VALUE To OKLAHOMA
What the Trans-MiSSiSSippi
Congress Means
TO THE NEW TERRITORY
As an Advertisement of Its
Resources.

It seldom happens that so broad an op-
portunity is given to a new territory as
that which is op I'd up for the territory
of Oklahoma the converting of the
TransmississiI ) commercial congress at
Wichita. Kansas. on the very borders OF
this splendid young territory. which will
celebrate its tenth anniversary this year
with the tenth session OF this congress.
This event should by all means be taken
advantage Of by every county and COM
mercial organization, as well as every city
in the territory.
The governor AMI all the public men OF
the territory should realize the vast i'm
porJance of this body of public spirited
men from all over the west and let no
opportunity escape to thoroughly advertise
the splendid resources OF this productive
country and energetic people.
The press all over the territory should
at once take hold of this matter and urge
the appointment OF dlegates by every Off
Ger to whom these appointments are as
signed. There never has been an oppor-
tunity for Oklahoma 10 make her resour-
ces felt and understood throughout the
Transmississippi country with wrich she
is so closely identified. like the meeting
of this congress; the matters in which she
is so profoundly interested. Equitable
Rates 10 Tidewster." Gulf Outlet" THE
Statehood of the Territory" and many
other matters in which Oklahoma has a
special interest will be discussed al this
nd ha If no
tory, together with the commercial bodies
should see that Oklahoma is well repre-
sented by delegates who will be able TO lay
these matters before the congress, COM
mand the attention OF the delegates from
other sections and obtain action which will
be of advantage to the rapidly growing in
dustries of Oklahoma
If the press of Oklahoma will tai this
matter up at Sonce and insist that these
delegates should be appointed there is no
question but what the territory woull be
well represented. The governor of the
territory has a right, under the official
call of the congress, to appoint ten dele
gates, the mayor of each city may ap-
point one delegate and one additional dele
gate for each 5000 inhabitants, the execu-
tive officer of each county may appoint
one delegate and each business organiza-
ton may appoint one delegate for each
fifty members. There are al large number
OF pubic spirited men in the territory
who Will gladly attend this congress of
properly appointed. Let the Oklahoma
papers go into this matter in earnest and
celebrate their tenth anniversary by an
advertisement Of thir territory which VIII
extend TO every portion of the country
west Of the Mississl ppi river.

Kinney put the injured man on the bed.
She said she did not call a doctor, be-
cause one couldn't get a doctor at that

to about the same things that his mother
had, but did not corroborate her testimony
in every particular. He said he took the
bed Stat away from Nina. and Mrs. Rob
erts said she did, but they finally got TO-
gether on this point by saying that he
took 1t away the first time while his moher
took II away from Nina a second time.
He said ne saw Nina hit Jones while Jones
was on the floor and he grabbed the sat
as she raised II to hit him the fourth
time. Nina said, Let me alone, Ally, I'll
kill him IL he don't get back in the bed.
He said the "old LADY, told him not TO
get a policeman. He said a man by the
name of Kinney helped him put Jones
back in the bed. Nina went back TO the
house next morning. His brother Johnnie

about one and one-half or two weeks after
the trouble and IS now down in the terri
