RESULT WAS
The REVERSE
Inspector Sent Out to lnVeSti-
gate Compliments.
SALARY WAS ADVANCED
Government Was Pleased with
Showing Made.

Guthrie. O. T., Feb. "A report has
been made by an inspector of the land Of
flee at Washington on the charges of
Delegate Mcclure of Oklahoma against
Edwin F. Mor1issey, superintendent of
the Wichita forest reserve in Oklahoma,
generating him of any neglect OF duty
in managing the reserve or permitting
parties to enter same to get possession
of valuable timber lands under the pre-
text of prospecting for gold.
The report quoted above is the one
going the rounds of the press. The more
detailed facts connected with the case
are that the inspection referred to was
made by two government inspectors, Ak
line and Charlton. the latter having been
in the employ of the government for a
long term of years. Charlton's report
was most favorable TO Morrissey, stating
that with the single exception of res
ervation in Utah, Morrissey's was the
best kept of any in the United States.
The result of the investigation was ex-
actly the reverse of what was to be
looked for from the fact that charges
were filed; for, instead of taking the posi-
ton from Mr. Morrissey, the government

sistant at $50 per month.
From what can be learned, the cattle
men in the vicinity of the Wichita res
ervation are the only ones who are not
friends of the forest keeper. The hum
dreds of mining prospectors on the reser-
walton not only refrain from cutting any
timber or committing any depreciation,
but come to the assistance of the keeper
nj fighting fires and do everything to aid
him in enforcing the law. The enmity of
the cattlemen, it is claimed, was gained
from the strict enforcement of the for
est law against allowing more than nine
ty head of cattle to enter the reserve.
1t is presumed the charges We're at the
instigaton of the cattlemen. The Wichita
reserve is fifty-four miles long and
twelve miles wide-a good part of which
is mountainous.

A PLEASANT SURPRISE.
In store for Those Who Doubt,

When YOU read that a sufferer of many
years standing has been completely re-
stored TO health by using Smiths Cure

impossible for anyone 10 believe it; if
the advertiser confined his claims to the

tors of Pyramid Pile Cure. readers would
have much more faith in the published

great remedy know that testimonials as

FAITH IN WOODWARD.
Cross into Woodward County and See
Daisies in Bloom.

Guthrie o. T., Feb. 2-Win f. Bolton,
president of the Oklahoma live stock san
itary board. who was in the city yester-
day attending a meeting of the board,
said that rain was needed badly in Wood
ward county, as none had been received
since last fall. When you are having
your good rain a short time ago, Wood
ward was enjoying blue skies and summer
weather We have seen neither Snow
nor rain this winter Wheat has not
been hurt much at the present time but
good rains must come soon."
Woodward county has been settled rap
idly during thel asst year. and practically
all of the vacant public land of any value
has been taken up. Mr.. Bolton says that
poor crops the coming year would dis
courage many Of the new comers so that
many of them might leave. Mr.. Bolton
has faith in Woodward county and be-
lieves that il has some of oklahoma s
best land, but believes that for a few
years, good crops are necessary to the
proper development of the country.
Mr.. Bolton says that at the present
time Woodward is enjoying perpetual
summer and that If the author of the
Good Old Summer Time" wants TO live
in paradise he had better move to Wood
ward. The people have been going
around in their shirt sleeves and that.
only one day have we had any winter
weather Take a line from Guthrie north
west and in every county until you come
in Woodward cold clustering winter days
have been experienced but as soon as you

petual summer suits us. If they will only

MORE OR LESS JEALOUSY.
Usage Indians Have Had Something of
Disagreement.

Guthrie, Q. T, Feb "A Washington
dispatch says the Usage Indians who
came to Washington last week have had
q split-up among themselves. There is
more or less jealousy among them as to
who shall officially represent the tribe IN
the negotiations with the interior depart
ment and Chief Big Heart has addressed
a letter to Mr. Jones. commissioner of
Indian affairs inquiring I'm regard TO the
matter Of precedence and standing. There
are eighteen In the delegation which came
on here from the Usage reservation in Ok
lahoma. headed by Chief Jim Big Heart
and eight others are accredited represen-
tatives from the tribal council. Mr.. Jones
saws that he will hear all of those who
have come in the delegation, though,
when il comes to accepting signatures TO
a document or any official business ne
will recognize only the chief and the
members Of the council appointed by
convention Of the tribe 10 come mere.
The mission Of the Indians. as has be
q. fore been stated. is to secure distribu-
ton Of their trust fund, amounting to
SS.500.0oo held by Uncle Sam in trust for
the tribe and drawing > per cent per
annum interest, as well as an allotment
of their lands, which would mean about
100 acres per capita, including men, wo-
men and children of the tribe.
1t appears that when the delegation
was about 10 leave oklahoma territory,
several Of the mixed blood Osages de-
sired to come along. The full bolods
represent about two-thirds Of the tribe,
and they had agreed upon the proposition
which Chief Big Heart was TO present in
a memorial calling for a distribution as
stated The mixed bloods wanted to send
two observers" and the regularly ap-
pointed delegates finally agreed to allow
two of them TO come along. Then others
came This resulted in difference of
opinion after The delegation of eighteen
arrived in Washington. Chief Big Heart
and Agent Aiitcher have called on Mr..
Jones several times since their arrival,

SOUTH CANADIAN RIVER.
University Students Under Prof. Gould
Are Making a Special Study.

Norman. o. T., Feb. 1.-The university
students under the direction of Prof.
Gould are conducting for the L. S. Geo
logical survey an investigation of the
South Canadian river its sand beds and
the causes of its sudden rises.
The South Canadian or main Canadian
river is subject to very sudden rises and
its bed is the most treacherous of any in
the territory. At only one place has a
solid foundation been found after sound
ing the river bed at any depth. 1T Lex
ington, where a bridge three-fourths of
mile spans the river, the river bed was
sounded to depth Of 96 feet and no rock
or gravel was found. At almost any place
quicksand is found and where it does not
occur today it may be found on the NOR
row.
Relative to this work now under way,
Prof. Gould said: "Chas T. Kirk, stu
dent making geology his special study,
spent several days last week in the field
for this purpose and also collecting fossils
in the ChiCkasaw nation. Mr. Kirk Is
now working in the Indian Territory,
studying the lower course of the South
Canadian Mr.. Kirk has been at this
work conducting an investigation along
the stream preparatory to writing a grad
uating thesis on this subject Last sum
mer, it Will he remembered, Mr.. Kirk
with our geological party, traversed the
stream from its headwaters in the Rocky
mountains through New Mexico. across
the Panhandle of Texas and through Ok
lahoma. At the present time he IS work
ing out the lower course of the river.
"One of the things being investigated
is the cause of the sudden rises Of the
Canadian and also the matter of its quick
sand. The irrigation problem is also be
ing studied. 1t is hoped that the result
of Mr.. Kinks Investigations in this work
will be published by the government for

DOYLE MADE A SPEECH

washington, Feb statehood for Ok
lahorna was argued for today before the
house committee on territories by Col.
II. E. Havens Of Enid, O. I. He argued
along the line of the Mcclure bill, urg-
ing that measure.
Yesterday the committee hearing was re-
sumed with Thomas Doyle. Of Perry, as
the speaker Mr.. Doyle held the atten-
ton of the committee for two hours when
q recess was taken. In the afternoon, he
concluded his remarks in favor of single
statehood. and Judge Chester Howe, tor-
nerly of Oklahoma Territory, was per-
rnitted to take the floor and express his
views on statehood It was at first ex-
pected that Captain John n. Palmer, of
Pawhuska. a prominent lawyer of the
Usage nation. who has just reached
Washington, would address the commit
tee, but, at his request, he will be heard
another day this week.
Mr. Doyle took for his subject the Nc
CURE state hoodbill, TO which he gave
particular attention in his former re-
marks. He again pointed out its many
defects as regards the creation of seven

argued that this section totally ignored
county lines. much to the injury of the
people.
During the argument Delegate Mcclure
asserted that If two-thirds OF the people
of Oklahoma were not for the admission
Of Oklahoma into the union alone, he
would forever cease advocating a meas
ure that had for its object such a propo-
sition.
Judge Howe's talk dealt chiefly with
figures, in which he compared the taxable
property of the sister territories. He
showed that. out of a total of 100000
acres of land. in Oklahoma, only little
over 4, COZ, 900 acres were now on the tax
list. and while the lands of the Indian
territory were exempt from taxation at
present he reviewed the wonderful min
eraI resources of that country, which.
he pointed out, Of taxed, would alone
yield sufficient revenue to run state
