Auditor Hookins. i 70 bs Fe-y greatly
desired from Al ecopou cal sand

treasury luto the treasury OF The sis te
o, Kansas for the care Of the terrific
Ty's prisoDers. and the advisaoiiity Of
erecting Z penitsntizTy for OK shoHA
before its admission - = state = -
eefring ne consideration Of local
statesmen.
For q few years following the or
gsniZziion Of tie territory prisoners
were scot 10 Jacksonville, H. and
housed in the Peuiteniiary ihe~e, but
ubseq ueBily great saving IN trans
portztion charges was effected by q
contract with the hznsas zu hOrities
the amount paid annually for he care
OF the prisoners has come 70 be quite
formidable item in the list Of terrific
rial expenditures Al the present time
Oklahoma owes the state on the north
the sum Of So. .2o6. 20, for whicn war
rants have been issued bui upon which
actual payments have not vet been
made No DILIGENTLY is anticipated in
dischA<ging this debt, but in the mean
time the till is growing larger. The
number OF territorial prisoners has
kept pace with the increase Of pcpula-
ton. and the amount which must be
paid Kansas for The two years just past
will reach nearly 5000, Auditor
Hopkins believes
Meanwhile Kansas utilIEes the labor
Of OklzhOma's prisoners il the shops
and factories of her big institution, the
proceeds contributing to the support
and maintenance Of the state govern
ment For this Oklahoma receives no
return whatever, and the money thus
accruiug to the benefit Of the state is
not included in the figures showing
Oklahoma's debt TO the state Had the
territory a prison of its own, II is ar
gued, the proceeds Of the labor Of her
eopvicts would remain al home and
benefit Oklahoma
At nearly every session OF the legis-
lature kills for the establishment of a
territorial prison have been intro
dueed and urged for passage, but in
every instance their projectors have
failed Of their purpose. The last leg
islature was no exception. Generally
the bills have beer turned down on
the plea tha. the territory could not
afford the expense of erecting a peni-
tentiary, but with the mum Der Of pris-
oners and the consequent expense for
their care Increasing, Auditor Hopkins
considers this false economy.
TO erect a territorial prison would,
Of course, incur very great expense,
and it would be impossible TO say how
many years it would take the peniten-
tiary to pay for itself before the size
of the Institution is determined" said
Mr.. Hopkins. As d plain lasiness
proposition, however, it is evident that
a penitentiary would prove a paying
venture. The expense of caring for
the eonvicis at the Kansas prison Is
increasing and viii continue TO in
crease as the territory grows in popu-
lstion. We will have to own our peni-
tentiary when Oklahoma becomes a
state, and in my opinion we should not
wait until that time. The erection of
such an institution would Sarely prove
. money saver"

and alive. Among them was = monkey,
which was domlciled IN large breast pocket.
As Buekiand was taking his ticket, Joko
thrust up ms head and attracted the stten-
ton Of the booking clerk, who Immediately

IT. dog, replied the clerk.
lts monkey, retorted Buckland, and
proceeded 70 show the whole animal, but
without convincing the clerk, who insisted
on tiye shlllings for the dog ticket TO London.
Naturally nettled at this, Buckland
plunged his hand into another pocket and
produced tortoise, and, laying it on the
siI Of the ticket window, said: Perhaps
you'll call that a dog, toog'

with it until certain payments had
