lESTERH KANSAS UNDER SE0
STORM HAS LASTED A WEEK
WITH NO ABATEMENT.
An Unprecedented Record for ths
West and the Coming Season Is
Fun Of Promise

Western Kansas has been iR ths
grip OF a snow storm for I've days.
and the Oldest settlers say that 6
is without a parallel in the history
Of the short grass country. Snow
lies deep everywhere, and even un-
derneath the present blanket are
buried the drifts OF the blizzard Of
a week ago
There was hardly a cessation Of the
binding storm last Friday, when the
elements began to form for q con-
tinued storm. which has extended, &C.
cOrding to report. from the Hississip-
pi river to the Rocky mountains. The
wind has ranged east and southeast
the greater part OF the time, with q
low temperature, and a rather gentle
fall OF snow.
Thes present storm has done much
more good than the blizzard, for any
where on the prairie there is q blan-
ket Of snow from six to eight inches
in depth, notwithstanding the fact
that there has been q slight thawinE
going on in the middle part OF near
ly every day.
The big snow storm has forced cat
tlemen to keep up their herds and to
feed well during this severe stretch
OF weather. In some cases, the farm
er finds himself short OF feed at this
time Of the year, but those situated "a
this condition have had q chance to
buy fodder and feed Of some kind In
the neighbOrhOOd.
The ground has been getting q good
freeze every night for the past week.
and the prospects for the coming
crop year are beyond the hopes and
dreams Of our most exuberant people.
There seems to be great promise In
the season, and It is far more than
probable that Sherman county viii
enter another record breaking crop
for 1906
Settlers and hOmeseekers from Diff
ferent parts Of the country east are
surprised generally with the condi-
ton Of things, for they can see no
difference between this county and
the favored counties OF rich agrf-
cultural states, where they came
from. They have the agricultural
mind and are going to put out spring
sOwings as soon as the weather VIII
permit. All they need in the way OF
farming knowledge to succeed in this
section Of country, is to have a care
for thorough tfllage of the land and
the soil mulch on the surface. When
that is done, seedtime and harvest will
roll around in abundance Just as sure
as it does in Iowa, Illinois or any
where else. and the people will be
glad IN this land Of free homes and
plenty.

VOTED FOR A NEW STATE
OKLAHOMA AND INDIAN TERRI
TORY THROUGH SENATE.
Old Settlers Say They Never Saw the
Like, and Prospects Were
Never More Favorable.

Washington, March 9.-TOday, at
5:35 D. m, the senate passed a bill
for the admission OF a new state 70
be called Oklahoma, and to be COM
posed OF the territory Of Oklahoma
and Indian territory. It was the house
joint statehood bill, with all the pro-
visions relating to Arizona and New
Mexico stricken out The motion 70
strike out was made by Mr.. Burrows,
and II was carried by the close vote
OF 81 to IS, having been lost in com
mittee OF the whole by the still closer
vote OF 35 TO Sc.
Immediately after the disposal Of
the statehood bill, the house rate bill
was made the unfinished business, but
as the senate adjourned over SatUr-
day and Sunday, the actual formal
consideration Of the measure viii not
begin until Monday The vote on
statehood came as the climax Of a day
devoted exclusively to that bill Most
Of the time was given to discussion,
but the voting on the bill and amend
n4ents consumed an hour and a half.
The speechmaking excited compare
lively little interest
As amended by the senate, the bill
provides for the creation Of the state
Of Oklahoma out Of Oklahoma and
Indian territory, upon the adoption Of
a constitution The state is allowed
the usual quota OF executive, judicial
and legislative officers, two United
States senators and five members Of
the national house. A constitutional
convention with 10 members, So Of
whom are to be chosen by each Of
the territories comprising the state, is
provided for, and all male citizens or
male Indians q years old are made
eligible to membership in it There
is an especial provision protecting the
Indians in their rights and cOntinu-
ing the prerOgative Of the national
government to control their affairs.
The sale Of intoxicating liquors in
what is now Indian territory IS pro-
hibited for q years, and longer, IN
less the constitution is changed. Sec
tons 16 and IS Of each township Of
land in Oklahoma are set aside for
the benefit Of the common school sys-
tenn, as is also 3 per cent Of the pro-
ceeds Of the sale Of public lands.
There is an appropriation Of five mill
lions from the national treasury for
the school fund. Provision is made
for support Of higher education and
charitable institutions Two districts
Of the United States courts, one in
Oklahoma and the other in Indian
territory, are provided for. Guthrie
is made the temporary seat Of gov
eminent but the house provision con-
tinuing it in that capacity until 1915,
was eliminated

George Wilson Prefers Sherman
County TO Irrigated Oregon.
George Wilson, sOn-in-law Of J.
NJ Lamb, who left here about two
years ago for the Snake valley, Idaho,
returned to Sherman county Satur-
day morning He was accompanied
by his wife and children, with per-
sOnal effects and baggage. He traded
his five acres Of irrigated land for a
quarter section Of land in Colorado.
He is lucky to have retained his quar-
ter section Of land in Sherman county
The Snake valley, Idaho is nothing
but a desert country, and only when
irrigation is possible, can anything be
raised. The only market for produce
Is the railroad and mining towns.
Really, it is the most desolate and
uninviting country we ever travelled
over, as we did in August last

DIR. ORAWFORD's ART.
His Representations at the Christian
Church Were Excellent.

~ ere El1lcllELL-
7. Marion Crawford, professor Of
eIocution and -eratory Of the Kansas
Wesleyan university, gave an enter
tainment at the Christian church
Tuesday evening under the auspices
Of the Christian EndeaYOr society.
Despite the cold and stormy weather,
there was q good attendance, which
was both an evidence OF the
activity OF the young people in adVer-
Using the program and the reputation
Of Prof. Crawford to please an audi
ence with his art in impersOnation-
The program was entitled, Peace
full Valley" a story Of simple New
England life, dealing with the strug-
giles OF a poor boy to obtain an edu-
cation and with his efforts to ind his
sister The program, divided into
three parts, carried ten different char
acters- It brought out the versatile
character OF Mr.. Crawford in his
work, who, PrOteus-like, fmDersOnat-
ed the old man, the old woman, the
maiden and her lover with great
faithfulness- Especially does he stir
one with interest in his portrayal Of
a lettering old man. His facial con
tOrtiOn, his intonation, his every
movement, brings home the thought
ana Ieelng OF old age his art IS
successfully concealed in the delusiOn
OF making the audience loose sight Of
Crawford and to see and feel with the
character he is impersonating.
He rendered several short mfsceI-
laneOus pieces, and also gave his
hearers a serious talk on the great
importance Of good reading-an art
extremely rare among school teach
ers and people generally these days
He said that good reading was get
ting more and more to be a lost art
This was Prof. Crawford's second
in GOOdland, and his COM
ing has made pleasant acquaintance
among our people, who will again be
glad to hear him in his favOrite work
Miss Lizzie PausCh sang a song and
the Christian church choir rendered
two selections.

WHAT REEDEB HAS DONE.
Record of Big Things Executed on
the Quiet.

the quiet.
Washington, March 12-Congress-
men are judged by their ability to do
things. Many Of those who are up
towards the front in this category are
seldom heard of inf the newspapers.
One OF the members Of the Kansas
delegation who has succeeded in do
ing things but Of whom little is heard
is Congressman Reeder. That this is
appreciated by the Obseryant is shown
BY the fact that a leading Kansas
republican, who was in Washington
this week, in talking Of Reeder quot
ed a prominent Kansas democrat as
saying:
"A retrospect Of the work of the
men Kansas has sent to congress
shows that Reeder has accomplished
two things which are Of more than
usual Importance
The first work was securing for
Kansas Of the largest EXPERIMENTAL
farm in the world at Fort Hays, and
the establishment Of a normal college
in connection with it. But for Reed
er's Individual efforts the farm and
college would not now be in existence
and the farm never could be in the
future.
The second work was securing the
passage Of the national irrigation law.
The importance Of this well directed
effort for irrigation legislation was
recognized by the First National Irri-
cation convention held at Colorado
Springs shortly after the passage Of
the 'Reeder bill
ct is difficult, If not impossible, to
ind any Kansas member Of congress,
even as far back as Ingalls, and Plumb
who has two such important works to
his credit, when judged by the ben
ehcent results that will come to the
people in the future"

TENDER JUMPED The TRACK.
Accident 70 Train No. 10 sunday
Night With q Fortunate Outcome.


Accident TO Train No. 10 Sunday
Night With q Fortunate Outcome.
The tender Of the big engine that
was pulling passenger train No. 10
Sunday night jumped the track at
q point between Selden and Dresden.
The train was running fifty miles an
hour when the wheels OF the tender
left the rails with a jump, and rolled
along on the ties the distance OF seven
telegraph poles. before the engineer,
George Kelly, could bring the train TO
a stop
The only thing that saved the pas
senger coaches from being ditched
was the fact that the tender kept up
right on the ties. If it had jumped
outside Of the ties, the coupling would
have broken and the tender would
undoubtedly have thrown the follow
ing coaches into the ditch.
John Boyle OF Phiuipsburg, an old
engineer on this division, happened
TO be a passenger on the train, and
BY his able assistance in a case OF this
kind, Engineer Kelly had the tender
back on the track in two hours The
fireman, Harper, and the brakeman
had to act as fiagmen and that left
only Kelly, Boyle and a porter to do
the heavy work
Engineer Kelly succeeded in getting
the train over the badly damaged
piece Of track. and went on his way
rejoicing that the accident had such
a fortunate result
WestbOund trains Nos. p and 5,
which had reached the Selden siding,
had to wait there for several hours
until a gang Of section men repaired
the track and made it safe for pas
sage.
