Oklahoma Times-Journal-The WichI-
IA EAGLE Is right when it says that the
expansion of the settlements in Oklaho-
ma Is one OF more importance than
statehood. We are cut off on every
side, and save from the south, new rail
roads desiring TO enter oklahoma must
traverse an unsettled region quite as ex-
tensive as Oklahoma itself. Under such
circumstances roads are not likely to en-
ter Oklahoma until the settlements ara
continuous from kensas TO Texas, and
from Arkansas 70 New Mexico. In this
age il Is not we'll 10 dwell in isolated SET
Elements. The wants Of the vge are
best supplied IN large communities

necesSaries are more easily accomplished

on that such an agitation viii hasten

STATEHOOD FOR OKLAHOMA.
From the Okla homa City Gazette,

From the Okla homa City Gazette.
| The Wichita EAGLE says the Demo
Gratis oppose the opening of the strip. 1t
cites no Democrat or Democratic paper
| sOr such an assertion. 1t has neither
| grounds or reason to believe the Democ-
racy ever thought so. Not only do they
not take such stand, but on every oc-
| caslon and at every convention they de
nounce the Republican administration
for the state of affairs now existing in
the strip. The object of the EAGLE is of
course to scare the ig-Noble secretary
into belief that opening the strip would
make Republican state. This is wor-
thy object, THE fear of hel's hangman's
whip to hold the wretch in order" and
the EAGLE can in no case apply it to a
more deserving wretch than the head of
the interior department.
From the Guthrie Capital
OF course nobody has any idea of a
state until the strip comes in. Congress
will open the strip next spring. 1t can
not be wheedled any longer. The dillv
daily about that land has become an
official stencil which has got to be
Cleansed soon. The EAGLE is mistaken
about there being any politics in this
statehood matter. 1t is simply a matter
of greater prosperity for the people.
There can be no politics in proposition
which benefits all alike The uncertain
ties of a territory preclude free immi-
grafton of capital. The proper devel-
opement of Oklahoma can never occur
until we are freed from the trammels Of
territorial organization and stand out a
free, independent state. Congressional
and administrative dictation intimidate
money and retard progress, At present
we are a full grown man in the unbe-
coming array of swaddling clothes
Democrats and Republicans and Alliance
people are alike enthusiastic for state
hood. The only difference Is, shall it be
q unit Of the two territories or small
commonwealth made from this one. But
one paper advocates separation and it
does SO feebly. The people of both ter
rltories-the men who influence destinies
are for the early building of one rich
and grand state from Oklahoma and the
Indian Territory.

There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
st antly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to he constitutional dis
ease, and therefore reqires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure on the mar
ket 1t is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dollars for
any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials. Address,

CITY ELECTION.-The notice of city
election which occurs on May 18th is
given in another column, officers to be
elected, clerks, judges, polling places,
etc. This will perhaps be the most i'm
portant city election which Corvallis
has ever held from the fact that the
subject of extensive public improve
ments in the city will be discussed by
the next council; the question of city
ownership of electric light plant and
water works will come up and the
voters should know something of the
ideas of the candidates In regnid to
these matters. The city, doubtless, is
in favor of a progressive council, and
the voter should be sure that the
councilman he is voting for is one
which will reflect advanced ideas in
the council chamber. The unseemly
scramble for the paid offices will he
largely avoided in the next election,
as the treasurershlp is the only elective
Office to which there is any compensa-
ton attached. The marshal and re-
corder will hereafter be appointed by
the council. But there is danger that
candidates for councilmen may be
voted for on account of their prefer
ence of certain ones for the appointive
offices instead Of on account Of their
position in matters of greater import
ance to the city.

MINNIE AND ANNIE.-Minnie Will
son is a semi-respectable individual of
questionable nationality, but who has
strong aboriginal propensities. She
sometimes falls into bad company and
becomes inordinately boozy. 1t was
under these circumstances that she
was arrested by Deputy Scrafford on
Sunday evening near the o. P. depot.
She demonstrated vigorously and it be-
came necessary to send for dray upon
which to convey her to the city Jail.
On Monday the recorder fined her five
dollars for being disorderly. "Little
Annie Rooney" had been with Minnie
a short time previous to her arrest and
was suspected of having provided her
the means of becoming intoxicated.
Little A nnie was also arrested Sunday
evening and placed in the county Jail
for the night. The following day she
was liberated, the evidence against her
not appearing to be sufficient to war
rant further detention. She, however
gave information which may lead to
other arrests.

A VISIT FROM A. D. BARNARD.

The old settlers of Corvallis were
gratifed this week to meet Mr.. and
Mrs. A. D. Barnard, who were promi-
nent i'll this city and county in the
early days. Mr.. Barnard came to
! Corvallis in 1852, and was for some
time employed in the store of J. C.
Avery, then the leading merchandise
establishment of the upper valley
Mr. Barnard afterward went into busi-
ness on his own account and built the
first brick building in this city, the enc
formerly occupied by jacobs Neu
gass and now owned by Jake Blum
Der. He owned a number of good
farms in this county at one time,
among them the one upon which the
Agricultural College is located. About
twenty-three years ago Mr.. Barnard
took up his residence in Ventura,
Southern California, where he en-
gagged in -fru;t-raising and has since
resided. On his farm he has 125
acres in orchard containing 25 kinds
of fruit and many varieties of each.
He left at this office package of
fruit grown in his orchard in which
were many of the ordinary California
varieties, soft-shell walnuts, and two
clusters of the Japan fruit, a very
hne-favored fruit somewhat resembling
a crabapple. The. softshell walnut is
especially adapted to the use of con-
fectioners and is much more valuable
than others on account of the ease
with which the shell is removed. Mr..
Barnard is confident that Walnuts
could be grown successfully in this
state, judging from what he learned of
trees planted here for ornamental pur-
poses. The trees, he thinks, require
only cultivation to insure heavy
yield. "There is a fortune in the
fruit for the young man and fortune
in the wood for the old man," says Mr..
Barnard.
Mr.. Barnard entertains no fear that
the fruit market will become over
stocked, and would urge the farmers
to turn their wheat fields into orchards
as SO on as possible. He is enthusi-
astic upon the subject of fruit-raising
and does not allow the fruit pests to
discourage him in the least "Preper
care Of the orchard will" he Says,
'overcome them"
Mr.. Barnard is certainly good Or
chardist. His qualifications combine
intelligence and energy. He has
made a great financial success of fruit
raising and his bearing is that Of IL
prosperous business man of the city
rather than a tiller of the soil. 1t is
TO be hoped that the time is not far
distant when the farmers of this state
will become as prosperous and con-
tented as Mr.. Barnard through the
same agency.

Several little incidents transpired to
mar the pleasure of the presidential
party in Oregon, but those rude por-
trait sketches of its members which ap-
peared in a number of the papers after
their departure, were the most unkind-
est cuts of all. The ladies of the party
will never forgive US for those.
Born, on May 5, 1891, at Baker
City, to the wife of Herbert Kittrilge,
IA son. Mr.. and Mrs Kittridge were
former residents of this city. The
former IS now principal of the Baker
City public school, and their friends
will be pleased to learn of the prosper
ity of the family in their new home.
w. H. Barbour, a Lebanon mer-
chant went to Portland a short time
ago to purchase stock of goods and
remained away from home until his
friends became alarmed in regard to
his whereabouts. Last Sunday his
body was found in the river, lis head
having been pierced by a bullet.
There seems to be no doubt that he
was murdered and robbed.

completed fine four-story hotel at

Matt Wilkins, has rented the house

went TO Portland the first of the week
to purchase the furniture for the
building, and expects to be ready for
business about the first of next month.
Matt has had much experience in the
hotel business and there is reason to
believe that he will prosper in his
latest venture.
