INSPECTOR FINDS FAULT
With our City Fire Department
and Waterworks

AT the council meeting yesterday.
a communication from c T ingalls,
manager Of the insurance inspect on
bureau Of the two territories, was
read in which he reciled the follow
ing defects in our watcrworks and
fire department and asked for
prompt attention.
I, Fire department handicapped
by moi having enough paid men,
should have at least four: men now
employed too young and inexperi-
enced, suggests an experienced fire
chief with power to appoint assist
ants. Fire department should
be re-orgapized and volunteers
regularly drilled.
2. Fire bell is too small and not
practical in town Of this size. Sug-
gests a larger bell with automatic
gong.
3. Pumping station should be
thoroughly overhauled. Boiler,
feed pipes, suction pipes and steam
lines should be in duplicate. Sug-
gests purchase Of better material
for pumping station and fire depart
ment Strainer over the suction
| pipe in the river is in bad condition,
new stramer should be attached and
crib built ever the suction pipe.
a. Water main; should be ex-
tended and additional hydrants in
stalled in dwelling district. Build
ing and electrical ordinances should
be adopted and enforced and city
Inspector appointed.
S. Accumulation and burning oil
rubbish in streets and alleys should
be prohibited, the practice is dan
gerous one and should BE- stopped
suggests public garbage rystem
having rubbish hauled away at leas
once day.
In conclusion Mr.. ingalls, say
the insurance companies should moi
be expected to maintain the presen
rates unless these requirements ar
complied with.

SENATOR SpOONER'S POSITION
Is A Fair Sample of Ignorance on
Indian Problems.

Before Indian territory can get
legislation removing the restriction
on Indian lands Senator Spooner
must be shown The Wiscon-
sin senator has positively refused to
be converted to the ieea that would
be the course Of wisdom to permit
the Indians to sell their lands, The
delegations from the Indian terri
tory have concentrated their fire on
him, bat it has availed them moth
ing. They say the senator knows
nothing about the Indian question
SO far as the Indian territory is
concerned and that he refuses to be
informed.
In reply to their arguments Mr..
Spooner has waved them aside. He
was positive that there was con-
spiracy by which the designing
white man with '6rewater hoped
to rob the poor. ignorant Indian Of
his lands. In every speech he has
made in the Senate relative to the
sales of the lands MrA Spooner has
regarded the Indians of the Indian
territory as semicivilized and what
are known as blanket Indians,
who in in the depth OF theirignor-
ance, are enticed from their reser-
vations and gently buncoed.
Senator Bailey, Senator Long
and Senator Teller and others who
know all about the Indian territory
endeavored tc enlighten him, but
without success. He let it be under
stood that he was of the same opin-
ion still. He went right ahead
and talked of 6rewater, beads. wig
vans and other thing that &c
along with the kind Of Indians in
the Northwest Senator Spooner is
familiar with. In the hearings he
fore the Indian committee Of Con
gress the fact was brought out time
and time again that there had not
been a blanket Indian or a wigwam
in the Indiantefritory for many
many years.
This information may reach the
senator frpn Wisconsin some day
That the amendment of the Indian
appropriation bill removing restric'
tions was rejected was due almost
entirely to Mr.. Spoontr. 1t was
subject to point Of order, but
the Senate, might have adopted il
had he permitted it to reach the
voting stage. He insisted upon
his point of order however, and II
went out of the bill. TX. c. Star

PRODUCTS OF THE SOUTHWEST
Will be Displayed Chickasha will
be Represented.

Concerning the display Of pro-
dues to be made by the South
we stern Industrial and Develop
ment. Association of which the
Chlckasha commercial club is a
member, the Kansas City Journal
says.
Secretary J. A. Runyan, Of the
Southwestern Industrial and Devel
opment Association, the federation
OF commercial organizationsformed
at St. Louis few weeks ago, is
working on the details Of plan
which will display the resources of
the Southwest so that everybody
who comes to Kansas City, the
gateway to the Southwestern empire
well see at glance the commercial,
agricultural and industrial possibi-
lities of the country i~cluded in the
associations territory.
Mr.. Runyan's plan is to have a
permanent exhibit OF the products
and resources OF the six states and
territories which make up the
association located in this city.
A few days ago President Nc
Neal Of Guthrie broached the SUBJ
ject of such an exhibit to be. locat-
ed in St, Louis. But it was quickly
pointed out to him that Kansas
City was the logical place for the
exhibit and the efforts to have il
located are being directed toward
its establishment in this city.
1t was pointed out to President
McNeal that Kansas City mlinsains
far closer relations with Kansas.
Oklahoma. Indian Territory thar
does St. Louis. although the latter
city is nearer Arkansas and Texas,
Missouri is the other state in the
federation and Kansas City has as
much claim to that as has St
Louis.
The proposed exhibit is to con-
sist of specimens of all the fruit.
and grains raised in the federation
territory, the cotton and other pro
ducts grown, the many varieties o
lumber timber, the varied minera
resources and everything which
will adequately reprsneted the grea
Southwestern commercial empire.
Secretary Runyan is also work,
ing on the details of another meth
cd. He has taken it up with the
various railroads and has laid it be
fore the directors Of the associa
tion.
/ His plan is to have each stat,
or territory in the association fl
one car with the products of tha
state or territory which mos
thoroughly represent it. There
is sufficient variety in the resource.
of the great Southwest for there t.
be no need of duplication. Th'
six states and territories will thu.
fill train which is to make a tour
of the association territory. Lect
urers will accompany it and ths
train will make frequent stops Sc
SO that everybody will have Z
change to see what the Southwest
produces.
