OKLAHOMA AT FAIR.
People Expect Much Good from ST
Louis Exhibit,

Guthrie, o. T, March 1.-THE railroads
are claiming to be doing a good deal in
the way of advertising this territory ard
inducing new settlers to cast their lot
in this land of gentle zephyrs and sun
shine. They are doubtless doing much
good but the people here think that the
greatest advertising scheme for Oklaho-
ma will be the Oklahoma exhibition at the
Worlds Fair and they have not failed
to note that while the appropriation for
the exhibit is barely sufficient to bear
the expenses. that the railroads have re-
fused to give the secretary or any Of
the other members of the commission a
pass TO st. Louis. They have TO go down
in their pockets for the cash every time
they go to the Worlds Fair city and
Use some of the sixty thousand dollars
appropriated for the expenses of the ex-
hibit
While secretary OF the commission, F.
L. Wenner, who is also secretary of the
school land board. did all that was pos
sible for an over-worked man to do and
he deserves credit for what he did do,
the appointment of Edgar B Marchant
by Governor Ferguson to fill the vacancy
caused in the secretaryship of the COM
mission by the resignation of Mr.. Wen
ner furnishes another proof of the gov
ernor's wisdom in matters of interest to
the people of Oklahoma. Mr. Marchant
is putting new life in the movement to
make a showing at st. Louis that will
be credit to this great new and pro-
ductive country. His experience in the
h1lSin hoc n ~,
necessity Of bringing the busienss of the
commission before the people and keep
ing them interested in it.
c. A. McNabb superintendent Of the
Oklahoma. shipped a car load of agrcul-
tural and horticultural products of the
territory from Oklahoma City to St. Louis
Saturday. II would be we'll for people
to remember that no more of last years
crop can be used
From this time on the Office of Sup
erintendent McNabb will be in the Worlds
Fair building at ST Louis and persons
wishing to consult with him about this
years crop will address him at that place
Secretary Marchant said last night that
McNabb is an expert in his line and what
he did not know about the collection and
preservation of agricultural and horti-
cultural products the other fellows have
not found out
The commission is using the utmost
economy in the expenditure of the ap-
preparation so as to make It last, but
they are getting a good collection just
the same This makes il necessary for
every one on the commission TO do a good
deal Of hard work. There are numerous
applications for places on the commits
sion or in connection with it but the limit
ed allowance will not permit the COM
mission 70 employ very many helpers.

MORRIS ISSUES CIRCULAR.
Warns Live Stock Owners Against
Canuer of Ticks

Guthrie, Q. r., March 1.-THE follow
ing circular statement to the stockment of
the territory has been issued by Thos.
Morris, secretary OF the Oklahoma live
stock sanitary commission, and is Of in
terest in all parts of the territory.
During the past year, your premises
were found to bel infested with fever
ticks Cboophills annulatus), by inspectors
of this board, and as it is necessary Tor
the protection of your neighbors, as wei
as for your own benefit that this infec
ton be stamped out, your hearty cooper
alton IN this matter is earnestly desired
by this board as much more desirable re-
suits can be secured thereby. The law
makes it a misdeneanor to move infested
cattle within Oklahoma at any time of the
year. or cattle from an infected pasture,
except during a very limited portion of
the year and only under very strict regu-
lations, and provides a heavy penalty
for such movement, making ii absolutely
necessary that you Immediately rid your
premises Of this infection. The early
spring is almost the only time when this
work can be done in satisfactory man
ner, as at this season of the year most
of the ticks are on the ground in winter
quarters, and those still on the cattle are
easily destroyed Parties who have not
had their cattle released are urged to
disinfect them at once and notify this
Office, when an Inspector will be sent to
release them. As soon as possible burn
all grass and litter, or straw in your pas
ture, being especially careful to destroy
ell old grass and leaves or trash of any
kind in the timber and brush, as this
IS q favorite Matching place for the tick.
If this work can be done in a thorough
manner, all infection may be destroyed
In a number of cases. cattle have been re-
leased from quartined pastures but in no
case have the pastures been released, nor
viii they he released nor will cattl he al
lowed 10 be placed in them until this
board has satisfactory evidence that all
infection has been destroyed, which could
in no case be until July or August.
Whether your pasture shall be released
as that time or not depends largely upon
your action in the matter. IF we have
your hearty cooperation. the time Will
certainly be much shorter and the ex-
pense to yourself much lighter than if we
are required 10 do it through the sheriff
OF the county. As soon as the season
IS sufficiently advanced to allow this work
TO begin our inspectors will be directed
TO take personal charge of this work and
visit all quarantined pastures and where
parties have failed to comply with tsese
instructions. unless for good reasons. they
viii at once take charge of them and dis
infect them rs they may deem best at
the expense of the owners
Notify this offic of any steps you may
take toward disinfecting your premises.
''By order Of board.

You can say that the fruit crop has
not been injured by the frost It all
right
Some fear for the safety Of the peach
crop has been expressed here. for the
reason that the trees are blooming about
ten days earlier than usual. Il is now
believed that having passed this cold

crop OF peaches

Mr.. Turner states that Mr.. Cornish told

TROUBLE ABOUT SEWERS.
Affidavits Say Work Is Not Being Done
RiUht

Hobart, O. r, March 14.-These seems
to be trouble brewing in this city over
the building of the new sewer system.
Affidavits have been filed with the Off
cials five in number to the effect that
the sewerage system is not being put in
according to contract These affidavits
claim that in many instances broken and
inferior pipes have been used and other
material that was not adequate for the
purpose for which ii was intended.
One of these men claims that he knows
of five instances in which broken pipes
have been put in. He says that he called
the attention of one of the assistant sup
erintendents to this fact and asked him
whether he should use such material
He was told to go ahead and use it; that
they were using it every day and that the
inspectors were not there TO make them
any troubel about it.
.ther afhdavits make similar state
ments and all claim to have the places
where the broken pipe is used marked
SO that they can find them without any
trouble.
The city council will call on these men
and find out where the broken pipe has
been laid. and then send a force of men
there to dig it up and inspect it and see
for themselves whether or not there IS
any truth in these statements
The inspectors ought to be able to know
what has been done in the matter. and
it is a remarkable instance of neglect of
duty that they are not able to state
positively that the allegations are false
The people feel that they have too
much at stake to suffer this matter to
go on without making an investigation.
If it can be shown that the inspectors
have been away from tne:r post of duty
and not attending to busienss as they
should do. Others will be found who have
the time ard inclination to stay with
the pipe-laying crews while they are at
work

Guthrie, o. r. March I4-Several
parties who were here the past few days
from Norman report that the people of
that place are wonderfully worked up
over two criminal suits pending in the
court of Cleveland county. After read
ing the account of the case as given by
the Norman Transcript people will un-
derstand the interest manifested In the
case:
James Turner, son of M Turner. and
w. r. Cornish are now the defendants
in one of the most complicated coses
ever in the courts of Norman. As near
as can be ascertained the facts are as
follows:
d. Wade held a mortgage of some $500
on a team of gray mules belonging TO w.
r. Cornish. and on Saturday a week ago
gave notice to the latter that if the note
was not paid by the following Monday
the mortgage would be foreclosed. on
Monday morning of last week Mr. Cornish
was seen on the streets with a pair Of
brides and claimed that the mules had
gotten away the night before and he was
hunting for them. When Mr.. Wade heard
of this he began investigation and found
that someone had seen the team hitched
TO wagon going south about 10 O'Clock
