OKLAHOMA GROWS.

The report Of the United States cen
sus in book form just issued regard
ing the mines Of Oklahoma for 1902
sounds strangely ont of date already
SO wonderfully has the situation
changed in the last three years that
one can hardly realize that the words
Of the report were intended for Okla
homa at ALL
A paragraph Of the report is given
to show how easily one who was de-
pendant upon the census for informa-
tion and who regarded the book just
issued as an ultimate authority might
read the statements made now in the
press and elsewhere with a good deal
of allowance.
Besides it b distinctly refreshing
and encouraging to note that we are
living amid scenes OF such remarkable
development. that within the space of
three years government reports grow
old and before the census office can
get their information digested and is
sued in book form # has grown quite
out Of date
To the people Of Oklahoma, however,
the most encouraging part of the whole
situation Is that our mineral resources
are even now only in the very first
stages Of development. The surface
has scarcely been scratched as yet
save at a few points and they are only
partly developed.
In the matter Of gas an doll the very
best indications are that belt extends
the entire distance through the terri
tory from Bsrtlesville to Greer county
There are bis things in Oklahoma for
those who will go after them The
whole territory is filled with the sort
Of men too who go after things and
get them, too The following para
graph appears in the report:
From the above table Il appears
that mining in Oklahoma during 1902
was confined to the quarrying Of lime

sum is by far the most important
product Of mineral industry in the ter
ritory" Think of it.
Proceeding the report says: MANY
stories have been circulated from time
to time regarding old Spanish mines
existing in Oklahoma, but they hav,
little foundation It is claimed. how
ever, that dates cut in rocks in tn,
Wichita mountains indicate the dis
covery Of gold as early as 1882. These
mountains are located in the forbid
den ground Of the Kiowa and Conan
che reservation in the southwestern
part of the territory, and prospectorl
and miners are not allowed to explor,
the locality" Can anyone blame east
ern people for thinking of Oklahoma
as still the Indians country?

woods to be used in the trophy room.

GANG SLAP At coLoREo
SCHOOL PATRONS

The colored people have been
w7onged by the closing Of their
schools in this city two months before
pe proper time. Who is to blams7
The blame lies with the old Repub-
lican board Of county commissioners
and school board. That much is GER
tain The attorney general Of the ter
ritory says So Il is the law.
Why did not the old board make a
sufficient levy? This stupid board
knew the amount needed. Il failed to
make the levy It was the duty Of the
cid commissioners under the law They
refused To do it, Still the old Re
publican gang loves the colored man.
The strange point about the whole
affair is that the school board knew
of the separate school deficit a month
before the city election The board
knew there was no money available
with which to pay the teachers Of the
colored schools, but the matter was
Kept quiet
In the city campaign the colored
snan even refused to be considered the
bersonal property Of the old gang and
voted to suit himself A considerable
contingent, it is said, voted for the
Citizens ticket
AT the next meeting Of the school
board Immediately after the election
down came the lash. The oolored
schools of the city are closed two
months before their time How the
old gang did love the negro votei
To "a man up tree it appears as
if this short levy had been made to
use as cudgel with which to whip the
negro. II he should dare to vote his
sentiments in the election and refuse
% support the old gang methods. The
negro voted as he pleased. The
schools were closed forthwith after
the elec .ou. Behold, the consideration
of the ring for the colored brother
The attorney general says the new
Democratic county board can not
make levy to cover this years deficit
So the present board can not be
blamed. The. present board can and
will make sufficient levy to cover
the separate schools for next year.
The impression sought 10 be con
veyed that the old county board could
not figure out the amount needed IS a
sobbing, wobbly lachrymose excuse
The trouble is that the members could
figure, and figure on more things than
how much it would take 20 run the
colored schools for the entire school
year
The colored people have been
wronged The old gang did the deed
There appears TO be no remedy now
but the fact is worth remembering. A
last will and testament of the love OF
the old gang for the negro,
This is no bid FOR negro votes. The
election is over, The negro voted as
he pleased and viii continue to vote as
he pleases. Right - right and harms
no man. The negro school patrons

TRAFALGAR


One hundred years ago lacking just
SIX months. was fought the battle Of
Trafalgar and since then there has
been no sea hpht which will compare,
either in the size Of the fighting fleets.
or in the Importance OF the issues at
stake with the one which the world is
now expecting between Togo and
Rojestvensky
Lord Nelson fought with twenty
seven ships against the allies larger
feet of thirty-three ships Togo is ex.
pected to have some forty vessels.
against a possible fifty under Roiest-
vensky Then. as now, the rival fleets
included fighting machines Of as fine
type as in their respective days had
ever been ahoat
Lord Nelson's feet was manned
with experienced sailors Of fighting
blood, and his vessels We're ft and
ready for action. Admiral Vileneuve,
commanding the allies, went into ac-
tion with officers and men under him
downhearted and With many of his
ships in bad condition. From what we
know of Roiestvensky' fleet the sim
ilarity here Is easy to trace.
AT stake then was the command Of
the sea. France lost it and never re-
covered it. though it is true Napoleon,
in a style almost Russian. passed of
for the moment as insignificant "the
loss of a few ships at sea-" At stake
now is also the command Of the sea.
Russia is making her last throw II
she loses she will lose beyond repair
Japan risks not only sea power. but
the fruits of all her victories ON land.
Napoleon then was at yhe height OF
his career, winning some Of the great
est of his victories on land Here a
difference between the condition Of
the helligerents then and now appears,
Russia Is i'm the midst of her defeats
Napoleon did not feel the full force OF
his loss of sea power for years to
come. If Russia loses in the coming
fight she will know at once that all
is lost.
When Togo and Rojestvensky have
met and the victory is won we may see
ether similarities with Trafalgar, but
enough are evident now to emphasize
the fact that day Of memorable
things is approaching.
