WALNUT LOG CASE.
Points involved Afford Great Interest
to Territory Residents.

Guthrie, O. T., Feb. 10.-There has been
appealed 10 the Oklahoma supreme court
the case OF the territorial school land
leasing board vs.. ]. W. Cordray, an ap-
peal from the district court of Canadian
county. The case has always been one
of interest in the territory, on account
of the points involved.
Cordray was accused of illegally cutting
walnut logs from school lands near
Bridgeport in Cadda county. Nineteen
such logs, alleged to have been cut by
ritory when in the Rock Island yards at
FL Reno awaiting shipment to Germany.
These logs were condemned, confiscated
and FINELY sold by the territory. Cordray
was indicted, but never arrested, being
an alleged fugitive from justice. Action
was commenced by his attorney, Edgar
Jones, to replevin the logs and in the
district court of Canadian county Judge
Irwin held that the territory's title to
the lands was not sufficient to back up
the seizure of The logs, and he decided
in favor of the defendant. Cordray order
ing the territory to return the logs to
Cordray or pay him the value thereof,
S25i The territory, through the attor
ney general, now appeals from the decis-
ion of the lower court. Assistant Attor
ney General Woods has always attended
to this particular case for the territory.

Ferguson, Secretary Grimes and Auditor

From a Catholic institution in Gen.
tral Ohio comes the following recon-

of the committee. We were led TO be-
lieve from what he said. that the senu-
ment was almost unanimous in favor Of
making one state of the two territories.
and he expressed il as his private opin
ion that We would get single statehood
In 1906. As to whether congress would
pass d bill at this session. Senator Bev-
eridge would not commit himself. but
from all information that the members
OF the delegation could obtain from con-
versations with both senators and con-
gressmen, it gained the impression that
enabling act will be passed at this ses-
sion Of congress. and that act Will be
either the Robinson bin or the Quay bill,

SENATOR HAvENS
ON STATEHOOD
Chairman of Separate State
hood Committee Returns.
THINKS SUCCESS CERTAIN
Believes the Mcclure Bill
Will Be Reported.

Guthrie. o. T. Feb. 10-Senator H.
e Havens the chairman Of the separate
statehood committee, has returned to his
home in Enid from Washington, ID. G,
where he has been assisting Congress
man Mcclure in the fight for statehood
Il says:
The prospects are very encouraging

hood bin
What about Mr.. Quays bill and his
alleged change Of position?
Nh Cuay has made no change. He
has introduced two bills. one Of them
IS precisely the same u3 McGuire's-the
other IS single statehood bill. 1t is
very common for members Of congress
TO introduce bills. at the request Of out
elders, which do not represent their per-
sonal views Nj Quay did not prepare
the single statehood bill which he in
troduced. as any intelligent person would
know from reading IT, His position is
Just what it was when he introduced
the Mcclure bill, and at the proper time
he will be found giving that bill an ac-
tive support and doing good work for
Oklahoma. There is no occasion to worry
about Quay"
In reply TO further questions Col. Hav-
ems said:
Mcclure is working hard night and
day. To make votes for his bill. and
Is doing SO effectively He is becoming
popular with his associates, and already
ha.s a good influence. But Al is over
crowded with work And in that fact is
illustrated one Of the necessities IF state
hood. a territory has much more bust
ness in. the departments than an old
state; and yet Mcclure must attend to
the wants Of a constituency which in the
states would be represented by two SEN
ators and four representatives. In the
personal matters Of his constituency he is
doing the work of six men, and his let
ders range from fifty to one hundred per
day--all Of which. with the aid of his
secretary. he tries TO answer And some
times single letter may make several
hours Of investigation and inquiry in the
departments necessary. Still he is not
neSlecting the statehood matter and will
