RIVALRY IN TOWN BOOMING.
Indian Territory Cities Vie With Each
Other For Population and Progress.

Indian Territory Cities Vie With Each
Other For Population and Progress.
In Indian Territory, which is to be
a part of the new state Of Oklahoma,
they know how to build towns. They
know how to boom towns after they
are partly built. That is important
also. Just now an interesting rivalry
is going on among the several big
towns of the territory. This is noticed
particularly in Muskogee and South
McAlester. These two cities are avow-
ed rivals.
Muskogee is the seat Of the Indian
commission, while South McAlester is
the center Of great coal mining sec
ton. For some years past each city
has employed an energetic boomer who,
as secretary of the local commercial
club, has presented the merits and adj
vantages of his town to the outside
public in an attractive manner. Re-
Gently South McAlester sent up and
hired Muskogee's boomer, doubling his
salary, DeCduSC MuShOSCe > pOpuItlllUu
has good deal more than doubled in
five years. Now MuSkogee is making
an extra effort to head off South Nc
AleSter, which is pressing her closely
for premier place as to population.
These Indian Territory people are
proud of " il towns. You cannot find
a man in either of the cities mentioned
who ever lets pass an opportunity to
boast of his home place. Every man
thinks his town is the best on earth.
Every citizen is firmly convinced in his
own mind that his particular town is
TO become the biggest city in the new
state. You can't head off town
whose inha bitants feel that way. 1t
is no more possible to stop the forward
march of town with people like that
than it is to lessen the speed of an
Oklahoma jack rabbit that has passed
out of gun range.

Newspapers are the indicators of n
towns prosperity. If the local news
paper is full of neat display adver-
tisements and local reading notices
the casual visitor will reach the con.
clusion at once that the town is wide
awake. Thus the advertisers help thu
community as well as themselves.

LITTLE IRON
IN THE GALILEE
The Vessel Is Specially Fitted
for Scientific Work
on Magnetism.

When asked for information concern
ing the work being done by the ex-
pedition on the GaIilee of which he
has charge. w. ]. Peters, the repre-
sentative of the Carnegie Institute OF
Washington, said:
f'We have had very successful trip,
and are studying magnetic influences,
doing similar work to that done by the
German and British vessels which have
been sent out for the same purpose.
You will notice that there is very lit
tie iron about this vessel. Her rig
ging is all hemp and, wherever it is
possible, other materials than iron have
been used. For this reason there is
the least deviation in our instruments
that can be found in any records of
a similar trip.
"We are also studying atmospheric
electricity. No, this has no great con-
nection with the use of wireless tele-
graphy, on account of the fact that we
study the effects only in the regions
close to the surface of the water, while
the wireless uses the higher strata of
air.
"Yes, I really am still an employe of
the U. S. Geological survey, as 1 am
on leave from that bureau. The ex-
pedition is under the auGpices of the
Carnegie Institute of Washington, and
there are a large number of govern
ment men interested in the work. We
have on board myself, P. II. Dixie and

WIND STORM CAUSE
Of TELEPHONE TROUBLE

The present trouble a good many
subscribers of the Mutual Telephone
Company are finding in raising cen
trail this week is due, not to any de-
feet in the new switchboard but al
together to the effects of the heavy
windstorm on Sunday night, which
arose coincidental with the beginning
of the use of the new system. So E.
w Congdon, the chief wire puller of
the company states.
In his opinion the new switchboard
is working perfectly and The switches

as could be expected by the girls on
a new system, quicker than formerly
but not so rapidly as will be the case
as soon as the girls get thoroughly

CABLED WARMING Of
POSSIBLE SHANGHAING

Some days ago a cablegram was re-
ceived at the police station by Chief
Taylor from Chief of Police Dinan Of
San Francisco, asking him TO meet the
bark r. p. Rithet and see that one
of her passengers, a Miss Helen Kill
gore, "is not shanghaied to some other
port. The cable also stated that a
letter was following, explaining the
matter. The Rithet arrived yester-
day and Miss Kilgore was notified by
Chief Taylor of the receipt of the
cable. The young lady, a prepossess-
ing girl about twenty-five years old,
professed to be able to throw no light
on the matter, not knowing in what
way she required protection from
shanghaiers or any other persons She
lis here on vacation trip solely, in
company with Mrs. Tilden and two
children, and has booked a return pas
sage on the Rithet. Her trip was
made with the knowledge and consent
of her parents and his nothing signifi-
cant in it.
Her story is fully believed by the
police here, and the receipt OF the let
ter explanatory of the mystifying
cable is being looked forward 20 with
a great deal Of interest, as there
seems to have been a mistake some
where.

AF ono CASE IS
tiled
NOW
Each of the Children to
Receive Thirty Thou
sand Dollars.

. A final settlement has been arrived
at in the snit of Mrs. Carrie B. Riggs
ct al. VS.. Mrs. Julia F. Along and
Others. This is suit brought about
a year ago on behalf of certain OF
Mrs. Afong's daughters to secure 8
construction of the trust deed by which
the late Chun Along conveyed prop
erty in trust for the support and main,
tenanee of his wife and children, by
which it should be declared that Mrs
Along held the income of the prop
erty in trust for the equal benefit of
all the children.
1t was alleged in the bill that Mrs
Along claimed to hold this income un-
encountered with any obligations, and
that she had the right to dispose Of IT
IN any way that she saw fit.
In this suit four of the daughters
1t is understood, favored the conten-
tions of the bill. The others opposed
them or did not take sides. All were
made parties either plaintiff or defend
ant. A demurrer was interposed on be-
half of Mrs. Along by her attorney J.
j. Dunno, which was argued at consid-
cradle length by him, and by R. w.
Breckons and others on the other side.
Judge Robinson overruled the demur-
rsr, filing a written opinion of con-
siderable length in which he compli-
snented very highly the industry and
she erudition displayed in the argu-
nent in support of the demurrer.
Soon after this there began to be
rumors that the case would be com
promised. The time within which an
answer must be filed was extended, and
in fact an answer has not yet been
filed.
1t soon became an open secret that
negotiations for compromise were in
progress, and for some time it has been
known that they were practically COM
plete. They have now been entirely
completed and all necessary docu-
ments to make the compromise COM
plete have been signed. This of itself
has been no light matter to look after,
the number of the parties in interest
being very large, and many of them
living at a distance.
While the exact terms of the COM
promise are not disclosed, it is known
that the essential feature of the COM
promise is that each of the Along chill
dren gets $4,000. The remainder of
the fund which it was sought to con-
troll by the litigation is left to the un-
restrained control of Mrs. Afong.
In carrying out the compromise trans
fers of property will be made and the
5fling for registry of the eonveyances
executed in these transfers may be
expected at any time.
The case at one time promised to
become cause celebre in Hawaiian
Jurisprudence, but this compromise eff
fected viii take it out of that cate

BUILDING ORDINANCE
Of HILO IS DEFECTIVE
Especial Wireless to Advertiser.)

Especial Wireless to Advertiser)
HILO, August 29.-The county ordi-
nance regulating the construction of
buildings is declared to be invalid. No
building permits are now necessary.
A new ordinance will probably be
passed by the Board of Supervisors
next week.
A. r. Gurrey, secretary of the Board
of Fire Underwriters, when visiting
Hilo early this month found the cleo
trie wiring of the town very defective.
He said the worst ranges in Homo
lulu were not so bad as the common
run in Hilos and warned the citizens
that their city front would surely burn
some day if the experience of other
cities counted. Mr.. Gurrey also in
formed them that their fire hazard
was not being improved, within
year or so past several wooden build
ings having been erected which en-
hanced the risks.
In consequence of Mr.. Gurrey's rep
resentations, the Board of Trade ap-
pointed a committee to draft an ordi-
nance to provide building regulations
and for the appointment of a fire
marshal. From the above telegram it
would appear that an ordinance was
drafted which would not hold water

nance,
