NOT MUCH OF A GENTLEMAN.
Hominy, Okla.—With the Osage bill
passed by one branch of congress and
with its assured passage through the
other branch of that body people of
the Osage county have taken on a new
lease of life, for with the passage of
that bill the Indians of till* vast coun-
try will be allowed to change their
homestead from one section to an-
other, as well as sell all ef their land
with the exception of 160 acres.
This means that each Indian will be
allowed to sell about 450 acres of land
at once. Many people have resided in
this Osage country for many years
Just for Buch a movement as this and
they are feeling elated over the pros
pect of their dreams being realized.
The dead Indian land, which is
among the very best In Oklahoma,
will also be thrown upon the market.
The people here seem to think that
the Osage country will now enjoy a
boom that will soon rank It in the high
position that it should have among the
uountleh of the state.
Alva, Okla—At a meeting of the
citizens held here whose number taxed
the capacity of the largest auditorium
In town. It was unanimously voted to
donate $160,000 to aid the St. Louis,
Oklahoma and Pacific railroad, which
company proposes to build a line of
road from Alva to Des Moines, N. M.,
through the Panhandle by way of Buf-
falo and Hooker.
A representative of French bankers
direct from Paris who has been hers
for several days was present and told
the people that his clients would pro-
vide the millions necessary to the
building of the road. Local parties
have been working on this matter for
some time and expect to be able to
commence construction work within I
very short time.

Oklahmoa City—President B. L.
Wlnchet! of the Frisco says that the
recent purchases by his road of 2,750
freight cars, seventy passenger cars
and other equipment will satisfy
Frisco needs along that line for six
months, provided no large change In
business comes. As for steel rails, he
said that 10,000 tons o last year's or-
ders are still undelivered, owing to
the plan of satisfying the more press-
ing needs for maintenance. Frisco's
normal yeariy renewal rail require-
ments are In excess of 30,000 tons and
contracts for these all will have been
let by July 1. During the past two
and one-half years the Frisco has an-
nually spent $500,000 In tie renewals.

tor Ed Boyle has (sued a statement

tion In Tennessee, Texas, Kansas, Ne-
braska and South Dakota combined,

Rumely Co., vs. Elwood Denney, et al„
from Canadian county, grew out of the
purchase by Denny of a threshing ma-
chine outfit from the Rumely com-

Ban Sebastian,
beautiful northern coast resort o
Spain King Alfonso XIII enjoys life
in hie boyish, free fashion. Imagine
a great round bay to locked In that
Its waters are a pond. High around
Its edges circle the villas of the rich,
while along the aandy shore the Royal
Yacht club and bath houses adjoin
private beaches next to the great
hotels and the public promenade*
Along the sands the public bath
houses and gay tents flash all colors,
fairly soaked In sunlight, even In late
autumn. The stone promenade, bor-
dered by shade trees and forged Iron
balustrades, continues round the bay,
through gorgeous parks and gardens
to the public gambling halls, with the
marble terraces and flowers, restau-
rants and cafes of one of the most
luxurious casinos of Europe. Back of
all this la the modern built town of
wide, shady streets, parks and monu-
ments In bronze and marble, rlcn
shops, cafe terraces and flaunting awn-
ings, street sprinklers, gushing foun-
tains and that mixed perfume of or-
ange peel, violets and tuberoses that
markB the south of Europe.
Chief of the villas perched high,
around the bay is the king’s Miramar
palace, half hidden among Ita forests.
At night any traveler can lose him-
self in Its winding alleys, lighted by
900 electric lamps. Anyone who has
been there must have thought how
easy it would be for armed conspira-
tors to enter the park and take the
palace by surprise. The guard at tbe
gate is composed of three men of tbe
Minarets corps. At the wide door of
