Governor Ferguson Thinks There Is
Unnecessary Friction.

WatCnga, .. l., June 1i.-in the Repub-
ican this week Governor Ferguson says:
Somebody IS acting in very curious
manner. Somebody is going to get let
down hard and strike the universe with a
Gull thud An effort has been made to
create discord in the Republican ranks
by agItating the Republican national
committeeman question Who cares
about the national committeeman at this
time: Why should such q subject be agi-
tated? There are a hundred men in the
Republican party OF Oklahoma who would
,be good material for The place. The ma
tionaI committeeman VIII not be chosen
until after the delegates TO the next ma
tional convention are selected. That is
one year of. Why agitase and irritate?
What is to be accomplished. The Re
publican party viii not be strengthened.
such work breeds discomfort and creates
discord.
what difference does it make whether
the national committeeman is a. Flynn
man or a Mcclure man? These men are
a part of the party, but neither of them
is the party. The party is much larger
than either Of them. Neither OF them
should dictate the next nauOnal commit
teeman and neither Of them viii attempt
it. They are paying but little attention
10 the controversy but some of their fool
friends % are agitating it to the detri-
meat Of the party. Certain persons who
are trying to climb up on AcGuire's
shoulders are attempting TO rib him to
fight Flynn. Certain persons who don't
HE Nfl.f.tra are irving to rib Flvnn to
scrap him. Now this is all foolishness.
and the men who are attempting it are
very poor Republicans. The territory is
not ready Tor another factional fight and
the sooner it it understood the better.
This paper is fer the Republican party
first. individuals are secondary consid-
erations. We are for Flynn and we are
for Mcclure. but ternally against fac
tion strife. especially when no good can
result from it,

VIEW OF
TIE SALT
PLAINS
Woods County Has a Natural
Curiosity to Offer
LEVEL AND BARREN LAND
Hottest Days Require Wraps
for the Visitor

Lambert, o. T. June 27.-The Free
Homer points out one CT the sights worth
seeing in Woods county. 1t says:
! We had the pleasure of a trip to one
/ of Woods countys natural curiosities last
/ week. Thousands OF acres of land as
| level as a door and without spear of
! notwithstanding but sand and a thin
covering of pure salt AS we have never
seen a geological survey of this county
we viii not venture TO guess as to the
| source of the salt, whether it is deposited
| by the Salt Fork of the Arkansas river,
which flows along it's eastern boundary
and overhows it in times Of high water,
or whether it comes to the surface from
deposit made in remote time when this
section was the bed of a lake, we cannot
tell. but think it is most likely the
latter.
AS we approached the plains we encoun-
tered a cold, damp breeze. On the hottest
days one needs wraps in crossing.
On reaching them one first finds ir-
regular mounds raised from two to four
feet above the level of the plains. These
mounds are of various sizes varying from
a few square rods to several acres in
extent. They are covered with 4 heavy
growth Of grass. When we were there
herds of cattle were feeding upon the
grass.
After passing these mounds we come
to the open plain. The plains. at the
point We entered is about nine miles
across, but the plain is so level and
so dazzling white that it seems but a
fo1H hot hrrn
who so there to hunt the ducks which
are found there in great numbers at GER
tain seasons of the year. have great diff
Guilty in killing any game as they IN
derestimate the distance.
On a bright. clear day, the effect upon
the eyes is much the same as if the
ground were covered with snow. Here
there is a greater tendency to head
aches. as there is the adde dstrain of
looking at distant objects and trying TO
distinguish them against a dim and dis
tant horizon.
Whe nwe were there we found great
numbers of frogs, fish etc. that had been
left by the receding waters. These were
thoroughly sailed, and the specimens we
brought away with us, seem perfectly
preserved, DtluS tIAti Ou5AAA9 AAiiPA
and encrusted with salt. Upon the plains
proper there are no signs Of life, but
upon the mounds around the border we
found the tract5 and burrows of some
small animals. The mounds are also pre-
sunably tenanted by various species of
snakes.
A .galloping horse produces a dull hol-
low sound and in places the ruts made by
the wagon wheels would I'll with water.
In places there are quick sands.
The tires upon the wagon wheels be-
come encrusted with the salt, and leave
a very plain track as they take the fun
thickness OF the salt and leave the dark
sand to contrast with the whiteness Of
the salt Farmers gather the salt by
simply driving across the plains and hold
ing shovels upon the wagon tires to
scrape it off as it is picked up by the
tires in their revolution.
The sight is one that we'll repays a
visit and in our case one look makes US
want to see II again.

WAS A FAILURE,
Shawnee Affair Was Nothing Like
What Was Expected.

Guthrie. o. T. June 2s.-Regardless Of
claims made b. Democrats that the
Shawnee single statehood convention was
a monster event. the report has gone out
in Oklahoma that the convention was
a failure and there Is undoubtedly Just
cause for reaching such a conclusion
With he exception Of representation from
Pottawatonie and Oklahoma counties the
convention might well be termed an IN
dian Territory affair In results the con-
vention was barren. The statehood sen
t.ments ex P-essed In the resolution adopt
cd at oklahoma City last January were
reiterated. No constitutional convention
was called Instead Of gaining ground
the convention. as far as oklahoma IS
concerned. gave the impression that ad-
hererts OF the single statehood idea are
plsyine a losing game IN Oklahoma.
whatever may be said Of the Shawnee
convention IL denonst rated beyond a
doubt that the single statehood ieda IS
"a losing proposition in Oklahoma, and IN
less conditions change materially another
COW ention would Re such a signal failure
IS 20 cause ever the UoEt persistent ad-
vocate OF single statehood 10 lose faith
in the plan now reeonm ended by Demo
cratic politicians

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
Companion Attempted to Shoot at a

Faulkner. o. T., June 27.-Peter Minks
OF this city was accidentally shot at Stat
ford, Kan. In company with five com
panions he was on mis- way TO that place
TO work in the harvest fields a few miles
south of town. A companion on the rear
seat attempted to shoot at a jack rabbit.
The cylinder in the revolver stuck. He
tried to turn it with his finger and the
weapon was discharged. The ball entered
the base Of Mink's skull and lodged in
the brain. 1t was located by means of
the X-rays and found to be resting about
an inch below the skull. Minks has been
unconscious since the accident and there
seems to be no hope for his recovery.
