New Year. NJ. S. HOLIDAY.
Fifty acres is offered for park if the
gift of the Speer lands is accepted, and
an electric railway line is built to the
college site.
That gift of 300 acres splendid farm

the agricultural college site, is indeed a
generous one.

Site.

There is no scarcity of available and
desirable sites about Americas for the
agricultural college, aside from those
heretofore mentioned. Just east of the
city limits, a mile or more, is the j. W.
H1ghtower farm, level and beautiful
tract and which, it is understood, can
be bought at reasonable price for this
purpose, while not upon the market.
This, with the Sieg place and the Speer
lands rendered as a gift, should afford
opportunity for selection.

z. C. Speer Makes a Tender of 500
Acres Valuable Land Free of All
Cost as a Site for the DIafrict
Agricultural School

to the relief of the local committee of
the Third district agricultural college

located and valuable farm of three
hundred acres, lying beyond Brooklyn

limits of Americas.

Crawford Wheatley.
AS stated, the land offered by Mr..
Speer lies beyond the Stanford planta :
ton, and fronts equal length upon two
of the main public roads of Sumter
county, the farm lying between the
roads to La Crosse and EllavilIe.
1t is no part of the Speer lands lying
out Lee street, north, and formerly of
fered the committee.
The land now rendered is in differ
ent locality altogether, beyond Brook
lyn Heights, and the environment is
all that could be desired. The land is
in high state of cultivation, free of
swamp or waste, and is easily worth
$50 or $25 per acre, it is said.

gift is that the committee expend upon
the college buildings or grounds an
additional amount equal to the pur-
chase money of building site.

MAY BE DEMOCRATIC.
Republicans Are Beginning to Worry
About Oklahoma.

Guthrie, Okla, June 29.-Indian
Territory is divided into thirty court
recording districts equivalent to that
many counties. Fifteen of these dis
tricts are north of the South Canadian
district, in supposed Republican ter
ritory. The Fourth and Seventh dis
tricts. however, are suspected of hav-
ing Democratic majorides. South of
the river the Fifteenth district is the
only one in which the Republicans are
believed to have a fighting chance. be-
cause Of the heaving mining popula-
ton. This would give the Republicans
fourteen Of the thirty districts.
An Indian Territory Republican
who was in washington a greater part
of last winter said today that If the
constitutional convention districts were
formed according to population, he
was unable to see how the Repub1i-
cans could carry more than twelve of
the ffty-five districts in Indian Ter
ritory.
This may not be cheering news to
Oklahoma Republicans he said. but
I believe I know what I am talking
about"
