IMMENSE STRAWBERRY CROP.
But Fruit Crop Will be Light-Not
Enough Peaches to Supply
the Demand.

The season is far enough advanced
TO form a pretty safe estimate Of the
fruit crop There will not be enough
peaches to supply the local demand
aaa some FOR shipment Apples are
promising a good crop Of certain lead
ing varieties. although the recent cold
weather has caused much of the fruit
to fall on. especially the Mammoth
Black Twig. Ben Davis, Gano, Jon
athan, Maiden Blush and White Win
ter Pearmain are holding on pretty
well Earlier in the season pears
promised an immense yield. bus lately
they too, hie falling OF. Yet enough
win be left on the trees for fine
crop. Cherries are all right and a
good crop win be harvested. Among
the plums the Burbank and Album
dance are loaded to the guards, while
come other varieties are not so prom
is.ng In the berry crop the black

territory.

people in the East would be afraid to
start west. When Oklahoma had no
laws at all and no officers the people
found means of restraining lawless-
ness and did it very promptly, too,
and that under the most proyoking and
troublesome conditions.
The strikers and strike breakers in
Chicago have at best only the ques-
ton Of a few cents in wages, over
which they are causing all this trou-
BILE. while here in Oklahoma they con-
tested for 100 acre farms and city
lots worth thousands OF dollars. There
is no disposition TO gain any credit
for Oklahoma out OF the misfortunes
or lawlessness Of Chicago. but we Of
Oklahoma can hardly RESTRAIN a feel
ing that If the people of Chicago are
considered capable Of self-government
and entitled to participate in state and
federal affairs. we ought not to be
denied that right by all the rules Of
justice and equity.
The riotous element only consti-
tutes a small element of the city of
Chicago, but it seems to pretty
completely dominate the situation If
Chicago values her fair lame she
should rise up and smash law-break-
ers from whatever side they come
The observance Of the law is a mat
ter that is too grave to be overlooked
No rebuke is intended for union labor
for the bloodshed and disorder are
as great calamities to them. and more
SO, than others Of that city, but
these disturbances should be repressed
with a firm hand and that without
federal or state interference except
as last resort.

before 1t a development the future Of
which no one ae present can properly
forecast.
After an exhaustive research and
survey Of the gypsum fields OF okla
homa Prof. Charles N. Gould came to
the conclusion that the gypsum beds
Of the territory contained at least 1885,
SO0.0OO.OOO tons. It is apparent then
that Oklahoma could supply the Uni
ted States six million tons per year
for over twenty thousand years, or
supply the world with twenty times
that amount for a thousand years.
Merely as a local building material
Il is valuable but with the close con.
nection and cheap freights to gulf
ports and the canal open and short
routes by water to all points. the gyp-
sum industry may easily take rank
as one Of the leading ones in the ter
ritory
So far as is known there are only
four gypsum mills at work in the
territory with varying capacities. but
about 100 tons each daily With the
advent Of cheap fuel and adequate
transportation, the mills viii rapidly
grow both in number and capacity

In exploiting the value OF the va
ried mineral resources Of Oklahoma,
one very valuable feature is quite
often overlooked and that Is it's prac-
tically inexhaustible deposits Of gyp-
sum. While the enormous deposits
forbid the thought that the value OF
gypcum In the bed could ever become
a high priced commodity, unless It
should fall into the hands OF a monop-
oily, yet il will serve as the founda-
tion for great industry and employ
large numbers Of men in mining it and
preparing It for its commercial uses.
The gypsum industry is as yet only
in its infancy. II has long been used
as wall finish under the name Of plas-
ter Of paris, but its widely extended
use in cements. plaster. potters and
for other purposes is growing with
great rapidity Indeed so varied are
the purposes to which it may be ap-
piled, that It is beginning TO take on
a value not heretofore thoroughly real

Of structural materials and there is
a world wide demand for it.
It Is estimated that about 100000
tons Of wall plaster are used in the
United States alone, Of which ,OOO, 600

only largely used in the cements and
cement plasters but Is so many ways

This explains why Peruna has be-
come so popular. It cures catarrh.
This is an amply sufficient reason why
it should become popular.
Cstarrh is almost universal. Catarrh
Is difficult to cure. The doctors do not
care to treat cases of catarrh at ali.
1t therefore follows that when a rem
edy is devised that can be used in the
home at a moderate cost, such a remedy
should inevitably become popular.
