RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS.
Department Ruling Win Reference
TO Subetitutes and Their Pay.

Department Ruling with Reference
to Substitutes and Their Pay.
Washington, Oct. 1S.-The postohice
department has disbarrcd in the last
appropriation bill a provision that has
greatly discounted the railway mail
clerks Of The country. Previously /.
had been the practice wEen n postai
clerk took > leave Of absence for any
cause, to put on a substitute and pay
him at raI mot to exceed $500 a
year" The difference between his own
salary and the wages paid TO his sub
stiJute, the postal clerk was allowed
to keep. AS the law now is, the
postoGlce department itself must botn
employ and pay the substitute, so that
the matter Ia no longer one for pri-
vate arrangement sbetween the clerk
and his substitute. The salary of the
clerks in the railway mail service ex
ceeds $500 per annum, and he will
no longer be allowed TO save the dir
ference when he takes a layoff.
The change effects clerks in frs
and second class pOstofilces and car
riers in the free delivery service a.
weN, but e7 the salaries Of many
them DO not exceed $500 year, they

OKLAHOMA ORANGES.

Oklahoma has always been a sort OF
wonder land Crop after crop that had
heretofore been supposed to be indigen-
eous only 10 other states has been
found to have real home in oklaho-
ma. The first settlers did not think
OF it as banner wheat land, neither did
they consider it adapted to cotton, but
it proved to be the very best soil for
both, winning prizes at the expositions
for each The same was true Of pota-
toes and many fruits.
The latest proposition IS an orange
crop. The suggestion cs made by Con
gressman Victor Murdock Of Kansas,
who is Of the opinion that variety re-
Gently made by crossing Florida and
japanese oranges, by experts Of the
agricultural department. would grow
well in Oklahoma and he is inclined to
think in southern Kansas.
The experiment az any rate would be
quite well worth trying and might add
one more crop to the many crops al

lahoma A treat to box of the first
fruits of the orange groves Of Okla
homa is due TO Victor Murdoch.

LIE TEXAS RANeER

The sending Of Texas Rangers to
Hampstead the scene Of the killing Of
Congressman Pinckney, calls to mind
the famous services Of these early day
soldiers OF the Texas ranges, whose
organization stin continues. It Is
doubtful whether so unique a body OF
police or militia we're ever organized.
Few certainly ever had any more Dovel
or desperate conditions with wbich to
contend.
slngly or in squads they traversed
the lonely ranges. not knowing at what
particular moment the horse thief or
desperate for whom they were looking
might hre from the nearest bush or
rayine. 1t was, however an unlucky
day for the horse thief If he did not hit
the first shot. as the high chances were
decidedly against his ever having an
other opportunity. Rangers were given
10 very unerring aim.
These mounted heroes Of the plains
upheld the dignity Of the law, at time
when it was worth the price Of a man S
life 70 be known as an officer Of the
law. Yet they fearlessly roamed over
the plains and served the processes OF
the courts or in default Of a wi,lIng-
ness Of the offender 70 respect the legal
dignity OF the state served him warm
lead.
Such service as fell to their LOT thir-
~ years ago. rarely comes now that

state organization is kept up and the
historic name still lives. However as

riled on occasions and particularly

THE osAeE ALLOTMENT COMING.

The most reserved of all the Indian
nations is The Usage nation. They
steadfastly hold out against allotment
though large numbers are now in f.
vor of It. The Cherokees. Choctaws.
Chickasaws and Creeks have all taken
their allotments, but the aristocratic
and reserved Osages stand aloof from
the white man and his ways, choosing
to follow a course Of their own making.
The Osages have progressed rapidly,
but their great wealth has placed them
on so independent a footing, they are
very much inclined to let well enough
alone, according 10 the way they see
well enough The prospect OF owning
700 acres Of land in their own right
should prove very attractive, however
for this would mean for an average
family of FIVE 1900 acres Of good land
The discovery of oil within the last
few years at Bartlesville and the de
velopment of the Foster leases have
rendered the Usage lands vastly more
valuable than formerly In fact It is
very difficult to even approximate their
value, when the oil proposition is con-
sidered. When their vast deposits and
annuities are considered, they are east
ly the wealthiest people in the world,
being worth over $4,000 per capita.
There is a general impression at
Pawhuska shared by the Indian agent
and Mr. w. T. Leahy that 100 acres of
land will be allotted to each Usage by
presidential order at an early date
leaving the residue lands for action of
congress. The Indians would really
prefer allotments. If any at all are
made. to embrace the whole 700 acres,
while congress favors getting white
settlers in on part Of the lands.
While the Osages may delay and
hold of for a time, there can be no
doubt but that they wiz before a great
while be lined up with all the other
great nations. and the member Of the
Indian tribe viii be a sovereign citizen
Of the new state.
The building of the Midland Valley
railroad through Pawhuska and the
nation, and the creation Of new towns
can not fail 10 give new life and i'm.
petus to the reservation. There Is
something in the whistle OF the locomo
/ tive that inspires energy and thrift and
even the osages can not long resist its
siren songs.
Il is matter Of regret that so fine
a body Of land should have remained
so long in a comparatively unproduc
tive state. The general hope and belief
is that the next year viii witness some
decided and definite action in regard tC
these lands.

A|.NNNNN"N - = = ftI"N 49, "-~t
The clesrest and best enunciaiione
Il re proper position for sn Oklaho
mans Is that made by the Oklahoma
nress association az its annual meeting
Il oKahoma city April 25th. The
esolution regarding statehood is as
'onows
Resolved, That the Oklahoma Press
association is in favor Of immediate
single statehood under ahy conditions
which congress may deem wise to i'm
pose. We believe. however. that It is
an injustice 10 link the fortunes Of Ok
lshoma and Indian Territory with any
other territory or territories in an
omnibus bin. and would respectfully
ask all friends Of statehood for Oklaho-
ma in congress to allow the question
of the admission of Oklahoma and In
dian Territory as one state to stand
alone upon its merits, independently Of
any action that may be taken upon
Arizona and New Mexico"
The one great proposition is for i'm
mediate single statehood and the one
Important matter in the way Of it is
the omnibus feature Of the OLD bill.
once Oklahoma is cut loose from the
omnibus bin there Is not much doubt
that a single statehood bill would pass
at the aext session.
,trt4r A -t-s,,,, .,,a Mon, Nfo,foo IN tho
bill there is go much room for those
who do not want any statehood o: a.
to find refuge In side issues, that il he
comes an exceedingly dangerous com
bination now, The whole force Of Ok
iahoma and its friends should be di-
rected toward securing separate bill
dealing with Oklahoma,
Oklahoma Fnd her friends have the
klndliest feelings for Arizona and New
Mexico and would exert all her in
huence toward securing just treatment
for the two territories, but the chances
for action seem better for each to be
considered alone That would seem TO
be tne lesson that should be learned
from the last session Of congress.
This definite announcement Of the
attitude Of the press of Oklahoma can
and should have weight in congress
Delegate Mcclure and the committee
on territories can not afford to ignore
the attitude of the press Of Oklahoma
The press merely voices the sentiment
Of practically the whole mass Of the
people Of both territories.
There should be united action ale
ltlhs line for immediate single stateho,
without entangling alliances.
