Charles III. was wont in his humor-
GUS way to say of his chaplain. Dr.
Barrow, that "he was the most unfair
preacher in England because he ex-
hausted every subject and left no room
for others to come after him." 1t was
indeed too much the doctors way.
When he got hold of topic he never
knew how to leave anything unsaid
about 1t. One Of his best discourses.

Cordell, Okla, Sept. 10, 1904
Although l have been reader OF the
News for over year have seen moth
ing from this part of Oklahoma,
The word Oklahoma is OF Indian ori-
gin and means beautiful land" which |
it is with its different colored soils and !
almost tropical vegetation.
The surface is rolling in some portions
rising to low hills. 1t is watered by
many streams, which find their way
through canyons. These miniature
streams are fringed with timber, and
the praires arc covered with many
hued flowers giving the country the APP
pearauce of a vast park.
Washita County is in the southwest
ern part of the Territory. 1t is forty
two miles long, and twenty-four wide.
The Washita River runs diagonally
across it from northwest to south east.
The soil is a loose sand, or tight"
black land as it is called, both produc-
ing we'll cotton, Indian corn, Kafhr
corn. Milo maize, and all kinds Of vege-
tables, and some fruit. The latter pro-
duced cotton, hay, wheat and corn In
adjoining fields. AS yet fruit is not
success in Washita county.
Many of the people are from Texas
and Kansas
There are several colonies of Russian
Menonites. They are here because OF
religious prosecutions in the mother
country. They are quiet Industrious
citizens. They have prayed for the
success Of the Japs, many believing the
Russians are being punished for their
past oppression.
There are many Indians known as the
Blanket tribes. Their allotments con-
sisting of 100 acres each is the best land

are used for feed and implements while

MANY DEFENDERS
 ARE DESERVING
GARRISON AT PORT ARTHUR IS
 MAKING STRONG RESISTANCE IN ANTICIPATION OF THE COM. ING OF THE PACIFIC SQUADRON

London, November 24-A dispatch from Toxio to the Standard reports increasing assertions from the Port Arthur garrison into the Japanese lines, the stories of desertion indicating the demoralizatlon of the Russian defenders. The same cor respondent says the Russian defences on the sea front of Port Arthur, no longer fire on the approach of the Japanee war ships.
 A Japanese correspondent writing to the Morning Post, betrays growing anxiety concerning the Russian second Pacific squadron to the approach of which is probably due the strength of Port Ar thurs resisting power."
 He points out the inconsistency of Egypt in permitting Vice Admiral Rojest- vensky's saips to coal when not going to a Russian port compared with the re- fusal of such facilities when the Spanish Admiral Camara wanted to take the bat tleship Pelayo by the Suez route six years ago, and maintains 1t is Great Britain's business to compel Egypt to maintain neutrality in the present case.
 The Daily Telegraph's correspondent at Port Said says the Russian warships. when berthed, will be completely isolated from other shipping, and that they will be allowed to take on water and provis- ions, but the correspondents adds that 1t is still uncertain whether they will be permitted to coal, the authorities seem- ingly being undecided on that point.
 Copenhagen telegrams report that the supplementary detachment of the Rus sian second Pacific squadron is still de- tained at Skagen by storms.
