The First Session is Being Held at
Wichita Today

WICHITA, kan, Nov. 16.--Dele-
gates from leading commercial bodies
trafic bureaus and civic organiEa-
lions In nearly all the states and ter
ritories west of the Missouri are TAX
ing part In the inland convention In
Wichita today. Delegations are here
from all the larger inland cities and
towns Of the southwest. the object
of the gathering being for the pur-
pose OF working against appropria-
tons for so-called navigable streams
which are incapable of development
as practical waterways. II 10 alleged
that many OF these appropriations are
asked for by communities which
have no natural opportunities for
waterway transportation, but which
hope to make purely artificial show
Ing for the purpose OF securing rail-
way freight advantages over inland
cities. based on alleged water COM
petition.
Plans for ending this abuse are
being discussed by the delegates at
today's convention. Resolutions win
be passed asking that congress avoid
appropriations for waterways when
actual transportation OF freight on
such waterways Is not practicable.
II Is contended that in a great many
cases railroad rates are based on
water competition that is purely the
oretical. As case In point, Il Is
alleged that not for many years has
car OF -four been shipped by water
from Minneapolis TO Galveston, yet
gives the gulf city a lower rate on
-four from Minneapolis, hauled en-
tirely by rail. than is given Dallas.
Fort Worth and other inland cities
Of Texas, despite the fact that the
-four passes through these cities en-
route to Galveston.
The convention will petition con-
gress to amend the interstate COM
merce law In such a way as to allie
viate the present freight rate dis
ordinations against inland cities
brought about by alleged water COM
petition which does not exist. The
delegates announce themselves In ia
vor of all practical waterways Inn
provements. but that they are OPP
posed TO the many chimerical schemes
now being fostered through the In
fuence OF certain congressman.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
With the presidential proclama-
dion, of which the foregoing Is the
concluding paragraph, Oklahoma
was today admitted as the forty-sixth
state in the Union. The new state
includes Oklahoma and Indian terri
tories. Oklahoma proper was organ
lied as a territory May 2, 1890, and
was formerly part of Indian Terri
tory. 1t has an area of $1,000 square
miles and in 1900 its population was
39S.331. Indian Territory has an
area of 31,40O square miles and It's
population in 1900 was $4,000. c..
N. Haskell, democrat, will be the first
governor of the new state and Will
be inaugurated today at Guthrie
All the state officers, and nearly all
the congressman and state legislat-
ors, are Democrats, and both repre-
sentatives of the new state in the
United States Senate will be of that
political faith.
The proclamation Of President
Roosevelt admitting Oklahoma to
statehood is the first of the kind he
has ever issued, as no state has been
admitted since Utah, on January 4.
1896. Instead of being written in
long hand on parchment and decor
ated with fancy scrolls, as all for
mer state papers of this kind have
been, the proclamation was written
with a typewriter. In its phraseol-
ogy the Oklahoma document bears a
close resemblance to that issued by
President Cleveland in admitting
Utah.
The signing of the constitution by
President and the issuance of his
proclamation today were the last
steps in the long fight for statehood
made by the people of the territories

PLAN TO MOVE
WHEAT CROP
Will Bring $3O,OOO,OOO to Inland
Empire

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 16.-The
National Bank of Commerce last
night submitted to the wheat inter-
ests of the Inland Empire a plan for
moving the wheat of that region
which If adopted, will result in the
immediate starting of the wheat on
its way to Europe and the orient by
way of Puget sound.
A meeting of the grain exporters
will be held at Tacoma tomorrow
morning, to which the representa-
tives of the wheat interests from
across the Cascades will submit the
banks proposition and ask that the
exporters meet the conditions offer
ed by the bank and SO start the $780,
100000 crop of the Inland Empire
on it's way across the water. This
plan whereby the northwest banks
will get assistance that may be desir-
ed to set in motion this valuable
wheat crop was formulated at the re-
quest of U. K. Loose, representing the
wheat interests, and after the officials
of the National Bank of Commerce
had carried on telegraphic cores
pondence with their agents in New
York, beginning in the morning and
extending through the day.
The fundamental element in the
project is the exchange for wheat of
sight drafts to be accepted in New
York within 10 days of the date of
the delivery of the wheat to the ex-
porter. Ordinarily the wheat is
paid for in sight drafts collectable
at London. which very much prolongs
the period during which accounts
for the shippers have to be carried
by the local banks.
r. r. Spencer, first vice president
of the National Bank of Commerce.
stated that If the exporters would
agree to this proposition for the pay
ment of wheat shipments by 15-day
sight drafts on New York, he would
undertake to supply the necessary
cash and credit for the Inland banks
which would enable them to get the
wheat on its way to Europe.
Mr. Loose recently went on a tour
of inspection through the wheat
heds of Adams, Lincoln and Douglas
counties. Returning from this trip
today he conferred at once with the
local bankers with the results stated
above.
After the meeting of the export
ers tomorrow Mr.. Loose will submit
the results of his efforts to the COM
mittee of the bankers from the wheat
section. He stated tonight that he
had little doubt they would find ii
one which would enable them to start
the wheat on it's way to Puget sound

 "On every plantation you will find quaint reproduction of Japanese viii lage, the houses very like those, of the orient. Japanese women in klmonos go- ing about their tasks. All the Japanese boys and girls go to Japanese school from o'clock until in the morning. F Then they attende all. American public school from 9 o'clock until in the afternoon. The moment they are free they hurry back to Japanese school and work there until or 6 o'clock in the evening. Imagine school day that lasts from in the morning until dark! Yet these brown children thrive on that system"
 The same writer describes seeing regiment of tiny Hawaiians, Ameri- cans, Britons, Germans, Portuguese, Scandinavians. Japanese, Chinese, Por- to Ricans and 'heaven knows what else" drawn up for q salute to the American flag, which they gave with great enthusiasm, at the same time chanting in thc'r childish voices:
 "We give our heads and our hearts to God anu our country. One country! One language! One flag!'
 Governor George R. Carter of Ha- wai, who is naturally in the eye on ac- count of the relat.o on of the Japanese problem in his territory to the general question in the whole United States, was appointed to his post by President Roosevelt in 1904. He is forty years Of age and was born in Honolulu, but was educated at Yale university. from which he graduated in 1888. He was famous as an athlete while at New Haven, playing on the football team and rowing in the crew He was for time in business in Seattle. but re- turned to his native island and became manager for tine Hawaiian Trust con- pany.
