C. G. JONES RECEIVES A STRONG
LETTER FROM CHAIRMAN OF
SENATE COMMITTEE
MUST BE SINGLE STATEHOOD
Schemes of No State Crowd Will come
to Naugkl
Oklahoma City Okla. Oct. 22
In a letter received from Senator
Beveridge of Indiana by CO. Jones
of this city chairman of the single
statehood executive committee the
senator expresses his sangvine
opinion that Oklahoma and Indian
Territory will be given statehood
this winter. After congratulating
the committee on its work and
indorsing the action of the people
in the effort to make one state out
of the two f-.-rritories the senator
says; ; "Certainly this is the
only measure that can ever pass
either house of congress. The
scheme to make Indian Territory a
separate state cannot possibly
succeed. It has no redeeming
argument behind it. Oklahoma
and Indian Territory were origin-
ally one. Let then be made
one again and when thus reunited
let them be admitted as one
spendid American commonwealth
equal in size to Kansas and Neb-
raska and other great western
states and richer in resources than
any commonwealth of the south-
west exceptingouly the magnificent
state of Texas."
The proposition to make Oklaho-
ma and Indian Territory one state
recti ved the entire indorsement of
congress at the last session and it is
safe to predict that the same maj-
ority will le lined up for the
measure at the coming season. In
regard to this the senator says:
"Most assuradly there are manyjof
tis who will never consent to the
creation of two comparatively in-
siguificient states one out of Ok
lahoma and the ether out of Indian
Territory. We were able to defeat
a bill making Oklahoma a separate
state when we were in the mirlority
in the senate; certainly we will be
able to defeat a bill to make Indian
Territory a separate state now that
we are in the majority.
Alluding to the Mnskogee con
vention the senator says: "After
your great statehood convention at
Oklahoma City last year I am
amazed to hear of the scheme being
manipulated in the Indian Terri
tory to create a separate state of
that territory. From the infornia
ion which Las been given me of
that effort however I think I un-
derstand it and I do not think con-
gress will be long in understanding
it either. Its only possible effect
would be to defeat any kind of
statehood. But thos of us who
have been giving the best effort of
our lives to make Oklahoma a great
state which she ought to be made
will do our best to see that the
the Indian Territory scheme has
no such effect."
TOOL HOUSE CAUGHT FIRE
About 8 O'clock L Night' No Great
Damage Done.
Fire started among the waste in
the Rock Island tool house near
the machine shops about 8 o'clock
last night. At first a destructive
fire teemed imminent but the
Rock Island fire fighting brigade
got busy promptly and soon had
the flames extinguished. No alarm
was given to the city fire depart-
ment but the boys went to the
scene. Their services however
were not needed as the fire was al-
ready under control. No great
damage was done.
Notice is hereby given that I will
prosecute anyone caught hunting
on the Smith farm regardless of
who the party may be. J. T.

Topeka Kan. Oct. 22. -Congressman
Chas. Curtis of the First Kan-
sas congressional distris. returned
home Thursday from a trip to
Washington. Mr. Curtia while not
on the territorial committee has
been one of the most ardent workers
for the territeries in the way of state-
hood and was closely associated
wiih the late Senator Quay. He
says that the feeling at Washing
ton is strongly in favor of single
statehood for Oklahoma and In-
dain Territory.
"I firmly believe said he "that
the statehood bill will pass both
houses during the coming long ses-
sion of congress which convenes the
first Tuesday in December " When
asked what weight that separate
statehood convention held in Itidain
Territory might have he said:
"That depends upon what show-
ing they make. With me personally
it will have no weight whatever
no matter what kind of a showiug
they make this winter. Why it is
foolisness to think of dividing the
two into two state. A look at the
map shows that. If '.:hey they were
divided they would make two in-
significant and weak state? to say
nothing of the unhapliness of its
outline. Together it would make
one of the best states in the union
and when it does get statehood as
I hope and believe it snail it will
surely make a good one. With its
last resonrtes hardly yet developed
and magnificent school systems to-
gether with the vast number of
people who are pouring into its
borders it will be one of the strong
(and prosperous states of the union
I will do all j can this winter for
the statehood cause."
! Mr. Curtis is receiving a large
number of letters and petitions ask
ing him to work for prohibition for
the new state. These he will turn
over to the territorial committee.
He says he does not know weath-
er the territory should have pro-
hibition or not but that he is cer-
tain;that the Indians should be pro-
teced in some way. Since the
recent supreme court decision on
this subject Mr. Curtis says
that this will now have to be done
through the enabling act.
Miss Mabel Davidson arrived
this afternoon from Fort Worth to
visit her brother A. H. Davidson
and Mrs. Davidson.
THE TEACHERS MEETING
At South McAlester Called by Supt. Sta-
ley Well Attended.
Supt. Staley attended the meet-
ing of superintendents teachers and
directors at South McAlester Sat-
urday. The meeting" was well
attended. It was called by Mr.
Staley and was for the purpose of
calling the attention of Congress to
the needs of the territorial schools.
In his call for this meeting Supt.
Staley said:
"Fellow Teachers By authority
of the Rock Island Teachers and
Directors Association I am sending
out these cards inviting all super-
intendents principals and any oth-
ers interested to attend a meeting
at South McAlester on the 21st inst.
The chief object is to place mat-
ters pertaining to the financial in-
terest of schools in such a shape
that the friends of statehood can
urge a generous provision for the
cause of education. Let us see
that congress understands the con-
ditions of the schools. Help has
been extended to children in rural
districts why not the children who
live in towns. Be sure to come to
South McAlester on the evening of
the 20th or the meeting of the 21st.
Yours in the name of the chil-
dren of the Indian Territory

Supt.. Chickasha.
MY FRIEND FROM ARKANSAW
One of the greatest successes of
the past dramatic seasons was
Robert Sherman's production of
the four act comedy drama
"My Friend from Arkansaw." It
is again meeting with the same
success this season for the people
who withnessed it before are
appreciating better and discovering
new beauties in its presentation.
This drama will live for many
seasons for it is a clean healthy play
and decidedly interesting. "My
Friend from Arkansaw" is full of
heart interest rich in comedy
and possesses strong dramatic
scenes. It tells a pretty and
strong story in a simple direct
manner and certainly those who
enjoy heart-reaching stories in
dramatic form cannot afford to miss
it. The above play will be seen
at the opera house Tuesday
Oct. 24.
