Is AGAINST
PIPE LINES
Hitchcock Refuses
toAIIow Oil Piped
Into Kansas.

The decision of the secretary
of the interior in regard to the
laying of oil pipe lines in the
Usage reservation in Oklahoma
and the Indian Territory, is
against the extension Of oil line
privileges.
The decision sets forth that
in the opinion of the department
it has no right at present to au-
thorize the laying of lines in the
Indian Territory, "and," says
the report, "only so far in the
Usage reservation as applicants
may acquire such right as sub
leasers, either from the origin al
lessee, Mr.. Foster, or by being
actually interested or identified
with, as part owners of the
rights OF the sub-lessees acquir-
ed from the original lessee, sat
isfactory proof of bona iide in
terest or ownership to be sub
mitted to the department. "
The department holds that
the right to construct and oper.
ate pipe lines is given in sub
stantially the same terms as the
right to mine oil. The con,
struction Of the pipe line or lines
seems necessary, in the opinion
Of the secretary, to the success
ful mining operations under the
lease.
The department has held that
right of assignment of mining
privileges under the lease should
be recognized such assignments
being subject to approval by the
department as the original lease
was. The right to assign OF
sublet a pipe line constructed
under the provisions Of said
lease also should be recognized,
Any such transfer would, OF
course, be subject to approval
by the department.

A DIFFICULT
OPERATION
Mouth Opened After
Being Closed for
Six Years.

At Muskogee Friday DR.. Fite
and several assistants performed
very difficult and it is believed
successful operation upon Miss
Louise Daugherty, of Denton,
Texas, a niece Of Mr.. and Mrs.
d. j. Eddleman. It was what
is known as Esmarch's opera
ton for ankylosis of the jaw,
and so far as known there has
been but one similar operation
in this country and that per-
formed by DR.. Fite some years
ago.
About six years ago Miss
Daugherty had severe fever and
later as a result her jaws be-
came set and since that time she
has been unable to open her
mouth at all and for six years
her tongue had not passed be-
tween her teeth. Il became
necessary to remove two Of her
teeth in order for her to take
nourishment. She was told by
eminent specialists at Ft. Worth
and Dallas that the case was an
incurable one, and in fact two
previous operations had been
unsuccessful. From various
causes, the flesh on the jaw eff.
feeted had been eaten away aud
the young girl presented a very
pitiable appearance. Her pa
rents brought her here. DIR. Fite
was consulted aud agreed to
perform the operation. II was
done Friday at the home of the
girls aunt, Mrs. ID. j. Eddie
man, and was highly satisfac-
tory. The young lady's mouth
was opened one inch and next
morning she was able to use her
tongue freely. Three teeth that
had become deeayed were re-
moved and later a large piece
OF skin will be removed from
her neck aud shoulder and will
be grated into the check. Both
the surgeons aud the young
lady feel that the operation has
been a success and that in a
short time she will be complete
ly recovered.
This is an operation that is
considered one Of the most diff
cult in the lists Of surgery and
has seldom been attempted out
side the larger cities. The OPP
eration takes its name from a
famous surgeon named Esmarch
who was hrst to successfully
perform il.

PARK PLAN READY
FOR APPROVAL.
Will be Submitted to
City Council at
Once.
PRYOR CREEK COURT.

The latest plan for improve
ment Of the south park calls for
It's naples, 240 elms, and a few
eyergreens and mountain ash,
about 425 IN all. The scheme
provides for two rows Of elms
around tho park on the outside.
Before these are set it would be
"a good plan to run the road
grader around the outside a few
times, throwing the dirt in, IN
stead Of out. thus leveling and
giving it drainage. Further,
before the trees are set inside
the fence the ground should be
thoroughly narrowed and il a
roller can be secured it would
be well TO roll ii.
II IS expected the city council
will approve the plan at the
first meeting and that the work
can be done at once. In the re-
vised diagram prepared by Mrs.
c. f. Lahman the circular and
also the diagonal drives are 30
feet in width, the paved circle
in the center to be 150 in diam
eter, the pool 50xlOO and the
pavilion 75x75.
The location Of each tree
should be marked by a surveyor
or someone conversant with such
work in order that as a whole
the beauty and symmetry IN
tended may be secured. Il IS
likely that very soon our people
who have signiiied a willing
ness to furnish trees or pay for
setting a given number will
have an opportunity 70 do SO.
