REPORT ON OKLAHOMA.
The Governor Says Agriculture and Com
merceFIOurished in the Territory Last
Year-PleR for Statehood.

Washington, Dec. THE annual
report of the governor of Oklahoma
says that the year has been marked
by general prosperity, agriculture,
grazing, manufacturing and COM
merce fourishing in an unprece-
denied manner. The total assessed
valuation of property this year is
$49, 1856, 661, an increase of $6,3S6,247
over 1899. The report states that in
addition to its excellent public school
system Oklahoma has five higher in
stitutions of learning which are not
excelled by the similar institutions
of any state in the union. There are
still 5,733, 1886 acres of vacant govern
ment land in the territory subject
to homestead entry. While most of
the land is unfit for farming there
are still many sections upon which
the homeseeker from the north or
east can find comfortable home and
attain competence in time.
The report says that the prosper
Gus condition prevailing in Oklahoma,
it's population, area and wealth, when
compared with a like condition pre-
vailing in a large number of states at
the time of their admission into the
union, amply justifes its claim to
statehood.

ARMY BILL PASSED.
Reorganization Measure Rushed Throu@zz
House by Vote Of les to 133-Ansl-
Canteen Amendment Adopted.

Washington, Dec. THE house OF
representatives yesterday, at the end
of long sitting, passed the army
reorganization bill by a vote of 100 to
1913. Three democrats, Messrs. Hail.
of Pennsylvania, and Underhin and
Clayton, of New York, voted with the
republicans for the bill, and Mr.. Nc
Call, republican, of Massachusetts,.
with the democrats against it. Other
wise it was a strict party vote.
The proposition which some of the
democrats attempted to commit their
side to in caucus, an extension of the
present temporary army until July
1, 1908, which was voted upon indi-
rectly on motion to recommit, com
manded the votes OF only about half
the opposition and two republicans.
Mr.. Mccall and Mr.. Mann, of Illinois,
Many of the democrats, however,
voted against the motion because they
were opposed not only to the reor-
ganization bill, but also to continu-
ing the temporary army at its pres
ent strength.
Quite a number of amendments
were placed upon the bill before it
was passed. The liveliest fight was
made upon a substitute offered by
Mr.. Littlefeld, of Maine, for the can
teen section. The substitute abso-
1uteiy prohibited the sale of intOxi-
cants at military posts. Large delega-
lions from the W. c. T. u, which is
in session in this city, watched the
fight from the galleries. When the
vote was taken the prohibiting amend
ment was carried by an oyerwhelm-
ing majority, 159 to 81.
