Cabinet

Senators Gore and Owen-Stand
High in Official Circles
at Capital
(Special to the Democrat)
Washington D. C Dec. 11 Tho
last session of the Sixtieth Congress
mot Monday. Unless as somo persons
suspect President Roosevelt springs
somo spectacular legislation as a fit-
ting a closo to his spectacular admin-
istration thcro will bo but little legis-
lation of any character during the
session except appropriations Okla-
homa is specinlly interested in tho ap-
propriations which will includo rivers
and harbors. " '
Congressman Burton of Ohio ia
chairman of tho River and Harbors
Committee. He has given tho Okla-
homa delegation to understand that
tho Arkansas river will be included
in the bill for river improvement.
Congressman C. D. Carter hopes to
get some legislation that will provide
for the sale of the surface of the seg-
regated coal lands in the Choctaw
nation and for the final disposition of
the coal lands in fee simple.
Senator Robert L. Owen believes
that the appropriations for the work
of the Commissioner to the Five Civ
ilized Tribes should ceaso July first of
next year tho time tho work was or
dcred closed when the last appropria
tion was madei Senator Owen is em-
phatic in his opinion that enough time
and money have already been spent to
complete that work and tho only way
to bring it to an end is to stop appro-
priating money to pay for it.
There are fifty-nlno Indians who
were left on" tho rolls when they were
closed at midnight March 4 last. It
is admitted by the Commissioner at
Muskogee and the Department of the
Interior here that theso Indians are
entitled to enrollment but Congress
ordered the rolls closed at that timo
and they were closed. It was no fault
of these fifty-nine Indians that they
were left off. They are entitled to
their allotments. An effort will be
mado to got Congress to admit them
and it is believed tho Department of
Interior will assist in the effort.
Robert G. Valentino who has been
appointed assistant Commissioner of
Indian Affairs has spent much of the
past four years doing field work among
tho Indian reservations of western
Oklahoma and in tho" Five Tribes. He
is thoroughly familiar with conditions
there. Nearly all the appointments
for tho reservations and the reserva-
tion schools will pass through his
hands.
Tho boom for Dennis Flynn for a
position in Taft's Cabinet never got
further north than tho Kansas line.
-No ono here has ever heard xf Flynn
as a Cabinet possibility.
With the exception of Congressman
Davenport who is detained in St.
Louis in the courts tho Oklahoma del-
egation is on hand Senators Owen and
Gore are looked upon with great ad-
miration as senators go hero and
the new state has added immeasurably
to its good name by the calibre of
men it has in its Congressional dele-
gation. The following postmasters have
been appointed in Oklahoma during
the past week: Nettio Hart at Car-
penter; Ella Dutton at Forakcr;
Thomas J. Lindloy at Hamburg? Ellas

UIBERIA'S MANY LARGE CITIES
They Are a Surprise to the American
Vliltor.
One Is continually surprised at
finding such large prosperous cities in
Siberia writes Prof G. E. Dlakeslee
In the Uoston Transcript. Omsk hae
somo 65000 inhabitants Ob 25000
Tomsk 7G.000 Krasnlarsk 35000 and
Irkutsk 00000. In many ways how-
ever they still show the crudeness of
frontier life. In Ob hardly a house
Is over ono story high nnd the dust In
the unpaved streets lies somo Inches
thick. On the otlur hand there Is a
large numbor of schools In tho coun-
try. Tomsk Is tho educational cen-
ter besides being tho largest city. It
has an Institute of technology and a
university of some reputation which
Is attended by seveial hundred stu-
dents. After traveling for days over tho
level monotonous plains of tho west.
It Is a pleasure to reach tho borders
of tho hill country which stretches
from Krasnlarsk some hundred miles
on to Lake Baikal. In one's first en-
thusiasm ono Is tempted to exclaim
that Krasnlarsk U one of tho most
beautiful cities in tho world. It cer-
tainly Is charmingly located remind-
ing one of many a town on tho Ilhtnl'.
It Is built In tho valley whero the
Katscha flows Into tho groat Yenisei
mountains on every side and tho
high hanks of tho river above and bo-
low. Seen from a distance with Its
many church domes glistening be
tween tho hills it makes the most de
lightful picture of all Siberia.
A further rldo of a day and a half
through this hill country much of
which Is heavily wooded with a thick
growth of pine brings one to Irkutsk
which after Tomsk is tho largest city
In Siberia. It Is In many ways a very
attractive place. Its main streets are
paved and It Is lighted by electricity;
It has three dally papers a largo thea-
ter a handsome art museum a tech-
nical school a theological seminary
26 churches and ono of tho most lm
posing cathedrals In tho whole
om -
plre. Thero are two or three factories
in tho city one of which is a porcelain
establishment which turns out most
excellent work. In strolling through
tho business streets one Is surprised
at the' great variety of goods displayed
In tho stores especially at the real ele-
gance of tho silver and jowolry assort-
ments. There are many American
wares to bo Been kodaks sowing ma-
chines typewriters gramophones
reapers tools from Massachusetts
canned fruit from California canned
oysters from Maryland. In somo of the
show windows wero pyramids of
boxes of an American food product
each with a Russian label and a repre
sentation of the American and the
Russian flags.
Irkutsk is over 3300 miles from
Moscow a distance greuter than that
which separates San Francisco from
New York yet it is only two-thirds of
the way to Vladivostok.
Feared for Qod's Safety.
During a recent severe storm when
the thunder and tho electrical display
were appalling in their IntonBity a ter-
rified little girl with an imagination
truly Mlltonlc rushed breathlessly to
her mother at an especially sovero
clap. "Oh!Mjimma mamma!." tho
little creaturo cried In agony; "I'm so
afraid tho thu'nder'll break 'the sky
and God'll tummVout!"
