PENSIONS AND PENSIONERS.

The first annual report of COmmis-
sioner of Pensions II. Clay Evans has
been made public.
1t appears that there were added to
the rolls during the last year OF record
the names of 90, 101 new pensioners, and
3.911 pensioners who had been preyl-
ously dropped were restored, making a
total of 54,012.
During the same period the losses to
the roll were 81 $50 by death, 1,074 by
remarriage of widows and mothers,
1915 by legal limitation (minors), 2,6S3
for failure to claim pension for three
wears. and 1850 for other causes, an ag-
gregate of 41.122.
The whole number of pensioners on
the rolls on June 30, 1897, was 976,014,
entailing an outlay by the government
for the year in pensions of S139, l99,-
o4212. This exceeds the amount dis
bursed during the previous fiscal year
by S1.5S4, ,4S01S. 1t is noted in the re-
port that seven widows of revolutionary
soldiers and nine daughters of revolu-
tionary soldiers are still on the rolls.
Commissioner Evans recommends

the line OF soldiers widows legislation

of these predictions have been more
than justified Oklahoma has had no
serious backset of any kind. Its growth
has been solid and steady. Already the
territory has passed half dozen states
in population and real wealth. Its fu-
ture is assured, and the advantages IN
soil and climate which were noted by
the first explorers of the region are hav-
ing the effect which might have been
expected by any intelligent American.
This fall Oklahoma claims 100000 in

not under 20,000,000 bushels has been
harvested this year. The assessed valu-
alton of property has increased from

is said to be fully S75,OO0,OO0. There are
fifty-fOur banks in the territory, all OF
which are said TO be in good condition.
1t is said that $4,000 bales of cotton
will be marketed this year from Okla

in the territory. These are a few facts
which measure the progress Of Okla
