HOMESEEKERS
ARE COMING
TO THE FERTILE VALLEY OF WASH
ia ATTRACTED BY THE SPLEN-
DID OPPORTUNITIES
GOOD LANDS FOR EVERYBODY
Titles Getting in Good Shape. People
Are Hopeful

Awakened to the rapidly appro-
aching conditions of statehood, and
attracted by the great opportunit-
les that the change will bring in
the way of securing land titles in
the fertile and marvelously pro-
ductive Chickasaw nation of the
Indian Territory, and especially
that section known as the Washi-
ia Valley country, many home
seekers are leasing and buying
lands and putting in crops. More
land has been put in this year than
ever before in the history of the
Washita Valley. The reason for
this great influx Of people to the
Chickasaw, beginning this season
is found i'll the fact that the inter
married citizens can dispose of a
portion Of their holdings. Here
tofore nearly every holding has
been in the shape of lease from
Indians with implied purchase
privileges. These as called priv
ileges in many cases in the shape
of contracts, under the new con
ditions of things are worth no
more than the paper on which they
are written as the matter of sale is
now in such shape that the thirty
purchaser, regardless Of whether
he has a lease or not, can buy.
And a newcomer who has money
to buy with has just as good chance
to get hold of good piece of land
as any one who has been here for
the last twenty years leasing and
making crops.
Heretofore cotton and grass
have been the basis of money
making but the white settlers and
farmers who are beginning to come
i'll are planting potatoes, wheat,
corn and diversified crops. The
potato item will in another year

be an enormous money producer,
and while cotton continues to be a
staple article of production it is
yielding to crops that give greater
acreage returns and through-the-
season money. The cultivation Of
alfalfa is getting strong start and
the experience of orchardists near
this point and as far south as Davis
are stimulating great activity in
the line Of fruit farms.
On the other hand, or rather in
line with the wholesale develop
ment along the line of farm land
purchase and improvement the
towns Of the Chickasaw nation are
beginning to take on new life and
experience the sensation of sub
stantial Improvement and indus
trial development. Confidence in
the situation and an evident insight
into the coming conditions are
responsible for the location of new
firms in commercial and mercantile
lines and the entering of the field

WERE PLACED UNDER BOND
The Bad Boys Tried before Judge Payne
this Morning

Frank Quick, Will Popeioy and
Bert Evans, the boys arrested yes
terday on charge of burglary were
tried before Judge Payne this
morning. Quick was placed under
$500 bond and the other two under
$500 bond each to await the action
OF the grand jury.
Quick's name is familiar one
in court records. Although a
mere lad, he has been arrested
many times and is now under a
suspended penitentiary sentence.
This is the first appearance of the
other boys in court.
The boys were arrested near the
Frisco bridge by Marshall Madseu
yesterday morning upon complaint
Of Murphy andBrown, two Rock
Island section men in charge of
work train cars. These men had
seen the boys coming out Of their
cars Tuesday morning and had
afterwards missed various articles,
including two pairs of trousers, d
pair of shoes, watch chain and
locket, etc. When the boys were
arrested Popejoy at first denied all
knowledge Of the affair but later
admitted that he and the other
two boys had been in the cars and
had once spent night in them.
The boys had two punches of keys
which they threw away at the
time they were arrested. After
wards Popejoy showed the officers
where they had thrown chem.
Bert Evans said that he had
bought the trousers, which he was
charged with stealing, from Frank
Quick. The latter told the officers
that the articles were at the home
of Evans and on search, they we're
found.
A few feet from the place where
they arrested the young cuIprits,
the officers found two sticks of
dynamite and on the track was a
dynamite cap. The boys said that
they had taken these from the
Frisco Section house aud had tried
to use tnem in killing fish.

CRITICISING COTTOB REPORTS
Revised Estimate on Reduction Of Acre
age is Unsatisfactory

Washington, July 2S.-That a
situation which is intolerable exists
in the Bureau of Statistics Of the
Department of Agicultue became
apparent with today's exploit of
the statistical board in preparing a
new estimate on cotton acreage.
The Southern Cotton Assoocia-
tion, from reports furnished by
II 900 correspondents, made an
estimate early that the decrease in
acreage would be at least IS per
cent. The Bureau of Statistics is
sued its reports on June 3, making
the estimated decrease ia. Then
came the investigation of the
Southern Cotton Association,
which has raised as great an amount
of trouble as the postofice scandals
The figures which Messrs. Hyde
and Holmes mad at the time they
made the estimate OF a reduction Of
acreage of ia showed a reduction
of 1876 \
The Statistical Board decided to-
day that the decrease in acreage
was neither ia nor 1876, but a.
The board seems to have decided
that it would not do to put out the
old figures of Holmes and Hyde.
Nor was it willing to concede the
accuracy of the figures of the cot
ton association because that would
have been victory for Mr.. Cheat
ham. SO the board simply split
the difference between ia and
1876. 1t had no new canvass be-
fore it.
The mean between the two
estimates would have been exactly
IS, but in order to cover up its
simple method of guessing it is as
serted, the board made the estim-
ate 1919 and let it go at that.

MCINTOSH MADE A CAPTURE
OF Bad Negro Wanted in Alabama For
Murder

ElReno July 27:-J. J. Vinson, a
deputy sheriff, arrived in the
city yesterday afternoon and
positively identified a negro who
was in the city jail here as
Frank Daniels, who is wanted
for a murder charge, at Leighton,
Alabama. Daniels was arrested a
week ago by w. 0. Mcintosh, the
Rock Island detective, who had
seen a photograph and description
of the man wanted. Mr.. Mcintosh
corresponded with the Leighton
officers, and they were at once
convinced that the right man had
been arrested.
Citizens of Leighton had offered
reward of $50 for Daniels arrest,
and the state had offered $Ioo re-
ward. Officer Vinson deposited
the $3.50 in bank here, and it
will be paid to Mr.. Mcintosh as
soon as the negro is delivered to
the sheriff at Leighton, and it is
known absolutely that he is the
man who committed the murder.
Vinson also gave an order for
the $500 offered by the state Of
Alabama.

Letter to Peyton r.. Sandoz.
OPELOUSAS.

Dear Sir: Two years ago the
estate of the late Congressman
Scott, of Erie, Pa, painted "a
Rolling-Mill houses one coat
Devoe at saving of IL per cent
for paint Oead-and-oil was after
the job).
That's how the tale reads. We
infer what really happened.
The buyer, as usual, went by
the cost of paint; got bids. Lead
and-oil bid low and guessed the
quantity low; saving was only Ii
per cent.
Nobody seems to have thought
of this: the painting costs two or
three times as much as the paint.
How much did we save on the
painting? Don't know.
The tale ends with this: We
often refer inquirers to those
houses, for wear of Devoe.
That's a good-enough story; but
nobody knows what it is. Our
only difficulty is want of paint
intelligence.
Yours truly,

When men can view quarantine
regulations with the spirit of en-
tire disinterestedness, then, and
not until then will frictions and
jealousies cease. But when pre-
cautions are urged to protect a
community from infection, then
there is a cry of commercialism.
"No you DON'T" the other fellow
exclaims, "whlle we are protect
ing your doors as well as our own
you will open traffic with your
neighbors to our disadvantage.
Human nature needs a more plen-
tiful supply of generosity, charity

jealousy, envy, hatred and malice.
