Machine Lays Brick.

A report has reached this city that
P. II. Loud, of Williston, S. c., has
invented machine that will revolu.
tionize the art of building, in addition
to cheapening the cost of construction
and the time necessary for the erection
of brick structures.
The machine in question lays brick.
1t is claimed by those who have seen
the machine that it will lay brick with
all the skill of the most accomplished
bricklayer, with perfect accuracy, and
with a rapidity that discounts the hu-
man hands. The report is to the effect
that with two three men operating the
machine, supplying it with bricks and
mortar, it will do the work of dozen
bricklayers in the course of day, car
rying up wall as if by magic.
1t is further claimed that the ma
chine can be easily and quickly regu-
lated so as to skip wherever it is desir-
ed to leave doors and windows, doing
this work with seeming human intelli.
gence. 1t is also said that the machine
is not complicated, will not easily get
out of order, and is in every way a
practical and useful invention, sure to
come into general use by contractors.
Mr.. Loud is in correspondence with
local contractors in reference to the
machine he has invented, and it is
probable that at an early date it will
be given practical test on some large
contract in this city.-Augusta (Ga.

the information that they were
actually one concern was presented
to the council last night it prompt

take the action noted. While the
companies were practically one the
citizens and business men have

phones and the action of the coun-

Providing for Constitutional Conven-
ton. Col. Roy Hoffman Gives
Out An Interview.
IT SHOULD Be ADOPTED
Oklahoma and Indian Territory Should
Not Wait on Congress.

Col. Roy Hoffman, of Chandler,
while in Guthrie a few days ago
| gave out this following interview
relative to the, bill introduced in
the Oklahoma legislature by Sena-
tor Menefee. The bill provides
for constitutional convention to
be held in the event of the failure
to pass the statehood bill:
"There is no doubt in my mind !"
said Colonel Hoffman, "that such
action on the part of the assembly
would result in statehood. Congress
would never turn down a constitu-
tion and state organization had
under the terms of the Menefee
biz The position of congress is
known to be in favoa of making
one state of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory and the fitness of these
territories for immediate statehood
is recognized in both honses of
the congress.
THE support that the Menefee
bill ha. in the Indian TerBitory is
evidenced by the continued resolu-
tions in large numbea Of the
towns there endorsing the bill and
asking that it be passed. The
Indian Territory needs to be bolst-
led lNy some legislation on the part
|of Oklahoma. If the statehood
bill does not pass it is probable
that congress will restore the ori-
ginal boundaries and extend the
laws of Oklahoma over Indian
Territory This should be done.
But if it is not done the consti-
tutioual convention suggested viii
have that effect later.
II believe that the Menefee bill
should receive the support of all
friends of statehood in the assembly
if the bill does not become a law
before the expiration of the present
session of congress. It is a sure
way to secure statehood and it is
fair alike to all parties and all
sections.
TUE situation is now favorable
to this independent action on the
part of the people of the proposed
state. They will make serious
mistake if they no not act after it
has become known that no legisla-
tion can be had at the hands of
congress this term"
Senator Menefee stated lastnight
that he is in constant receipt of tel
egrams from the people and cities
of the Indian Territory asking that
the bill be passed and the constitu-
tioual convention be held.

Opening OF the Big Kiowa and comanche
Pastures. says Personal Gain the
Motive.
BILL LIKELY WILL Be KILLED,
Senate Has Stormy Time with Indian
Appropriation Bill.

Washington, Feb. 23-Because
Senator Platt of Connecticut sus-
pected that this paragraph inserted
in the Indian appropriation bill:
THAT no army officer shall be
appointed Indian agent, was aimed
at Colonei Randlett cs Anadarko,
the senate struck it from the bill
today. Nobody seemed to know
exactly whv this paragraph had
been incorporated in the bill.
Senator Plat thought it might be
aimed at Colonel Randlet who had
acquired numerous enemies in his
long career as agent for the Kiowas
and Comanches.
All sorts Of people have tried
in vain to get the scalp of this old
army officer, who is the foe of
grafters and the particular friend
of nobody except the Indians.
Senator Platt added that he sus-
pected the purpose of the amend
ment was to sidetrack Colonel
Randlett and pave the way for the
opening Of the $4,000 acre $ of
pasture lands in Oklahoma set
apart for the Kiowas and Conan
ches.
Senator Platt went briefly into
history Of this large pasture
stating that almost before the
treaty setting aside the tract had
gotten cold letters began to pour
into Washington demanding that
the land be thrown open. He said
that similar demands has been
frequently made ever since, in spite
Of the fact that the lands have been
set aside for the Indians with the
distinct understanding that they
would not be opened to settlement.
He believed those white persons
who desired this valuable tract, be
thrown open for their personal
gain, and certain railroad influences
anxious to get a foothold on the
reservation sought By this appar-
emily Insignificant amend
ment to cause the removal of
Colonel Randlett thus ousting one
of thestrong opposing forces.
The promptness with which the
senate acted indicates that other
provisions Of the bill looking to
the opening of these pasture these
pasture lands will be killed when
reached.
1t is though that the Indian bill
will have a stormy passage
through congress.
The senate has hacked the house
bill to pieces and made practically
new bill. One Of the provisions
which Senator Long opposed in
the committee and today opposed
on the floor is the proposed en-
rollment Of Choctaws, Chickasaws
Creeks and Seminole children born
since given date. These items
added $50, 900 to the senate
appropriations and if passed will
openthe allotment rolls and thus
cause delays. 1t is provided that
Choctaw and Chickasaw children
born since September a5th, 1909,
and prior to March a, 1905 shall be
enrolled and Greek children born
since May rs. 1901

From a Four Months Tour
OF the Desert.

W. II. jenkins Believes II VIII BE
The Scene OF Much Activity 10
The Near Future.

A trio OF prospectors with calloused
hands and faces bronzed from coming
IN contact with the winds which sweep
over the heated sands of southern Me-
vada, put In their appearance yester-
day after a four months tour through
the mineral bearing regions Of Lincoln
county, The party consisted OF w II,
jenkins, A. III, Johnson and A. N. Mil
let, all Denver boys. who have been
in search of some Of the golden wealth
now hidden In natures treasure boxes
Of the neghboring state,
Mr. jenkins related an interesting
story today Of the travels OF himself
and companions. The party QUILTED az
Las Vegas early last November and
started out to prospect the mountain
regions on either side OF the Salt Lake
Route. The visitors first struck out for
the Kawich district one of the Nevada
camps now enjoying quite a healthy
boom but did not stop long. as they
found the country staked of for miles
around. Believing Il useless to tarry,
II was concluded to prospect the irish
mountains SO they harnessed their
horses and headed In that direction,
which district was reached In due time,
This region" said Mr.. Jenkins,
looks inviting, but we did not find any
thing exactly to our liking, so, after
spending a little time there we pulled
out for Tinpiuts which also seems to
have possibilities worthy OF considera-
ton by men who have some capital to
back them on leaving this camp We
prospected the Desert mountains but
here we found nothing Of value and the
naturalization does not amount TO
much"
After leaving the Desert mountains
the party crossed the Salt Lake Route
again to prospect the country between
Las Vegas and Eldorado canyon. about
40 miles from the former place and near
the Colorado river Eldorado, in the
opinion OF Mr., jenkins and his assocl-
ates, is going to be the scene of the
next big mining boom in Nevada. Some
immensely rich ore has been discovered
lately-.some assaying as high as 1900
ounces silver to the ton, new properties
are being discovered and old mines,
worked infthe early days of mining in
the west, are belng reopened again,
The ore deposits In Colorado are eX-
| tenslve, and Mr.. Jenkins feels confident
| II will make one Of the largest and best
| mining camps I'm Nevada. Prospectors
are going In there rapidly and already
| the region Is attracting capital; several

, recently, The Cedar Basin country con-
tains some good indications. according
