WHO OWNS THE WHIsKEY?
Warehouse Certificates Said to Have
Been Put Up as Ball.

Enid. O. T. April 12.-The Eagle states
that Garfield county has twenty-five bar
rels OF whiskey. all it's own, stored in the
government warehouses at Lexington. Ky
That is the county hold warehouse re-
ceipts for that much booze.
TIE county owns twenty-four barrels
of eight year old mountain dew each
barrel having in it Al gallons. and is
worth in the neighborhood of $500 and
after the internal revenue is paid, will
net the county s1,l00 1t is not known
whether the stuff is rye or burbon.
The county got the booze in a little
trade with a couple of men who were
in the city a couple of weeks ago by the
name of T C. Farman and II. S. Farman.
father and son.
The pair hired a team of Thomas &
Havens the liverymen. and were in the
act of forgetting to bring it back. when
the sheriff went after them at Kingfisher
and brought them here under the charges
aforesaid
They were taken before Justice Feger
where they pleaded not guilty to the
charge of horse stealing. They had no
money nor friends in the city. looked
like fairly well-to-do people and the Of
ficers did not like to put them in jail. so
is was arranged that the county should
hold the warehouse receipts belonging to
a firm in Chicago. it is thought, as secur-
ity or bond in the sum of $3.50. The
preliminary was set for last Monday.
The prisoners didn't turn up. heIee the
change in ownership of the boozerine.
County Attorney Strugis is in Chicago
now on business and will probably visit
the proprietor of the wholesale liquor
house and make inquiry as to how the
affair will be settled.
Assistant County Attorney Hills con-
Quoted the territory's case In the just;
court and approved the bond. There is
some question as to whether the bond Will
hold. should the owners Of the liquor
make a fight. 1t is clearly the truth
that the company was not party to the
bond put up. and that the liquor was
not the property of the men who put IL
In the hands of the county.

appraise these lands at a fair value, ex-
elusive of all improvements. that is. as
unimproved vacant lands. This amount

upon each tract of land, not to be subject

land at this appraisement, receive deed
therefor. subject to this appraised lien.
which shall remain as a permanent In
cumbrance upon which the owner must

come due or forfeit the land.
BENEFITS OF THE PLAN
1st. This would secure Oklahoma an
immense school fund. greater than that
of any other state.
2nd. The fund would be entirely and
permanently invested with security un-
questioned.
Srd The interest payable annually or
semi-annually would provide an income
regular and sure scuficient in great
mesure to support all the schools in the
state.
4th The lands would be subject to tax
alton for local purposes.
5th The occupants of the land would
be owners instead OF lessees or tenants
and would feel that their homes were
their own and would feel a pride and Sc
curity in making improvements to CORES
pond with those Of their neighbors.
9Th. Any increase of value of lands by
improvements or otherwise would accrue
to the benefit of those who shared the
hardships and privations of the early set
tiers of our state
Should il be deemed desirable a small
per cent of this purchase price might pe

What we lesseees desire is permanency.

under our own vine and fig tree" priv:-
lege to make permanent improvements
without fear of increasing payments on
account of so doing.
This plan is submitted for the careful
of the thinking people Of
our territory, soon, we trust, TO become
a state, with the hope that We may avoid
the unAmerican tenant system. secure
school funds Of magnificent amount and
satisfy all who fear that by sale of the
lands We might be in danger of losing

II had the pleasure of attending an
unveiling ceremony of the leading Demo-
cratic club and thus was favored with an
opportunity TO talk with many of the
leading Democratic leaders of Gotham.
IL was rather surprising TO me to find out
how ignorant some educated men were
as to Okiahom City and Oklahoma. I
was favored with an Introduction to a
municipal judgei He greeted me cordially
and inquired how things were out my way.
and then he blandly inquired in what
state Oklahoma City was located. l no
tice, however. that most New Workers
regard the entire world as a suburb to
the metropolis and that all that is really
worth while radiates from that center.
what impressions did you receive re-
garding the Democratic presidential senti-
ment while in the knickerbockerville?"
inquired the reporter.
We'll, it was by no mems prevailing

the labor organizations and the smaller
business men, you will find the common

"Yes; I talked with several prominent
business men and financiers,' replied the
judge, and they all appeared to regard
the business outlook good in New York
and throughout the country. talked with
several wholesale men and. as in some
recent years, they look for a reasonably
strong business. Everything is all right
in New York this time in a business
way and there is nothing panicky in the
financial situation"
Judge Keaton, further discussing pol
itics. expressed the belief that Hearst
would receive the Democratic nomination
for president and would make a race that
would be astonishing in its strength and

Lien for Original Cost.
To the Editor of the Eagle:
There has been much written and print
ed during this statehood agitation in re-
gard to the school land of Oklahoma;
whether they shall be sold or retained by
the coming state and leased.
Permit a lessee OF said land, who has
studied this question in its various phases
to submit through the columns of the
Eagle plan for the consideration of the
thinking public.
know of no medium through which
better to reach the mass OF the people Of
this great territory.
In the first place those who object to
the sale of these lands generally give the
following reasons therefor:
First. Difficulty Of keeping the funds
derived from the sale OF these lands con-
tinuaIIy loaned and productive.
Second The danger of loss of some por-
tion Of this fund
Third Prospect of increase Of the
value Of these lands.
However the prospect OF this increase
from the present prices Of land is small.
These reasons are usually urged by
those who desire the future state to re-
tain possession Of these lands.
Those who object to the lease system
submit the following reasons why these
lands should be sold:
1st. Strong artipa;hy to the tenant sys-
TEN.
End Loss Of taxes on school land
3rd Failure to make improvements On
school lands as such improvements inva-
riahly increase .he rental Of the land This
lack Of Improvement is very noticeable
