Guthrie, o. T., April Ex-senator John
B. Harrison of Roger Mills county and a
member of the codifying committee
which is just completing its work on the
session avs, was the only member of the
council of the last legislative assembly
who was elected on a straight Democratic
ticket. It is almost needless to state that
he is opposed to fusion and was elected
al the last election hands down and did
not make a canvas of his district.
Senator Harrison is a resident of Chey-

Texas. He is of the Texas type, tall and
straight and is affabIe wherever met

Senator Harrison was one of the sup
porters of the s'Mound Builders F." meas
ure While he did not specially like the
bill, yet he voted for it rather than have
the present method followed. He gives
his reasons for so voting and states that
the money derived from section thirty
three was TO have been placed in the pub
lie buildings and that by the end Of the
two years as stated in the bill Oklahoma
would have had fine set Of buildings
without any cost to the taxpayers of the
territory. This" said Senator Harri-
son, would have been better fer our peo-
pie than the appropriations now made for
the maintenance of our insane and pris-
oners. Governor Barnes probably had
his reasons for not signing the bin and
he is lust as much entitled to his opinion
as I am to mine. This question OF public
buildings is a great one, but am per-
fectly willing to debate my position with
any one on the stump. for think the bin
would have been better than the method
now pursued in Oklahoma. There is al
ways a cry of fraud when public build
ings are mentioned. but that bill was so
tied up that there was hardly any posi-
Bile chance for fraud by the persons
handling &c money
Senator Harrison was responsible for
the bill to have a southwest normal. The
bin was in the hands of the committee
and was sent out as substitute Sena-
tor Harrison was satisfied with it then
and placed his shoulder TO the wheel and
the result of his work was an appropria-
ton of over $4,000 for an institution for
the southwest portion of Oklahoma. The
senator win not be a candidate for re-
election. He is contemplating going into
one of the new towns which viii be form
ed after the Kiowa-C omanche country

Trouble Experienced by Townsite Sur,

Guthrie. o. T., April 6.-The surveying
of new town sites in Oklahoma brings
on the trouble caused by people removing
the corner stake and thus interfering
with the work of surveying. People in
the vicinity Of Ardmore have been both
cred by, such work, and as a word Of
warning the Ardmorite says:
At the present time, when the townsite
surveyors are every day driving down
posts and establishing corners and lines
ia our city, it may be well to read up
on the law relating to their removal. Tn
doubtedly some may remove them with
out thinking for a moment of the vast
trouble which they may he mourning to
the surveyors. The clause which has
just been handed US is as follows:
That hereafter it shall be unlawful
