WITH APPROACH OF STATE.
HOOD.

The near approach of statehood
and the removal of restrictions for
Indian Territory is bringing with II
large number of prospectors who
want to purchase land In this section
of the country and settle here. A
prominent real estate dealer was
heard to remark yesterday morning
that his firm has been receiving a
great many letters from parties liv.
ing in various sections of the union
making inquiries concerning the
lands of this country and that a great
many had already arrived and were
being driven over the country In.
specting the lands with a view of
buying Saturday morning this one
firm had two buggies out with mem.
bers of the concern showing several
prospective purchasers the property
under their control and which Is on
the market for sale. In all probabil.
ity, after the next session of con.
grcss such an influx of settlers will
be in this city that the hotels will
be taxed TO their utmost capacity to
care for the guests.
The entire union Is waiting for tho
removal of restrictions. and within
the course of the next few years
where the log hut now stands will
be seen beautiful cottages and well
equipped farms, and the Indian on
his homestead tract will be given an
example OF thrift and enterprise and
follow the same.

JUNCTION PROCEEDINGS.
BOARD uNREPREsENTED.

The board Of school directors do
not seem to be paying any great at
teruun to the temporary injunction
secured by the negroes several days
ago to prevent the moving of the
school house from the old site to the
site selected by the board on Burton
street II looks as II the board in
tends to let the negroes secure the
permanent injunction by default.
Judge John Hinkle was engaged
Saturday morning in taking the testi-
mony in he case, and after having
notified he attorney for the school
board w. l. Cruce-no one attend
ed, and hence only the statements
made by the negroes interested i'm
securing a perpetual injunction to
"stop the movement of the school
house From what can be learned
II seems as II It is the intention of
the school board TO let the negroes
take whatever course they desire in
the premises aud then let them wait
for a school building.

ARDMoRE's CENSUS
GENERAL COMPLAINT THAr EMU.
MeRAToRs WE'RE NOT THOR.
oUGH IN rAElR WORK.

general kick Is going up over
the city because ot the fact that many
citizens are OF the opinion that the
report Of the census enumerators for
Ardmore shows such a small popula.
tion. The report OF the enumerators,
said to be authentic. coming from
headquarters at Guthrie shows Ard.
more to have only S.7i9 inhabitants
This 1t is believed by some is only
a little more than half OF the actual
population OF the city. Residents have
often referred to Ardmore as city
of from $1,000 to $4,000 inhabitants
and TO be told that the town does
not contain 5000 people IL quite a
surprise.
II was OF the utmost Importance
that the town show up to the best ad.
vantage In population as II would have
been OF great benefit to the city In
commercial line. All OF the cities
OF the new state have strained every
effort to bring the population to the
highest mark, and Ardmore has done
likewise.
The enumerators who took the cen.
sus in this city were all citizens of
Ardmore, and 1t was to their advan.
tage to get the names of all persons
possible. They claim they have exert.
ed every effort to secure the names
of every resident in the city, however,
1t Is the general belief that many
names have been left of the census
To the end that all may be enroll
ed, If any person who knows himself
to have been left of the census. by
the enumerators. will call at the Ard.
moreite. or on J. S. Berkshire. tenn
porary secrtary of the Commercial
Club, their names will be forwarded
to Guthrie and added to the census
of Ardmore. ANY person who made
Ardmore their home prior to July
LIST Is entitled to enrolment, and If
he or she has been left off the rolls,
the matter can be rectified by calling
on the Ardmoreite or Mr.. Berkshire
AS a citizen of the city II you
know your name has not been secur
ed by the enumerators IT is your duty
to see that you are registered as a
citizen of the town.
Either phone or call at either place
and the matter will be attended too.

OREGON'S BEST GOAT SHOW
Exhibit of Blooded Au0oros g..
passes That of Any Former
Year.

oregon's eighth annual Anooro
soaU snow opened here Wednesday
morning. larger and better in every
way than any that has been bol9
heretofore. One hundred and sevantv
9 goats are on exhibition, just SO more
1nan were shown last year. A sio-
hlhcant feature of the show this Voc :
is the large number Of registerod al
animals on display. For the q arst
1llie Ia oregon, the thoroughbred
animals outnumber the grade goats
exhibited. Goat breeders are in ot
tendance from all the Valley counties
ana there are goodly delegations from
California, Southern Oregon. Polk,
benton and Washington counties ara
the principal Oregon counties repre.
sented.
John W. Fulton, of Helena Mont
secretary Of the American Anoora
Goat Breeders Association. is in
attendance and is taking an active
part in the meetings Of the breeders
which are held in connection with the
show. 1t was through Mr.. Fulton's
efforts that the sum of 5000 was an
propriated by the National association
for prizes at the Dallas show Mr.
Fulton's private collection of mobair
rugs is among the most interesting
features of the show.
The judges were selected yesterday
morning and began their work in the
afternoon. Thejudges in the thorough
bred class are: George Boothby, Of
Monmouth; y. E. Focht, of Ballston ::
Il. d. Mulkey, of Amity; in the grade
class, E. L. Naylor, of Forest Grove ::
W. Warfeld, Of Alsea, and M. M
Nickel, of McMinnville The judges
are finding it difficult matter to
pass upon the comparative excellence
OF the animals, as competition is keen.
The goats are all in good fleece, and
the younger animals show the wonder
full advancement that has been made
by the farmers in breeding up their
flocks in the last few years.
The Sanford Mills, of Sanford, Me-,
have beautiful display of mohair
goods, consisting of car seat plush,
carriage robes, rugs and other
materials woven entirely from Angora
mohair. The exhibit of chickens,
hogs and sheep is as large as usual,
and divides interest to some extent
with the goat show.
A public meeting was held in the
Courthouse last night. and papers on
the goat industry were read by prom
inent and successful breeders of the
Pacific Coast States. The night meet
ings are a new feature Of the Oregon
show. The show will close this after
noon.

MISS LOU LEWIS DEAD
Although Blind for Over Fifty Years.
Was Cheerful to the End.

After an illness Of several days
from pneumonia, Miss Louisa d
Lewis died at the home of her sister
MRS Fannie Davis, at Philomath,
sunday afternoon at 2I5 o'clock
Funeral services were held Tuesday
morning and burial took place in the
newton cemetery. Miss Lewis was a
uaughter of Mr., and Mrs. William
Lewis early pioneers Of Polk county.
ohe was sister of the late James w
Lewis, of Oak Grove, and Of John Fl.
Lewis, OF Salem. Speaking OF her
deatn, the Corvallis Times says:
Miss Lewis was G6 years of age.
one enjoyed a wide acquaintance,
and, being person Of admirable dis
position, held a warm place in the
hearts OF those with whom she became
IN any way associated. At the age OF
tnlrteen years she became totally
blind from a slight accident, but this
misfortune seemed not to interfere
with an ambition to become a useful
factor OF society. Although the sun
light of her life could not enter
through the windows of the SOUL il
nevertheless in some manner found
its way thither and was refracted up
on her surroundings with unusual
benefcence. She was offered the ad.
yantages Of schools for the blind, and
her accomplishments in which the
sense Of sight is deemed indispensable,
was remarkable in the extreme. Hell
life was a valuable object lesson fol
those to whom misfortune has come,
as we'll as to those in possession oil
all their faculties"
