Oklahoma and Indian Territory Salts
fled With Conditions.
Oklahoma City, Okla, Aug. 18.-
The outlook for an average cotton
yield in Oklahoma and the Indian ter
ritory is not favorable at this time.
While the plant is generally small.
the bolls have formed and are fairly
numerous on the stalk. with the
continued conditions, cotton will
make from a half to an average yield
over the different portions OF the belt.
In the central portion of the terri
tory he crop will make from 40 to 90
per cent Of yield at the present
outlook
There has been no rain to speak Of
in this district but if rain should fall
soon the crop would reach probably
rs per cent. 1t could make more.
In the eastern portion the condi-
tions have been and continue more
favorable Good rains have fallen.
and cotton, though short, is looking
fine and is in favorable condition. The
crop In that section will be from 20
to 80 per cent Of a yield. If there is
rain from now on the yield will be
even larger and the whole crop win
make fair average yield.
In the Indian territory the crop is
In a good condition, similar to the
condition of the crop in Eastern Okla
homa. Rain has fallen in that sec
tion and the crop will certainly make
an average yield or better No cot
on to speak Of has been picked in
this section yet It is impossible at
this time to tell how it will grade

OBJECTIONS TO STATEHOOD
SLOWLY DISSOlYING
OklahOmaS Claims TO Admission Into the Union Have
Weight--TerritOry Has Over Half Million
PeOpIe--Ten States Are Smaller
fBy Associated Press.l


Kansas city, Aug. ia special to
the Times from Washington says:
A determined effort win be made
during tIe coming winter to secure
the admission of Oklahoma territory
into me sisterhood of American states,
with fair prospects of success. For
ave years the people of the territory
have been knocking at the doors Of
congress. pleading FOR admission to
statehood. At first their appeals were
treated with derision, for five years
ago little was known Of Oklahoma.
President Mckinley had just been
elected on a platform which declared
in favor OF the admission Of the three
western territories as soon as they
could meet the constitutional require
ments, but unfortunately for Oklaho-
ma she had In he previous election re.
corded a good sized majority in favor
OF Democracy. The Republican con
gress refused to even consider her
claims, partly because Of the ignor-
ance of the public statesmen Of the
wonderful development Of the terri
tory, It's population wealth and in
stitutlons, but largely because it's peo-
pie had shown prediction otward
free silver and Democracy.
But the people of Oklahoma came
largely from the western states, where
temporary adyerslty is of frequent oc-
curence. The arst rebuffs they re-
ceiyed had no perceptible effect upon
them, and when he next congress as
Rembled another appeal for admission
was made It so happened that in
1867 providence extended a helping
hand and the most bountiful crops ev-
er produced in the western territory,
on the same area Of land, we're grown
1n Oklahoma. The startling array Of
figures presented in the daily papers
attracted attention, though by most
members Of the senate and house they
were accepted as an oklahoma story
Il had, nevertheless. the effect of cen
tering attention upon the territory,
and those who advocated statehood
received, at least, a more hearty re
ception in the committee on terrltor-
les of the house and senate than they
had previously.
About this time the territory re-
elected Delegate Flynn, a Republican,
as delegate TO congress, by substantial
majority This also had It's effect up
on the party in power. The older
members. however. were still skepti-
cal OF the political complexion of the
territory. Then. there was too, a mar
row Republican majority Ia the sen
ate and the admission of the territory
meant two more senator's and these
two senators might give the Demo
cra,s a majority in the upper branch Of
the national legislature. This phase OF
the situation prevented action for
several years.
