The entries for claims is still being
made by winners in the land lottery,
Entry men are no longer willing to file
on poor land just because it is near
Lawton. and they are selecting some
of the rich farming land in the Rec
river country, near the Texas line and
near NARROW and Duncan, within few
miles of the Chichasaw border. The
filing is proceeding smoothly both here
and at the land offices in the other dis.

Colorado, stopped here for a short time
yesterday. and from the rear platform
of his train addressed several thousand
veterans attending the state G. a. r.

teen minutes and aroused the crowd to
great enthusiasm. He thanked the old
soldiers in the name of the American
people for their past valor and sacrifices
and referring briefly to civic life, warm
ed them not to envy life of ease. You
old soldiers" he said, do not envy those
who lived lives of ease from 81 to '65.
You do not regret the work you did then
do you?" A fire of answers and amens
poured from the veterans, and Mr..
Roosevelt continuing, said in part: eve
can never hope to make the country all
it should be until we honor the man who
works until we accept the principle that
the man Is to be judged by his work as

UNDERGROUND WATER SUPPLIES
Government Studying the Rivers to
Find Resources for Irrig ation.


Clinton, Aug. 15.-It is not generally
known that the government thru the
United States geological survey has
been making careful study of the
rivers and the underground water sup
ply of the country. So important has
this work become, and so helpful to
many widely diversified interests, that
a special branch, known as the divis-
ion of photography, had been organized
to conduct it. This division has been
in existence since 1888, and is pushing
its Investigations as rapidly as APP
preparations will admit Broadly
speaking it's work consists of careful
inspection of the habits and behavior
of rivers, the variation of the amount
of their flow turnout the year from
year to year. This entails study OF
their drainage basis and an accurate
measurement of their discharge. The
knowledge thus obtained is necessary
foundation on which all enterprises
contemplating the use Of the rivers
must depend. In the east many rivers
valuable as a source of water supply
are under examination. In the west
for these purposes also and for trriga-
ton they. are being measured. The
very important matter of river popu-
ton is one which demands the same
initial Investigations. and the govern
ment is rendering it's assistance t.
check and avert this growing evil
Out on the great plains where the
rivers are few and rainfall is light, the
underground well waters, so necessar,
to the Inhabitants, are mapped ant
thus made available.
A number of states in different part.
OF the country have seen the value o
this work and have made appropria-
tons to have 1t continued within thei
more rapidly and more fully than tn,
government alone could afford to con
duct it. The country's water resources
which are among the greatest 1T pos
sesses are practically inexhaustible
and have just begun to be developed.
