lncomes Of Boyhood Days.

Titles OF nouu.f'uI Origin.

Continental titles save of the high
est sort have been viewed with sus-
picion in this country. but those of
England have been accepted with al
most as implicit faith as Bank OF
England notes inspire. Yet the her
AIDS college lately made the remark
able assertion that many persons are
using bogus titles in England II that
others are using titles to which they
have not established their claim and
probably could not bring any satisfac-
tory proofs. And the. editor OF Dod's
Peerage admits that there are between
fifty-six and sixty baronets whose
claims would not bear toe close scru-
tiny.
For example, an ambitious and re-
tired business man named Smith may
find in some secluded part of the
country some lands formerly owned
by some extinct family of Smiths who
had possessed a title. He buys the
property, quietly claims descent and
coolly assumes the title. In London
such a course would probably be ex-
posed, but in the country people are
less suspicious. Nor is such imposture,
it seems, contrary to English law. 1t
appears also that many Of the titles
which enjoy long standing were as.
sumed in some such way, perhaps cen,
turtles ago, and owe whatever validity
they have to long use. A general scru-
tiny of English titles might be a very
painful thlng.-Springfield Ciass) Re

Immigrants are descending upon the ter
ritory in a great flood, and its resources
are being developed at an amazing rate.
The territory is declared by some au-
thorities to be the richest section Of the
Union. Its soil is so fertile and climatic
conditions so varied that crops varying
all the way from cotton to wheat can
be raised within it's borders.
There are mineral deposits that have
hardly been touched, but are already
yielding great wealth. This is true par
ticularly of the coal and oil lands. The
Indians, as a rule, are intelligent, as the
result of excellent schools scattered
through the territory. They are engaged
in farming and mercantile pursuits. A
man getting a letter from one of these
Indian chiefs is liable to find that it is
typewriter and has been dictated to a
stenographer.
In point of territory the new State Of
Arizona will comprise 235,000 and Okla
homa 7O.430 square miles.
Their Railroad Facilities.
Every county in Oklahoma has some
railroad mileage and several cities have
from three to eight lines. The assessed
~"luation of the railroad property W.
ceeds Sll,OOO,OOO. Flour mills in the
territory have a capacity of 1865 bar
rels per day. The capacity of the wheat
elevators is 3,525. 900. Returns made by
the assessors this year place the taxable
property in the territory at $90,609, 073,
but Gov. Ferguson estimates that the
true value exceeds $500, 600. 900.
Deposits in the national banks of Ari-
o II exceed $5,0O0,000. The copper pro-
duction last year was 100000, 900 pounds.
The territory is rich in agriculture as
well as mining and irrigation will soon
add by many thousands to the acres of
tillable lands.
New Mexico shipped last year 100000
head of cattle and 5000 900 pounds of
wool. 1t is traversed by three transcon-
tinental railroads. The territory is rich
in coal. iron and lumber, as we'll as the

PROPOSED NEW STATES.
Okfahoma, Indian Territory, New
Mexico and Arizona Seek Admission.

Okfahoma, Indian Territory, New
Mexico and Arizona Seek Admission.
With the admission of Oklahoma and
Arizona to statehood, it is probable that
the story of their population, wealth and
resources will come as a great surprise
to the general run of Americans. The
story will surely be told, because the
granting Of State rights to the last of
continental America, barring Alaska, is
bound to attract widespread attention.
Usually territories nave been admitted
when they approached the dignity of ex-
listing States in population. In thee ase
of Nevada, Congress did not even wait
until statehood size had been very seri-
ously approached. The four territories
that seek to be admitted as two States
seem to have been kept waiting until
long after the time when they were quail
flied for the honor. Unbiased men in
Congress admit that the new State of
Oklahoma will have n population OF
100000. Some of the more enthusiasts
tic advocates of the new State that is
to be declare that its population will be
nearer 100000. For Arizona it is
claimed that the population will be be-
tween 500. 900 and 100000.
High Rank in Resources.
In railroads, banks, business and re-
sources Oklahoma and Arizona will take
high rank among the States.
In the Indian territory there are only
about 10000 Indians and more than 400,-
600 white men. About two-fifths of the
latter are from the south. There is less
illiteracy than in many Of the States.
The Miller sun. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 190?-19??, 1905-01-18

finally utilized for irrigation the area
under cultivation will exceed 20. o 900
acres. The territory produces over 1.5OO,-
600 tons of coal per year and a lumber
plant capitalized at $4,000. 600 has been
established at Albuquerque.
Will Change the Flag.
The admission Of Arizona and Okla
homa will cause a change in the [ mted
States flag by the insertion of two new
stars. There are now forty-6ve stars
arranged in six rows of seven and eight
stars, alternately. The two stars cannot
be added to the present arrangement
without destroying the symmetry. But
there Is no arbitrary rule for arrange
ment in rows. Circles and even star ar
rangenient of the stars have been resort
ed to in the past.

With only few exceptions amongst

ry forces to get control on that property,
the preferred advancing IL points, the
common a point and the Debenture B
bonds 15k points. There were gains of
point by Great Northern preferred and
Minneapo St. Paul and Sault Ste Marie
preferred. Missouri Pacific rose large
fraction.
The demand for stocks subsidized to
smaller proportions, allowing prices to
drop under smaller offerings. Many stocks
got slightly under last nights close. Spe-
cial movements were advanced in U. S.
Rubber OF 3K points, the preferred 2 points
and Hide and Leather preferred III points.
Great Northern preferred lost point.
Bonds were steady.
Little encouragement to the advance in

LAWRENCE MUST PAY 1T.
superintendent Dayhom Says $1O0, 600
Bonds Are just Obligation.

State Superintendent I. L. Dayhoff
says that the city of Lawrence is liza BILE
for the 100000 bond issue, about which
there has been so much dispute, and
that the only thing for the attorney
general to do is to go ahead and prose-
cute the suit which has been COM
menced for the collection of the bonds
1T is absurd said Mr.. Dayhoff, for
Lawrence to claim that the bonds are
not valid claim upon it. This matter
has all been thrashed out by the attor-
neys, and there is not the slightest ques-
ton that Lawrence can be forced to
pay every dollar of the principal of those
bonds, and accumulated interest, which
think now amounts to about $35, 000
This claim that the legislature par
doned the debt when Lawrence had
paid interest to the face value of the
bonds is absolutely worthless. 1t is true
that the legislature attempted to do
this thing, but such IAN act was as far
beyond its power as it would be beyond
the power Of any individual to pardon
the obligation. The constitution of the
state provides that the state school fund
shall never be increased or diminished.
This $1,000 in bonds was purchased by
the school fund. The fact that interest
was paid up to the amount of the prin-
cipal does not help the school fund any.
The interest receipts are distributed as
fast as they come in. The payment of
Che bonds is necessary to keep the
school fund intact, as provided by the
constitution.
This much is sure: somebody will
have 10 pay those bonds. It has been
suggested that inasmucf as Lawrence
has paid interest aggregating the face
of the bonds that the legislature simply
appropriate 100000 and place it in the

ment of the Lawrence bonds. That
would fix the school fund all right and
l don't know but what I would be in
favor of such plan. I believe it
would be fair solution of the trouble.
But there's no use in Lawrence get
ting excited and saying that the bonds
are not a valid debt, as things stand
now, for the courts will so hold if it
ever comes up to them to decide"
While Clad Hamilton was assistant
attorney general he made an investiga-
ton of the Lawrence bond proposition,
and came to the conclusion that the
bonds are valid claim against Law
renee. Upon the result of this investi-
cation, the suit was commenced in the
Douglas county district court, where it
is still pending.
