TOPICS OF The TINES

The clouds are sending Iowa snow In
very small installments.
The people Of Oklahoma and Indian
territories will fight any proposition that
seeks to make one state out OF the two
territories.
The Federation Of Labor has adopted
a resolution in favor OF the exclusion OF
the Chinese, but 1t is willing to admit
the little japanese.
The receipts Of gross postal receipts at
the fifty largest postoffices in the United
States for November. compared with
November Of last year, shows net In
crease Of $4S2.0is, or over II per cent as
whole.
Croker is becoming too modest for
any use. He says he will not lead so
much as in the past, and that all the
talk Of his becoming state leader Is
arrant nonsense. Dick has wisely de-
termined to make his grand exit as
graceful as possible. Whenever he
steps aside for another leader he can
not make the public view 1t in any light
other than that he was kicked out.
Hill and the tiger are again at har-
mony, but their reunion will still make
1t Hill work for the democratic
party to get control again.
There are only four states In the
country which have more than million
voters each, New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Illinois. At last years presi-
Dental election the total vote Of Illinois
was only 10000 less than that OF Penn
sylvania, tho by the federal census OF
last year Pennsylvania had total pop
ulation OF 100000 and Illinois total
population og 4.soO,OOo only.
The waterworks of Boston represent
a cost Of s15,00O,O00 and have daily
supplying capacity of 75,000,0Oo gallons.
Another reservoir is about to be con-
structed at Weston, which will bring
the metropolitan water system one step
nearer completion. 1t will receive the
water thru the big Weston acQueduct
now being built from the Sudbury res
ervoir at Southboro. The two great wa
ter depots Of the metropolitan system.
which supplies water to ten towns and
eight cities within ten miles OF the state
house, are Spot pond and Chestnut Hill
reservoir. These are connected and the
supply can be varied at will. These
are supplied from number OF subsi-
diary reservoirs, one OF which is the
Sudbury reservoir.
The press is now talking about the
coming great state-Oklahoma That
name is certainly great enough to awe
into docility the most savage native.
Before 1t becomes state, the name
should either be changed or the people
advised of Its pronunciation.
The democrats swept Boston by $4,000
plurality, the largest in its history.
Patrick A. Collins is chosen mayor and
his party controls city affairs absolute
ly. General Patrick A. Collins is re-
ferred to as a shining example of what
poor but gifted boys can do with Ameri-
can opportunities. At IA he was work
ing in the coal mines of Ohio. At 20 he
was a Boston cabinet maker by day
and an enthusiastic law student by
night. Before he was 80 he was emil

cratic leader. AT 40 he was in congress,

COUNTY SEAT FIGHT
Gayman Wants to be Whole Cheese
Instead Of Beaver.

Guthrie o. T., Dec. 3.-Beavcr county
is likely TO have a county seat fight in
the near future. Beaver is the present
county seat. Guymon which is now on a
railroad wants the county seat and is
making offers TO get it. In the last issue
OF the Guyman Herald the following ar
ticIe appeared:
The removal OF the county seat TO the
center of the county is the only practical
solution of the problem Of keeping Beaver
county undivided and in one body. Every
taxpayer is concerned and no one should
remain Indifferent to a mOvement-the
correct solution Of which is OF vital inn
portance TO every taxpayer. This town

1000 GERMANS
TO SETTLE IN
GREER COUNTY
Agents for Colony of Farmers
Making Arrangements.
SECURED 10000 ACRES
Of Land in Southeastern Part
By Option Method.
SECURED 10000 ACRES

Mangum. o. T.. Dec. s.-Parties repre-
senting themselves to be agents for q
colony of Germans. farmers all of them,
who want to come to Oklahoma. have
been in Greer county some time, and have
secured options on from 10000 to $1,000
acres Of land in the southeastern part of
the county. says the Sun Monitor.
The promoters of the enterprise claim
that the colony viii be composed of ! 900
Germans and their families. and that it
is the plan to locate each family on a
z0-acre tract of land.
The land has been secured in one body,
and lies south of the town of Navajoe.
II viii be a valuable addition to Greer
county's wealth, 10 have so many sturdy
Germans come in at once and settle 50
thickly. They viii make the grand soil
off Greer blossom and bear fruit as 10
never yet has done. 1t VIII also jump
the population OF the county up several
thousand. All of the land secured by the
agents has been taken up by homestead
ers during the past ten years, and many
Of the homesteads have not yet been
proved UP on. The options run until next
spring. when the deals are TO be closed
and the Germans are to come-so say the
men who are securing the options; but
there are persons who are inclined to the
belief that this German colony story is ali
a myth-that the options are being Sc
cured by represents tives of a syndicate
who expect the railroad building which is
to be done in that part of the country
next year 10 greatly enhance the price
Of the land. making their investment
very profitable We hope, however, that
this rumor is false, and that the Germans
are coming, and that they viii flourish
and prosper and build up a great colony
in Greer county. They are good citizens,
thrifty and industrious.
The option method of doing business
causes the farmer to lose control of his
farm, and have no share in the advance
in price Of land. and may also cause him
TO lose his crop, as the deal may be
closed too late for him TO secure another
farm. On the other hand. if the land
should, by any means, depreciate in value.

the land in the possession of the owners
