cation in connection with the blanket
withdrawal Of Montana lands proceed.
ing the creation of Kootenai and
Cabinet mountain forest reserves. 1t
was stated by forestry officials today
that while it has been necessary to
withdraw large areas temporarily, a
considerable part, consisting of pat
ented and agricultural land, will be
eliminated when reconnaissance sur
vey notes are worked up into perman.
ent form. 1t is asserted that the most
OF the complaints made are based
upon inaccurate information on the

SlmOOt Case Resumed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE senate
committee on privileges and elections
today again took up the Reed Smoot
case. Smoot was present., accom-.
panied by a number of Mormons, In.
GLIDING Apostle Smith. There. was a
big attend ance, chiefly Of women.
Walter Wolfe formerly professor Of
Brigham Young college at Provo,
Utah, was q witness for the prosecu.
ton today.
Wolfe told of the plural marriages
of Professor Benjamin CluffE:of Flor.
ence Reynolds. Wolfe said he had
"taken endowment" oaths II times,
each time taking an oath to pray
ceaselessly that God should avenge
the blood OF the prophet upon this
nation.
The witness said be :believed that
polygamous establishments have in.
creased since Utah was admitted as q
state, and that Smoot knew of these
conditions. Wolfe said} that, as q
Mormon, he could 0not become q
United States senator because when
the oaths conficted it would be his
duty to adhere to the church.

AN OLD MISSION AT ANT FE.
peopled extensively by those Of Span
ish lineage. Opposition to admission
Of Arizona with New Mexico has also
arisen among the mining companies Of
the former territory. 1t is stated that
these corporations can operate more
independently and probably under a
territorial form Of government than
they might be able to under statehood
and do not car to risk a change.
There is substantial unanimity Of
opinion in favor of admitting Indian
Territory and Oklahoma, but opinion
differs whether they should come in as
one state or two. 1t has been asserted
that every citizen Of both territories
Is in favor Of single statehood if it can
he secured and that a large majority
is In favor Of joint statehood if moth
ing better can be obtained. The peo-
pie Of Indian Territory have adopted,
subject to ratification by congress, a
state constitution and a complete state
organization. They have chosen the
name of "Sequoyah" for the proposed
new state, thus %perpetuating the name
and services Of the famous Cherokee
chief who invented the Cherokee alpha
bet and did so much to advance the
Indians Of his own and other tribes in
education and industry.
In Indian Territory there are a great
many red men of considerable fortune
and no small educational acquire
ments. Tribal organizations will 60
out of existence on the 18th of March
next, tribal officials will 90 out Of pow
er and tribal taxes will cease. These
conditions make an early decision as to
statehood desirable. 1t is urged that
no territory ever came to congress
with better claims to statehood than
Oklahoma. The territory has not only
population, but wealth, commerce, in
dustry and a high degree of civiliza-
ton. The ratio Of illiteracy is said to
be less in the newly settled Oklahoma
than in that headquarters Of culture
and educational progress, New Eng
land. The statistics show also that the
wealth per capita is larger in Oklaho-
ma than in New England. While there
are many red men in Oklahoma, the
proportion of Indians to whites is not
by any means SO large as in Indian
Territory itself, and this constitutes
the main reason why the majority Of
the residents Of Oklahoma ask for its
admission as Il state on existing terri
torial lines instead Of its future being
linked with that Of the adjoining terri
tory.

Dense Fog In Chicago.

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-From early morn.
ing until after noon a dense cloud of
smoke and clouds hung over this city,
making it one of the darkest days ever
experienced here. All of the stores
were lighted as though it was night,
and the street cars ran with lamps
lighted and had lights blazing as in
the night time. AT times it was not
possible to see more than one SQUARE
in any direction.
Much difficulty was experienced in
the streets. the darkness causing many
collisions. On the board of trade for
the first time for many years, there
was no announcement of the price Ut

session, dealers pronounced it impos.
sible to determine the character of
samples because of darkness. The

~HE question Of admitting new

terilood Of states Is always an
Interesting one. sut it has pc
cuiiar interest in the ease now before
the attention Of congress. -Four differ
ent territories are under consideration
In this connection. They are Arizona,
New Mexico, Indian Territory and Ok
lahoma, and each has a history full Of
stirring and romantic incidents. The
history of the two southernmost terri
tories is linked with that Of old Mexico,
and proud and warljke dons and zeal
MI priests and friars figure in the
early annals. The Indian Territory has
witnessed the progress of the red man
upward from a primitive state to one
OF comparative civilization and enlight-
eminent. The name Oklahoma brings
to mind the remarkable scenes which
ensued when the broad lands which
comprise that territory were opened up
for settlement and populous towns
sprang up in a night where before had
been but the tenantless prairie.
It would be possible to make four
states out Of the four territories. but
that is not likely to happen. In dis
cuss!ng the question in his recent mes
sage President Roosevelt said:
II recommend that Indian Territory
and Oklahoma be admitted as one
state and that New Mexico and A.ri-

HOUSE FINISHES RATE BILL,
Debate Is Closed and Measure Will Soon
Be Sent to Senate

WASHINGTON, Feb. There was
no delay from preliminary business
in the house today, the railroad rate
bill being taken up at IL o'clock and
the last day of general debate was be.
gun. The program included speeches
by Bourke Cochran of New York,
Mann of Illinois, Williams of Mis-.
sissippi and Hepburn of Iowa. Mr..
Cochran announced his position in
favor of the bill. While he did not
call it q panacea for all evils, it was
q most wholesome manifestation of q
unanimous public determine alton to
deal with the rate evils. 1t was the
only means by which the public own.
ership could be stopped, and checked
the most plausible argument Of the So
cialist.
1.-THE history of railroad manage
ment in this country" he said, sis
the history of favoritism, of corrup.
ton and of fraud"
In spite Of this he would not say the
railroads had not rendered enormous
service, but they had not been as eff.
cient as they should be. His next as.
sertion was that railway influences
predominated political parties.
The most effective feature of the
bill, he maintained was the popular
disposition back of it, the next was
its public feature. Great applause
greeted Cockran's conclusion, and at.
ter the informal reception to him had
concluded, Mr.. Mann of Illinois. took
the floor.
Expressing some reluctance at doing
so, Mr.. Mann said he would explain
why the bill contained nothing relat.
ing to passenger and sleeping car
rates.
1--WE have a bill which will pass
this and the other body, and we did
not want to array southern senator's
against the bill and open up in this
body the question of separate cars for
whites and blacks in the south"
AS to passes, he said, the old inter
state commerce act prohibited free
transportation and the present bill
did not interfere with that.
MIR. Hepburn concluded at 4 O'Clock
and on his motion the reading OF the
railroad rate bill for amendment I'm.
der the five.minute rule was begun.
