Law and Order League.
Nowata.—A law and order league
has been organized with nearly 200
members. Strict enforcement of the
■laws and to make the city clean mor-
ally is the object. The organization

inen men of the city. The officers

ness for the test of the new water
works system in this city by W. W.
Cook & Son. the contractors, and the
city officials. It is conceded that
Henryetta will have the highest water
pressure in the state from a gravity

Guthrie.—Governor Haskell revok-
ed his action of August 22 last year
honoring requisition papers from the
governor of Texas for Milt Dupree,
wanted at Brownwood on several
charges of gambling and selling liquor.
Dupree made a sensational escape
from the officers at the door of the
Oklahoma county jail last August,
when it was sought to take him back
to Texas. Governor Haskell has set
a date, March 24, for the hearing on
the requisition and asks that Dupree
be placed under $500 bond by the dis-
trict court of Oklahoma county in the
meantime.
High School Dedicated.
More Carriers for Ardmore.
Ardmore.—A. A. Acheson, postoffire
inspector, who has been here making
investigations concerning the recom-
mendations of Postmaster Douglas
that the carrier service be extended
in the city, said while here that the
growth of Ardmore since the last ad-
dition was made to the delivery ser-
vice indicated that he would recom-
mend the addition of other carriers to
extend the limits of free mail delivery
to cover the entire city and the new
additions. He also favors a sub-station
®n Main street.
Stillwater.—The new high school
building here, which has been in pro-
cess of construction for several
months, has been formally opened
and dedicated with appropriate exer-
cises. Superintendent C. L. Kezer,
of the city schools, presided. The
program included an address by
Mayor Rogers, member of the school
board, and speeches and papers Dy

new building represents an expendi-

schools of the state "and report to the
house whether or not there was any
fraud or Improper method used in
their location, and if so. by whom and
for whose benefit, and whether or not
there should be relocation of these
schools." The resolution was referred
to the special Investigating committee.
The investigation is sought as a se-
quel to the senate's action in ordering
the location of the school at Helena
changed to Elk City, and also in pursu-
ance of charges recently made in his
newspaper by Representative Anthony
that the agricultural board did not give
the several applicants a square deal

July 16, 1909. The bond issue has
■been held up by the refusal of the
bidder to buy the bonds, and there is
now a suit in court to determine their
'legality.
Buzzaird Is Re-employed.
Woodward.—At a regular meeting or
the board of education it was voted to
employ H. O. Buzzaird as superintend-
ent of the city schools for the ensuing

resolution.
State After Assets.
Bartlesville—The first of the suits
of the state banking board to recover
on the assets of the defunct Columbia
Bank and Trust company of Okla-
homa City were instituted in the dis-
trict court here by Galen Nichols, of
the firm of Allen & Nichols, Musko-
gee. The suits are against Fred P.
Sprau! and G. C. Clarke of Ochelata
and are based on a note signed by
them and held by the Columbia. One
note for $20,005.66 is signed by Spraul
alone, and the other for $3,637.35, is
signed by Spraul and Clarke. The pe-
titions ask that the state be given a
judgment for the amounts, with inter-
est from August, 1909.
The Fee and Salary Biii.
At the end of its first night session
the senate in committee of the whole
recommended the administration and
salary bill for passage. The measure
will come up for final adoption, after
which it will be taken up in the house.
Under the provisions of the bill the
fee system is virtually eliminated and
all county officials and their deputies
placed on salary. The population of
counties is used chiefly as the basis
for fixing salaries.
Charter Talk at Duncan.
Duncan.—It is almost an assured
fact now that in the near future plans
w-ill be started for the adoption of the
commission form of government for
Duncan. For several days some of
the leading business men have been
quietly sounding the voters and the
result is that they feel the people want
the new government. J. H. Leeman, a
member of the city council, is heartily
in favo*- of the commission government
Clark Case Is Dismissed.
Guthrie.—Judge George W. Clark of
Oklahoma City, sitting in the district
court here, dismissed for want of
prosecution the case brought against
former Territorial Treasurer C. W.
Rambo and his bondsmen to recover
$20,000 alleged to have been lost in
the Capitol National bank failure
through Rambo’s carelessness.
Will Compile It Early.
The state board of agriculture will
set a precedent this year by compiling
its first monthly crop report for 1910
a month earlier than usual. The board
is now sending out blanks for a report
to be made on the first of March of
the growing condition of crops and of
the proposed acreage of 1910 crops. In
previous years the first report c-f the
season was gotten out April I. The
questions that are now being sent out
by the board embrace a much larger
field of information than has previous-
ly been asked for.
Meets Approval of Miss Kate.
Tulsa.—Miss Kate Barnard, commis-
sioner of charities and corrections, in-
spected the Sand Springs poor farm,
kept by Charles Page, Tulsa’s million-
aire benefactor of the destitute poor.
Miss Barnard commended Page and
his work highly. The farm, contain-
ing 600 acres, has spent considerable
money in improving the springs, erect-
ing buildings and installing a zoologi-
cal garden, and has had a "Katy” pas-
and other members of the council will i senger station established at the fajrm,
give it support. j six miles west of Tulsa.
Recall Is Needed.
The recall of public officials which
has been a mooted question since the
constitutional convention, was brought
up again by a joint resolution intro
duced by Senator Yeager, providing for
a constitutional amendment to that ef-
fect. The new proposition differs
Bomewhat from those previously ad-
vanced, however. In that it places the
matter in the hands of the friends of
the official, instead of allowing his
enemies to take advantage of it. A
sixteen per cent petition is required.
