The Travelers' Association passed
comprehensive resolution setting forth
that the stability of our social and
business conditions and the prevention
or recurring periods of trade depres-
sion require that the balance of our
population should be maintained on the
land as independent home owners and
producers from the soil and that way;
should be found and carried out for
placing upon the land all unemployed
labor and transforming every "out-of'
work" into the owner of a home on the
land from which he can at all times
get a comfortable living with his own
labor. It was set forth that the entire
American educational system should be
s ) modeled as to induce every child to
be a lover of nature and of the country
and to train him toward the land as a
source of livlihood rather than away
from it: that children should be taught
to farm as they are now taught in
France and Denmark in the public
schools and that farm training schools
should be established by county, muni-
cipal, state and national governments.
The resolution further called atten-
tion to the great remaining public do-
main in the west as by far the most
valuable asset of this nation which will
furnish an outlet for our surplus labor
during this and coming generations
urging that it be reserved for real
home builders who will farm it
small tracts.
The Association appointed a perma
nent committee on Education, Irriga-
tion, Forestry and Land, with a mem-
ber from each state and territory to
carry out the idea of this resolution.
DESTROYED A WHEEL!
At 3 o'clock, Saturday, Col-
onel VV. A. Bauslin, demonstra-
tor for the Racine Buggy Co., pub-
lically destroyed a wheel selected
by a committee composed of citi-
zens, from the stock of W, I).
Packer. The demonstration was
made for the purpose of showing
the superior quality of the Racine
goods over any other on the mar-
ket. A good crowd of interested
spectators witnessed the destruc-
tion of the wheel and all were
convinced that the goods were
just as represented. Following Is
the report of the committee:

of
000,000 this work must be recognized
as one of the very large internal im-
provements of the country. Although
irrigation operations are confined large-
ly to the sixteen arid and semi-arid
western states, the eastern part of
the country must be more or less inter-
ested for several reasons. Men are
constantly moving westward looking
for new homes where they can earn a
a livlihood, or become land owners,
while business men are interested
seeing a development of the west
which will afford them wider home
markets for their manufactured pro
ducts. The changing of the western
deserts into teni of thousands of new
and productive small farms will not on-
y relieve some of the overcrowded sec
tions of the east but will stimulate
business of all descriptions, just as the
opening of the great Mississippi valley
provided a market for the Americai
manufacturer, such, as Secretary Wil-
son says, as can be found in no other 'S'

irrigation policy in full operation
The $25,000,000 now practically avail-
able for irrigation construction, is by
no means the limit of this work since
the fund is constantly growing through
the sales of western public lands, and
as soon as the first irrigation work is
completed, the cost of its construction
will begin to come back into the fund
for use on some other project. It is
not Intended that the government shall
give away the irrigation works. What
government land is placed under irriga-
tion will be given the homesteader free,
conditional only upon his residence and
cultivation; but the cost of putting the
water on the land-the construction of
th« dam and the main ditches-will be
borne by the settler. It is this busi-
ness-like feature of the irrigation act
which has found for it such support
among the businessmen of thecountry.
