BOOMING
OREGON In
OKLAHOMA

From the Dear Creek, OKLA, Times.
j. F. Jones of Salem, Oregon, came in
Friday to transact business for about
month. Mr.. Jones has hosts OF friends
here who were glad to shake his hand.
He brought with him glad tidings of the
coast country and Gays it is the finest
country on the face Of the earth. He
brought with him some samples Of the
products Of that country, among which
we're come of the finest pears, apples,
wheat and oats we have ever seen. Also
some very fine prunes which he says are
produced in immense quantities. Land
there is cheap and yet he says there lie
no finer soil but for various reasons has
been held down in price. Good farms
OF 100 acres can be had from $3.50 per
quarter TO $25 per acre. The climate he
reports delightful aud altogether seems
to be a very desirable place in which to
live. In the town of Salem with a popu-
lation Of about twelve thousand the only
peace officer required is a marshal. He
says land there is certain to advance in
price, however, and the investment of 9
few dollars today will mean hundreds oI
dollars in few years. The boom scent
to be in that direction and is healthy
and lively. II it beats Oklahoma it is 9
daisy and the fact that it is anywhere
near our own Territory ITS gooC
qualities makes it matter of importance
that investors investigate the conditions
there.

Strong and schafer in their treatise on
The Government OF the American People,
have taken Boston, Philadelphia, and
Chicago as best representing our forms
Of city government. We usually consid.

ness, yet most of us fail to realize that
they also differ as radically in their
methods of government. Nor are the
city governments unchangeable Prob
ably no cities have preserved the same
form of government throughout their ex'
istence. 1t is evident, however, that we
are slowly developing typical city gov

SHOOTS POLICE CHIEF WHILE
RESISTING ARREST.
WOUND WILL PROVE FATAL
Negro Could Not Realize
What Was Going
On.

Elkins, w. Va, July 22-Tonfght the
dead body of William Brooks, negro,
swings from the limbs of a tree In
the city park here, and Chef of Pc
lice Robert Lilly is dying in Cumber-
land, Nd, hospital, from the effects
OF a bullet wound inflicted by the
negro. Word was brought to the po-
lice station this afternoon that Will
liam Brooks, colored, was creating
trouble in the lower end Of town, and
asking for aid. Chief Lilly said he
would go himself and bring the man
in. When Brooks saw the officer COM
ing, he ran to his house, and when
Lilly reached it and ordered him to
come out Brooks appeared at a front
window armed with a gun. Oficer
Lilly ordered him to surrender.
Brooks refused, and Lilly ran into the
house The crowd outside made no
offer to help, and the officer faced
the desperate negro alone. Sounds
of a. struggle could be heard and the
crowd rushed into the house to help.
The men e r. found on the floor in
mortal combat. The negro was shout
ing that he would never be taken alive
and the officer, silent and grim, held
him with a death grip. Suddenly the
negro worked his right arm free from
the grasp of the officer and, catching
up the revolver that had fallen to the
floor in the struggle, fired point blank
at the officer. Lilly fell to the floor
shot through the abdomen. When the
officer released the negro he broke
from the room and ran, followed by
a big crowd. After a chase of half a
mile, he was captured. He fought des-
perately but was overpowered. Other
officers came to the rescue and with
small ceremony Brooks was turned
to the sheriff to be taken to the
county Jail. At the prison doors, a
mob Of men at least 400 strong sur
rounded the officer and demanded the
prisoner.
The sheriff and guards refused and
made a desperate resistance but to no
avail. Brooks was seized and was
through the streets, half walk.
ing and half falling along, towards the
city park. Then he was ordered to
prepare to die. The negro could not
speak and seemed almost insensible to
was going on, and in a few. min
ltes his body swung lifeless from a
tree. Then the mob dispersed, and
many women who had followed to
witness the horrible tragedy returned
their homes with white faces and
certified hearts. Officer Lilly's wounds
ire fatal. The body of Brooks up to
! late hour this evening still swung
n the park.
