TREES IN OKLAHOMA.
How They Should be Planted for
Success

Guthrie o. T., March 9.-On the sub
ject of tree-planting in Oklahoma, z.
Folger writes 10 the Manchester Journal:
1T is a subject Of vast Importance to
the early settlers of a treeless country
Ike ours how and when and what kind
Of trees to plant to obtain the best re
suits. There are many kinds Of trees to
choose from that would do well in this
country if properly managed. think no
greater mistake can be made than select
ing large trees. In such a case you get
few if any feeders, they being well out
on the ends Of the roots are sure to be
left in the ground when the tree is dug
When moving apple trees they should be
the size Of a lead pencil. The roots of
such trees can be taken up with more
feeders, while they have less to sup
port. The result is growth, If cared for.
We sh auld not expect many apples inside
of seven years after planting, and long
before that time the little trees viii shoot
by the larger ones. A peach tree just
bursting the pit IS not one whit behind q
tree of any size you may choose, provided
the tree has to be transplanted. 1t is very
convenient for nursery men to dig their
trees in the fall so as to have them ready
for early delivery in the spring. There
may be ways to keep them so they VIII
not lose vitality. but I question it.
know that a limb cut off IN the fail would
be nearly dry by spring which proves to
me that the root has the top to support
during the winter. 1t is only reasonable
that such treatment is hard on the tree
and also on the root prefer to trans
plant trees just before the leaves start
Then 1t has a chance to go to work at
once and repair the injury. The roots
should not be exposed to the sun or dry
wind FIVE minutes. Catch damp day for
removing trees Set the trees deep so
that a little hollow can be left around
each tree. which may be filed up level
during the first years cultivation. Never
ridge up the trees. Do not plant any
thing in your orchard or grove-it requires
all the ground. On the other hand Kill
every plant that comes up When a
drouth comes YOU viii have nice moist
ground for your trees. If young trees are
treated to the root hog or die plan they
die every time. And it looks to me Ike a
hard death"

Oklahoma During the last week the pa
rcrs which have been friendly TO the gov

notices of him and pointing out the ad-
vantages Of his administration, and this,
together with the talk Of the politicians,

RoAsTs THE TWO CITIES.
Senator Haven on Oklahoma City and
Guthrie.

| Guthrie,
Guthrie, 0. T. March 9.-One of the
notable roasts Of the week on the opyo-
sition to the public building bill was
! from the pen Of Senator Haven Of Enid.
| He lays all the blame on Oklahoma City
and Guthrie He says:
''The insincerity Of those who oppose
| the public building bill is well illustrated
in the measures which they have passed
with a view to defeat that bill De-
! nouncing the public building bill as a
fraud and outrage they have Champion
ed measures for other buildings, for
which there is no necessity and for large
expenditures for the institutions already
located, exceeding by more than $500 900
al that the public building bin involved
Besides, the measures referred TO pro-
vide for considerable direct taxation Of
the people while the public building bill
would not require a dollar Of taxation,
all the expenditures being provided for
out Of revenues derived from the public
building lands Again the latter build
ings are all necessary. and their erection
would economic in the cost of the pur-
poses for which they are erected. On
the other hand the territory now has
two normal schools and has no need Of
another. And appropriations for third
one are nothing short of reckless ex-
travagance and waste Of money. No
less unwise and extravagant Is the bill
to erect a building in Kay county as q
preparatory department for the university
at Norman. The university does not need
a preparatory department. Tt is itself
scarcely more than preparatory school.
The investment in buildings there is less
than $4,000, and the school correspond
ingly small tt has no more use of an
Independent preparatory than it has for
a midway plaisance. Besides, when It
becomes sufficiently important to require
such department that department
should be in connection with the univer-
sty. and under the same control and
management The expense Of a separate
building more than a hundred miles dis
tant. under a separate control and direc-
ton is entirely unnecessary and Uncalled
for. Other features Of the measures Of
the opposition to public buildings are
equally unwise and exhibit with equal
force the Hypocrisy Of their pretenses
Of economical purposes.
"The fact is themotive Of the opposition
is simply to hold the principle, and most
needed public institutions in a position
to trade on them TO secure the capital
location, regardless of cost to the people
of the territory. Oklahoma City and
Guthrie, both want the capital, and both
especially Oklahoma city, are willing to
sacrifice the balance Of the territory TO
get it. The principal fight comes from
Oklahoma City, though to q considerable
extent Guthrie followes her lead. The
capital cannot now he located, and the
purpose Of the opposition to the location
Of the other institutions is to use them in
the future to trade for votes for the capt.
al Oklahoma Citys fight is so vicious
and corrupt and is likely to iniict such
unnecessary burdens on the people Of the
territory that she viii have few friends
to support her claims for the capital when
she comes to look for them"

YOUNG BAYNE IS DEAD.

Guthrie. o. r., March 9.-Young Bayne
who was injured in the faH from the
balloon at EI Reno is dead Coleman

has been variously told. This is the
version Of the El Reno Democrat: Prof.
Coleman and Clarence Bayne, in attempt

double parachute leap last Sunday
evening. met with serious accident,
which resulted in the death Of Rayne
and left Coleman with a seriously injur-

ankle. and q slim chance for recovery.
Coleman is an old timer in the balloon
business. ana in order to give the pub
lie something out of the ordinary con-
structed a balloon large enough to carry
two persons. from which he intended
making double parachute leaps He and
Bayne intended making the initial ascen~
sion Saturday. but owing to the high
wind it was postponed until a more fav-
Cra5le day. Sunday evening was per

SHE RODE

FIRE-FIGHTERS
Daring Act of an Oklahoma
Young Woman,
CARRIED THEM LIQUOR
To Sustain Them in Their
Contest With the Flames.

Guthrie, o. T, March 9.-Oklahoma in
PRODUCES a new heroine. She didn't save
any lives, but she carried liquid re-en-
forcements to a crowd of men who were
in sore need Of strength to keep up a
battle against a prairie fire which was
sweeping over a portion Of Woods coun-
ty. She made daring ride to do it.
The incident is set forth in the Waynoka
News, which says: Last Saturday night
there was on of the worst fires Of the
season over in the pasture belonging to
the Quinlan Bros, ". c., and Tom Quin-
Ian, were there with the whole ranch
force, they had beeen fighting the fire
for four or five hours and were nearly
exhausted from heat and thirst Miss
Ada Lavingder who is staying at John
Calloways. knowing the condition Of the
men, finally declared she could stand it
no longer so she saddled one Of Mr.. Cal
loway's work horses which is none too
safe for a lady TO ride and started to find
the fre-fghters. The night was very
dark, the wind was blowing hurricane
and the flames rolled over the hills and
canyons in great red pillows which de-
vOured every thing in their path. This
brave girl, over a trackless prairie
scorched with fire, succeeded in finding
the men. Tied fast to her saddle she
had large bottle Of liquor for the weary
men who were fighting the fire just in
time, too, for some of them were hardly
able to go farther. Whether it was the
liquor or the presence of this noble girl
which renewed their spirits. it is hard
for the men to decide. They all said
that none but southern girl and Miss
Lavinder at that. would have the spirit
to undertake such a trip. All join in
hearty thanks and good wishes for the
heroina of the IS ranch"

PRECIOUS RELICS IN OKLAHOMA
President Murdaugh Has Washing
fnlt.s Razor alron.


Edmond, Q. T., March S.-This week 5
| issue OF the Enterprise published in this
city by Ed Felt, contains an interesting
story concerning President Murdaugh Of
the Normal school. II says:
President 4urdaugh. Of the Territorial
Normal at Edmond, has two relics f
President George Washington ana Lady
Washington one OF these relics IS a
razor strop used BY General Washington
during the Revolutionary war, when ne
was in the field as commander-in-chief
Lady Washington gave this razor strop u
her brother Judge Bart Danbrldge, and
thence it came into possession Of Lucy
Danbridga, grandmother Of President
Murdaugh who now owns the valued
relies. President Murdaugh is the owner
Of another. precious relic Of the Revolu-
tionary period; a solid gold collar button.
made in England more than 175 years age.
The button bears the initial d, and was
the property of Colonel Nathaniel Dan
bridge. OF Hanover county. Virginia, the
father Of aAIrtha Danbridge. who be-
come Lady Washington, whose first nus
band was a Custis. The button became
The property OF Lady Washington, VINO
held it in high esteem. II is related thai
on state occasions she permitted Presi-
dent Washington to wear this button,
which was then, as i is now, regarded as
a precious heirloom in the Dandridse e
family. The button descended TO Rev. DR..
Murdaugh. Of Virginia, whose mother
was Lucy cambridge. the great niece Of
Lady Washington. Rev. DR.. Murdaugh
was the father Of President Edmund
cambridge Of the Edmond Normal. An
interesting episode in the history of this
button occurred in 1853, when General
Ben Butler, with his force on James
river was trying to keep open telegraph
relations with Grants army then north
of Richmond. The Confederates cut the
wires so often that Butler became furi-
Gus and resolved to adopt one Of his
characteristic, cruel methods of warfare
There lived iE that region several aged
non-combatants and clergymen, among
whom was Rev Or. Murdaugh. Butler
ordered these non-combatants arrested
and stated that If the wires We're again
cut he would shoot them. OF course the
Confederate scouts again cut the wires.
and Butler ordered Rev. DR.. Murdaugh u
be shot DR.. Murdaugh had with him, in
prison, a faithful slave, to whom he en-
trusted the collar button with orders to
carry it to his residence and, if possible,
secure immediate help President Muir
daugh was then boy of years and he
was mounted on a swift horse and sent
to Confederate headquarters with mes
sages Of great import. The result was
that Richmond soon communicated with
the government at Washington, and back
came the characteristic words of Abra-
ham Lincoln, I am not fighting clergy
men and non-combatans.' General But
ler's cold-blooded order was revoked and
Rev. Murdaugh and his friends were
saved. 1t goes without saying that Presi-
dent Murdaugh sets great store by that
gold button, because of its historic inter-
est. and values it more highly than rubies
and gold"
