On the moiiiing of Dee. 3, we left
Woodward, the central |«>int of the
live stock industry of Western Oklaho-
ma and so favorably located in the
north Canadian valley near the knuck-
le joint of the index finger of Oklaho-
ma. to attend and repre-cut as best we
could the interests of Woodward coun-
ty, in the Statehood convention called
to meet in the city of Shawnee. Dee.
4, 1895.
Soon we were far away from the
roaming herds of cattle anil speeding
along through Kansas, with her faded
sunflowers and mountains of yellow
corn bursting out the sides of frail
and inadequate cribs, which like the
ramparts of forts, were scattered around
the towns and cities in Southern Kan-
sas, and along this pleasant route, the
only inconvenience or hardship exi« r-
ienced, was in traveling about ]."iU
miles without a drink.
Oklahoma City was the |«iint at
which the delegates were to gather,
and by 10 o'clock Dei-. 4th, n full dele-
gation was congregated at the Choctaw
depot to advance upon Shawnee.
Probably a happier crowd of people
from all parts of the Territory never
before gathered 011 one train and the
trip from Oklahoma City to Shawnee
was one round of pleasure, character-
ized by singing, speech-making and
other social delicacies too numerous to
mention. Arriving at Shawnee we
were met and royally entertained by
the Grand Hand with its sweetest
strains of music and then escorted to
the Union Avenue Hotel.
Promptly at 3 p. m. the convention
was called to order, inanew and beau-
tifully decorated hall, and there the
convention arose and stood uncovered.
"Beneath the Mistletoe," and listened
to an able invocation, powerful iu di-
rectness and brevity.
Each county being entitled to repre-
sentation on the committees and but
one delegate being present from Wood-
ward county, it devolved upon nie to
represent her on all the committees.
Iu the committee on resolutions the
first hard struggle took place. 10 fav-
oring the majority report and 9 oppos-
ing it.
The Daily Oklalioiunn of Dec. iith
published the majority and minority
reports, and the order of debate in the
following language:
The majority report was as follows
anil was prepared by Hon. Sidney
Clarke:
Jltm!re<l, That the people of Okla-
homa Territory, without distinction of
party, assembled iu delegate conven-
tion at Shawnee on the 4tn day of De
greater llian Ohio, Imliniin. Illinois
and Kentucky, and that during the six
years, there i* now practically nothing
left of that vast Indian domain, except
the territory of the five civilized tribes,
with an area of alMiut 40.000 square
miles ami occupied by -11,1)00 full blood
Indian-. iVi.000 mixed blood, bl.OOO
adopted whites, a freednien and for-
eign population of 300,000, mul all of
which are ruled mid regulated by a
cunning set of gee-string statesmen
and recipients of Federal annuities.
Statistics reveal the fact, that the
Indian Territory i.* one in name ntul
not iu fact, and is at present 11 rende-
zvous for outlaws and speculators and
not a permanent home for the reticent
aborigines, whose hardships, privations
and character have been immortalized
by the unsophisticated historian and
sympathetic poet, who shed tears in
torrents to assuage and blot dlit the
scars made by the degenerate and re-
pressive savage.
The report of the Dawes Commission
to the Secretary of the Interior, dis-
closes interesting facts about the com-
mercial development in the Indian
Territory and says: "These towns
have been built and peopled by white
regents, whose capital lias been in-
vested in large amounts in structures
necessary for the great and increasing
trade which is being carried on at
these centers. Costly and attractive
residences have been erected in many
of tliein. and in character they com-
pare favorably with like towns in any
of the new states, they vary in popu
lation at the present time from 800 ti
.5.000 inhabitants, and with few exeep
tions are doing a surprisingly larg
and prosperous business, and yet those
who have built these towns invested
their capital iu these expensive strue
tures and have made these beautiful
homes, have no title on which the
rest.

Since "the sire is half the herd." il
is of the utmost importance that in his
selection the closest uttention should
lie given nol only to the characteristics
of the animal himself, but to his imme-
diate ancestry. Every breeder believes
111 the transmissionof quality and form
from sire to offspring, and knows that
defects are transmissible equally with
merits. A long list of illustrious sires
does much certainly to establish the
value and reputation of au animal.
but—ami it has been often urged be-
fore- lhal animal's dam should be
known before her produce is accepted
for his list of famous ancestors. Iu
this connection it is related by a Cana-
dian breeder, since gathered to his I night in District

! te?"l!ti.s and transfer line operated
ogrnm, December 4tli: | dally in connection with the Cattle
cember, ltfil.i, for the purpose of con-
sidering the .Statehood question, earn-
estly urge upon the congress of the
United States, at its present session to
pass an enabling act providing for the
admission of Oklahoma as a slate with
sueh boundaries as in the wisdom of
congress will best subserve the cause
of good government.
't he minority report was prepared by
Samuel Crocker, and was as follows: "
ltemlred, Tliat we. the people of Ok-
lahoma Territory, in convention assem-
bled at Shawnee, Oklahoma. December
4, ltJHo, for the purpose of considering
the question of Statehood, earnestly
urge the present congress of the United
States to pass an enabling act for the
purpose of erecting into a state the
Oklahoma and Indian Territories.
The debate which ensued on the
question of which one of these reports
to adopt wa one of forensic eloquence
Md brilliant argument seldom wit-
Thi* remains in the nation wilt
was placed by the original treaty
enty years ago, subject to a reversion
to the United States when the tribe
ceases to exist. The devices resorted
to in the different nations to give the
buildings of these tbwns a semblaw
of a elaim to the land, upon which
they have erected them, are valuable
ly in showing the subterfuges which
the radical departure from the original
plan and basis on which these govern-
ment* were established, lias forced
them to adopt. These devices havt
alidity in law. The title still re-
mains in the nation subject to tht
above reversion and must from its
nature be held by the nation for
the use of all its citizens, share and
share alike, and cannol he appropiiat
ed to the exclusive use of any one eiti
zeu or resident.
Shawnee is a beautiful little citi
villi a population of nearly 5.UOO, lo-
ated on the Choctaw .railway -10 miles
ast of Oklahoma City, surrounded by
tall, spiral oaks, and the city is full of
energetic and hospitable people, who
gave us all the pleasures and liberties
of the city, excepting the privilege of
kissing the Imbies and it is hardly nec-
essary to remark that we waived the
privilege of kissing tlie babies.
From Woodward to .Shawnee, a dis-
tance of o00 miles, is a country of di-
versified industries and climate, and
the semi-circle necessary tube travers-
ed by a Woodwardite might properly
be described as the cattle, corn and
cotton route. At Woodward we see-
the large herds of cattle, the capacious
stock yards and the depot platform
covered with hides ready for shipment.
In Southern Kansas miles of com cribs
filled to overflowing reveal the leading
industry of that locality, while moun-
tains of cotton at Shawnee tell the
story of a mildc climate and productive
soil.
The kind people of Shawnee had
prepared to give the delegates a grand
ball but convention work compelled
the delegates to labor until midnight
and deny themselves the pleasure of
such ii treat, but among the many
pleasant hours spent in eastern Okla-
homa, one of unusual interest, was
that spent at Judge and Mrs. Henry
W. Scatls' reception at their pleasant
anil beautiful home in Oklahoma City.
The Statehood convention brought
people together from all parts of Okla-
homa, and the Chickasaw country and
the gentlemen from tbe latter place

they are doing the proper thing in un-

change in prices during the next few-
weeks it cannot be for the worse.

for the
/oiic Stiir Commission Company would
not then litul a man like myself to rcp-
nt tliein. I also took" in the old
Catholic church which is :Ei2 years old
and saw the little rooms where confes-
sions were made to the priest and lip
til ed up that enough sins hail been for
triveil in those little rooms to almost
depopulate the devil's kingdom; saw
the basin where the holy water is kept
and a mail came in, dipped his linger
in il and rubbed it across his forehead
and I thought if that made him any
better I would like to sit down it clear
o the neck and see what effect it had
on me. But as 1 only had one pair of
pants I thought I'd better not get 'em
wet.
I left Stui Antonio for Eagle I'ass
on the evening train and got tiere at
U:4.i that night. Can't say yet when I
n get away, though not much before
e 1st in any event.
1 will t *11 you how I spent the Sab-
bath. Went to church at 11 a. m. and
begun to think I was a pretty good
man since I got away from Woodward.
But in the evening along came a Mex-
ican boy hollowing out something, I
won't attempt to say what, and I ask-
ed someone what that fool Mexican
was yelling mid they told me lie was
crying a bull-fight across the line in
Old Mexico, at 4 o'clock that evening.
Well, don't you know, before I could
think what I was doing 1 was half way
over there, and so all my good deeds
of the morning went up in smoke.
Well it was a "mince" to see those
Mexicans seated around the ring. They
didn't look like angels I imagine, and
when the bull-lighters entered the
ring, of all the cussed hollerin' and
hissing those copper colored coyotes
simply Iod everything I ever heard.
Pretty soon, out comes a red bull wiih
ft little flag and ribbons stickin' over
him, and you bet*your life lie had his
stinger out. He would run at first one
Mexican and then another, bawl and
reek. They are preparing to hav
Christmas tree at their residence on
Christmas night.
