for recognition, and if Oklahoma
alone can present so strong and un-
answerable argument in favor of its
early admission, how much stronger
is the argument for immediate ac-
tion of congress if Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory are to be unit
ed into one state? Combined the
two territories will have popula-
tion of 900, 900 and an area equal
to that of Ohio and Indiana com
bined. In the Indian territory at
this time there are thousand miles
of railway in operation and fully
a third more in course of construc-
ton. The bank deposits aggregate
81. 900. 600. There are many cities
with large mrrclntile establishments
aud nauu. .arturics and many other
evidences ~. prosperity and prog
l'h-S.
The country districts are unde-
veloped, having been retarded by
the lack of Legislation giving them
proper government and other ia-
cilities.
The cotton crop last year was
valued at over 81 900, 900, and there
was large area planted to corn,
wheat and other agricultural pro-
ducts. Estimated by those who are
in yosition to know whereof they
speak put the value of taxable prop
cry in the Indian territory at this
time at SS5, 900, 900, exclusive of
the lands outside of the cities, none
of which are taxable at this time.
The embracing of the Indian ter
ritory within the boundaries of the
state would give them representa-
tion in congress and secure for them
legislation to rapidly terminate the
unsettled and unsatisfactory con-
di,ions prevailing in that territory
at this timc. Land titles would rap
idly be secured and the whole COT H.
try be developed and advanced in a
way that nothing else could bring
about There are in that territory
three whi., i;orle to every Indian,
ard yet outside Of the few incorpor
a.cd cities The. white children have
30 schools and both whites and
Indians have little or no protection
for their lives and property, all OF
which would bc remedied under
statehood.

whose aggregate resources exceed

reach the large amount of sli.OO0,-

state there is smaller percentage

which they have done business and
that the only troublcthey have with

insist ON paying off ,hc loans before

The public school system in Ok
lahoma is equal to that of any state
in the union. There are in the ter.
ritory 2.09G school districts. in
every one Of which school is held
from five to nine months of the
year. During the past year nearly
/ $3.50, 900 was expended on carrying
on the common schools of the ter
ritory. In addition to the district
and graded schools the territory has
five higher educational institutions
embracing a university, normal
schools and agricultural and me-
chanical colleges with commodious
buildings and equipments and fac
ulties equal to those of any of the
states of the union. During the past
year over 1000 students were in
attendance at these institutions. all
of which are open free TO students
from Oklahoma and Indian terri
tory.
The wheat crop Of the territory
was 30, 900, 900 bushels the present
year. The corn crop of last year
was go. 900, 900 bushels and the cot
ton crop was l5O, 900 bales. In no
other section of the union can these
three crops be grown successfully
on the larm. Fruit is also largely
grown and the products of the or
chards of Oklahoma placed on ex-

CORo NER'S INQUEST
JOHN MALEY'S DEATH BEING IN
vESTIGATED.
THEORY OF FOUL PLAY GROWS
Now Thought That Maley Was
Drugged-Expert Thinks Man Was
Dead Before Body Reached
the River.
Especial to Inter Mountain)

Missoula Oct 1.-THE eoroner's in
quest on the death of John Maley, whose
body was recovered from the north
channel Of the Missoua river Tuesday,
began last night and will be continued
today.
The public at large continue to hold
to the theory of foul play, although there
were no visible signs of violence on the
remains and Notwithstanding the fact
that money was found in the pockets.
1t is difficult for the dead mans ac-
quantances to believe that, under any
circumstances, he would take his own
life. They say his was not that kind Of
a disposition. He was an unusually good
mechanic, reasonably successful and in
comfortable circumstances.
An incident occurred during the in
terval between Maleys disappearance
and the finding of his body which would
seem to indicate that some person or
persons were interested in throwing the
searchers on a false scent. The Maley-
family were anonymously advised to
look for the missing man in private re-
treat, where he would likely be dis
covered.
The epitomized testimony before the
coroner last evening was to the follow
ing effect:
Maley was seen on the streets of the
town Wednesday evening by several wit
nesses
E. 7. Dorsey said that on Wednesday
night he had worked until after mid
night, and between midnight and !
o'clock Thursday morning was walking
along East Front street when he met
A1aley, being led by two strangers out Of
q saloon. Maley was stopped forward
and his arms were raised about on q
level with his chin. The three men came
out OF the saloon and turned toward
Higgins avenue, taking most of the
width of the sidewalk.
Dorsey had known Maley for long
time and spoke to him, but Maley gave
no sign Of recognition and did not ap-
pear to hear the salutation. Dorsey
went home and the three men Went
toward Higgins avenue.
Saloonkeeper Lee testified that he was
on duty the night in question, but was
not in the saloon at the time of Maley's
visit He said Thibedeau must have been
tending bar at the time.
When called on the stand, however.
Thibedeau could not remember, he
claimed, If he was or was not on shift
In Lees place on Wednesday night. He
did not know Maley
Il. 6. Bond was called as an expert
regarding drowning. His opinion is that
Maley was dead before he was thrown
into the river Mr.. Bond suggested that
Maleys position when found was sug-
gestive Of the fact that he had become
rigid while sitting at a table with his
head resting on his hands
The case up to date remains as dense
a mystery, almost, as before the body
was found, and it has become the sensa-
tion and topic of conversation of the
town. No efforts will be spared by the
coroner ana the public to throw light
on The case and ferret out the facts,
which at present seem to tend to but
one conclusion-that Maley was drugged
in some way and when it was discovered
that he was dead, the body had been
thrown into the river
