WONDERFUL SCHOOL FUNDS
Provided For 0kIabOma's Public
School System.
SURPRISING ANY STATE.

Guthrie, Okla, Oct. s.-There are
little over two and half million acres
of land reserved for the public school
fund This land is leased by the quar-
ter section and the income derived
therefrom is devoted to the support OF
the common schools and the higher
institutions of learning, and the income
from section 33 is set aside for what is
called the public building fund. In the
large tract of land known as the Kiowa,
Comanche and Apache country, four
sections in each township, namely,
sections 16, SO. 13 and 33, were reserved
for the public school fund.
The last figures given out by the
territorial auditor said: There are
1916, $50 acres (s,6O3 quarter sections)
yielding an income of about $225, 200
for the common schools" :"
Think of it; a quarter of a million of
dollars for public schools without taxa
ton.
''There are 312, 900 acres q ,956 quar-
ter sections) yielding an income of
SAC, 900 yearly devoted to the colleges.
There are BOG, ,24O acres 1914 quarter
sections) yielding an annual income OF
S35, 900 for what is known as the public
building school fund"
There is now in the treasury over
$50, 900 in the public building fund
and this is being added to now at the
rate of S35, 900 annually. All, or nearly
all, of the expense of building the
several institutions will be saved to
the people of Oklahoma. When the
territory is admitted as a state, sec
tions SO can be sold. There are in
sections 33, 300, ,24O acres, which sold at
$40 per acre would mean over three
| million dollars secured to build the
penal, corrective and charitable insti-
tutions of Oklahoma, without taxing
the people.
This matter of light taxation is
worthy of consideration for the schools
of Oklahoma have no superior.
Take the Territorial Normal school
at Edmond, for instance; everything is
| free. Drawing is free, all the labora-
tory work is without fees of any kind.
Stenography and typewriting is free.
Music is free. In the music department
not only is the piano course free, but
but there is no charge for instructions
on stringed or band instruments.

HARD LINES FOR MINERS.
interior Department Holds up All Miner
NJ Leases In Creek Nation.

NJ Leases Ia Greek Nation.
Washington. Oct. 3.-The Interior
Department has handed down decis-
ion holding up all mineral leases in the
Creek Nation thus far negotiated. The
decision is severe blow to capitalists
in st. Louis and other western cities
who have invested large sums Of money
in the development of oil and coal
fields in the Nation.
Prior to the enactment of the Creek
treaty oil and coal leases had been
secured and large sums of money spent
in developing coal and oil properties
A number of valuable coal mines are
now in operation in the vicinity of Red
Fork, and oil wells are being sunk in
the same locality. The operations at
present are going on under contracts
made with members of the nation who
have made their selections. These
selections, however, have not been ap-
proved by the Dawes commission, and
probably will not be for six months to
come. Patents to the allOttees viii be
issued some time within the next year,
but until this occurs no individual
leases for the mining of coal and oil
are of any validity whatever.

OTHER CASES HAVE WAITED
For This Decision OF the Supreme Court
on Saloon snnasbinz

on Saloon Smashing.
Topeka, Oct. s.-The Kansas supreme
court has affirmed the Judgment of the
district court of Shawnee county in the
case of the state against Ralfe Stark.
Stark was one of Carrie Nations as
sistants in joint smashing. In one OF
their raids they destroyed property
which led to arrests. Stark was 6ned
S25 and costs The whole amounted to
about 500. He appealed to the su-
preme, claiming among other things
that saloon, being under the ban OF
the law, might be destroyed by any
citizen without any violation of the
law. In the syllibus the court says:
"An places where intoxicating IL
quors are sold or kept for sale, or places
where persons are permitted to resort
for the purpose of drinking, the same
are declared by statute to be common
nuisance. This fact, however, does
not justify their abatement by any per-
son or persons without process of law.
They can be abated only by prosecu-
ton instituted in behalf of the public
by the proper officers. The destruc-
ton or injury to property used in aid
of the maintenance of such nuisances
except in the manner provided by the
statute, is a trespass."
