reference to a memorandum of five questions
received from you under date of the 18th

answer hypothetical questions, but in view
of the anomalous conditions affecting the
public lands in Oklahoma, I will state as

initiate his claim by entry at the district
land Office, after properly selecting and ex-

allowed six N onths from date of entry with
in which to establish his actual residence on
the land. or, if he so elect, he may initiate his
claim by actual settlement on the land
which may consist of some act or acts con-
Meeting himself with the particular tract
claimed, said act or acts to be equivalent TO
an announcement OF his intention, and from
which the public generally nay have notice
of his claim. Thereafter. he is allowed three
months within which to make his claim of
record by entry at the district land office.

The Twin City Street Car Strike.

After week tie-up, the street car COM
pany STARTED their cars in q perfunctory man
ner, accompanied by an immense squad OF
police on horseback, in the patrol wagons
and IN the cars Thursday. In st. Paul, the
business was limited to three cars which went
IN q BODY over single line. They were the
trst horse cars to be moved in st. Paul for
SIX Gays, and'were operated under guard
OF lily six policemen the whole forming a
cayalcade that would be found somewhat
aWe-1nsplrng even at a carnival The strong
shoW wing OF police, however, undoubtedly had
most wholesome effect upon the
strikers and their sympathizers
they saw that when the com
pany chose to run cars they would be pro-
tected IN running Them and that both the
company and police meant business. The
temper aroused here and there in the crowds

street car traffic indicated plainly that but

drivers would have Jared very roughly, to
say the least AS it was, comparative order
was maintained, the five arrests made as an
outcome OF the company's move were scat
tered through the day, and at no time did
the gallant ftty-six have to face mob.
There were big crowds at different points,
and the drivers were hooted and eered at by
wholesale. But beyond this there was no
outbreak. Nota stone was thrown, not
blow struck. The first round between com
pany and strikers found the company on
top.
Twenty new men, of whom the strikers had
absolutely no knowledge, were landed at
one OF the stables. 1t would seem, m ore over
that the strikers would not now be taken
back by the company should they so desire.

police authorities to decide when the other

Just as fast as is considered practicable.
There is growing ceiling on the part of the
public that the backbone of the strike is
broken. and that the strect railway company
are ahead. The strikers and their friends,
however, still keep up their confidence.

A Baptist clergyman in Chicago re-
Gently made a book trade with
Congregational clergyman and he
discovered that the Congregational

Sunday sermon into one of the beau

the Baptist clergyman determined to

enjoy a joke on one another. But
this joke was a double-edged one.
Along about the middle thereof the
