CONCERNING PUBLIC LAND.
Not Another Acre Should Be Sold for
Cash, Says WheIpIy.

Washington. Jan. 2.-Before the Asso-
Cation for the Advancement Of Science
today. in paper on the Sociological
! Aspects of the Irrigation Problem" Guy
T. Mitchell expressed the opinion that
the reclamation OF the arid lands OF
America through government construction
of irrigation works would furnish for
years to come an effective outlet for the
Industrious surplus population OF our
Sreat cities. The irrigation OF the 10o.oco,
eO1 acres OF plains and valleys. he said,
will tend to make small farms and homes
general rule throughout the entire
country.
Prof. f. B. Fernow. of the agricultural
department. discussing the timber outlook
in the United States. said that calcula-
tion OF the present stand of virgin tim
ber in the United States ready to supply
the demand for lumber showed the i'm
probability, If not impossibility. OF the
United States meeting the increasing de-
nand for lumber another thirty years.
under present method of utilization. Even
if the entire forest area of 540.yCo.0 600 acres
were supposedly still full stocked with
the average stand per acre. as reported
by the census in the holdings of lumber
hand would be exhausted within that
period Even under good forestry prac-
tice. the present increasing demand. he
said, could be supplied only for a limited
time.
In a paper on the economic value of the
remaining public land, j. D. Whelpley
said that not another acre of public land
should be sold for cash or its equivalent.
Residence and cultivation should be re-
quired before it could be obtained. and
this residence and cultivation should be
at least five years. so as to insure a per-
manent and not a speculative interest in
the holding. He sounded note of warn
ing against the free disposal OF the pub
lie lands.
Prof. Z. T. Galloway, chief of the bu-
reau of plant industry. said new orange
had been created in Florida. which bids
fair to build up new marmalade indus
try.
At today's meeting of the geological
society of the United States one of the
affiliated societies of the organization, a
number of addresses were made on the
subject of volcanoes in the West Indies
by those who were on the scene at Mont
Pelee Prof. T. C. Russell held that the
principal cause OF death during the erup-
tions of Mont Pelee and La Soufriere was
steam charged with dust. Mr.. Robert T..
Hill stated that the theory of gas hav-
ing proven the natural cause of death had
not been fully established and he thought
that until the matter had been studied
in detail it would be well TO withhold any
declaration as to what was the chief
cause of death.

Guthrie, o. T, Jan. 2.-Artie Daniels
the first speaker of the house in the
Oklahoma legislature, is dead. His death

Arthur Daniels was born at Galesburg,
Illinois, on October 81, 1850, and after re-

terward read law for two years, and was

'oANITARIUM
NOVA MODEL
INSTITUTION
Board of Physicians Makes a
Report TO Governor.
NO COMPLAINTS MADE
Inmates as Contented and
Happy as Possible.

Guthrie, Q. T, Jan. 2.-The board OF
alton of the conditions at the Sanitarium
have made the following report to the
governor:
Norman, o. T., Dec. 81 1902.
Hon. T. E. Ferguson, Governor, Guthrie,
O. T.:
Dear Sir-Your committee appointed to
e. anime the Oklahoma Sanitarium for the
insane at Norman, o. T., respectfully
ubmit the following report:
We have examined the institution care
fully and find marked Improvement in
sanitary and other conditions since our
last visit. In accordance with the rec
concentrations of this committee at its
last visit, cement floor has been laid in
the kitchen and bakery, which is vast
improvement of the very unsanitary con-
Gition previously existing.
The water supply has been increased
ard seems to be adequate for all pur-
poses We have heard no complaints of
insufficiency of food, or clothing, or of
i'll treatment: and the inmates seem as
contented as 1t is possible for people to
be who are separated from home and
friends The health of the inmates is re-
irarkably good. There has been very lit
lie sickness of any kind for several
months There has been a remarkable
decrease in the death rate during the last
six months. at least 50 per cent, and un-
dcubtedly due to improved sanitary and
dietary conditions. The attendants are
receiving better pay, and as result a
better class is employed and more salts
factory service rendered.
1t is our opinion, and also that of the
house physician. that several patients
could be safely paroled or discharged at
this time, with perfect safety. Recon-
Inendations have been made in these
cases.
We cannot see how the sanitary condi-
ton could we'll be improved, considering
the lay of the land on which the build
irgs stand. A good sewerage system
seems impossible.
There are now in the institution three
hundred and forty-one patients; of these
two hundred and fourteen are men. one
hundred and fifteen women, eight boys
and four girls under twelve years of age.
There are in the hospital wards under
treatment. four Jnen and three women
There is not a serious case of sickness
in the asylum, except the case of negro,
upon whom an operation has been per-
formed.
Your Instructions to this committee
were to investigate the Sanitarium thor
oughly. and report the exact condition
existing; this we have attempted to
do, in this and in previous examina-
tions, and we take pride in the fact
that so great a change for the better
has been brought about.
