WITHHOLDING LANDS
Complaint Made to the President by
oregon Senator That Southern
Pacific Railway is Holding
Three Million Acres.

Washington. ID. c., May 90 Sen
ator Bourne of Oregon again consult
ed with the President today about
the case of the Southern Pacific
Railway company which he charges
is holding up approximately 3,000,-
900 acres OF public land, much oil
which is i'm Oregon, that should be
opened to settlement. The senator
says that grants covering the land
which originally were for 100000
acres were made with the under
standing that the land should be
opened up to settlement at a nomi-
nal price per acre. A great deal of
1t, he says, was sold for SIS an acre
and half OF it was withheld from
sole altogether. In the meantime,
the senator says, the progress of the
country is being retarded and he
intimate that the railroad company
is holding the land for speculative
purposes. Mr. Bourne Is urging that
legal proceedings be instituted TO
compel the company to dispose of
the land. The department of justice
has for some time had under con
sideration the question OF certain
lands held by the Southern Pacific
Railroad company in Oregon under
grants to railroad companies which
have been absorbed by the Southern
Pacific. A preliminary report on the
matter has been made by Nathan V
Harlan, United States attorney for
the fh.rd division of Alaska, who
has been engaged in the investiga
tion while absent from his post OF
duty on account of III health. Mr.
Harlan will now return to Alaska
and the attorney general will desig
nate b. Townsend, assistant United
States attorney at Fargo. n. D.. &c
carry on the work II Mr.. Townsend
can arrange to leave his official du
ties for that purpose.

NJ. L. TURNER'S PLATFORM.
An Editor Comments Upon II and
Shows Its Strong Points.


The Texola Herald of May II com.
ments editcrially as follows upon MIR
Turner's platform:
In last weeks Texola Herald we
published the platform Of hon. NJ. l..
Turner. Of Oklahoma City. candidate
Tor q. 5. Senate from the Oklahoma
side OF the new state. ON the odito
rial y, 70 of the same issue we com
mcnted briefly on five of the most
important planks, according to our
ideas found in the platform. There
are other planks in this platform of
great importance to the public gen
orally Granting authority to the in
terstatc commerce commission to
ascertain the actual value by inven-
tory, Of the railroads of the country,
for the purpose of asccrtaining the
true basis for fixing rates. is plank
in Mr. Turner's platform which will

well as the man who pays local
freight. has been robbed ON freight
rates long enough and desires
change Another plank in Mr..
Turner's platform We should not lose
track OF is: Reduction of tariff on
roccssarics Of life and rc.adjustment
OF schedules to basis which will
operate against the formation and
protection Of trusts" Yes. indeed,
the high tariff has protected the
trust hogs, aud they have been fat
toning Cn the public long enough. A
change is needed ana the sooner tie
better. His 10th plank "a more rig
id and effective law against railroad
rebates and determinations, which
will provide severe penalties for the
guilty" is something this country has
needed very badly foi many years.
The shipper who secures rebates
gets special privileges which do not
belong to him. and what the railroad
losos on him is made Lack from the
little shipper, by charging him
higher freight rate than the big ship
per. They should all be made to pay
the same freight rate with no re-
bate to any man. Mr.. Turner also IA
vors the nomination of all candidates
from constable up, by the primary
system. the only system wherein the
vote of the boys from the forks OF the
crock will count as much as the rich
capitalists vote. National encourage

plank found In Mr.. Turner's platform.
What farmer have We in any part OF
the United States who is not interest

which has been sadly neglected in
Oklahoma, and we are pleased to see,
at least. one man aspiring 10 the Unit

this line. Because OF the superiority
OF Mr. Turner's platform, We shall
take pleasure in noticing a number OF
other planks contained therein next

ARpMoRE PROOF.

Miss s. Hollis. dressmaker OF il2
South Washington street. Ardmore, l.
T.. says: My admiration OF Doan's
Kidney Pills has sreatly increased
since first recommended them in our
local papers. which was in 1902, after
they had cured me OF very annoying
backache. something which bothered
me when | sat over my work. The
pain would shoot up in my shoulders
and would often get up OF a morn
ing tired and unrefreshed. To any one
who may be troubled in a like manner
my advice is. go to w y. Frame
drug store, get a box of Doans Kidney
Pills and give them fair trial. The
benefit obtained from them will be
surprisingly beneficial.

THE MARKET STRONG.

Kansas City Gets Big Receipts Mon
day and Tuesday and Good Prices.
Kansas City Stock Yards, April q.
The liberal run OF $4,000 cattle yes
terday and 5000 today has failed to
injure the market on killing grades
in the least, in fact the market is
strong and active on them today. ex-
cept that heavy steers move a trifie
slowly There is a phenomenal de-
mand from all sources for killing cat
tie, and the gain Of to IS cents Sc
cured last week in the face Of a lib
eral run Of $4,000 cattle has more
than been held this week. Toppy
steers are scarce, the best here today
selling at $500, except one fancy steer
at $3.50, and the highest sale last
week at S6.O5, although S6.15 was bid
for one lot Of steers that were for
warded TO Chicago by the owner,
where they sold Thursday at S6.35.
Bulk Of steers are selling at the high
est figures Of the year at $500 to
S5.15, including many steers weighing
around 1000 pounds. Cows and heif-

ably lower than week ago, selling at
$S-75 to $3.50 In spite Of the extra
good market on killing cattle, country
grades are much lower than a week
ago, medium class thin stock steers
Buyers have been kept at home by
farm work for the last week or two,
and the high prices Of a week ago cur
tailed the demand. which left many
cattle in the hands Of traders at the
END OF last week, and many bargains
are available this week in all classes
StOckers range from S3-75 to S5-25.
