ExTRAsE SESSIONS,

Speaking of extra session of Con-
gress the Nashville Banner says;
The Congress Of the United States
has been convinced in extra session
but twelve times since the foundation
of the Government. The first extra
session was called by President John
Adams, in 1897, to consider the rela-
tons of this country with France. The
plan proposed by the President Of send
ing commissioners to France wat
adopted by Congress. The next extra
session wac called by President Jeffer-
son, in 1908, to consider the proposed
purchase of Louisiana. jefferson g
recommendations were adopted with
great advantage to the Nation. Jeffer.
son called another extra session in 1907,
to consider his embargo measures
against Great Britain, and he was
again supported by Congress. The
next special session Of Congress was
necessitated by English depredations
upon American merchantmen. 1t was
called by President Madison, in 1911,
and its action was the f%orerunner of
the war of 1912. Questions growing
out Of hat war made another extra
session necessary in 1914. There was a
long lapse of time before another extra
session was called. In 1887 President
Van Buren, convened a special session
to consider the condition of the finan-
ces, and in 1841 President Harrison
called another extra session for the
same purpose, and died shortly after
Congress met. 1t was not until 1855
that Congress was again convened in
extra session. At that time it was
called by President Pierce to make
appropriations for the army. Congress
was next convened in special session
by President Lincoln to consider ways
and means Of prosecuting the civil
war and there was no other extra
session until 1877 when President
Hayes made a call in order to secure
an army appropriation, and for the
same purpose he made another coll in
1875. Since that time Congress has
held regular sessions only.

LETTER r 0 OKLAHOMA.

OKLAHOMA CITY, July 90, 1903.
Perhaps a few lines from this part of
the country may be of interest 10 the
readers of the Herald and Tribune. /
have made a trip through this territory
in the last few weeks and find much life
and activity among the people. AL
though this city is only about four
years old it has a population of near
10000. 1t contains some nice business
houses and q great deal of business is
done here. Among the citizens can be
found representatives from oil parts of
of the world, and while most all are
Kansans n can find a few from East
Tennessee.
Crops are good in this country; wheat
will make an average of thirty bushels
and is selling at forty five cents, oats
twenty. The prospect for porn Is fine.
The county Is we'll settled, and land
claims sell pretty high. Much anxiety
is felt by some of the claim holders
lest they be compelled to give up their
claims because of lack Of means 10
hold and defend them. This Is q hard
country for u person. without money to
get a start In; improvements are ex-
pensive and markets distant. There is
but little timber here and 1t is of q
poor quality. This is q good country
for fruit, and particularly peaches and
grapes.
l will make a trip through the Chero-
kee strip shortly and may send you my
opinion OF that country in a future let
ter. am always glad to find letters
from different parts of old Washing
ton County in the Herald and Tribune,
and assure the correspondents that
their letters are all read by ex-East
Tennesseeans wherever the paper goes.
