OIL IN THE INDIAN TERRITORY.

VINIrA, ]. T., March 2l.-It is re-
earded as fact by those who have
investigated that the Cherokee nation
has, in addition to coal, lead, zinc
and copper, rich deposits of mineral
oil, both lubricating and illuminating.
The Cherokee Oil Mining and Mill
ing Company, composed of j. M.
Piper, Kossuth Morgner and other
st. Louis parties, as well as some
from this country, has embarked in
the work of development. and sever
al holes are to be sunk, both in the
vicinity of this city and at Chelsea,
twenty miles west AT the latter
place there have been flowing wells
of lubricating oil operated for some
years. At ViDita it is expected that
a heavy vein of valuable coal will be
struck at a depth of about $50 feet.

HELENA, Ark, March 2l.-The
removal of negroes to Oklahoma
from this state still continues, and
great hardships are being encountered
on account of the severity of the
weather. In and around Wynne, on
the Iron Mountain railroad, are 100
negro families from Mississippi coun-
ty, Ark, who are on their way to
Oklahoma. They will remain until
the bad weather breaks, and until
they are able to collect funds enough
to continue their journey.

The Santa he Sun gives four coll
umns to the prospectus of the Santa
Fe Climatic Cure association, which
intends to make trip tours through
the mountains, commencing about
May l. This is certainly one of the
best ways in the world to benefit in
valids. In the early days, before the
railroad crossed the plains, every one
who started out too weak to walk
was a well and hearty person before
the mountains were reached, and
could dispose of his full rations of
bacon and corn bread. The Santa
Fe association will do more for the
cure of consumptives than any sani'
tarium.

WHAT IRRIGATION DOES.

The following account is given OF
a farm of 480 acres in the San Louis
valley, Colorado: 900 acres seeded
to wheat, $50 acres to oats, fifteen
acres to barley and six acres to pota-
toes. The oats yielded l0l bushels
per acre, weighing forty-four pounds
to the bushel; wheat fifty bushels
per acre, and barley seventy-hve
bushels. Their crop amounted to
lO,4OO bushels of wheat, $4,000 BUSH
els of oats, machine measure, $4,000
bushels by weight; 800 bushels OF
barley, and 1920 bushels of pota-
toes" San Miguel county can du-
plicate these figures wherever irriga-
ton can be had. The lands under
the bitches already established have
done as well and our lands are much
cheaper and in every other way as
desirable as any land under the sun.
Kind words from the Santa Fe Sun;
"Tne address of Gov. Prince, IN
calling the irrigation convention to
order, was one of the happiest EFF
forts of his life"
"The irrigation convention at Las
Vegas was a glittering success"
"The hospitabie and enterprlsing
people Of the Meadows City have
reason to be proud Of the manner in
which they welcomed and enter
tanned the multitude in attendance
upon the irrigation convention, the
Press association gathering and the
meeting OF the Democratic terrific
rial central committee this week"
Ex-Speaker Reed wrote as follows
to a man who had bet that the present
house of representatives had adopted
his rules of the last session.:
Dear Sir: The Democratic house
has not adopted my rulings, but the
supreme court has. Whoever bets
that the Democracy have at any
time acted with sense should have
long odds. Very truly,

TARIFF PICTURES.

Since the Mckinley tariff law went
into effect there have been notable
redeetions in the price of staple jokes
of general consumption. Where the
wltticism about the slow messenger
boy formerly brought twenty-five
cents it can now be obtained for fif-
teen cents.
The goat AND the circus poster jest
once brought fifty cents per jestlet.
Now it goes begging at fifty cents
per dozen. o.,
Witticisms about the expansive.
ness of the Chicago gitl's fsat once
fetched as high as sevehty-ive cents
in the joke market.
Now no publisher will pay more
than thirteen cents.
Mother-in-law jokes, once in great
demand at 81, are now practically
unstable. We quote three cents per
dozen as the price.
The merry piece of wit about the
paterfamilias who sets the dog on his
daughters young man occasionally
brought as high as $3.50. Now the
joke constructor is lucky if he gets
twenty-five cents for it.
Plumber jokes and those about the
ice man once commanded a brisk sale
at fifty cents each.
Now twenty-five cents is the maxi
mum price.-Brooklyn Life.
