WONDERFUL GROWTH OF OKLAHOMA
In That Territory the Rich Soil L. At

In That Territory the Rich Soil Is At
tracing Thousands of Settlers.
That portion of the west comprised
in Oklahoma and Indian Territory is
the center of interest for the ever
present emigration movement that
marks American civilization. The
states to the north and south have
been drained of their surplus popu-
lation for a de ,ade to build up these
virgin lands, but the process is not
complete. The land offices of Okla
homa, outside of the newly opened
reservations, have done during the
last summer, the largest business in
years.
Western Oklahoma lands that were
considered fit only for the herder are
being taken for small ranches, and
the cattlemen are nervously watching
the destruction Of their barbed-wire
fences by the advent of the man with
the plow. Indeed. this is the only por-
tion of western land outside the irri-
gated areas that can be secured for
new settlement While vast tracts are
yet open to homesteading in other
parts of the west, they are the refuse,
the arid, rough or worthless claims
undesired Dy the settlers of the last
three decades.
Little wonder, then, that the virgin
lands Of the Indian Territory, capable
of producing bale and a half of cot
ton, seventy bushels of corn or forty
five bushels of wheat per acre, should
be in demand; or that Oklahoma
farms, with almost equal fertility, and
which are to be subdivided and rear
ranged to suit the development Of the
country and the increasing population,
should attract both settlers and invest
ors.
Peopled to a larger extent than ale
most any other part of the union by
native American stock, says a writer
in the Review of Reviews, with the
advantages of example in the organi-
zation and development of other COM
munities. guided by the knowledge OF
to-day and following modern business
methods. there should be a marvellous
future fer this region.

NATURE PROVIDES ICE HOUSE
Food for Birds That is Preserved in
the Arctic Regions.

Food for Birds That is Preserved in
the Arctic Regions.
The NUMBER of birds that go to the
arctic regions to breed is vast beyond
conception. They go not by thou
sands, but by tens and hundreds of
thousands. and because nowhere else
in the world does nature provide at
the same time and In the same place
such lavish prodigality of food.
The vegetation consists of cram
berry. cloudberry and crowberry
bushes, and these. forced by the per-
petual sunshine of the arctic summer,
bear enormous crops of fruit. But the
the crop is not ripe until the middle
and end Of the arctic summer. and if
the fruit-eating birds had to wait until
1t was ripe they would starve in the
meantime. as they arrive on the very
day of the melting of the snow.
But each year the snow descends
on an immense crop of ripe fruit be-
fore the birds have time 20 gather it..
1t is thus preserved perfectly fresh
and pure, and the melting of the snow
discloses the bushes, with the uncon-
sumed last years crop hanging on
them or lying. ready to .e eaten, on
the ground.
The frozen meal stretches across
the breadth Of northern Asia. 1t never
decays and is accessible the moment
the snow melts. The same heat which
thaws the fruit brings into being the
most prolific insect life in the world
the mosquito swarms on the tundra.
No European can live there without a
veil after the snow melts. The gun
barrels are black with them and clods
OF them often obscure the sight.
Thus the insect eating birds have
only to open their mouths to fill them
with mosquitoes, and thus the pres
ence Of swarms of cliff chaffs. pipis
aNd the wagtails in this arctic region
is accounted for.

Traffic will be carried on In the

devoted to vehicular traffic. Foot pas

rick Feehan, for % years in charge
of the Roman Catholic arch diocese
of Chicago, died yesterday after a

For more than a year the arch
bishop had been in poor health. Much
of his time had been passed in the
quiet of his country home at Feean-
Vile and for months all the business
of the church had been taken out of
his hands. Some time, ago for the
purpose of relieving himself of the
duties of his Office, Father P. J. Null
doom was appointed auxiliary arch
bishop of Chicago. This position is
not in the line of succession and it
does not follow that Bishp Muldoon
will take the place of the archbishop.

UNITED STATES AND JAPAN.
International Complications May Rise
Over Marcos Island.

Washington, July 13.-In regard to-
the report that international compli-
cations may ensue between the Unit
ed States and Japan as the result of
the Japanese taking possession Of
Marcos island, about 800 miles west
of Honolulu, and which is owned, it is
claimed, by Captain A. A. Rosehill, an
American citizen, an inspection of
the government record of Guano is
land entries discloses the fact that in
1889 Captain Rosehill lodged notice
of the discovery by him of Marcos is
land in the western Pacific and claim
ed the right to exploit it for Guano.
The department receives such notice
for the purpose of recording another
section of the law requiring the claim
ing to go on and take out a bond, the
purpose of which is to see that he
does not charge an exhorbitant price
for the guano; that the island claimed
by him does not belong to any other
country and that he will vacate when
he has taken away the guano. There
is no such thing as a fee simple title
for the island, the government mere
ly affirms the right of the claimant to
take the guano. Recently Captain
Rosehill filed the bond with the treas
ury. The law requires proclamation
to be issued locating to the world the
location Of the Guano, but this has not
been done in Captain Rosehill's case.
1t is the general impression that these
Guano titles are of extremely doubt
full force and it is the further opinion
that it is absolutely necessary to main
tain title that the island claimed
should be continuously occupied and
explored for guano. Therefore if the
Japanese are working the island as
reported it is improbable that the
United States government will inter
fere.

Thousands of dollars worth of per-
ishable matter lies rotting on the rail
road tracks and in the freight houses.
The freight handlers will not touch it,
the teamsters will not haul it, and the
ice delivery drivers will not bring the
ice to save it from destruction.
The cold storage warehouses may
be drafted into service Monday. If
this interferes with the success OF
the strike it is possible the teamsters
will refuse to make city deliveries
and shut off the supply from this
source.
Heavy pressure was brought on the
Chicago Federation of Labor officials
tonight and a petition calling for a
special meeting on Tuesday night was
received by President Bowman. If
this meeting is called the executive
committee of the federation will again
endeavor to bring about settlement
and that failing will recommend a
call for a sympathetic strike in all
branches of trade which affect the
railroads.
The members of the ice drivers
union hauled their last loads of ice to
the railroads tonight The officers of
the union tried their best to have the
men work, but the drivers refused.
Their action leaves all the refrigera-
tor cars now standing in the city with
out ice, all the railroad cold storage
houses without supply and deprive
all passenger cars of cold water until
they can reach some outside point
and be loaded.
