IN THE CANEBRAKES.
President Roosevelt Will Hunt the
Wild Boar and Panther.

New Orleans, Sept. 21.-Although the
itinerary of the hunting expedition of
President Roosevelt Is not arranged, it
is known that the president will be Of
fered opportunities to campaign in
Louisiana canebrakes where as far as
known no human being has ever made
a permanent habitation and where the
sport in some respects is quite out of
the ordinary. The cane grows to height
of 10 to Is feet and in the autumn is
blown into long windows, leaving some
open alleys between. 1t is necessary to
cut trails across these windrows for the
passage of the dogs.
The hunting will probably be done en-
tirely on horseback. In order to pro-
coed quickly through thickets each
huntsman will carry a double edged
knife with a straight blade nearly
foot long and heavy enough to chop
passage through vines and other OBJ
structing growths. In addition to bear
and boar. a few panthers and occasion
ally wolves are shot in the canebrakes

SHOULD BE STATE SOON
What Remains to Be Done in the
Matter of Oklahoma.

Guthrie, Okla, Sept. 21.-If Presi-
dent Roosevelt issues his proclamation
approving the constitution OF the new
state of Oklahoma, just adopted by its
reason to doubt that he will, state
hood, which has been sought for
eighteen years, will become an actual
ity not later than October "a.
Under the Oklahoma law the vari-
Gus county boards have ten days in
which to canvass the vote and certify
to the state election board here, so
that the results must all be in the
hands of the state board by Septem-
Der 81. As soon as the returns are re-
ceivedi by the state board, that board
must canvass them. decide all con-
tests, and certify the result to the
president in Washington. Unless an
unexpectedly large number Of contests
are fled that work should all be COM
pleted and the certificates started on
their way to Washington in a week.
From the date on which the certi-
fed result of the Oklahoma election
reaches him, President Roosevelt has
twenty days in which to either ap-
prove or reject the proposed constitu-
ton of the new state. If he approves
it and issues proclamation, the entire
state government provided for in the
constitution comes into existence at
once. Prohibition will also become
Immediately effective, and can be en-
forced without any additional enact
ments by the legislature.
That body is to be called together
by the governor, to meet not less than
fifteen nor more than thirty days after
statehood becomes effective. Its first
session will therefore begin some time
between November 9 and November
"a, and may under the constitution
continue for $50 days, although all
other sessions are limited to sixty
days. On account of the great amount
of work which will have to be done by
the first legislature, it will undoubted-
Iy take advantage of the full time al
lowed to it.
