The meeting of Ihe Grand Lodge A.
O. U. W. of Oklahoma, just closed,
was a most satisfactory one. The re-
ports of its officers were more than en-
couraging, and proves beyond cavil
lhat it leads as a fraternal organiza-
tion. Notwithstanding the hard times
the order has increased iu membership
wonderfully during Ihe past year, and
is in splendid condition financially,
having met all its losses promptly, and
having money in its treasury.—Ed-

Western Kansas lands are in demand
again. The Santa Fe laud department
reports larger sales of Kansas lands iu
the past six months than iu the same
length of time for a number of years,
and utmost equal to the entire sales of
189«. Land Commissioner Frost says
"The sales made so far this year have
been heavy when compared with the
sales of recent vears. With few excep
tions the sales were made in the graz
iug districts, and grazing will be carri
ed on more extensively iu the southwest
than ever before since that territory
was devoted exclusively to grazing.

Hick Quinn has the nerve to say
what he thinks, aud he usually thinks
the right thiug as evidenced by the
following from his Hardesty Herald of
recent date: "This paper is occasion-
ally asked to print a 'Card of Thanks.'
We always refuse and do not print
them gratis or for pay. To thank
people for 'assisting in the sickness
and dentil' of a 'loved one1 is a fot lisli
custom. It is the plain and neighborly
duty of every citizen to assist iu such
emergencies, aud no man deserves
thanks for doing his duty, more par-
ticularly in cases of the kind mentioned.
On the other hand a person in a neigh-
borhood who would decline such a duty
ought to be ridden on a rail. If you
ever want a 'Card of Thanks' published
please do not come to this paper for
it is not a pleasant task to refuse such
notices. If you will stop to consider
the matter you will realize the utter
foolishness of such publications.
The Minco Minstrel says: The
Wichitas and Caddos are now making
a strenuous effort to obtain from the
government the right to 040 acres of
laud as an allotment, in place of the
customary 160 acres. It is almost
foregone conclusion that Choctaws
and Chickasaws will be awarded pay-
ment for all surplus lands, after al
lotment, in both these western reserva
tions: and in their despair of ever get
ting the rightful dues in any other way,
the Wichita aud Caddos are moving
every influence to gain a more exten-
sive homestead. These tribes, especi-
ally the Wichitas, whose home this
has always been, are entitled to more
consideration and have received less
of it tbau any tribe in the west. The
Minstrel is strongly in favor bursting

task of dividing the thorns along life's
pathway and culling all fhe bouquets
that might become visible."
We have wired Ihe old mnn to hold
the lot until we can get Pete Drum-

Quinn of the Hardesty Herald, to help
us divide the snap. You fellows can
have your pick and we'll take the tail

A Conservative View.
The Paducah Headlight under date
of July 10, says: "A herd of cattle
from Stonewall county belonging to
W. W. Mann, thnt passed through
Paducah last week, was stopped just
this side of Childress by quarantine
officers and after being held a few days
were turned back, and passed through
town Wednesday en route to Stone-
wall county. Cattle men should be,
very careful about driving infected
cattle, as they are most sure to be
caught, and the range through which
they have been driven is liable to be
quarantined, through no fault of the
owners of such range; besides the cat-
tle that may be killed along the route.
If cowmen are not more careful, the
result will be the whole state will be
quarantined by the government, and
then down will go the price of cattle."

The means employed to prevent the
Boophilus Hovis, or cattle tick, from
carrying death and destruction into
herds of native cattle are so thorough
that there is little wouder one hears so
little these days of splenetic fever iu

At the stock yards there arc two cat-

inspector of the Kansas State Live
Stock Sanitary commission. The cat-
tle purchased by stocker and feeder
buyers arc closely inspected and the
railroad companies are not allowed to
receive them for shipment unless a
permit signed by an inspector has
been filed with their agents.
"I have a suggestion to make," said
Joseph G. McCoy yesterday, "which
if heeded will facilitate the shipment
of stockers and feeders purchased on
this market to interior points in Kan-
sas. My suggestion is, that when a

Ury Weather risk.
Judge Maruui was over at Guthrie
last week anil told a K. C. Star report-
er a very good third-class llali lie and
offered to prove It hy the editor of this
religious review of current evenU.
The story Is us follow*:
"Said Seualor Maruin: 'It happened
din ing a rain last Monday. Callleuiau
Duncan ot Kay couuty, known all over
the Western ruuge, was on Persimmon
creek, fifteen miles south of Woodward,
when lie was overtaken by Ibe rain.
Immediately alter Ihe first downpour,
lie was surprised lu see the ground
covered with fishes, measuring Irom
one-half to six inches ill length. Xliin-
can .ought shelter iu u lurin house,
aud when suppci was seived his plate
was piled with llsli that had been
picked up iu the faruier'a trout yard." "
Sorry we can't back your statement.
Judge! It is'nl in our cluss. Had you
told the real facts In tbe case instead
of attempting to ascrit>e the phenome-
non to the clouds we would vouch for
you. The real reason so many fish
were caught in the front yard was
from the fact that the head waters of
Persimmon creek had dried up and
hundreds of fish thus deprived of their
native element and finding the route
down the sinuoiiB sandbars of Persim-
mon too long, just simply took a short
cut overland for the North Canadian,
aud many were slopped iu that front
yard by a fancy net wire fence; hence
Ihe supply of fish for Duncan's supper.
You would also have been williln truth-
ful limitations had you slated the fur-
ther fact that, for over a week the
ground was bespangled by the silvery
sheen uf thousands of fish Hopping in
regular matching order from the dried
up witters of the Persimmon to the
purling depths of the North Canadian,
oyer the divide three miles away. Prac-
tice up a bit, Judge, or you will ruin
the reputation of Woodward county.

By LUTEN WILCOX.
This new book is the only complete work in English upon the subject and
treats fully on every phase in the great science of Irrigation, partieularly as
to construction of works and the application of water in the production of
crops. It contains twenty chapters and ft glossary of irrigation terms, 320
pages and 100 illustrations. One of the salient features of this work is tho
manner in which the cultivation of the soil is set forth, Ihe author holding
that cultivation is quite as nei-essarv us irrigation itself. The book is publish-
ed by the Orange Judd ('ornrumy. New York, and is handsomely hound in
eloth, and contains a full index.
