THURSDAY, JAN. 19. i9°5-
Reports from Washington state
that Senator Long, of Kansas, pre-
sented an amendment to the state-
hood bill restoring the right of
school land lessees to preference
right in the purchase of lands held
by them and that the amendment
was accepted by the senate com-
mittee. This ought to put the les-
sees in a good humor again.
The senate committee has made
one good change in the statehood
bill and that is the substitution of
the word "if" for the word
"when" in the clause pertaining
to the sale of school lands. "When
the lands are sold" might be taken
as signifying that they are expect-
ed to be sold some day, but "if
they are sold" has no such infer-
ence and leaves the matter entirely
with the future state of Oklahoma.
It seems that the correspondent
of the Dallas News greatly exag-
erated the cotton burning incident
at Altus last week. The Altus
News says that instiad of two
bales being burned it was two bags
full, and the quality was such
that it was absolutely unmarket-
able—could not be sold for any
price. It was so "sorry" indeed
that it had to be coaxed and
worked with to get to burn #t
■11 Altus jtut wanted a little
cheap notoriety, and she got it
without costing her anything.

some of them a case of pneumonia.
Monroe Staples and Claud Con -
ner have each bought a new buggy
and we now warn the girls to look
just a little out. From appear-
ances Claud is in need of some one

One day last week while several
were out rabbit hunting Cecil Bar-
ton made a very narrow escape
from being killed by the accidental
firing of a gun in the hands of an-
other, the whole load passing just
a few inches over his head.
At the last meeting of our Farm-
ers' Union two new members were
added. Resolutions were passed
to curtail the acreage on cotton.
Each stated the amount which he
intended to plant, aud the acreage
reduction was 35 per cent. The
Sweet plan was lightly discussed
and generally disapproved, as no
one could see anything in it for the
poor man. We think that all of
the amendments necessary to ren-
der this plan available for the ordi-
nary farmer would convert it into
almost a new one.
