ence of states to the north and are diver
styling their crops so that they may
have permanent returns Cattle and
horses in pasture alongside nearly every
claim-house show interest in stock-raising
a good sign.
A tremendous what crop is being put
in From the Kansas line down to Indian
Territory lands south of this city the
brown burrows are being turned and har-
rowed and sowed. New soil is being
broken. and with favorable seeding
weather, Oklahoma will have the largest
wheat acreage in its history. The set
tiers are looking back on the marvellous
advancement of the past two years and
hatter themselves that the coming season
will be as encouraging.
In the meanwhile a lively political con-
test is in progress. The national issues
enter into it somewhat, but it centres in
two things: Firstly, honor for Dennis
Flynn, representative in congress, be-
cause Of the passage Of the free homes
bill; and, secondly, statehood. The peo-
pie of Oklahoma believe that they can
not attain their full rights without state
hood. They want the entire Indian Ter
Territory of Oklahoma as a state. They
point to the people who want homes, and
declare that ii is too bad to use land
that might support hundred families 10
pasture a few score of Indian ponies.
They will win their point-not this year
nor next, but the sentiment is becoming
so strong and the issue is receiving so
united a support that it is sure to come.
With a population made up of so intelH-
gent and distinctively American people
as arc the jewellers in Oklahoma, it is
difficult to see why the request should
not be granted, for it is supported by
many good arguments. There are nearly
10000 people, and IS per cent of them are
American born. The bonded debt of Ari-
IONA is ST. per capita; of Oklahoma 70
cents. 1t is surely as we'll fitted as some
of the present commonwealth for state
hood. Seven of the thirteen original
states were smaller than Oklahoma, and
none had so much good soil.
But the farmers of the eastern part of
the territory are too busy to worry much
about politics of any kind They are
threshing grain, ploughing for wheat
narrowing, seeding. building and thriv-
ing. That ought to be enough for the
present
