can YInlta be- Bonded !?

There 10 some talk going around
the streets to the effect that under
existing laws Vinita cannot issue
bonds in the sum provided for by
the last Council, and the finance
committee Of the present council
is given for the statement. We do
not understand this to be the case.
The law on the subject is as fol-
lows:
THAT any incorporated town or
city in the Indian Territory hav.
ing population of two thousand
or more is hereby authorized TO
Issue bonds and borrow money
thereon to be used for the con.
struclion Of sewers and water
works and the building OF school
houses; such hoods not to exceed
an amount, the interest on which
at five per cent per annum would
be liquidated by tax OF five mile
on the dollar OF the valuation Of
the taxable property in such city
or town, to be ascertained by the
last assessment for purposes Of
taxation. Act approved May
10. 1902.
Let US see. rhe present bond
ed indebtedness OF Vinita is sl2,
600. The issue for waterworks
and sewerage it is estimated,
will be $4,000. Total s72, 600.
Five per cent interest upon that
amount would be $1,000
For the purposes of calculation
let us say the assessed valuation
Of yinita is only $1,000, 900, al
though il will exceed that amount,
even il no changes are msde by
the Board Of Equalization. The
interest that could be liquidated
by a tax OF FIVE mills upon the
dollar Of such valuation would be
5000 Leaving US SOS, 600 with
in the limit prescribed by law.
Other towns in the territory with
no greater assessed valuation
than Vinita have already issued
bonds equalliug or exceeding
the amount proposed and there is
no legal obstacle in the way Of an
issue here for the purpose coniem-
plated

Conditions are Worse Than
In the Last Congress.
A SENATE COMBINE
Might Let the Two Territories in
In AS One State, but the Out.
look Is Not Favorable at this
Time.

Supporters of statehood for the
territories are beginning to recog-
nize that an uphill fght contronts
them in the next Congress. "Un-
Gle Joe" Cannon is not friendly to
the statehood proposition. There
will be trouble at the very begin
ming Of the session oVer the organ
ization Of the House committee on
territories. On the Senate side,
the committee on territories, as at
present organized, will be indiffer-
ent to the admission Of any Of the
territories. Political and business
pressure may change the Senate
situation somewhat but at this
time the committee is not interest
ed In the appeals Of the statehood
supporters. Senator Foraker took
with him to the Columbus conven-
tion a statehood plank. He did
not succeed in having il incorpo-
rated in the state platform. Penn
sylvania only of the determining
Republican states has spoken in
favor OF the admission Of the terri
tories. Senator Beveridsge arriv.
edin Washington Saturday night.
The chairman of the Senate COM
mittes on territories was not in
clined to discuss the statehood sit
uation.
~ DO not want to 60 on record
with a prediction" said Senator
Beyeridge, Hbut you can say one
thing, | think with perfect safety,
If there is any statehood legisls-
tion, Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory will come into the I'm.
ion as one state"
NOT TIE REMoTEsT CHANCE.
"You don't think there is sny
chance whatever for double state
hood?" was asked.
Not the remotest," be answer
ed.
Senator Beveridge is, Of course,
not absolute authority. but what.
ever position he takes viii reflect
the sentiment OF the influences
which dominate the majority eide
Of the Senate. The insistence up.
on having Oklahoma aud the In
dian territory come into the Un-
ion as one state is due to many
causes. Primarily, il will make
consistent the Republican posi-
tiou that New Mexico and Arizona
have no, sufficient population to
justify their admission. The prop
osition to admit these two terri
tories with one million popula-
tion will be contrasted, with the
demand OF Arizona to be admitted
with one-fourth Of that population
and New Mexico with less than
one.third Those who want no
statehood legislation whatever
will be offered the opportunity Of
opposing the admission OF the new
state on the ground OF Indian ter
ritory's unpreparedness The new
state would have at least Eve and
probably six votes in the electoral
college. Under no circumstances
would Republican majority vote
to admit a strong Democratic state
Just on the eve Of election, and
even though the enabling act
could be passed, the admission
would be fixed for a date subss-
quent to The election Of 1904.

BE A SPECIALIST.
One variety and Conservative Oper-
atioas bring success.

ose vssriety and Conservative Oper-
ations bring success.
We are thoroughly convinced. both
from ac ,ual experience and observa-
ton. that most people Will do better
and gain success quicker by trying to
breed only one variety and by limiting
their operations to a point within their
ability and means. Very few people
have the room and facilities for caring
for more than one breed properly or to
best advantage. There is one thing
particularly noticeable about the mat
ter. Most people who start with n
number OF breeds finally dispose OF
most of them and oftentimes become
specialists and keep only one variety of
one breed. The majority who com
nence operations with one variety nnd
that one Is sufficient for best results.
and they do not increase the number.
Many people. Of course. succeed with
two or more breeds. but we are speak
Ing Of the majority and especially the
conspicuous successes and those who
are the principal winners in the show
room.
We believe that in every case the be-
gfnner Will do well to devote his time
and attention to one variety. by
spending the same amount Of money
for stock or eggs he can get better
quality and greater quantity by in
vesting II in one kind. Starting with
more stock than one can care for Is
also unwise. This and overproduction
have been responsible for results that
have put more than one beginner out
Of the business. Conservatism. expert
ence and good business Judgment count
for as much In the poultry business as
in any other. and II IL well to bear that
in mind. We are interested In seeing
all succeed. and we call attention to
these matters in the hope that many
who need advice Of this kind Will nc
cept what we have to offer. Those
who have unlimited capital and ground
for . large plant can better AFFORD to
follow their inclinations II they lead
In the other direction.-American Poul-

Two Men Hort

Helding Hertell and Bert Collett,
painters employed on the new buildings
at the United States smelter, were
dashed from the roof of one of the
monster bag houses to the ground, a
distance of thirty-tive feet, Saturday,
but both escaped instant death. Her
tell broke the force of his fall catching
upon window ledge for an instant and
was only slightly bruised although
severely shaken up. Collett sustained
a fracture of the left wrist, one leg and
rib or two, besides probable internal
injuries. The accident was occasioned
Ivy the breaking of the graphing hooks
which were used in staying the float
ing ladder, upon which the men stood
while at work painting the roof. The
men were taken to their homes in
South Canon and surgical and medical
care given.

A June Wedding.

beautiful home wedding took place
Tuesday afternoon. June 30, at the
pleasant home of the brides parents
on Greenwood avenue, when Miss Anna
Dorothy Somerville and Mr.. Roland
B. Lamoreaux, Of Denver, were united
in marriage by Rev. H. N. Wilson.
The house was prettily decorated
with cut flowers and potted plants.
Noticeable among the decorations was
an immense boquet of the delicate pur-
pie and white native columbines,
brought from Mr.. Somerville's ranch
on Tallahassee Greek.
In corner of the parlor a bank of
palms had been arranged and a floral
marriage bell was suspended. Here
the bridal party took their places.
Miss Grace Dale presided at the piano.
As the notes of the Mendelssohn We'd
ding March pealed forth the groom and
his best man, Judge Kent Eldred, en-
tered the parlor. Then. through an
other door, came Miss Minnie Somer-
vile, as maid of honor, Immediately
preceding the bride. who entered
with her father. The beautiful and
impressive ring ceremony of the Pres
byterian church was used. During
the ceremony Miss Dale played softly
Mendelsseon's Confidence" and at
its close the triumphandt chords of
the "Wedding March" again rang out.
The bride wore handsome travel
ing dress Of mode etamine over taffeta
of a paler shade. She carried a single
Jacqueminot rose. Her maid of honor
was gowned in light organdie.
In the dining room The decorations
we're of smilox and pink and white
sweet peas. The ice cream and mints
were also in pink and white.
The bride has spent most of her life
in Canon and is admired not only for
her personal charms, but for her sweet
and womanly qualities.
The groom is brother of Mrs. John
Cleghorn. and was at one time employ
ed at the penitentiary. He now has a
position in Denver, where he and his
i'ide will be at home to their friends
after August Ist.
Only thA relatives of both parties
and few neighbors and intimate
friends were present. Mr.. and Mrs.
Braxton Wilson, nee Miss Lille Somer-
Vile, of Louisville, KY, and Mr.. Will
liam Sutherland, of Pueblo, were
guests from out of town.

day morning, J i'd, Bailey pronounce
ing an indeterminate sentence OF ten to

The girl was II mystery to the Of
ficials for some time but her identity
was finally established by Sheriff
Simon, who found her mother and
three sisters in Pueblo. The girl first
gave her name as Rosa Edstrum, and

lead an exemplary life up to the time
she came to Canon City. After the
preliminary hearing in the case Miss
Hummer was taken to Pueblo and from

Poultry Insect Destroyers.
There Is one valuable advantage OF
keeping poultry on the farm that Is
generally overlooked. and that is the
vast number of insects destroyed by
them.
II every insect caught by a hen in a
day were counted and an estimate
made Of the number Of insects eaten
by a flock Of twenty five hens. 1t would
show that hens are more useful In that
respect than may be supposed.
When busily at work scratching. the
hen secures many grubs and worms,
while the lnrvH Of insects also assist in
providing them with food.
A flock of turkeys will search every
nook and corner OF field for insects,
and as turkey can consume n large
amount of food 1t will make away with
a vast number of them each day.
The active guinea Is ever on the
search over the fields for insects. II
does not scratch. but every blade Of
grass Is looked over. and II rarely
comes up to the barnyard to seek food.
Its industry prompts 1t to secure Its
own food. and In so doing hundreds Of
insects are destroyed.
The ravenous duck. whose appetite
seems never satisfied, will attempt to
seek enough in the zelda, and 1t cap
lures not only insects. but the Geld
mouse and small reptiles will be eaten
II other food IL not plentiful. But II in
sects abound they will b content with
eating them In preferences to anything
else.
