Chicago. Dec. Z7.-The possibility o.

EXPLANATION OF FIGURES
South MeAIester Accounts for Its
small Population.

Guthrie, 0. T., Dec. 27.-Indian terri
tory towns grumble about the census
figures like anybody else. The South
N1cAlester Capital is good humored about
it, but claims to be really the metropolis
Of Indian territory if all suburbs were
counted. It says:
THE official returns are in and It is
now known what our population really
is with all the friIls knocked off. This
is the way the score in the three towns
mentioned stands: South NIcAlester,
300; Muskogee. 1920; Ardmore. 5000. This
was rather less than was thought the
count would show for US, and yet the
full vote cast last spring at the munci-
pal election proved that this is about
what the returns would be. AIuskogee
has about 1000 less than she claimed and
the Ardmore estimate is cut one-half
These figures Of course do not account
for the populous suburban towns around
South McAlester, which. If counted in,
would send the population far above Ard
more's 5000. A Greater South McAIester.

Guthrie, o. T., Dec 27.-Bfore prehis-
toric ivory has been dug up In Oklahoma
The Weatherford Chronicle says: While
Bill Daily was digging out a crossing
through a draw last week, two miles
northeast of town, he unearthed several
molar teeth, that weighed fourteen pound
each. Bill didn't pay much attention to
them at the time, supposing that some
old fellow had lived years ago and had
dropped his false teeth there in splitting
out a che wof tobacco. But on further
digging he uncovered an immense horn or
tusk, eleven feet in length and three feet
in circumference. The tip OF it is well
preserved and has the appearance of a
horny substance. It will take some 20
ongical sharp to find out what it is.

Guthrie O. r., Dec. 27.-Judge Buford

Interview published in the Ardmoreite he
said that # will take time to accomplish
the needed reforms and he doesn't expect
any legislation along the lines laid down
by the convention before the next session
Of congress He says that the convention
was entirely harmonious and that the
work was done without friction or delay.
The three propositions submitted to con-
gress by the convention We're single state
hood single territorial organization and
territorial supreme court. On these prop
osftions Judge Bradford stated that in
his opinion congress would request ter
ritorial organization In the Indian Ter
ritory before admitting it to statehood
and for this reason the convention urged
single territorial organization as an al
tentative in order that the two territories
might be made one state and enter upon
their era of state government on an
equal footing. In regard to the supreme
court proposition he stated that this IS
urged in order to secure an INDEPENDENT
appellate tribunal as distinguished from
the present system in both territories.

appellate court This system is obnoxious
