STATE HOUSE.
Still Talking Of Wednesdays
Big Excursion.
How Mr.. Wyman Would Save the
lobsters.
Demand for Travelling Libraries Is
Growing.

AS yet the talk of the good time
which was had on the annual State
House excursion has not concluded
among those who made the trip. Many
of those who ordered Photographs
from the photographer who made pic
lures of the party While it was at Fort
Allen park, Portland, have received
the pictures and are much pleased with
them. They are splendid examples of
what skillful photographer can do,
for the conditions under which the ex-
posures were made were very bad. A
heavy rain was falling at the time and
the sky was black and overcast, SO that
there was nothing approaching a IA
vorable light, even.
The photographs, however, came out
good and clear, every person being
easily recognizable, which is, it must
he confessed, a surprise to all, for the
general expectation has been that they
would be far from satisfactory. 1t was
this thought which kept many from Or
dering q copy of the picture.
Demands for travelling libraries are
beginning to come into the State Ii
brary in considerable numbers. The
months of June, July and August are
usually months when there is but q
light demand for the libraries. This
year it has been different, a large num-
Der of them having been sent out and
requests have been received for many
more. Many of the requests, which
have been received this summer, have
come from summer visitors to the
-;~l, 70
reading, yet did not care to purchase
books at the time. Among the places
to which books were sent in the month
of July were:s Winthrop, Winterport,
Brookline, Rangeley, East Livermore,
Lowell and Old Orchard. The last
named place now has three of the Ii
braries. (
The State library now has 80 of these
travelling libraries, each consisting of
so books, made up. Many of them are
out at the present time. Work is now
in progress of arranging the libraries
and getting them in readiness to send
out, when the demand shall begin to
come in, which will be about the first
of the coming month.
[ Many of the towns which secure
these libraries use the books in connec-
ton with their own free public libra
ries as it increases the number of vol
unes, which are available to their pa
irons at Il very moderate expense. 1t
is for this same reason that many of
the small Sunday schools throughout
the State use the travelling libraries. by
doing so they secure the use of so books
for six months at about the price OF
two books. which is considerable OF a
saving to them.

BrosIus Finds New Graft.

Ardmorc, I. T., Sept. 3O-S. NJ. Bro
sius, agent for the Indian Rights Asso-
citation, has discovered new graft in
the Choctaw nation. A dozen mar
riage brokers are making Il good thing
out of finding white husbands for
Choctaw maidens and Choctaw maidens
for the white fortune hunters. Every
girl in the nation will receive $50 acres
of land when the allotment is made,
and in addition is entitled to about
So, 500 cash as ore share in the tribal
funds on deposit in the United States
treasury. The brokers contract to find
white husbands for (, fee of from S25
to 500. The brokers then advertise
in eastern papers and collect from s25
to $3.50 from each white man for whom
they find on Indian bride.

Wichita Live Stock.
MINES IN WICHITA MOUNTAINS
A GeOlOgist Sent From Washington To
Settle The Question.

Guthrie, Okla, Oct GIL. T. Balm of
Washington. geologist of the United
States geological survey, has been de-
tailed to make Il close investigation in
the Wichita mountains in Oklahoma to
ascertain ii there are minerals there.
This investigation is 70: the purpose OF
knowing what rights mineral claim
ants have on lands now classed as
agricultural, and the report OF the
geologist will have much weight in
disposing OF filings made on such land
for mineral purposes.
Mr.. Balm was TO arrive in the Wich-
tia mountains this week. Many filings
have been made on land now held by
persons using the same for farming
purposes, and in a number of cases
serious trouble between farmers and
miners has been narrowly averted.
Heretofore the interior department has
denied the rights of miners to make
entry on these lands, and it is on ac-
count of the strong pressure brought
to bear in behalf of the miners that
the investigation was ordered. If the
report is favorable holding that there
are minerals in the mountains worth
mining, the miners viii have won a
victory. On the other hand, if the
report is adverse, no fling on land for
mineral purposes viii be allowed.

This fact regarding conditions in

of the oil excitement in the Bartlesville
district there was a great demand for
these oil lenses were sought both by
experienced men and tenderfeet. The
case referred to was that of an Indian
who had entered into six different
leases for the oil rights on his allot-
ment, each Que of whom paid him
money and thought himself secure in
the possession of a fortune. But one
day the six lcssees happened TO meet
and discovered from each other that
they had been buncoed by the ''poor
Indian" and it was to be Il contest to
see who would be the winner and who
the loser. Each made application to

INDIANS EXPERT GRAFTERS

was all submitted about the only point
! that had been clearly established was
the fact that Poor Lo bad entered into
six leases where he should have made
but one, and had cotton nice piece
of money from the ''boys'' who are
among the smartest and smoothest in
the Southwest. No decision has been
rendered.
There are many cases similar to this
one, and it is pretty generally admit
ted among those who have had ex-
perienee that the man who gets the
best of an Indian or Creek negro must
be postmaster in the art of grating,
if he doesn't get the worst of a deal
pretty often. There are many would
be graftcrs who have come to grief,
and have invested in experience many
thousands of dollars. One well known
banker OF Kansas who has "a weakness
/ for speculation on the side is said to be
in $50 900, and would be glad to cash
out at so cents on the dollar. He made
a speciality of agricultural leases. One
company here, in which Governor
VI SOA 10 SSt4Ne " NC
is reported to be sin the hole'' about
$50, 900 on minor leases alone, if Judge
Raymond's decision is finally affirmed.
It is no secret that practically every
man here who dabbled in agricultural
leases on Indian lands did so with the
expectation of grating on the Indians
and making easy riches, but experience
has shown that it is Il wise one, indeed,
who has not paid for a lot of expert
ence. The same thing is true of the
so-callcd trust" companies that are
so numerous. 1t is probably true that
some of them were incorporated to
transact a legitimate business, but so
many were started only to pursue
grating policy that the very name has
become Il byword and almost synonym
for graft and disrepute.
