Austin, Tex, April 17.---The per-
manent school funa is still swelling
on account of the redeeming OF bond
| held by that fund of the dlfferen
counties in the state, and the stat
board of education is looking arount
| for investment of this fund. which is
now over 100000.
There has not been day during
this month that two or three counties
in the state have not redeemed some
of their bonds which had been held
by the permanent school fund and
some times as many as ten coun-
ties in one day have redeemed their
bonds The number OF bonds re-
deemed this year has been greater
than ever in the history Of the State
for the same period. This is due 10

BfALL Is APPEALED TO
Several Oklahoma Schools Seebiaa LARGE
Endowment OF Public Lands.

Washington -. G.. April lf--A
great cry has gone mp from the TER
ritory OF Oklahoma against Repre-
sentative Jack Beall Of Texas.
democratic member OF the committee
on territories The cry Is for appeals
Ia Beall and 90 bis constituents 20
get him 10 recede from his position
ing In congress seeking to give 10
the university OF Oklahoma, TO the
preparator school al Watonga. and
20 the college al Shawnee
each quarter section oT land
for school purposes So far Mr.
Beall Is not dismayed by the
avalanche Of letters and kilograms,
but has announced his determination
TO stand firm to the end Oklahoma,
Il seems, has large endow ment OF
public lands for school purposes. He
contende that this land Is for all of
the school children in Oklahoma.
The bill for Shawnee. on which
specially loud appeal has gone up,
proposes TO take a quarter section of
land held in trust for all of the
schools in the territory and give it
for the comparatively few who at
tend the school at Shawnee, He OBJ
iects to the bill on the ground that
such a partitioning of the school
lands of the territory Is not morally
right that if it is done in the case
af a and OKLA N
City, the other territories can ask
the same thing of congress in regard
to their school lands and. further
more, that Oklahoma will soon have
statehood, and, therefore, the ques-
tion Of handling the school fund
represented by public lands should
be left to the people themselves to
determine through their own legis-
lature.
