FL Reno.-The Rock Island officials
have received what they consider au-
thenic information that oil has been
struck Mt Granite. just west Of the
western border Of the Kiowa and Com
anche country. General Passenger
Agent Thompson Of the Rock Island
road passed through FL Reno on hi,
way To investigate the matter. The
oil is said TO be Of excellent quality and
the well regular gushcr. Although
there have been reports of oil before In
the territory and many gushers have
been found that never got above the
earth's surface, yet IL is believed this Is
no fabulous report. According to the
report there is every prospect In the
world that this will give Granite such
boom that when she bursts she will
go sky high. II is thought the vein of
oil that has been struck may turn out
something great for the whole country.
Everybody is expectantly and anxious
iy waiting Thompson's return and the
confirmation Of the report.

The president Of the Oklahoma cot

now the cotton cror Is not greatly
damaged by the hot weather. He says
that rain in the next few days will do
a great deal Of good. II IL does not
rain soon all Of the bolls on the stalk
will drop on. They will simply dry
up and fall of. and unless new bolls
are put out the crop will be a failure.
l have seen the stalks full Of bolls and
everybody thought that there was GO
ing to be great crop but when few
days later the dry weather set In the
bolls dried up and fell of, Il looked
like there would be no cotton that sea-
son al all. In a short time, though, IL
began TO rain, and the dry, dead look
ing stalks turned green again and new
blooms were put out Everybody was
surprised but there was no cotton fail
ure that year. There was the biggest
crop that ever was raised" IL cannot
surely be more than a few days before
there is good rain which will make
che crop safe.

Drouth Essry Time.

Guthrie Leader A strange coinci-
dcncc Is taken note Of this year In re-
gard to the years which parts OF Okla
homa territory have becn opened to
settlement. II Is fact that every
year any land has been thrown open
the year has also been n drouth year.
An almost general drouth was expert
cnced when old Oklahoma was opened.
The same Thing occurred successfully
In 1880. when the Sac and Fox country
came In: 1891, when the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe country was opened and Ia
1893 when the Cherokee Strip was
settled. Ia 1895. when the Kickapoo
country was opened the corn crvp was
