The establishment of three expert.
mental farms and breeding stations by
the United States government has been
determined on in Alaska. These will
be at Sitka. Kadiak and Kenai, the lat.
ter i'll the wonderful Cook inlet coun.
try, which is a kind of subarctic par
adise full Of wonderful possibilities.
All those sections of Alaska immediate.
ly adjoining the coast have resources OF
agriculture and grazing, as we'll as OF
fisheries and minirg, which make them
eminently worth while stimulating.
The people Of the United States are lust
beginning to have their eyes opened tc
the fact that Alaska in spite of its faI
northing is country full of invitation
not merely to the reckless adventurel
hunting for geld. but to the permanent
investor who would take up his resi-
dence there. Though SO close to the arc
tic circle, Alaska yields nearly all the
necessities and comforts of lifo in rea-
sonable degree.

THE Washington correspondent
of the South McAlestsr Capital
says: An effort will be made at
the coming session of Congress to
secure the passage of a bill per-
mitting the sale Of beer on Indian
reservations in Oklahoma and In
dian Territories. 1t is claimed
that the sale of beer alone will not
be injurious to the Indians, and
that the white people on these res
ervations are entitled to bever-
age. The use of this drink among
the American people has become so
common, and its effects where it is
taken in moderation, are so whole
some that it is believed Congress
will, if an effort is made, enact
legislation which will permit the
sale of beer in the Indian Terrific
~. Many people believe that if
beer is sold to the people of the
Territory under the sanction of the
law it will reduce the illegal SNUG
Cling of whisky in the Territory to
a minimum.
Whenever the sale of beer is
permitted the sale of all other
whiskies should be permitted, for
the law will be violated then with
impunity under the beer license.
If they will violate the law now
when the penalty is so severe and
apprehension, is almost certain, it
is evident the law will be violated
if beer licenses are issued. The
government should never allow anv
sort of whisky to be sold in the
Territories. Whenever it is done
the people of the Territory will re-
gret it and our worse troubles will
begin. Our peace will be gone
and ten times more killing will oe-
cur.

The title Of electrical wizard, long
since given to Edison, 10 shared by Mic
ola Tesla. and il the latest discovery Of
the younger inventor fulfills his expecta-
tions it will revolutionizo modern sci
ence and industry. The marvel alluded
to is the transmission of energy through
great distances, as far as you please in
brief, without any conductor except
that of rarefied air. This can only bs
compared to the launching of thunder
bolts, not for the destruction but for
the infinite benefit Of mankind. 1t opens
unlimited sources of power practically
without cost, for the dynamic power of
water would be transmitted any dis
tance.
Once having established the fact that
electricity in the sufficiently rarefied
strata of the upper air needs no con-
ductor of metal, tho rest is conpara-
lively easy to conceive. All that il
needed is the storage Of the power de.
rived from waterfalls at high pressure
and sending it to the upper air through
the agency of balloons properly anchor
ed, or from the tops of mountains.
With sufficiently high terminals thus
established, it is claimed that any
amount Of power can be transmitted
for thousands of miles without loss of
volume by that earth induction which
cripples ordinary effort in this direc-
tion.
Once nado commercially practical
and Mr.. Tesla claims that this point
has been practically reached-such q
method of producing and transmitting
power will effect greater change in
the world Of industry than did the COM
pound stationary engine discovered by
the immortal Watt Not only the pow
er problem indeed, but the production
Of cheap light and heat will have been
solved, and mankind will cease tc
worry over the question Of the worlds
future coal supply 1t is not probable
that Mr.. Tesla i'll perfecting his appa-
ratus for making his discovery finally
useful will fail 90 find the same diff
culties which have always embarrassed
putting theory into practice. The great.
est obstacles are experienced by the in.
ventor just before he finally "gets
there. But if his theory is clearly
demonstrable. there ought not to be
anything unconquerable. even though
intractable, in the conditions Of putting
it into commercial use. This accom-.
plished will make all the previous ad.
vances Of electrical science puny and
feeble in comparison.

The following is the language of
Chairman Tams Bixby of the
Dawes commission in rendering
judgment in the Alex Rennie citi-
: zenship case: In the Alexander
Rennie case and the collateral
cases hinging upon the question of
the blood Of John McLish, the
commission has determined to en-
roll these claimants.
The commission is not entirely
satisfied with the prosecution of
this case on the part OF the Ma
ton. We feel that a great deal of
trouble and expense has been oc-
casioned these people, which. I'M
less the Nation had a better case
than presented, was entirely unnec-
essary We can not understand
why charges of this kind should be
made against citizens of the Ma
ton and no better attempt made
to substantiate them.
OF course it is our purpose to
decide these questions fairly and
justly. We are endeavoring to
make a roll of the citizens of the
ChickaSaW Nation to the best of
our ability, without fear or favor.
We feel that it is due this com
mission that in all cases where the
Nation or the representatives of
the Nation allege that people who
are on the roll are not entitled to
enrolment that they should make
bona fide effort to substantiate
the claim.o

THE Washingtsa correspondent!
of the South McAlester Capital
says: The cotton planters of the
Indian Territory produce more
pounds of cotton per acre than the
cotton planters of any state or ter
ritOry in the Union, so declares
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson in
report just issued showing the
amount of cotton produced per
acre in each state and territory.
This year the cotton raisers of the
Territory raised 325 pounds of cot
ton per acre, 35 pounds per acre
more than was raised in Arkansas,
which ranks next to the Indian
Territory as the most fertile cotton
field in America. Over Oklahoma
territory the planters produced on
an average 249 pounds per acre,
or rs pounds per acre less than
the Indian Territory. The publi-
cation of this statement has attract
ed the attention of Southern plant
ers who have been in Washington,
and have been informed by them
that the planters of Mississippi,
Alabama and other great cotton
producing states are now seriously
considering the question of pur-
chasing large tracts of land in the
Territory when the allotments are
completed under the tribal agree
ments and the residue of the land
held by the nations is sold. The
cotton crop in the Territory during
the last three years has been little
less than wonderful. The cotton
planters of the South consider 200
pounds per acre fair yield, and
when cotton is selling at anything
like a reasonable figure, the cash
returns are always satisfactory.
But when you come to add to this
an increase of 125 pounds per acre,
which has been the average pro-
duction in tho Territory in the last
three years. bringing the total out
put up to 325 pounds per acre, the
advantages the Indian Territory
offers to the cotton planter are at
once apparent. 1t may be inter
esting to the cotton producers of
the Territory to know the aver
age export price OF cotton during
last month was 5. l cents per pound,
the lowest price paid in recent
years.

CONGRESSMAN MCMILLAN

CONGRESSMAN MCMILLAN of
Tennessee is making a hot fight
against the re-selection of Con-
gresham Bailey as the leader of
the Democrats in the next House
of Congress. 1t is very probable
that the Honorable Mcmillan is
sore because he was not selected
by the Democrats of the last Con-
gress as their leader. He is an
older man and has been in Con-
gress longer than Bailey, and the
elevation of the brilliant Texan
over him hurt his pride.

close of every month the roster is taken

the check indicates thai something, how
