OKLAHOMA CHURCHES AND SCHOOLS


The public enterprise of the people of
Oklahoma was never equalled in the
settlement of any territory in the past.
a number of the towns and cities of
this civilization of today would be Il
credit in all that goes TO make up a
municipality, TO any OF the older states.
There has been none of the disposition
TO wait and see what the possibilities
might be, upon the part of the people.
only the activity born of a universal
conviction, upon their part, that Okla
homa was destined for great state
and the sooner her institutions were
built and her resources developed the
more certain would the pioneer come
TO enjoy all that the residents of older
communities boast SO it has been
throughout that wonderful land. first
n claim or lot then a home and then
school houses and churches. Birds
eye view pictures of number of towns
in oklahoma disclose fina streets con-.
pactly built up with imposing business
fronts, beautiful modern homes. To-
sether with the belfry of the school
house and the steeple of the church.
1t all seems like magic.
Last Sunday there was n church
edifice dedicated at FL Reno costing

ANOTHER INDUSTRIOUS FALsEHooD.

] 1t is continuously dinned into the
ears Of the American people, by the
| goldites, that the rehabilitation of sill
yer would redoun, principally, in the
| interest OF mine owners and silver
! holders.
Let Us see about this: The de-
struction of one-half OF the countrys
| redemption coin, by the demonetization
of silver, has caused general depre
citation Of property values of about
one-half. But it didn't stop there.
Every product of the factory and of the
farm suffered a like proportionate de-
probation. Coming to the great
staples tie shrinkage in prices was
even more. The price OF cotton, for
instance, was 16 cents in 1873. Now
it is cents. This is q loss of 10 cents
per pound, or loss on the crop of last
year alone of S310,000,000. For ten
years past the loss has been 60 per
cent per annum. The wheat crop for
a number of years has averaged 500
million bushels. 1t has shrunken in
pAiSt hlOlt llstl Oilc-lidIi VI dDOut ,'0Vp,-
100000 annually. This is but two
crops. Now the production OF silver
is about 100000 ounces. If the re-
monetiZation therefore should rein
state that metal to the old price it
would mean but about 100000
gain, or 10 per cent Of what is lost
annually on the two crops of wheat
and corn.
Altogether it is calculated that if
the annual aggregate or agricultural
products could be sold for the hi
metallic price OF 1873 the gain TO the
farmers of the country would be ST.
500,0O0,000, or sufficient sum to insure
the best Of prices for everything, and
prosperous times for everybody
These simple statements and figures,
collated from the statistics of official
records may seem startling, but no
single standard writer has been able
TO c0nfute them. And the fall OF
prices when measured by money is not
confined TO the products of the soil,
but of every conceivable commodity
and every species of property or value,
gold alone excepted. The eastern or
money monger assertion therefore that |
the silver miners only are interested
in the rehabilitation of silver by free !
is monstrous falsehood.

UNANIMOUSLY VERY TIRED.

The members of the Kansas house of
representatives, having had all day
Sunday III which to reflect over their
short comings and in which to review
how little they had really accomplished,
became unanimously tired on Monday
morning. Like the discouraged horse,
they not only baked, refusing to go
any further. but they proceeded to
balk and kick. Forty-five days had
been consumed at a big expense to the
taxpayer and not pledge made in the
platform had been redeemed, nor q
single recommendation of the COVER
nor needed or carried out So they
wasted the day in sulking and in re-
solving what they would not do. No
doubt a reaction will come, and we
confidently expect that our dispatches
this morning will show unusual actiy-
ity. A legislative body is as capri
cious as q woman. There is nothing
too eXtrayagant to be granted when
the humor is on, nothing, however
meritorious, having any show when
it is in the dumps.

the Washita makes deep sweep to the
south and back again. So. when the
surveyors, according to instructions,
reached the specified limit by way Of
the river bank and turned directly west
the line crossed the Wasfita river first
thing. Continuing westward the line
kept on the north side of the river for
three miles or more and recrossed on
TO the south bank again and there left
the river. as II was expected to have
done from the western limit of the Wich
itas- The Kiowas were not expecting
to claim any OF the territory north OF
the river. until after the survey. and the
Cheyennes have continuously claimed
10 the river as far as the stream was
supposed TO divide them from the Kio-
was. But the treaties were written
out to conform to the survey, and not
to the understood boundaries, and the
survey cuts off strip from the Chey-
enne country three miles long and two
miles deep at its widest part, and gives
tt to the kiowas and Comanches. When
the Cheyenne country was opened to
settlement the proclamation of the pres
ident duly observed the boundaries as
surveyed. leaving this strip OF land
unopened and belonging TO the Kiowa
and Comanche reservation: Now comes
the story. When the Cheyenne coun-
try was thrown open a number of set
tiers went upon this strip, took claims

fences. Being warned OF their tres
pass by neighbors who understood the
conditions. these men contended the
Kiowas and Comanches never oceu-
pied nor used the strip OF land. and
that they held. like the Cheyennes.
that the river was the boundary. BY
such arguments, satisfactory to them
selves. thirteen families established
themselves on this strip OF what they
called neutral land. Not being within
the lawful boundaries OF Washita
county. they could not be taxed, and
Were not amenable to the county author
tiles. They have lived there unmoiest-
dfrom the opening of the country until
now, a law and q people unto them
selves. But now they have received or
derS from the Indian agent at Anadar-
ko to vacate the land OF suffer the pen
atty OF expulsion and confiscation OF
property. This order. coming by su-
thority OF the Washington department
was issued to these thirteen families
on January 20. giving them forty days
in which to get away m compliance
with the order. We learn that some
Of them are preparing TO abandon
their homes. while others will remain
until put out by force, with the threat
of suing the government IL they are
forcibly removed. The locality in ques-
ton Is about thirty miles west of An
adarko, on the north bank OF the Wash
ita river. some twelve miles southeast
of Cloud Chief, ard directly west OF the
western limit OF the Washita reserva-
ton. Coming movements and the re-
suit Of the agents order will be watched
with interest.
