131 W. Mala St
Oklahoma City. Okla.
Pittsburg, Pa., last week. The delega-
tion appointed by Governor Haskell
has worked unsparingly In the inter-
est of Oklahoma. Prof. Gould, state
geologist, in an address before the
congress said that Oklahoma had
more kinds of mineral and more min-
eral of a kind than any state in the
union, and that at the present time
not one-hslf of one per cent of the
mineral wealth has been developed.
He enumerated 20 or more minerals
found in Oklahoma. He also said that
in 100 years from now Pennsylvania
would be known as the Oklahoma or
the east.
Senator Dick, of Ohio, in comment-
ing on this address said in a speech
before the congress:
“I’m glad to know that Oklahoma
is giving a good account of herself.
I was perhaps as largely instrumental
as anyone in securing statehood for
Oklahoma—in fact I stood in the light
of God-father in the senate to the baby
state. It's a great pleasure to me that
the baby is demonstrating to the
world that she was worthy of the
care which was given her."
For the second time Prof. Gould
was secretary of the committee on
resolutions and had much to do with
shaping the ’iellberations of the con-
gress.

largest crowds which has ever as-
sembled in the Rio Grande valley.
Violated Safety Act
Charleston. W. Va.—The Chesa-
peake & Ohio railroad company was
fined >1,500 in the United States cir-
cuit court upon conviction on fifteen

appliance act.
