The press of the Indian Terri
tory compares creditably with that
of any state in the Union. The
papers are bright and newsy and
geographically clean and neat.
This is more remarkable when 1t
is remembered that this is a new
country in which most of the
towns are small and the people in
the country scattered over much
territory. The hustling newspaper
men OF that country are entitled to
q great deal of credit and liberal
support.-Denison Herald.

Spring Poetry.

Father, dear father come home with
me now, for ma has some carpets to
beat. she's got all the furniture out in
the yard from the front porch clear
down to the street. The stove must
go down and be put in the shed, and
the yard must be cleared OF dead grass.
for it is time to clean house and the
DEVILS to pay, and the front windows
need some new glass. Father dear
father come with me now, and bring
some bologna and cheese, it's most
twelve O'Clock and there's nothing to
eat-I'm so hungry weak in the knees.
All the dinner we'll have to eat will
be old scraps and we'll have to eat
standing up too; for the table and
chairs are all out in the front yard;
Oh, wish that house cleaning was
through. Father, dear father come
home with me now, for ma is mad as
a Turk: she says you're lazy old
thing and she proposes to put you to
work. Theirs painting to do do and
paper to hang, and windows and
castings to scrub, for it's house clean
ing time and you've got to come home
and revel in suds and cold grub.

A letter received by Mrs. NJ

who when writing was at Telegraph
Creek, Alaska, reports the Tower
party well and within l75 miles of
their destination, which is Teslin
Lake. This party consisted of NJ
O'keefe. Thomas Fleetwood and John
Hermann OF Tower and Mr. G. Ray
mond, formerly with French e Bas-
sett Of Duluth. Out of p dogs the
party has Is left. Just previously to
arriving at Telegraph Greek one of a
party of 40 among which the Tower
ties were travelling, murdered two of
his companions and secreied their
bodies in the ice. After the men
were missed suspicion rested on the
partner of the two men WHO finally
confessed. The entire party stepped
and hanging bee was the result.

The value Of advertising has been
clearly shown the past week in the
the shoe sale inaugurated by o. G..
Korb. Mr.. Korb made the statement
that he had sold more shoes during
the past ten days than he has sold be-
| fore in any two weeks since he has
been in business. This he attributes
to the liberal advertising done.

SOME POLITICAL POINTERS

The republican state central committee
refuses to permit Jones and Cushman to
meet James Hamilton Lewis in joint de-
bate.
The supreme court of the United States
has knocked railroad pooling, and as a
result there will be general reduction OF
freight rates through competition.
All the talk about single tax being an
issue in this state is only for the purpose
of divertIng the attention of the voters
away from the real issues.
The tickets that will appear on the Of
fetal ballot are peoples party, republican,
prohibition and social labor. The county
auditor has been officially notified by the
secretary of state that as there are no
democratic nominations, it will not be
necessary for the word democratic to APP
pear on the ballot.
So far as the county candidates are
concerned, the paramount issue is
whether We shall retain an economical
and debt-paying administration or rein
state an extrayagant and debt-increasing
administration. Under the circum-
stances it seems hardly possible that any
unprejudiced taxpayer can halt between
two opinions.
Receiver Cannon OF the local land Of
flee is offering on the stump to bet 500
in gold coin that Auditor Flint's figures
in the comparative statement showing
the immense saving of the fusion office
holders, are false and misleading. He
can get that amount by showing that
they are.
Brooks, the great Klickitat orator, is
running like a deer, and scared one at
that. If there is anything in a mans
personality and oratory, he will be
elected.
Lasswell, running for reelection as as
SCISSOR, is the man who douo led the
Northern Pacific railway assessment and
made the company pay $4,000 per an

of its public lands for grazing purposes
and goes there to nae the land with its
permission and authority, and, therefore
as long as such implied permission and
authority continues, has the same right
to go across plaintiffs land to reach the
government sections as against the plain
tiff as the government itself would have.

full benefit of the above propositions in

many reasons and citing authorities, ETC.,

will be overruleI."

Mr.. Schriner, who is running for county

farmer, we'll and favorably known, he
will lose no votes on account OF his en-
forced absence. Everybody speaks well
OF Schriner, and of course he will not be
forgotten, but remembered on election
day by big Majority.
II. T. Jones, chairman Of the demo-
cratic state central committee, says:
"The fusion campaign committee OF the
state has challenged and will continue to
challenge all republican speakers in the
state either to approve or dsapprove OF
their own administration under Governor
McGraw. The fact is, the republican
state administration was so corrupt that
no self-respecting man can utter word
in its favor, hence this silence"
