Geographical Center
Tho Supremo court In a unanimous
opinion today dismissed tho mandnmus
action brought by citizens of Blaokwoll
to compel Secretary of State Cross to
relet ate tho geographical center of Kay
county and to exclude tho Chllocco In-
dian reservation as n part of the coun-
ty upon tho grounds that the suit was
prematurely brought therefore not de-
ciding the principal point raised In the
case which Is whether tho Chllocco
reservation Is a part of Kay county or
not. The court however holds that
tho secretary of state under the county
seat election law Is not required to
designate tho ex-act geographical en li-
ter of the county until after the 'ioc-
tlon has been held and a question then
rulsed as to whether the former tem
porary county seat was within tho slx-
mlle radius of the exact geographical
center of tho county. Undqr the coun-
ty seat election law. If tho temporary
or former county seat was within tho
six-mile limit It would tako (io per
cent of tho v. to cast at the tlsciloa to
move the county sa.t .wJwuas. If it
was not It would 'take hut ft majority
voto to move It.
The case was an original mandamus
action brought beforo the Suprani"
court by tho city of BlacUwull. which
has alwayB been a strens rival of New-
kirk tho present county biai. In lunn.

stricken oft oy Former Secretary
Hitchcock Is one of tho most far reach-
ing that haa been handed dcun In re-
cent years. It means that about 20M
persons will be enrollud In the Five
Civilized Tribes and that e&ch of
there will be entitled to the
Bime allotment as that given the oth-
er tr.enbrr of tho tribes. This ;11
Utqw open to litigation lha titlo to
00 (-CO acres of the best lattl in '.bo
former five nations.
At an estimate of 110 an acre this
would be worth $4000000 but this Is
far short rf its tea! value as some of
it is rich oil lanJ worth $1000 an aero.
Most of tuls land was settled1 after tho
complete allotment as twns supposed
was mado to the mombers of tho
Five Tribes and the prescct owners
will now find themselves liable to be
ousted in deferance to tho Indian
claimants whose names have been ad
ded to tho rolls and who aro acord-
lngly entitled to allotments.

Port au Prince Haiti Dec. 1 (By
overland messenger from Aquln Nov.
24) After tho town of Aquln joined
the revolution tho Haaltlon gunboat
Nord Alexis took up a position to
bombard tho fort having given thirty
houre' notice to tho Inhabitants.
Accidentally Lieutenant Command-
er George R. Marvel! U S. N of the
gunboat Eagle on her way to Jac-
mel passed before tho town and
communicated. Lieutenant Com
mander Marvell remonstrated with
the Haitian Admiral on tho proposed
bombardment declaring that ouch an
act as oombardlng an unfortified city
was contrary to International law and
could not be permitted
Tho admiral was easily convinced
and left Immediately without burning
his powder. Tho action of Llouton-
ant Comnmnder Marvoll is praised b)
eiory ono. The city was takon bj
Gen. Simon tho rpiol leader per
sonally on Nov. 22 without firing t
single shot.

Is no vacant land and the newly un-
rolled Chorokees probably wilt rocolve

decUlon.
The 2000 persons whom tho decision
places on tho rolls of tho Five Tribes
wore originally denied enrollment by
the Daw os commission In 1890. The)
were plr.ced on the rolls between 1900
and 1003. It was then discovered that
they hal previously been turned
jwn by the Dawes commission. When
oongress ordered that the rolls of the
Five Tribes bo closed on March 4
1907 the interior department got busy
and on the ground of the earlier de-
nial of membership struck off about
2000 names before midnight of March

COnBN YIELD
The beflt estimate obtalnablo at the
present time. Is that Oklahoma stnto
will have a yield of 700000 bales of
cotton this year as ngalnst 85000 In
1907. This Is the estlmato mavlo by
Charlos F. llarrett secretnry of the
stato board of agriculture. Ho loams
that the ginning figures thus far ob
talnablo show 160000 bales thus far
loss than last season's figures at this
time. Tho estimate of three of the
blggost cotton firms of Oklahoma City
Is 670000 bnles for Oklahoma this
yoar. The idocroaso In yield runs
about the same over the entlro state
and In this particular section tho fall-
ing off is in proportion to that over
tho entire stato.
Local cotton mon who own linos of
ulna throughout Central Oklahoma
ny It takes an avorago of l.OfiO jioiiirdji
if eocl cotton this yoar to make a
halo of lint as against an nverngo of
i.ROO pounds of seed In 1907. In eonie
'nstnucoa cotton Ih running as well ns
lust year but in othors it Ih taking
'ram 1.700 to 1800 pounds to make a
halo of- lint.
Reports being rocolvod at tho office
if tho sccrotnry of t'no board of agrl-
'culture show an average of 70 per
ent of (ho crop picked In tho stnto;
'ocally tho per cont picked is about
two-thirds of the crop. As a rule la-
or has boon sufficient although the
st' .0 labor bureau lias leon trenuont-

on. Some Mexicans and Kulgnrlans
have l n usl In tho picking and in
Westorn Oklahoma some IndlniiB.
Throughout Northern anj Central
Oklahoma the farmer Is selling h's cot-
lon as fast as It Is picked. Thero Is n
disposition In tho soutliprn coun.Mpn to

tho majority of tho crop Is being mar-
