Guthrie, Ok, June ro.-When
the laws OF Oklahoma have been
extended over Indian territory,
both the republican and the demo.
cratic parties in the consolidated
territories will find themselves with
two organizations. Zach party has
its national committeeman and
territorial committee with its re-
spective officers. As the controlling
party in the preparation of plans
for the organization of the state
the republican party IS confronted
with more danger than the demo-
cratic party in merging Of its two
organizations into one.
Pliny Soper is republican ma
tional committeeman in Indian
territory and sympathy with the
the anti-McGuire organization in
Oklahoma. c. NJ. cade is repub-
lican national committeeman in
Oklahoma and supporter of the
MCGUIRE organization. Governor
Frantz, who has worked in har-
mony with Delegate Mcclure and
is on unfriendly terms with a ma
jority Of the leading anti-McGuire
republicans in Oklahoma will be in
position to exert great influence in
shaping the merger. What he will
do can only begussed at.If it should
be his purpose to ask for the repub-
lican gubernatorial nomination, and
he will be candidate unless re-
strained by financial reasons, he
will be forced to proceed with cau-
ton and to incur the least possible
personal hostility, both in Oklaho-
ma and in Indian territory. An at
tempt may be made to elect a sin
gle national committeeman and a
single state committee this fall. The
contest would be of great inter
est.
A proposal to consolidate the re
publican machinery of the two ter
ritories, probably will come before
the Indian territory executive CON-
mittee when it meets in Bartlesville
July 81. In the mean while Cover.
nor Frantz may be recognized in
Washington as arbiter between con-
tending factions IN the two terri
TOTES in matters Of patronage.

There was some protest in different
portions of Oklahoma the last few
days when it was learned that Hun

deposit it for all time in the, ahives

must give it to them, sir. But it is
a great waste, and half of them
won't work, sir. And those that

Owing to the increasing business
and patr onage, the Birch Creek Mu-
tual Telephone company with lines
reaching from this city to upper Birch
creek, will be connected with the main
central offices of the Pacific States
company in this city within a short
time
The Birch Creek line is we'll patron

it is impossible to handle 1t we'll with
out a regular central office, and for
this reason it will be connected with
the telephone offices.
This will give the people OF the
Birch creek and Pilot Rock country
an excellent phone service and the
line will perhaps be extended to in
clude more territory in the near fu-
ture. The agitation for a general mu-
tual system of telephones throughout
the county is becoming more and more
pronounced, and it is possible that a
system will be established before many
months, with headquarters in this
city.

RECLAMATION REPORTS.
Third Annual Report of the Service Is
Now Out.

The second edition of the third an
nual report of the reclamation service
now published by the United States
geological survey, is worthy of more
special attention than was the first
edition, because 1t is accompanied by
collection of SO maps, separately
bound, which were prepared after the
close of the field season as illustra-
tions to the text. As the accompani-
ment is sometimes better than the
song, so these maps may give to many
clearer idea of the reclamation work
projected and now in progress than
does the written record.
This report shows that examinations
and surveys, as required by law. have
been carried on throughout the arid
regions, and that construction has
been begun and has progressed rapid
ly wherever the surveys have demon
strated the practicability of project.
Taking into account the wide distribu-
tion of operations and the initiative
and judgment which must be left to
the engineers, 1t is believed that the
results of the work are highly salts
factory.
This report is published for general
distribution and may be obtained on
request to the director of the geo.
logical survey. The usual quota is
also supplied to members of congress.

JOHN WALLATSI Is IN JAIL.
Forfeited His Bond by Propensity for
Drinking.

John Wallatsi, Honest john" is
once more behind the bars of the
county Jail. He was placed there this
morning by John HALEY, Jr., because
his bondsmen asked to be relieved
from the responsibility of his appear
ance in the federal court at the proper
time. John is charged in the federal
court with taking liquor on the reser-
yation and is now awaiting trial. He
was confined in the county Jail in
Portland for several months. While
there his health was poor, and at last
he was admitted to bail, John Grow
and Thomas Thompson being bonds
men.
But since his return home Honest
John" has been unable to repress his
joy, and he has been in the police
court several times charged with
drunkenness. Finally his bondsmen
became impatient and this morning
asked Commissioner Haley to relieve
them from their responsibility. Un-
less other bondsmen are soon forth
coming, Wallatsi will have to go to the
Portland Jail once more.

COUNTY COURT AND HIGHWAYS.
At the Present Stage Nothing ConcIu-
i've Can Be Done.

Today the county court has been
busy grinding out road business that
has been brought before the session.
Several men from the north end of the
county have presented propositions
concerning roads in that section. How
ever, nothing in regard to the pro-
posed macadam road to Walla Walla
has appeared.
At this term of court the three pc
titions asking for roads across the
reservation will be referred to the
board of viewers. The court will then
adjourn unit 1.-The viewers are ready to
report upon the subject. After the
same has been received the matter will
be passed upon by the commissioners
and then forwarded to Agent Edwards
and the department at Washington for
their approval. 1t is hoped to have all
these steps taken by June, so that the
commissioners at their June session
may order the opening of the roads.

to be paved this spring provided no

heartily in favor of the paving since
