Guthrie O. r., Jan. Judge Burford' q
letter 20 the Eagle I'm the matter of state

that it was the glegitmate offspring Of

tract comprising almost exactly three
congressional townships in x ngds e.
Homestead in Blaine. has made the bid
for the county seat of this Pre- pOsed
county. The map shows a tiny corner OF
Blaine north OF the Cimarron. Whether
this should remain with its present at
tachment or be added 10 Kinghsher. for
convenience Of its occupants, does not
appear in the scheme
Third. take all Of Blaine not hitherto
appropriated: Drotract the east line of
Blaine across the west end Of Blaine
across the west end of Canadian, cut Ing
of two congressional townships and a
half; protract both east and west lines
Of Blaine southwest into the Wichita
country 10 the north line Of township 8.
This would make one Of the only two
rectangular counties OF the six proposed
counties first and last involved n the
grand round of reconstruction Its 3un-
ty seat might be Geary. No name Eas
been proposed. AIarkwine of Honest - d
Blaine county. introduced a bill f)r the
above division four years ago, whicq was
killed in the house.
A fourth scheme has been favored ~
the people of eastern Woods county.
There has been a desire TO be artao1ed to
the counties east. Grant ana Garfield Il
has been proposed to protect east-and-
west lines of these two counties twelve
miles westward into Woods. and there
draw a new western boundary inc. The
people there are districted, Iegislatively
with the two counties IN question, they
do business at the railroad market owns
in those counties and they have n the
past expressed a strong desire to b cone
in ali other respects parts of th3se coun-
t.a=.
It may be said. however. that he rep
resentauve from Woods county Is not ap-
parently favorable to any division. nor 70
any agitation Of the subject
Noble county is said to be stin casting
a longing eye toward two Payne county
tcwnships-the northwest corner one and
that lying east of it. The Grant county
county seat contest has cast up to the
surface a proposition. wild or otherwise
for the splitting Of the county in north
and south halves. If equally divided II
would produce two counties each thirty
miles long and fifteen wide Nothing can
be heard any more of the proposal TO di-
vide Greer county.

NEARLYA MILLION DOLLARS
Are on Deposit IN the Banks of Kay
County.

Guthrie, o. T, Jan. 5.-The banks Of
Kay county by their December state
ments. reflect in no small degree the pros
porous condition of the county, says the
Blackwell Record. The deposits in the
banks Of the county aggregate something
like $4,000, the figures not being OBTAIN
able from three of them at this writing.
Newkirk banks lead with total for the
three Of S21S. .129.52; Ponca City is second
with $2H0S6.56 and Blackwell third with
S2O5,116.31 We venture the assertion that
there is not another county in the terri
tory that win show as large deposits of
money that belong to the people of the
county. Kay county is absolutely all right
and her bank deposits are only a small
per cent Of her real wealth. Her farms.
business houses, cattle. hogs. corn and
wheat viii show a total wealth exceeded
by few counties her size in the United
States.

NO MARGERET M'KINLEY THERE
Young OklahOmau who Is said to be
Visiting White House.

Guthrie, O. T, Jan 5-Reeently the
New York papers have been printing stor-
les about Miss Margaret Mckinley Of
Kingisher, Oklahoma, who is said to be
visiting President Mckinley She is
given great prominence, is said to be
looked upon in awe by the Indians Of
Oklahoma because she is related to the
Great Father" that she can shoot ac-
curately and can break a broncho
Is Margaret Mckinley a myth? In all
likelihood for the Kingfsher Free Press
says: There is no Margaret Mckinley
in this town who claims relationship with
the president. and never has beeen. The
'variegated interviews are out of whole
cloth. There is a Mckinley family here
the head of which was a cousin of Pres
ident Mckinley. He was appointed post
master probably for that reason. He
was an honest unassuming gentleman,
who died about two years ago At the
request Of influential citizens. his widow
became his successor in the postofice.
Two of her daughters assist in the post
Office work, and they perform their dut-
les in a very satisfactory manner to the
public They do not parade on broncos
or cut any other shines to attract public
attention and gossip. They have never
been in Washington to visit the pres.-
dent or for any other purpose. but have
remained steadfastly at their post Of
duty assisting their mother TO take care
of large family of children which be-
came dependent upon her at the death Of
her husband. They are bright, modest.
amiable and hard working young ladies
who enjoy the respect. confidence and
friendship Of this community
