ARDMoRE, MONDAY, APR. 20.

A LETTER to the editor of the
ARDMORGITE from Ex Gov. Guy
now in Washington as delegate
from the Chickasaw Nation to
oppose any legislation tending
toward a change of conditions in
this country, says everything is
still in a state of expectancy and
troublesome uncertainty. He
sends a copy of the memorial
adopted by the Mississippi legisla-
ture protesting against any con-
gressiOnal interference with exist
ing conditions in the Indian Terri
tory. This piece of excellent
work was performed by Gov. Guy
and was a clever stroke Of genel =
aIship. He went to Mississippi
and accomplished his purpose in a
highly satisfactory degree and in
speaking of which he says: This
memorial is based on the treaties.
/ am satisfied it will not please a
majority of your readers. | do
not feel that | have done anything
except my duty to my people
struggling for "A government the
United States has granted us per
mission to organize. All we ask
is that no rights of the white man
be curtailed, but that strict OBJ
servance of the treaty stipulatiOnS
from the basis of any legislation
that may be enacted OF course
no one who knows Gov. Guy can
or will attach any blame to him,
on the other hand his action is to
be commended by citizen and non
citizen alike. This memorial seems
to us in very bad taste coming aS
it does from a state from which
these very people for whom they
plead in such eloquent terms were
crowded out bag and baggage to
make room for the white man.
That very fact shO we'd and no
doubt will kill the effect of the
otherwise weighty appeal in be-
half of the Indian tribes.

Black Snow.

An official statement concerning
Chicago's black snow was given by Chief
Moore, of the Weather Bureau Mr..
Moore said
1.-THE black snow that has lately fallen
in Chicago and the Northwest is entirely
similar to the great fall of January, 1895,
the nature of which was thoroughly
investigated by the Weather Bureau at
that time. Notwithstanding the the
oretical suggestion that the black deposit
of last January might have come from
beyond the earth, and might be
meteoric, or cometic or might
even be the volcanic dust from
Alaska or Japan, careful investigation
showed that it was due to none of these
causes, On the contrary, microscopic
examination proved that the black
deposit contained about per cent. Of
the most delicate organic structures
(suoh as diatoms and spores), and about
6 per cent. Of the finest possible inorganic
matter, such as makes up the ordinary
fine silt and clay soils All this fine
material is easily caught up by the dry
winds whenever they exceed twenty
miles per hour, and is carried to great
distances before it has time and OPP
portunity to settle on the ground. 1t is
easily brought down in large quantities
by snow or rain, but ia only perceived by
the ordinary observer when there is

The Coming Hereford Cattle Sale.

At no time since the first authentic i'm
portstion of Hereford cattle into this coun-
try, in 1910, by William H. Sotham, of New
York State, have the "White-faces" been
held in higher esteem or the demand equal
to that of the present time, not only in this
country but in South America and Aus
tralia. The attention of the professional
breeder and those that contemplate an inn
provement of their beef cattle is called to
the closing-out sale announcement found
elsewhere in this issue, of the Rock Greek
herd. By sending for copy Of the free
sale catalogue the reader will find therein
information pertaining to the breeding and
history 'of the herd worthy the attention of
the ambitious breeder the world over.

promised that packers and shippers Of
perishable products will, in future, gel
along without ice.
DIR. A. T. Perkins, now resident Of
Chicago, has patented process Of keep
ing meats, fruits and perishable products
during transportation by the use Of
sterilized air. His patents extend to the
Antipodes.
The contract concluded was be-
tween him and J. M. Smart, Of Melbourne,
manager Of the Australian Meat Trans
portation Company, limited, for the use
of the process in the seven colonies Of
Australia.
A corporation is also about to be
formed, with headquarters in Chicago,
to control the process over the railroad
lines Of this country and the steamship
lines running from the ports Of North
and South America.
DR.. Perkins left Chicago this after
noon for New Orleans, where the sterilized
air process is to be put in operation, it is
stated, on line of fruit steamers plying
from that port. Upon his return he will
sail for Australia.
Mr.. Smart, Of the Australian meat
export company's corporation, is of the
opinion that the new process, which he
says will enable Australia to ship its
meat to Europe instead Of boiling it
down to make tallow, will virtually force
the American producers of dressed
meat out Of the European market. He
adds: Moreover, it will enable us to
ship our sruit, which now rots for want
of market, to England at season
when it will command the highest prices
and annihilate the trade which the
America syndicate has been planning
for. We propose to supply the whole Of
Great Britain with meat and fruit. Six
warehouses are now being built in
London and Manchester, which will
serve as our distributing points. Two
Of them are among the largest receiving
warehouses in the world"
The fruit syndicate Of California is
the interest which Mr.. Smart says has
been most concerned about the matter.

Large portions Of the country from

has been known to carry away six inches
Of the surface soil from a freshly cul-

the fineness of the silt, and not to any

Those who understand the true bust

large number of banks still In opera
ton which are not safe repositories
Robberies occur too frequently to trust
It In the homes. The old custom OF
burylng it is not satisfactory. Indeed
to be absolutely safe seems almost On
impOssibility.
But there Ia still one safe plan left,
That is to 60 to the postofice and buy
money orders payable to yourself.
These orders may be retained for one
year within which time they must be
presented for payment. The largest
order which can be bought at one time
ia 800. 1t costs 45 cents. Only three
such orders payable to the same person
at the same Office may be bought In
one day. If for any reason the order
should not be presented within one
year a duplicate order may, with some
delay, be obtained from the depart
ment. The deposltOr or purchaser of
the order may feel secure, for if the
postoffice 10 not safe and the payment
of money orders sure, then the time
has been reached when there is no safe
way to take care of surplus money. OF
course 1t Is true that no interest is al.
lowed and that the depositor or pur-
chaser loses 45 cents on every 800.
Still, even that, considering the fact
that the money may be drawn any day
by the presentation of the order, will
not prove unsatisfactory.
This plan has been suggested to the
public to a certain extent before, and
is being prscticed quite generally in q
good many localities, Show people,
actors and others on the road have
used 1t for years, investing their sur

their home postoflice, where the money
was safely found and drawn at the end
Of the season.
In one locality, where several banks
have failed, the treasurer of local
farmers organization has been directed
to invest the funds, amounting to sew
eral hundred dollars, in money orders
for safekeeping. The money will be
safely kept, too. If the postmaster
