"At the present time the Central Pa
cihc takes most Of the Union Pacific
business for the Pacific and close

The Illinois Central also runs from New

MIR. Hartman gets the Port Arthur
route this will give another Gulf line
reaching into Kansas City.
Thus. you see, the Northern Pacific
will be fed nom all points south and
east, Chicago and Lake points. All the
large cities at the four points OF the

will see an agreement between the

market centers doing business with the
far east and will practically be in con-

business now being held by San Fran

mental traffic arrangement will be
to Seattle and made part
Of the volume OF business to be trans

1t win also mean a lower freight
rate TO the Orient This l will explain

CHEF T. NJ. BURLINGTON.
A Sketch of the New Cher
okee Executive.

Thos. M. Burlington, principal
chief elect of the Cherokee nation,
is A years old, and was born at
the old Burlington homestead
about a mile from the present
town of Westville, on the Pitts
burg & Gulf road in Goingsnake
district. His father was Ezekiel
Burlington, OF one of the Oldest
Cherokee families in the nation.
and his mother was a white
woman, daughter of Judge New
man, of " ashington county, Ark
ansas. The judge spent his boy
hood on the farm near the old
Baptist mission where he attended
the national schools, one of his
teachers being Miss Carrie Bushy-
head, now Mrs. VIM. Quarles.
Some twenty years ago be set
tied in Delaware district on the
farm he now owns, about 10 miles
southeast of this city. In 1889 he
was elected judge of Delaware dis.
trict and served two years. and it
IS said no more impartial Judge
ever sat upon the bench of the
district. Two years later he was
elected to represent the district in
the Cherokee senate, and was
elected president OF that body
upon its organization. Soon after
ward Chief Joel Mayes died, and
also Assistant Chief Henry Cham.
bers, and Judge Burlington, by
virtue OF his Office as president of
the senate, succeeded to the office
of principal chief, and held the
place eleven days, until the ma.
tional council then in session cleo
ted Z. j.. Harris chief. Judge
b utfington was elected delegate
to Washington City by the coun-
Gil in 1892. In 1895 be was elected
circuit judge of he northern dis
trict by the largest majority ever
given in the Cherokee nation TO
candi date for similar office.
Judge Burlington has served two
terms as mayor of Ninita, being
elected by large majosities each
time, and was never beaten in his
life for any office for which he ran.
For good many years he has re-
sided in Vinita, and will, it is said. |
continue to reside here, as the |
office to which he has just been
elected will not require his remov-
al to Tahlequah.

Judge Thomas has granted the
Muskogee Telephone Co IS appli-
cation for an injunction against
the Tulsa Telephone Co., allowing
the latter thirty days in which to
file an answer. The Tulsa COM
pany, it is alleged, is infringing on
the rights and privileges of the
local company, which is duly char
tered and has an exclusive fran
chise covering the Creek nation.
The granting of temporary in
junction was the outcome of several
legal tilts, and as matters now
stand Muskogee company's rights
are recognized -Muskogee Times.

The Lost GalIeons of yigo.

Two Frenchmen-Count de
Pradere and Albert Andrieux-
have just addressed a petition to
the Spanish government for au-
thority to explore the Bay of st.
Simon, in the River Vigo, for the
purpose of searching for the gal
Icons loaded with gold and silver
which were sunk there on their
return from Mexico in 1902. They
based their request on the fact
that they invented apparatus for
submarine exploration. Their
petition is said to have been fa-
vorably received by the commits
sion charged to inquire into the
matter, and work will undoubted-
ly be begun in a few weeks, as
the Frenchmen have everything
prepared for the enterprise. 1t
may be recalled that the late NJ.
Duclere, who was president of
the council of ministers under
the presidency of Grevy, once or
ganized a company to search for
the galleons of Vigo, but, al
though he employed diving bells,
after spending several months
in exploring the bottom of the
Bay of st. Simon. not even the
sign of a wreck was discovered.
In 1912 a Russian farmer nam.
ed Bokareff conceived the idea OF
extracting oil from the seed of
the sunfiower. His neighbor told
him it was a visionary idea and
that he would have his labor for
his pains. He persevered, how
ever, and from that humble be-
ginning the industry has expand
ed to enormous proportions. To
day more than 100000 acres of
land in Russia are devoted to the
of the sunfiower. Two
kinds are grown, one with small
seed which are crushed for oil,
aud the other with large seeds,
that are consumed BY the poorer |
people in enormous quantities.

Unexpectcd Visitors.

Judge Johnson, Marshal ShCup and Clerk Elliott arrived in Juneau last Thursday. A session of the court will be held until the Cottage City arrives from the south. Judge Johnson looks hale and hearty and not at all sleepy, even if he does hail from town that is so dead that it smells bad. Marshal Shoup looks about the same and if there is any change he appears a trife brighter, which must be attributed to his reading the News. Clerk Elliott was calm and composed when the News man saw him. He is hard worker and a most competent man.
 Under the law as it now is, and as Gov. Brady insists it shall be, these of ficials must reside at Sitka where there is no law business-no, nothing. It is a dirty outrage, but the right will pre- vail in the end.

 The Sheep Creek mines are back from the beach more than mile and their inaccessibility prevents people from visiting them. The plant is good one and is under an excellent management. With Mir. Hammond as superintendent, Warner as foreman, Jehu as assayer and II. B. Ames as accountant, the American Gold Mining company will in the future as in the past be a money maker.
 We must not close this article with cut making mention of Sheep Creek proper. What we say concerning it will probably be taken with some grains of allowance by our many Eastern read CTS. We are not apologizing for lying, but deem it nee e5saIy to apologize for telling the truth. Sheep Creek is a small mountain stream, twenty to thirty feet wide in places and it has furnished water for power the entire winter, and in abundance The weather has not been cold enough to freeze so hard as to stop the water from running.

Beside the Caskct.

The gavel in the hands of the Exalted Ruler gave three taps and the noble Elks were seated. An invitation was extended to the great concourse of peo- pie in the room to pass by the coffin and view the remains of him who was loved in life and deeply mourned in death The people formed into pro- cession and slowly and sadly marched by the coffin and took one last look at the face of that piece of clay that lay silent in death. Among those who joined the procession past the casket was woman attired in black. She stopped for an instant Her eyes were dimmed and with her ungloved right hand she threw a kiss at the face of the dead-one she had known so we'll in life, but whom she should see no more. She passed on to her seat where she shed tears-bitter tears-for departed friend. The agony of David over his son Absalom was not more sincere. Her sorrow-her tears-moistened the eyes of many sturdy men. How sad the last look at those we loved in life-how sorrowful to say goodbye forever
 1t was the Baroness von Tiltse beside the casket of George T..Ulmer.
