ful building Of the Alva Normal school,
was in Guthrie today on private business.
Speaking OF his pet project, the Normal
school, Captain Stem remarked his graft
fication that the virulent opposition that
marked the inception of the building had
practically died out, OF which opposition
only lingering traces remained in one or
two counties in the territory where the
sentiment was kept alive more through q
feeling that Governor Barnes would be
injured thereby. with these exceptions,
he said. there Is growing friendly feel
ing toward the school and the Strip coun-
ties are especially proud of the magnifi-
cent building which has been erected as
a monument to the progress and culture
OF the territory. The Normal school Will
probably be opened to the reception of
pupils about the 18th of the present
month. he said. and so heavy is the prom
ised attendance that the citizens of Alva
are already at their wits end to provide
accommodations for the pupils. To par
TALLY relieve the pressure a private COM
pany, of which Captain Stem is at the
head, has undertaken the erection Of
dor1nitory building, 80 by 100 feet in d.
mensions- In the basement will be To-
Gated a kitchen and dining room and two
upper stories will be utilized for rooms.
Progress on the building is delayed, how
ever. on account Of the lack of labor,

every community In Oklahoma

SENATOR CARTER THINKS

Washington Sept L-Senator Carter Of
Montana. in an interview with Post re-
porter today. said that In his opinion the
war In the Philippines would be ended by
january /. Then. he said. would come the
question Of the future disposition Of the
tslauds The Republican party. he be-
lieved, would settle this Question by in
etsting upon the retention OF the Phillip
pines as a matter OF business profit.
This" added the senator, ''is a prac-
teal age. We are going to deal with this
question on the basis 6f dollars and cents.
II the American people believe that the
Philippines are going TO help US they will
never let the Islands go. II, on the other
hand, they ind that the Philippines mean
a constant drain and small returns, you
will find the verdict OF the people TO be
against permanent retention. Neither re-
ueion nor sentiment will have much in
fiuence in determining 1he verdict. The
great question would be. will II pay. II
we can show the country that II will, az
I think we can, the American flag will
never come down from the Philippines"
what sort Of government should be de-
v1sed?'
T''T7hree suggestions Will undoubtedly be
made. The first will be 10 abandon che
Islands entirely to the natives. ] DO not
believe this will meet the approval % ihe
American people. The seconI will he 90

the people that we mean 90 give them n

ton will re 20 throw a loose strirg around
the people. holding their <eaports and Gus

would soon become anarchy. and We
would have 70 rule anyway. 50 I should
say that the second propoeition Is The one
that OsIgfr; TO be adopted. THE hrmer We
are In our administration. the more re-
spect will those people have for Us.
"As 10 the form Of government" con-

There Is nothing else to do. He further
Bays that this is the predomInating seuti-

This Information coming from one of the
boys who has been on the firing line

most refreshing. 1t is an expression of

HOLDING UP A SHERIFF.
Joe and John stiles Give Lots of
Trouble Before Caught

Guthrie, o. r, Sept. Am instance OF
a tough holding up sheriff is given In
the Watonga Republican, which says: On
Tuesday OF last week Joe and John Stiles
came over to Watonga from Omega. In
the evening some Of the citizens suggest
ed that they be watched as they had been
suspected of taking things" before when
they came here. Jim Baker was detailed
TO watch them. When they started home
at night, Jim went to Sheriff Phillips and
told him that the Stiles boys were leaving
town and had gone down to the old cotton
gin. The sheriff and Jim FASTENED to the
gin building which is now occupied as
a stable, and say that they arrived just
in time to see the Stiles fellows load some
harness into their spring wagon. Phil
lips told them that they were under ar
rest and to turn their team around and
go back up town. After some parleying
one of them jumped out of the spring
wagon. seized an old gun and started for
Jim Baker. Jim covered him with his
revolver and told him he would kill him II
he came another STEP Stiles put the gun
back into the wagon, but they refused to
come back to town. Jim Baker came
back to get help and Phillips remained
with the prisoners. After Jim left Stiles
again seized the gun. threw down on Phil
lips and told him he was a dead man IL
ne moved. Phillips says the other tSiles
told the one with the gun to shoot IL the
sheriff moved. Under cover OF the gun
Phillips stood still. Stiles backed off from
him, sprang into the wagon and they
drove or. BY this time quite a crowd
had collected and started in pursuit, Jim
Baker having given the alarm up town.
Phillips and Jim rode fastr than the bal
ance Of the crowd and overlook the fugi-
tives about two miles east OF town They
threw down on them and they surren-
dered. During the chase Baker had
emptied his Winchester and revolver at
them.
The next day search warrants were IS
sued and the premises Of young Stiles
were searched.
They are being held on a charge of
resisting an officer. on a charge of steal
ing set OF harness from one Of the Ra-
ker boys at the cotton gin. on a COM
plant made by Seth barrow. charging
them with stealing set of harness from
him, and on a complaint by Eli Jones.
charging them with stealing a spade.
Mr.. Darrow claims that he found a
portion OF his harness in the possession
of the stiles boys when he went 70 their
place with a search warrant and Ell
Jones claims he found his missing spade
al their place.
They have been held in jail this week
for preliminary hearings which have been
in progress.

SCHOOL LAND MONEY
10 be Had for the Collecting,
in Beaver County,
SPECIAL AGENT CROKER
ReapS an Elegant Harvest
Among the Cattlemen.

Guthrie, o. T, Sept. 4-Charles NJ
Croker, special agent for the school
land department is just returned from
an extensive tour Of Beaver county In
the interest of the department This ex-
tensive county, strange TO say, Is entirely
devoid Of railroads, and the special
agents journey was made entirely by
blackboard and occupied duration OF two
and a half months. From a financial
standpoint the Importance Of his inspec-
ton may be judged from the fact that
when the present administration assumed
control of affairs only fifteen out of the
400 sections of school land embraced
within Beaver county were paying rents
into the schools. Nevertheless Special
Agent Croker found that practically all
Df the remaining sections were fenced of
into extensive pastures, the benefit OF
which the cattlemen were receiving with
out one cent Of income to the school land
fund. This condition of affairs was not
due to any desire on the part of the cat
. flemen to avoid contributing TO the edu-
tiOnal fund Of the territory; they simply
didn't know anything about the school
land lease regulations, and seeing the
. lands lying vacant and beneitung no
Une, the cattlemen accordingly utilized
Them for grazing purposes. The purpose
Of the special agents visit was 10 tn
1erview the cattlemen and secure their
signatures to leases for the land occu-
pied, and the success Of his efforts may
he judged from the fact that about 5000
ia year will be added to the school land
fund. The special agent is enthusiastic
sn his descriptions of the wonderful rich
ness OF Beaver county as a grazing coun-
TRY and the remarkable prosperity OF its
