HOBART, OKLAHOMA, FRIDAY. JUNE 22, 1906
OUR POPULATION.
The question of the population of
Hobart is often asked, and is as often
answered. The answers,however, vary
according to the knowledge of those
Who undertake to furnish tbe informs
lion. Hence the estimates they tnak*
rang? from 4,000 to 8.000, but tbe city
assessor, J. B Yeager, wbo has jus:
finished the 1906 assessment, reports
that the total population of Hobart is
6,033. Of course it was impossible for
him or any other assessor to fiod all our
citixens. There ate but oreds of young
men who have no fixed pUct* of habita-
tion, and these it was impossible for the
assessor to find. Therefore, it is safe
to say that our population is now about
5,600.
At no time in our history has the city
been mjre prosperous. Usually at this
season of the year there are numbers of
vacant houses, their occupants having
moved to the country during crop sea-
son, but now every bouse is occupied,
and every week finds several new fami-
lies moving in.
Our growth in the next few years will
■well our 6,500 inhabitants to 10,000
The natural resources of the country
are such as to make this curtain. No
town is supported by a better agricul-
tural region, to say nothing of the min
eral resources ih are now in process
of development. Let another railroad
enter this city, which is a c -rtaioty a
Do distant date, and 10 UOO iohabitants
is assured, even if tbe mineral resources
tributary to us should not be developed.
Everything taken into consideration

who stay with her will be the ones that

the various counties will be beard rela
tive to the redisricting. He believes
the full six months will be required by
the Indian Territory districting board.
So it may be well for us to maka up our
minds that statehood de facto will not
be displaced by statehood de jure for
many moons yet.
iuc aeasou ol toe year lor camping at
a health resort is at hand, and many of
our citizens are taking an outing in the
south part of the county among the
mountains, where they can have plenty
of spring water to drink and good and
clear stream® to fi'h in.
Oats and wheat will not be our laig-
est crops this year. Corn and cotton
will bave a prominent place in the long
list of agricultural staples. Then there
comes the crop of candidates. This
promises to tx a bumper crop, but as to
how profitable it may be depeads open
circumstances.
All doubt and uncertainty about tbe
statehood question is settled. The next
thing in order will be the election of
delegates to the constitutional conver
tion. Of these delegates Oklahoma and
the Osage Nation get 57, and what was
once Indian Territory 55.

It's unpleasant, but wholesome. It is
evident that business and square deal-
ing is becoming more popular every
day. The way the "captains of indus-
try" acquired their sudden wealth is
being made clearer each day. Equal

leges to none is the propt-r system, but

STATMOOD AT UST.
After years of wrangling both in and
out of congress, Oklahoma and Indian
Territory are now the State of Okla-
homa. This means much to our coun-
try. The uncertainty and untestamong
our people will disappear as if by magic
and the shy capitalists of the E«t will
no longer shudder at the name of Ok-
lohouia because of the territorial bug
aboo.
Those of the states who fesred to
east their lot among us lest their lives
and property should be endangered by
the "lawless" of our country, will have
no further excuse for remalnicg away
While the rights of all have been
guarded as sacredly in Oklahoma as in
eny other part of the Union, yet thous-
ands of honest people iu the states, wbo
really desired to come here, have tn-en
deterred by this fear from doing so.
The admission of these territories will
turn the tide of immigration toward the
southwest and tbe population will be
doubled in a short time. Not only will
we derive benefit* from an increased
population, but hundreds of existing
evils can be corrected when we are per-
mitted to control our o n local affaire.
One of tbe most important questions
to come up for ns to settle is tbe fram-
ing of a constitution. Hence none but
the very bei>t men in the whole territory
should be elected as delegates. Let all
men of erudition and Honor.
In 1905 the wbtat yield wa- 693,000,-
000 bushels, which was the largest crop
ever harvested, except that of 1901,
wbich was 748,000000 bushel*, f'roni
the present indications the 1906 crop
uiay go up to or above tbe 700,000 000
bushel mark. The farm value of the
wheat crop of 1905 on December 1 of
that year was put at $518,000,000 by the
secretary of agriculture. From the re
cent average of prices the farmers
ought to get about $530,000 000 or 1540,-
000.000 for thiir crop in 19 j6 Oklaho-
ma is contributing more tb^n her share
to this v.ist output. Our wheat crop is
one of the best, if not the best, in our
history.
He wbo makts his own premises cat)
surely draw correct conclusions there-
from. Always look to the premises
when you have a p rvert^r of truth to
contend with.
The first load of the 1906 crop of
wheat was marketed in this city today
(Tuesday). This is the beginning ol
the thousands of bushels that will fino
the way here in a few days. Hereto-
fore Hobart has not been considered a
market for small grain because tbe
country has not produced much wheat
and oats, but this year the crops of
these cereals are large, and Hobart has
already made her arrangements to
take care of all that may be marketed
her . Long lines of wheat wagons will
be a welcome sight to our people, and
it will not be many weeks before the)
can be seen.
Congress, to be sure, has passed the
enabling and admitting Oklahoma and
Indian Territory to etat-bood, but be-
fore a state is actually created oat of
these two territories there are several

best interests of the country at present
and for years to come.
There are some people mean enough
to hope that John D. Rockefeller will
be so terribly seasick on h'6 way to Eu
rope that he will have no desire to make
the return trip.
Those who said we would not get
statehood this year are now trying to
olay the part of the chameleon. But
they are leopards and can't change
their spots.

Bryan's homecomiug will be a good
deal lik* Dewey's. And his chance for
succeeding Rjosevelt will be just about
as good as tbe Admiral's was to succeed
Mcginley.
The Missouri democratic state con-
vention has declared for Bryan for pres-
ident in 1898. He will meet with a
worse deleat than ever before.
It might be a good idea for tbe recep-
tion committee to go out and meet
Bryan and put a lid on bim before he
lands. He might talk too much.

pretty rapidly, and the preparations for
the grand celebration in this city con-
tinues. However, there remains a great
deal to be done in order to entertain tbe
large c-owd that will celebrate with us.

The fanners are still troubled to know

a little discouraging from that view
