! Special Dispatch to the Daily Eagle.
| GUTHRIE, o. T.. March 19-The severe
weather severe for Oklahoma) OF the past
| week has necessitated halt in building
and public improvements. Arbor Day
/ March 16) was not altogether favorable
tor the planting of trees; but it was good
idea to set a day. and as soon as the wealth
er permits thousands of trees will be
planted throughout the territory.
Just at present local politics is engross-
ing the astention of our people, especially
of the towns. In some of the towns it has
been decided to draw the party lines After
considerable discussion and an endless
amount of legal opinion, Oklahoma City
calls an election for city officers. Guthrie
elects ali the city officials with the excep-
| tion OF the president of the board of edu-
cation, who holds over under the law. All
nominations must be in by Tuesday prox.
as under our election law (the Australian
modified) the names of all candidates must
be in fifteen days prior to the election,
which comes of on the first Tuesday in
April.
Governor Seay is generalissimo of the
| Repu blican party of Oklahoma. That he
| Is competent for the position no one
doubts. His motto is, First, justice; sec
ond, insure, if possible, the success of tue
! Republican party in Oklahoma. He is
| besieged by scores of hungry officeseekers
for the positions to be filed in the new
counties. A man must bring something
| more than an assured fealty TO the Re
| publican party to be considered. The gov
ernor demands integrity on the part of his
! appointees, and men with unsavory records
will have slim chance for an appoint
| ment.
The territorial treasurer has been noti-
| fed by the treasury department at Wash
ingtou that $4,000 has been sent to him
for the agricultural college.
President X. j. Barker was in the city
yesterday to consult the governor as 10
the best way to secure the land grant OF
30 900 acres for the agricultural college, TO
which that institution is entitled under
the act of 1862, which gives for the agri-
cultural colleges of the different states
and territories grant of 10000 acres for
each representative in congress. This
grant must be secured prior TO the open
ing OF the lands. If the matter is properly
managed Oklahoma will secure this. The
matter is an important one and those
having friends at court" would do well
to address them relative to the matter.
Director Neal is prepared to set out
trees on the experimental farm as soon as
the weather permits. The college has
faculty of four professors follows: j.
G.. Neal. NJ D. director; Alexander II
McGruder, professor of agriculture and
horticulture; Edwin I. Clark, professor
of mathematics and English literature.
and Joseph Hotter, professor of chemis-
try and physics. The buildings now in
process of erection are as follows; Resi-
dence of the director, costing IL 800; resi-
dence OF the superintendent, costing $500,
laboratory, costing $780, and a barn, cost
ing $500.
Deputy Marshal Ransom Payne, who
has just returned from Washington,
where he has been for some time repre-
senting the interests of the deputy mar
shals Of Oklahoma, said In conversation
with the EAGLE man that he found a very
kindly feeling toward Oklahoma, but con-
gress thinks i5 too early to admit OKLA
homa as a state, on account of the small
amount of taxable property. He was IN
trOduced to one of the committees as a
United States deputy marshal III OKLA
homa that had not been killed. That the
deputies will receive compensation for
their services in the early days of Okla
homa there is no doabt. Every member OF
the appropriation committee assured him
of this. 1t is an outrage that these men
have been compelled To wait as long as
they have. No one knows except those
who were ia the country Ia an early day
with what the deputies had TO contend.
The University of Oklahoma has adver-
tised for bids. The money for construct
ing the building is in the hands of the ter
ritorial treasurer
The board OF trade fair at Oklahoma
City will be grand success. The orgauI-
Zation is complete and the names that ap
pear on the committees are sufficient
guarantee.
