The people OF Chickasha and
the whole Indian Territory are
vitally concerned in the outcome
OF the agitation now going on
over the proposed admission Of
the territoriesnto statehood. Our
friends:of Oklahoma City and the

the people Of the Indian Territory

ate union OF Oklahoma with the
Indian Territory, aud they have
proposed mammoth conference
of all the interests in sympathy
with that movement, to be held in
Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Jan.

opinion among them that we will

The right is asserted to hold the people

ARGUMENT FOR IRRIGATION.
Chicago Board OF Trade Champions the Cause
of Arid States.

A Washington disptch says: William
II. Chadwick, chairman of the transpor-
tation committee of the Board of Trade
of Chicago, has written a letter to Rep
resentative Newlands of Nevada, the
author of the pending irrigation bill, pre-
senting new reasons why this measure
should be passed. He says:
1.-The districts which compose the arid
lands by reason of the intense dry heat
there produced and which, through the
eastward movement of all atmospheric
conditions across the continent, are, and
always have been a great menace to all
that great agricultural country lying east
and northeast of the section in question,
notably Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Mis-
souri,, Illinois. Iowa, South Dakota, In
diana and Ohio.
The tremendous losses experienced
within the past twelve months by farm
ers, the live stock interests, and merchant
and common carriers, are fresh in our
minds-a veritable calamity.
'fThe great loss entailed through the
corn crop failure and substitution on a
large scale of other grain to supply de-
iiSicHSy ticiepy cduseu, with "hcdt' rye
oats, etc, resulted in the curtailment of
exports to such an extent as to be not
only extraordinary but in some instances,
as with corn, sensational.
1.-THE effect in the Eastern or consuming
States are notable, and scarcely any part
of the Union has been unaffected by the
conditions produced by the scorching
blight, which, originating only in the
arid region, blasted the crops over a
large and important part of the country.
1--WE who are directly affected by such
misfortunes desire to earnestly second
the endeavor to remove the constant
menace to prosperity in such a wide scope
Of country and ask for legislation to that
end"

deafness, and that is by constitutional

and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam-

est, most prosperous and most powerful
States in the Union"
Mr.. Newlands contends that there is
nothing at all in the idea of some senti-
mentalists that there would be a breach
of faith on the part of the United States
in taking the course for which he argues.
There is no force involved in an invita-
ton extended in this way. AS an inde-
pendent government the new republic will
have absolutely no more right to demand
tariff concessions of the United States
than have other countries An invitation
extended in this way would be an honor
to Cuba. Il have no Doubt" said Mr..
Newlands, mat Cuba will accept the in
vitation to become part of this repub-
lie; but should she see fit to decline and
remain an independent republic she can
certainly never complain that America
has not acted generously in extending to
her an invitation which puts her upon
an equality with the rest OF the republic
and opens up to her people boundless op-
portunities for prosperity and happiness.
Cuba is Independent, and must remain SO
If she Wills it. Cuba must come to US
willingly and joyfully. or not at all. But
certainly Cuba will be a desirable part
of the United States if she does come will
lingly."
VALUE TO THE UNITED STATES.
Speaking OF the value of Cuba to the
United States, Mr.. Newlands points out
her manifest advantages from a military
standpoint and holds that our people

island is capable of supporting twelve to
fourteen million people. The Cuban peo-
pie. he holds, are less undesirable now
than they viii be after ten or fifteen
years of independence. The transition

after years of independence The protec-
torate We Will exercise over Cuba viii, il
all probability, give rise to greater fric-
tion than could possibly come from ter
ritorial relation carrying with it the pros
pect of ultimate Statehood.
"In view of these conditions" says Mr.
Newlands, there seems to me no ques-
ton that the time is opportune for ex-
tending such an invitation as l propose
to the Cuban people. 1t does not involve
anything liAe coercion or force. 1t gives
them ample time for deliberation. 1t Is

could extend, and it is an honor which. in

A letter was received Friday at Os-

the young man from Leetonia was lost
last Saturday and at the time the let
ter was written he had been lost three
days. The letter was mailed from an
obscure postofIice in the mountains,
which was 20 miles from the point
where the camp had been located. The

INSANE ON TRAIN
Mother, Travelling With Small
Children, is In a Sad
Piiqht.

Bellevue, o., Sept. 27.-A pitiful
case of insanity developed last night
on the Nickel Plate passenger train
due here at midnight. Mrs. David
Chapman, of Kemmerer, Wyo., and
five small children were on board en-
route to their old home in Scotland.
West Of the city the woman became
suddenly and violently insane, and
when they reached this place the fam
lily was taken from the train.
Here everything possible was done
for them by kind hearted citizens and
the authorities, but their plight is n
sad one. The youngest child is a babe
eight months old, and the eldest only
twelve years. This afternoon they
were taken to Norwalk to the county
infirmary, where they will be cared for
until the husband, who has been noti-
fed, Is heard from or arrives. nH
