|, act. supervisors were elected every year. but
the plan was a poor one and the constant
reorganization of the County Board caused
so much trouble and kept the business OF
the various counties In such a chaotic con-
dition that a change was demanded. In
1851 the law was amended to extend the
term OF office to two years and to provide
for the election OF only one-half the men,
bership at each spring election. and since
that time this plan has been in force and
has been working satisfactorily.
In the law providing for the election of
supervisors. provision was made for as
eistant supervisors in townships whose pop
ulation entitled them to extra representa-
ton. The name Of such assistant SUPER
visors depended on the amount Of popula-
tion. and within the past few years a prac-
tice OF stufiing the local census returns to
get additional supervisors has grown up IN
several parts OF the State. 1t was to put a
stop to this practice that the law which
Is now causing much trouble was intro
duced by Senator Stubbleield Of Blooming
ton.
The act which was passed was designed
to provide that only Federal or State
census could be used as the basis for town
ship representation in a county board. but
1t repealed the entire section providing for
the election of supervisors.
Whoever drew the bill copied the old act
without reference to the amendment Of
1857. and as a result the new statute re-
enacts the old and unsatisfactory law.

and these places are now a vast area of
excellent farms. producing everything that
the north temperate zone produces in the
way Of grain products.
Extent of Reservation.
Roughly. the new reservation is bound on
the south by Red River. on the east by the
Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific Railroad
In the Chickasaw Nation; on the west by
the north fork of the Red River, and on
the north by the Washita River.
Tho reservation comprises 100000 acres.
The Wichita Mountains. which traverse the
western edge of the middle of the reserva-
tion. form a watershed from whence the nu-
merous creeks and small rivers flow either
toward Red River or the washita River.
For the most part, the land is rolling, we'll
watered and well-drained.
In the Wichita Mountains surveyors and
engineers have found traces of iron copper
and lead.
The northern half Of the country is fairly
well wooded. the variety of trees consisting
OF cottonwood. butternut. hickory. pecan,
oak and blackberry. The southwestern part
is really an extension of the great plains of
Texas. Grasses grow in abundance, the
winters are mild and the breezes prevent
oppressive heat in summer.
Settlers who 60 into this new Tertiary
probably will not be subjected to annov-
ances such as attended the opening Of Okla
homa. for a more practical method of filing
claims will be inforced. This will prevent
much Of the litigation over title which in
numbered the courts during the first few
years succeeding the opening of Oklahoma.

Merchants and Manufacturers.

Licerse Collector whyte has instructei 4
the clerks in his office to observe ex-
traordinary precautions In accepting the re-
turns of sales. stock on hand. and ma
chinery Of merchants and manufacturers
Up to this time II has been customary to
receive statements subscribed to by credit
men or department managers. but Mr..
Whyte will require the returns to be at
tested by n member of the firm submitting
the statement.
There is reason to believe. Mr.. Whyte
says. judging from the relative proportion
of sales and stock on hand exhibited in old
returns that some of the afiidavits were
not as complete or satisfactory as they
could have been. In consequence the city
must have lost an amount of license tax
each year The new Office regulation will
tend to insure more reliable returns.
Mr.. Whyte will have the assistance C.

taxes OF some firms. This board began its
sessions yesterday. Marcus Ber1heimer IS

A. Moffett and George J. Chapman. The
board examined about 400 returns yester-
day. About fifteen returns were rejected
and the firms were notified to appear and
explain the items. The board will exercise
unusual care in indorsing the returns.
The law requires that all returns be
rendered by the third Tuesday In June
