In the Modern Woodman,

In the Modern Woodman, a
paper published in the in erests
of that society, we find a some
what extended letter from Viii
liam ]. Bryan, from which we
clip the following splendid testi-
monial to that organization,
which we feel sure applies equally
well to a host OF others. 1t is
printed because it supplements
an article in our last weeks issue
on this subject and puts in such
good language some things that
should be planted in the hearts
Of all,t people:
There are still other good rea-
sons for my faith in fraternal ben

New Rates Don't Satisfy

Calexico business men are not sat isfled with the new rates proposed by the telephone company. The idea of a flat rate of $2 per month and a charge of 5 cents for switches does not meet with entire appreciation and at recent meeting of the chamber of commerce the secretary was instruct ed to correspond with the other com mercial bodies in the valley. advising delay in signing up contracts on that basis.

A CONCISE STATEMENT
The Present Commissioner of the Land Office Seems Inclined to Answer a Question
 So 1t May be Understood by Anyone

The filing of applications on pieces of land in the Imperial valley has been practice lndulged in by many people, and there has always been more or less question as to the efficiency ot such filings, and what was required to be done upon the land after one had filed an application to file. A letter written by Mrs. L. V. Slsson and the answer thereto clears the matter up to quite an extent. In fact, 1t Is the most direct answer from the depart ment 1t has been our pleasure to read. The commissioner speaks plainly and to the point.
 The following Is the letter seeking information and the reply received In answer:

Washington, D C., May 2l, 'o7. Mrs. L V. Sisson,
 Santa Ana, California.
 Madam: In reply to your letter of May 9, you are informed that the right to enter desert land under the desert land laws is not initiated by settlement and residence on the land entered is not required.
 In the case of desert lands in the Imperial valley, withdrawn from entry pending resurvey. the local officers have been instructed to receive appli- cations and file same in the order in which received.
 When the lands are reopened to en- try these applications will be taken up in the order of their filing and appli- cants given an opportunity to complete their entries. The rights of an appll- cant, first in time, will be as fully pro- tected against adverse claimants as though he had an entry It is not, however, necessary for an applicant to make the expenditures and improve ments required of entrymen until the entry is finally allowed, as the entry will date from the allowance thereof
 Very respectfully R. A. Ballinger, Commissioner.

RAISED IN ADVANCE
Unique Record Made by CalexiCO M.
 F. Church

A wonderful record has been estab- lished by the Calexico Methodist church. When last Sunday came 1t was found that the entire amount ot money necessary for the completion of the church, to pay all expenses, in cludng tlnting of the walls and other work yet to be done on the handsome structure, had been subscribed and 1t was possible to go through the entire dedication day without asking for a cent of money for this purpose. It Is the only instance of such a record ever being made in any church as far as To- cal knowledge goes and the Calexico church will hold the palm until other information is at hand.
 The dedication was great success The spirit of the day was one ot thank fitness ard satisfaction at the reallza- ton of the dreams and plans of the faithful members of the church.
 pr. Pitner, presiding elder. preached a powerful dedicatory sermon. The music. under the direction of Miss McWilliams. with Miss Bragg at the organ. was good. Visiting ministers had parts on the program during the day. At noon everyone joined In a big basket dinner.
 The dedicatory service proper was held at the afternoon service and was impressive. Rev Chas. Wentworth preached at this service.
 The EpWorth League meeting was led by Rev. R. H, Paddock. of Sls- bee, At the evening service Rev. G, c. Skafte, of Holtvlle, preached.
 Calexico Is 10 be deeply congratu- lated upon the completion of this church. Rev. w. H. Hardness, past or, has worked hard and Is greatly es- teemed by his congregatlon.-Calexlco Chronicle.

FORCED TO CLOSE.
Oldest Financial Institution at Sa-
pulpa Forced to the Wall.
Special to The chieftain.

Special to The Chieftain.
Sapulpa, l. T., Nov. I3-The Farm
ers' and Merchants bank, with dep Is.
its of nearly s5OO.OOO, and the Oldest
financial Institution In the city, failed
to open its doors this morning, which
naturally created a great deal Of ex-
citement. The failure to open as usual
caused men to gather in small groups
and discuss the matter, but in the
main everybody accepted the situation
as cheerfuIly as sthe circumstances
would permit.
The cause of the failure is the direct
result OF the money stringency existing
throughout The country and the re-
fusal Of their corresponding banks to
to turn over their deposits. The de-
mand, even with restrictions, for cur
rency was so great that the bank
found it impossible to keep on in this
manner, and aftera hasty consultation
1t was decided to appoint trustee
and receiver and put every dollar Of
property behind the institution.
The cashier, B. B. Burnett, vice
president John Durmott and B. c.
Burnett are men Of wealth and vast
property holdings, and they state that
their every dollar is behind the bank.
No attempt has been made to make
a run on the other banks of the city.

EASY MONEY
Young Man From New Franklin,
Mo-, Was Separated From His
Roll.

Mnskogee, l. T., Nov. PA good
looking young farmer from New
Franklin, Mo-, appeared at the police
station at noon today with tale of
woe calculated to wiring tears from
the eyes Of the most unsympathetic.
Young Blume says that when he
left Parsons this morning on the
southbound Katy Flyer, a man ap-
preached him and introduced himself
as a Muskogee lumber merchant, He
soon found out that young Blume
was bound for Muskogee, whereupon
he began to unfold his troubles He
had a sick girl on the train and he
just had to get together s65 before he
got to Muskogee He had plenty of
money, but, Of course, he could not
draw it on train running sixty-tive
miles an hour; even John d. might be
financially embarrassed under the same
circumstances. The long and the
short of it was. "Would Mr.. Blume
lend him the 1852"
Mr.. Blume would; in fact, he was
glad to be Of assistance to anyone who
was on train with sick daughter.
He skinned the s65 off a fat roll. The
stranger was most entertaining until
the train passed Wagner, then he
disappeared as completely as if the
earth had swallowed him up. When
Blume got to Muskogee he began
search for his man.

UP BY GAS
Six Persons Injured in Explosion at
Kansas City--Woman Jumps From
Ladder Into Arms of Firemen.

Kansas City, Mo, Nov l3-A big
basement full Of gas, exploding under
the Garland block, Seventh street and
Woodland avenue, injured six persons,
necessitated the rescue by tiremen of
one woman from a room four stories
from the ground, and, blowing win
dows to atoms, exposed eleven families
to the icy wind. It was $3.50 o'clock
yesterday morning, and flames and
smoke belched up through the open
halls in that end OF the Garland block,
compelling the escape Of the inmates
through windows to porches. A leak
allowed 40, 900 cubic feet Of gas to pack
in basement Of the building, which
exploded when it touched the furnace
fires.
The battle with the resultant fire,
which it took the city's tiremen over
two hours to win, was the closing en-
gagement Of twenty-hour cold
weather siege at the Garland block, in
which Kansas natural gas, coming
from far beneath the prairies, once
oceans bed, matched itself against
property rights. human intelligence,
mechanical skill and the gas company
"a corporation.
