PLEASE GO WAY AND
l dreamed | dwelt in marble halls
And had a cellar full of gold,
dreamed that gladness filled my life
Because the weather got so cold
For then | realized of course,
That joyous Christmas time was here
| saw in fancy how dead broke
l was at just this time last year..
The dream went on loaded down
A wagon with simoleons,
And ruled the market place with airs
As grand as old Napoleon's;
l purchased everything in sight,
| bought gift for every one,
And then paid debt or so
And got my timepiece out of pawn.
l wandered all about the town
And scattered coin among the poor,
While all the people bowed and said,
"My, he's a wealthy man for sure!"
And then my dreamy pipe went out
| saw the thing was all bluff
I'm wrestling with the problem still
OF how I'll buy that Christmas stuff
OH!

Pleased With Oklahoma.

Bro. Spivey, of the Tribune,
has been enjoying a visit with an
old friend, Mr.. John +. Brown,
formerly of Kingston, Missouri,
but now located on one of
the fine claims in Chandler town
ship. The DEMOCRAT received a
pleasant call from these gentle
men this morning, and Mr.. Brown
informed us that he is we'll pleased
with Oklahoma in general, and
Caddo county in particular, and
has no desire to live in the north
again. He thinks the chances
are great deal better for a man
of moderate means, in Oklahoma
than in any of the older states,
and we thoroughly agree with
him. The capitalist can also fin6
a better investment here, than ir
almost in any state.

HOMER BIRD WAS HANGED.
During the Klondikc Rush OF 1907 lie
Killed Two Companions and Was
the First Murderer of the
Yukon Region.

Seattle, Wash, March "a
special to the Times from Sitka
says: Homer Bird was legally
executed here Friday.
On the gallows he made a short
speech without visible emotion in
which he protested his innocence.
The crime for which Bird was
executed was one which startled
the entire country and attracted
more attention from the fact that
it was the first murder reported
during the great Klondike rush of
189T-9S. Bird had started up
the Yukon river with two COM
panions. One day the two COM
panions were found missing.
When questioned, Bird stoutly
maintained that they had gone
off on a prospecting expedition.
A thorough investigation was
started with the result that the
bodies of the two men were found
riddled with buckshot. The mo-
tive for the crime has not yet
been discovered.
Bird was tried twice, and per-
sonal appeals urging clemency,
have been repeatedly made tc
the authorities at Washington
The case was carried to the SUI
preme court of the United States

Arbor Day Proclamation.

Gov. T. B.Ferguson has issued
his Arbor Day proclamation. Ar
Dor day is Friday, March 10, and
the proclamation is as follows:
"The planting of trees by the
present generation is TO erect
living and growing monuments
which record for those who shall
come after us our appreciation of
Natures magnifficence and beau
ty.
There is no more appropriate
legacy to leave TO posterity and
there are no better companions
for our declining years than those
living children of the forest and
roadside, that sometimes owe
their very existencv to our en-
deavor. Tree culture should be
fostered in our fair land Their
proper disposal will beautify our
homes, improve our highways
and public places.
1.-THE earth would be a desert
indeed were it not for the great
handiwork of Nature in dotting
its surface with beautiful, stately
forests. What man or woman
does not cherish n fond remem-
brance of shady boughs, both
shelter and companions in child
hoods happy hours?
"Where Natures supply is ex-
hausted let man follow her noble
precept, and plant trees which
shall gather strength and beau
ty as ages roll on, whose boughs
shall be caressed by the loyal
winds and kissed by the sunshine
of our glorious commonwealth for
numberless cycles in the future.
In accordance with Legislative
enactment, l, Thompson b. Fer
guson, governor of Oklahoma
Territory, do proclaim Friday,
March 13, 1903, as Arbor Day.
81 respectfully recommend that
the teachers and pupils of our
public schools devote some por-
ton of this day to its proper OBJ
seryance by the planting of trees
and to exercises appropriate
thereto.
"In testimony whereof have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the great seal of Oklahoma to bt
affixed, at Guthrie, this 9th day
of February, 1902.

Our friends in the country and
smaller towns will confer a great
favor on us by giving news items
to our regular correspondents in
their neighborhood. 1t will make
the paper more interesting, as a
good correspondence is almost the
same as small paper, to the
people of that locality.
Our farmer friends express
themselves as being very much
pleased with the weekly DEMO-
Graf. The correspondence from
different parts of the county, the
local news of the city, the inter-
esting extracts from our ex-
changes, including the large city
dailies, all combine to make this
paper a favorite with our sub
scribers.
In today's issue of the DEM
oCRAT will be found the prof
fessional card of DR.. O. d. Nc
Cray, recently of Kansas City, Mo.
who has located in our city.
DR.. McCray has had three years
practical experience and has
been very successful. We are
glad TO welcome DR.. McCray TO
our city, and bespeak for him an
extensive practice in this vicinity.

A Visitor from Montana.

Mr.. White Calfee, a brother to the
late w. a. Calfee, spent a day or
two in the city visiting relatives
and left this morning on a trip to
Mexico. This is Mr.. Calfee's first
trip to the South since 1863, having
that year moved from GAINESVILLE,
Texas, to Montana. He owns a
Large farm in one of the most fertile
valleys of the southern part OF that
state, and he speaks in glowing
terms of the country. Farming land
in his valley, he says, ranges in
price from $50 to $40 per acre, owing
to location and state of cultivation.
He says very little corn is raised in
that state, the principal products be-
ing wheat, oats, barley and Irish
potatoes. He says that for the past
few years the people have been
turning their attention to raising
small fruit. MIR. Calfee saws that all
kinds of small grain do well in that
state. Wheat yields from 50 to ~
bushels per acre, while oats and
barley yield from - to l2j bushels to
the acre. The crop OF oats Of m Of
his neighbOrs last year averaged
l37L bushels to the acre. He said
he had seen 800 bushels Irish pota-
toes gathered from II acre of land.
Mr.. Calfee says the climate of Mon
tana is ali that could be desired.
While the thermometer has regis
tered as low as 40 degrees below
zero in the winter he says the peo-
pie did not suffer to any great eX-
tent from cold. He says there has
been snow on the mountain in sight
Of mis- house ever since he located
there in l~GJ. Mr.. Calfee has seen
service with General Custer and it
is interesting to hear him tell of his
experience IN campaigns against
the Indians.
