OBITUARY..

On Monday June 18th, at
about the noon hour, the sad
messenger we call death entered
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Jas.
Turpen, and claimed the spirit of
their little daughter, Eula, aged
three years. She was sick only
a few days and all that loving
hands could do was done to allie
viate the pain of the little suffer-
er, but God, who cannot err,
was pleased to take her from
among this world of sin and pain
to a place of eternal Joy. 1t
seems hard to give up the little
ones who make home so happy.
but our heavenly Father does all
things well.
She was a bright child, poss-
essing a pleasing disposition, and
was a great deal of company for
her grandparents, who are grow
ing old. But bereaved ones, let
this thought comfort you, little
Eula is now with the angels,
free from pain, sorrow, or death,
and if you obey God you will see
her again. Strive to meet her
over there. Funeral services
were conducted by brother Ma
than Murrell Tuesday afternoon,
after which the remains were
laid away to await the resurrec-
ton. SALLIE BRYANT,

obtained by milling the seed
namely, oil, meal, and hulls. ssThe
meal and hulls are extensively
used in fattening stock; and the
oil, formerly used chiefly as an
adulterant in oleomargarine, and
olive oil, is coming to be recog-
nized as itself a standard food
product of value for culinary and
medicinal purposes.
Still another special line of in
dustry with the brightest of
prospects in poultry raising.
Here are found the ideal condi-
tions of favorable climate and
abundant ready food. All domes-
ticated varieties thrive we'll, and
their raising is a matter of COM
parative ease. There is a steady
market, easily reached and at
good prices, for live and dressed
fowls as we'll as for eggs.
There are at all seasons abund-
ant opportunities for the laborer
to find employment at good
wages. New enterprises are con-
stantly being started and old
ones extended, all requiring
mans labor, mental or physical,
skilled or unskilIed.
An undisputable evidence of the
prosperity of Indian Territory is
found in the highly satisfactory
condition of it's banks, both Ma
tional and Territorial. The bank
ing facilities of the Territory
have kept pace with it's develop
ment, and are ample for meeting
all requirements of trade. A
paid up capital of at least $1O,-
600 is necessary, even in the
smallest towns, before q Terri
torial bank can be organized. In
Indian Territory there are now
142 National banks, with S27,-
600, 200 resources. In 1903 there
were 232 Territorial banks in
operation with more than 81, 900, :
900 resources. The combined re-
sources of all the Indian Territory
banks amounts to $34, 100000 as
against SAL, 900, 900 for all banks
of Oklahoma.
We have a number of good
private institutions of learning
in Indian Territory. The COM
mon schools are supported by
subscription in all the nations
except the Cherokee, where they
are maintained by interest on
government bonds which this
nation holds.
Success to the News. My best
regards for the Editor, and with
best wishes for my friends,
remain. Yours Respectfully,
L. F. HOLIDAY.

FROM INDIAN TERRITORY.

Maysville, Indian Territory,
June IL, 1906.
Editor, News:
! Some time ago I wrote letter
for the News describing Okla.
/ homa. shall try to write some
/ thing about Indian Territory
which you may print if it will be
of interest to the many readers
of your welcome paper.
The Indian Territory was &C.
quired from France in 1903, as a
part of the louisiana Purchase. "
In 1884, a part of the Purchase
was set apart by Congress, for
the home of Indian tribes who
have given up their homes in
other parts of the Union. About
one-fourth of the Indians in the
United States now live in the
Territory. With them live many
whites and ne yroes who have
been adopted by the Indians. The
Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws,
Chickasaws, and Seminoles are
the most highly civilized. They
till the soil and raise cattle. The
Indian tribes have organized gov
ernments and are educated hav-
ing a news paper published in
their language.
The general surface of Indian
Territory is that of a plain, un-
dulating and furrowed by numer-
GUS streams, along most of which
extend broad bottom lands and
these gradually rise into hills or
rolling prairies.
The total area of Indian Ter
ritory is 81, 400 square miles and
is about equal in area to the con-
bined areas of Connecticut, Mas
sachuetts, New Hamshire, New
Jersey, and Rhode Island.
In 1900 there was a population
of 100000 including the Indians
which numbered 5000.
The climate here is mild in
winter and pleasantly tempered
in summer by Gulf breezes, the
nights being always cool and re-
freshing.
The soil is generally a rich,
dark, decomposed sandstone, ia
Gle to the pillow. The character
of the soil is such that it retains
moisture, while the surface be-
coming dry and broken form a
kind of mulching that not only
prevents evaporation but yields
back easily to plant life the
moisture beneath.
There has not been a year
of disaster for it's crops, though
ther have been partial drouths
and short yields of corn or other
cerals at long intervals.
The fierce yet cheerful energy
of the settlers, the peculiar balm
mess of the air, the stimulating
attitudes, the stretch of sunlight
hours, the modernity of farming
methods, the wonderous blending
of young settlers from every
state in the Union, all these are
the causes which must have en-
tered into the swift transfgura-
ton of this Territory, for they
are all here, accenuated and en-
HANGED by the proof that stares
at you from the now greening
farm-lands and that huns in
your ears in the busy streets OF
hundreds of busting cities and
| towns.

ticeable to the stranger.
The character of the citizen
ship is good, and crime and law
lessness are much less in this
Territory than in many older
members of the Union.
"The full-blood Indians are
fast disappearing, the spurred
and leathered cowboy is but a
legendary myth with the new
race, for fences are now a net
across the Territory and the old
cattle trails are grass grown be-
sides almost 5000 miles of rail-
road"
The raising of live stock is one
of the most profitable pursuits.
Cattle, horses, mules, hogs, and
Angora goats are raised as cheap
ly as in any state. The livestock
interests have undergone a mark
ed change. Formerly the cattle
ranged at will over immense
areas controlled by individuals or
corporations. Herding on the
old plan has almost disappeared,
giving place to the raising of
stock on small ranches or farms.
The result is smaller herds of
finer grade. The Texas long,
horn of the past has given away
to the thoroughbred and ev-
licences of grading can be seen
in every locality. The Hereford,
shorthorn and ever popular Jer-
sey can be seen OF every hand.
The short cold season has always
been an important factor in the
wintering over of stock in Indian
Territory and Oklahoma. Much
less feed is required and the
stock come out better in the
spring than in any of the North
ern cattle districts. The nutri-
tious grasses that grow so abund-
ant in the higher altitudes-the
buffalo grass, the native blue
stem, CANA, bermuda, and mos
quite becoming self-cured on
the stem at the time of frost,
have often proved to contain
sufficient nourishment not only
to sustain the life of vast herds,
but actually to fatten them dur
ing the winter months.
In quality and value the horses
and mules used in the Territory
will compare very favorably
with those of any state. There
is a good demand for horses Of
medium weight and good form
and action. Heavy form work
mules are much in favor, and
some fine specimens have been
raised. They command excellent
prices and are always in demand.
No other state or territory
equals Indian Territory in the
opportunities it affords for pro-
fit in raising of hogs for market.
The reason is found in the ready
abundance of cheaply grown food
which is available at all seasons
Of the year. It is safe to say that
pork can be produced here at
shout one-half the cost of pro-
ducing it in the Eastern and
Northern States. Disease among
hogs is almost unknown.
Angora goats thrive here, and
raising them will undoubtedly be-
come a settled industry. Not
only are they valuable for mar
ket while young, but their fleece
is a source of revenue.

STATE LECTURERS DUTIES
Chiefly For Improvement of Lecture
work In Subordinate Oranges.

Especial Correspondence
believe the duty of the state grange
lecturer should be chiefly for the inn
provement of the lecture work in sub
ordinate granges-planning that work
in a measure, suggesting methods, reg
llarly furnishing topics for discourse,
preparing special day programmes,
etc, and in Il general way assisting the
subordinate lecturers in making their
work as effective as possible. Many
personal letters should be written
where Il weak lecturer is located, and
Mt all times let the lecturers feel that
the state lecturer is their servant IN
time of need.
Secondarily comes the field work
through picnic addresses, Pomona
grange talks, lecturers conferences
and occasionally Il visit to a subordi
working order. This field work gives
the much needed personal touch to the
lecture work. although we hold that OF
the two the printed page and personal
letter can best do our duty. The work
Of organizing oranges should not be eX-
pected of a state lecturer unless it be
where comparatively few oranges eX
list and the combined force of grange
officials in the state is needed to eX-
tend the organization. The state lee.
turer should never lose sight of the
fact that the greatest progress our
Order can make must come through
the subordinate grange, where the rank
and file of members are to be helped.
