IT WILL PASS
Chickasha Delegates Return
From Washington With
Encouraging News
COMPROMISE PROBABLE
Agreement Likely to be Reached
to Give Oklahoma
Statehood.

Alger Melton and Frank Bailey
Chickashas delegates to Wash
ington, returned this morning.
They bring encouraging news
relative to their mission on the
court location and also as to the
statehood situation, Both think
that the prospect for the passage
of the statehood bill is much bet
ter than it was a week ago and
they look for favorable action.
Both agree that their is no
hope for the passage Of the omni-
bus bill in its present form but
the indications are that COM
promise will be reached whereby
Oklahoma and Indian Territory
will come in as one state. Mr..
Melton Things the compromise
will include the admission of
New Mexico while Mr., Bailey is
Of the opinion that both New
Mexico and Arizona will be left
out
AS the situation now exists, the
democrats together with the.
western republicans and a few
eastern republican senators are
ready is vote for the admission
of Oklahoma il the New Mexico
Arizona feature ofthe bill is elm
mated or even if Arizona is left
out, while the majority of the
republicans are standing out for
the omnibus bill. 1t is admit
tedly largely a question Of East
against the West, the eastern
senators being opposed to any
thing looking to a larger western
representation in the senate.
Both Mr.. Bailey and Mr.. Melton
state that no opposition to the
admission of Oklahoma and In
dian Territory exists.
The democrats are demanding
that no restrictions be placed
upon the new state, relative to
sufirage, schools, prohibition,
capital location or anything else.
They maintain that it is the pre-
rogative Of the states to regulate
these matters for themselves.
A letter was received from
Geo. w. Barefoot this morning
in which he says, I'VE are sure
to get statehood. | am willing
to risk my reputation as guess
er on this. | have watched mat
ters closely since coming to
Washington and all indications
point to the admission of Okla
homa and Indian Territory.
Mr.. Melton stated that Mr..
Barefoot was great assistance
to the delegation and was work
ing hard for Chickasha.
Before leaving Washington
M.essrs Bailey and Melton made
a call on Senator Bailey to bid
him good bye and on leaving, the
Senator remarked to them,
"You are nearer statehood than
you think. +"

young man Of excellent habits.
His brother, Clyde Gwin, receiv-
ed a letter from him Tuesday
evening enclosing assignment to
his brother and father of his
property at Hayti worth $1,000.
This letter was mailed in st. Louis
and the property was at once
turned over to the bank. An

ing $4,000 will be lost to the bank.
Gwin's mother was Frustrated by
the shock of her sons action and
is at the point of death. Gwin
wrote two letters and left them
where parties to whom addressed
would get them. One was to Mr..
Doris, the president of the bank
and was as follows: "All notes
will check up and balance with
daily statement. Our accounts
with the Third National Bank
will balance with daily statement
on November 18th, 1905. All de-
posite accounts are correct on
same date. You will find MOTH

be short SIT, 7,021.00. l am giving
you these facts SO your stock
holders will not get your balance

other letter was to Mr.. Franklin,
of the trust company, and was in
a rather sarcastic vein, running
about as follows: "You had
better come down and take charge
of your bank. 1t is SIT 900 short
and will need you. You gave
me some talk when you were
here last. l did the best I could.
There are so many banks in the

Making Loamy Soils.
Weekly Agricultural Letter.

In addition to the maintenance
of the supply Of nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash, it is OF
the utmost Importance that the
soil be kept in the best possible
mechanical condition. This
means that the supply of vegeta-
BILE matter shall not be allowed to
become exhausted. This vege-
table matter is absolutely essen
tial to productive and profitable
soil. 1t gives lightness, loose
ness and friableness to the soil
and enables it to resist drouth.
Lands that have been cultivated
for a long time have their vege-
table matter burned out and are
clammy, cold, soggy, run togeth-
er after a rain, bake readily and
are usually sour.
Soils that already have their
supply of vegetable matter very
much depleted may be renovated

Besides, the weeds do not draw

1t is a matter of the highest
Importance that all vegetable
matter produced on the farm be
returned to the soil instead of be-

of two witnesses. The statute
requires these witnesses to be
reputable and in this case the
state inquired into their charac-
ter and it was found that one was
insane and the other a disreputa-

Judge Riley refused to grant the
change. The supreme court said
this was error, that the trial

was nothing left for him to do
but grant the change.

when, as is frequently the case (and as in
fact occurred in this nstance) in deter
mining the supposed tenants or other oc-
cupants who should be made defendants,
the husbands or heads of families are
alone included and no regard paid to the
married women or others, any Of whom
may in fact own the property in fee and
be in actual possession. Such a decree
is also void as against one whom the ex-
amlner finds should be made a party and
who Is not specially and by name made
such. And If a person is proceeded
against as a nonresident and as such
served by publication, when in fact he
is known resident and should be served
personally, the court would appear to be
without jurisdiction, and the decree and
resulting registration invalid as to the
applicant or any person other than an
innocent purchaser for value. And the
same would seem to be true as respects
any known party proceeded against not
by name but as a party unknown. And
after 4 registration in all respects regular,
a loss may ensue through forged deed
or mortgage, and the party sustaining the
loss have no redress whatever against
either the land or the assurance fund.
Gibbs VS.. Messer, q A. NJ. J.. r. So also
reported in 81 Central Law Journal D. oSs.
Such infirmities In a registered title can
not be obviated until forgery, perjury and
fraud become obsolete or our constitution
be so amended that ones property may be
appropriated by another without due
process of law.
1t does not follow. however, that the
Torrens system is therefore Intellectual
| or its usefulness destroyed. As 10 lands
not bought within its provisions, a pur-
| chaser relies upon the records and an
examination of the same by a competent
expert. He is not, and cannot be- pro-
tected against forged deeds and instru-
| ments appearing in the chain of title.
Under the Torrens system the records are
| examined by an attorney designated by
| the court and styled an examiner: such
parties are brought in as the applicant
and the examiner designate; and the
court, after hearing, If the evidence he
! sufficient, adjudges that the applicant Is
| the owner in fee, subject to such liens
| and encumbranceS as the decree discloses.
Such an examination and decree, If the
| applicant proceeds in good faith should
| give much greater assurance than a mere
| examination Of the records And under
| this system q purchaser may. II he so
desires, secure the opinion Of an attorney
| of his own selection as to all the records,
including those upon which the decree Of
regstra is based and subsequent con-
veyances which the law requires to he on
file with the registrar. But parties must
still take their chances. The title NAV
| prove invalid because of the failure OF
! the court to acquire jurisdiction. This is
| true as to an innocent purchaser. whom
| the law would protect il it could; and is
still more true. and should not he other
| wise, as to parties who undertake to Sc
cure registration by methods such as those
disclosed by the record in this case.
