amount of plant food and moisture in
the soil.
The trees come into bearing when
planted three or four years and from
that time bear continuously if given
good care. The nuts are produced in
large panicled clusters and somewhat
resemble the common butternut or
white walnut, except that they are
slightly smaller and more nearly ovate
in form.

MORE LAND FOR SCHOOLS.
Governor Frantz Locates Additional
10000 Acres Under Grant.

Governor Frantz is in receipt of
decision by the secretary of the in
terror to the effect that under the
hood bill, all of sections 13 in every
part Of the territory which had not
been filed on or otherwise disposed
of previous to June 16, 1906, are grant
ed to the state for the benefit of the
college fund.
Sections 13 in the Cherokee strip.
the Wichita, Kiowa, Comanche and
Apache reservations and Greer coun-
ty were reserved from settlement at
the time that these counties were
opened, these sections being held for
the benefit of the college fund of the
future state
In old Oklahoma, the Sac and Fox,
Iowa, Pottawatomie, Cheyenne and
ArapahOe reservations and Beaver
county sections 13 were not reserved
and were open to settlement. Under
the provisions of section 8 of the
Statehood act, however, all sections
13 in any of these reservations or
counties which were not filed on up
to June 16 go to the state for the col
lege fund.
This grant is entirely Independent
OF the special grant of 1,050,0O0 acres
OF land made to the individual col
leges by the Statehood act, and gives
the state about 10000 acres of land
in addition to that previously reserved
for the college fund.

INVESTIGATE CONDITIONS.
Congressman kIepper Of Missouri
Makes Study of Needs,

TULSA: Congressman Frank M.
Klepper, of the third Missouri dis
trict, has been making a personal in
vestigation of the conditions and i'm
mediate needs of the Indian Territory
In an interview he said that he ex-
poets soon after the first of the year,
as the result of recent investigation
Of the senate committee on Indian
affairs. some very beneficial legsla-
ton, particularly for Indian Territory
will be introduced in the senate. AS
a member Of the committee on terri
tories he wishes to be in possession
of knowledge gained by personal in
vesiigation that he may the more in
telligently champion such measures as
he believes greatly needed when they
come before the house.
NJ" Klepper was greatly impressed
with the fact that the cities and towns
in Indian Territory are so far in ad-
vance of the country. This, however,
he knows to be due to the stringent
re"trictions on Indian lands, which
has had the result Of keeping settlers
away and will continue to do so until
after change for the better Is made.
Mr.. klepper favors the removal of al
restrictions except as refer to home
steads Of full bloods.

ADVERTISE NEW STATE.
Meeting Called to Arrange for OKLA
homa Exhibit at jamestown.

OKLAHOMA CITY: An invitation
has been sent out by the Oklahoma
Federation of Commercial and Indus
trial organizations of the two terri
tories calling general meeting In
this city on January 3, for the pur-
pose of formulating plans for the
proper representation of the state of
Oklahoma at the jamestown exposi-
tion, which Is to be held this year
from April until November.
A bill will be presented to the first
legislature asking that an appropria-
tion OF $4,000 be made to defray the
expenses of an exhibit, but as the leg
islature will not he IN session in time
to act on this matter, the funds will
necessarily have to be secured by pop
ular subscription, to be refunded II
the legislature will make an appropri-
alton for the purpose.
It Is desired to have Oklahoma rep
resented by a comprehensive exhibit,
as the principal patronage of the ex-
position will be from eastern states,
where so little Is known of fair Okla
homa, and 1t Is worth great deal to
the interests of this state to show the
eastern population of the United
States that We have development
equal to any section OF the east or
west.

planned to her uncle, King William
that some ladies of the court in Ma

entertain English friends who were
not of the royal family, her uncle ad-
vised her to "be a sensible girl" and
said, do not make enemies. Respect
peoples stupidities when necessary.
In time, II you are wise, you will have
everything your own way" Whether
the king ever said this or not, it is

the past numerous protests have been
made against the manner in which
works OF fiction have been illustrated.

they were not adapted to his crea.

dickens took little advice from his
contemporaries, though he did use
many OF the peculiarities of his

counterpart in the realism OF our day,

Nickleby, while he made Leigh Hunt
masquerade as Harold Skinpole. The
dwarf, Miss Moucher, was taken from

incensed over the fantastic dress in
