The first of the week stranger ap-
peared in Pawhuska and was soon clos
eted with Chief Of Police Warren Bennett,
after which he took drive to the India N

Capital correspondent hunted the gentle

that the government has brought from
the Philippines large band of savage
Igorrotoes whose chief diet in their ma
tive land is dog flesh The government
authorities have been supplying these saw
ages with porterheuse steak and pork
chops. but they have revolted ard threat
en- to go on the war path unless supplied
with their fayorite dish. Having noticed
in last weeks Capital that there was a
surplus of dogs at Pawhuska Colonel
Antso was sent here to see if arrange
ments could not he made to secure
supplw for these Igorrotes. The authori-
ties here readily consented TO the colo
neis plan and the work OF catching the

RURAL DELIVERY ROUTES.
Delegate MCGUIRE Has Succeeded in
Securing Many New Ones.

Guthrie, O. T., May 24-During the past
thirty days an unprecedented record has
been made in the establishment of rural
free delivery routes in Oklahoma From
the 18th of April to May 18th Delegate
B. s. McGurie has succeeded in having
service inaugurated on forty-fye routes
in various parts of the territory. Never
has there been a time in the history of
the territory when the demand was so
great for rural service, nor has there ever
been such quick work in establishing
service
Four special agents working under the
direction of the chief of the rural delivery
division of the postoffice department. have
been in Oklahoma investigating applica-
tions and before leaving washington
Delegate Mcguire secured the promise of
department officials that the rural work
in Oklahoma will not be neglected.
1t is estimated that nearly FIVE thou
sand persons are served by the fcrty-ilve
routes and this means that farmers. who
-heretofore have been unable 10 obtain
their mail. only when they visited their
respective post Offices will be supplied
daily by carriers. II means also that the
the metropolitan papers delivered at
their doors thus giving them the advan-
tase Of reading the worlds news the
same day il is printed
Delegate Mcclure early n his official
career as delegate to congress realized
the Importance of rural service and has
insisted from time TO time that Oklahoma
be given the benefit of this service al the
earliest possible moment
The cities whore service starts and the
number Of carriers are as follows
