a valet, groom and a maid. From

and came straight through to London.
From here we are going to Paris and
Berlin, riding horseback everywhere

"We did on an average about thirty
miles day. In this way we were able
TO view the picturesque country more
easily and comfortably, and with
greater satisfaction than we could
have done by rushing along dusty

Mammoth Wild Hay Crop.

Guthrie, Okla, Aug 17.-Through-
out the western portion Of the Chick
asaw nation the farmers report big
crops of wild hay. 1t has just begun

ably big tonnage to the acre. There
are now great pastures under fence
chat were once ranges, and it is from
these that the big hay crop is cut.
Formerly the ranchmen would NOW
where he pleased and bale and ship
the hay, paying only an insignificant
sum into the tribal treasurey for the
privilege. The allotting Of the land
has stopped all of that, however, and
the big hay man now has to get his
pastures under lease in small tracts
and fence it, keeping the cattle of,
if he wants hay, until the crop is cut
and baled.
Native grass can be pastured in the
early spring and again as soon as the
hay is cut, especially If it has been
such a wet season as the present. A
good hay crop is worth from s. to
$S per acre, with no expense except
the cutting.

Muskogee, August 1.-Two field
parties were sent out today by the
Dawes commission to work in enroll
mcnt cases, securing evidence. Alex
ander Posey, accompanied by stem
ographer, will visit all parts of the
territory, securing additional evidence
in cases now pending before the com
sion. Some of these cases have been
pending for the past five or six years
and many of the numerous letters
sent out by the commission remain
unanswered, because of the ignorance
of the people who receive them.
jesse McDermott will go into the
Greek nation and look after the new
born cases, where there is not suf-
fcient proof for enrolment. Posey
visited that section of the country
just before the rolls were closed to
secure evidence of all who were en-
titled to enrolment. In many cases
where the names could not be learned
the fact that SUCH persons existed
saved their rights for enrolment.

OKLAHOMA FOR
GOOD ROADS
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
TO CONSIDER PROBLEM.
The BOOSTERS ARE MANY
Use a Road Drag With Good Results
Want a County Engineer Es-
tablished.
Special to the World.

Special to the World.
Guthrie, Ok, August 1.-THE only
good roads work which is now being
done by the Oklahoma Good Roads as
sociation is along the line Of educa-
ton, says A. c. Titus, of Crescent
City, president of the organization.
The matter will be taken up in the
constitutional convention, however,
the efforts of the association at that
time being directed principally toward
the creation of state highway com
missioner, who shall have general
charge of all road work in the state.
"Liberal appropriations should be
made for road building when the
new state is organized" said Mr.. IT,
tus. "The custom has ordinarily been
that good roads came only with the
development Of the country, when the
requirements of traffic made them ab-
solutely necessary, but is should be
the other way. Good roads should be
ubilt the first thing when an undevel-
oped country is opened up, in order
to assist in its development, and any
money which is expended in that way
will come back to the community very
quickly in the increased business and
general development which il will
cause. l know that such theory is
a little in advance of the times, but
if we can get chanse to have it put
into practice, its correctness can very
readily be proven.
"While none of the counties have
as yet taken advantage of the law
passed by the last legislature, provid-
ing for the election of a county engi-
ness, yet | am confident that the plan
will be adopted by all the older Okla
homa counties at the next general cleo
ton, if not all over the territory"
continued Mr.. Titus. "The county
commissioners as a rule have been un-
willing to call special elections for
that purpose. Two county surveyors
have already taken the examination
at the Agricultural & Mechanical col
lege provided by the law, to qualify
( for the position of county engineer,
when such place shall be establish
ed"
The educational campaign now be-
ing conducted in Oklahoma is especi-
ally along the line of the use of the
road drag, and farmers all over, the
territory are beginning to realize the
utility and practibility of the system,
and to take it up regularly and sys-
tematically. II has been put to a
practical test at Hobart, where thu
street commissioner has been using the
drag on the streets after each rain
with very satisfactory results.
