provements enumerated. The board
asked the council to consider all the
facts presented, to be as liberal as
possible. While disposed to make the
largest possible provisions for the
schools, the aldermen did not think
there was any way to meet all the
requirements, in view Of the financial
condition Of the city and the other de.
mands upon the revenue.
Dr. Brown stated to a reporter that
while the estimates presented to the
board represented the actual needs Of
the schools, he thought, by cutting
out some items and reducing others, it
would be possible to get along with
$4,000 for improvements and $685.
900 for running expenses,
A large increase in enrolment is
expected next year, especially in view
Of the fact that the new constitution
contains a provision for compulsory
school attendance Last year the
enumeration Of school children in the
district was about 27O0 while the
actual enrolment in the schools was
approximately 100. All the rooms
were taxed to the utmost and it was
necessary to use the library Even if
arrangements were made for new
buildings, it would be impossible to get
them ready for six months or more
and some temporary provisions would
have to be made for additional room.
Mr.. Temple, chairman of the finance
committee, said this morning, "There
is no one who is more in favor Of good
schools than I, but ! do not think we
should attempt to vote more bonds till
we get statehood. We are passing
through critical period now and the
council must do some close figuring.
If we should build, would favor
about $4,000 ward building which
could also be used BY the high school
tin we are able to afford more ade-
quate building"

absurd Of many absurd things brought
into this case by the learned counsel

foundation for his argument of con-
spiracy, pointed out that Orchard went

Washington, July Homestead
ing has about run its course in Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Oklahoma. During
the past three months only about l.
500 people made homestead entries on
public land there. A few years ago
that many entries would be made
in most any one Of the dozen or so
land Offices of that section. The
greater activity is now shown in
Southwestern Kansas and Western
Oklahoma, the land Offices at Dodge
City and Woodward alone showing
more entries than for all the other
land Offices combined.
The Topeka district has practically
done no business during the past
quarter, according to reports to the
general land Office. Only four cash
entries and four original entries were
filed and four final proofs taken. The

Guthrie land Office made even a worse
showing than Topeka. The Lawton
Office reported no business except fil-'
ings on homesteads in the "Big Past
ure," which were auctioned off to the
highest bidder last spring. FL Reno
reports 104 cash entries, twenty-four
entries and no final proofs. Alva re-

But Woodward still shows signs Of
life. Its land Office reports 434 cash

ninety-six cash entries, 586 original

to be as good as at Dodge City, made
poor showing. It reports nineteen
cash entries, 116 original entries and
forty-two finals.
The only land office in Missouri is
located at Springfield, and it reports
223 cash entries, 1876 originals and
forty-seven finals. These homesteads
were all taken in the southern part
Of the state-the mountainous coun-

heve that he was in any way connected
with the crime.
1t appears that Mr.. Frey purchased
the hotel, which was valued at about
S350O, last January and leased It to
A. W. Frederick, who ran it up tc
July 9, when it was leased to Mrs.
Morris for a period Of one year. The
latter, who came from Texas, took
charge the same day The fire started
about three o'clock on the morning Of
the 18th, and Mr.. Frey being in
Chiekasha, received the news by tele-
phone and went to Duncan on the af-
ternoon Of the same. Everything in
dicated that it was a clear case Of
arson and soon Mr.. Frey and Mrs.
Morris were connected with it. It
seems that the only evidence against
the former, brought out in the trial,
was the fact that he had renewed an
insurance policy Of $1,000 on the
building on July 16 and that he had
known the other defendant before she
came to Duncan.
Mr.. Frey has lived in this country
80 years and during about Is years Of
this time was deputy marshal, He
has always been recognized as a
strictly honorable man and his stand
ing in the community has been the
best This is the first time he has ever
been accused Of anything dishonor-
able.

The public schools need S125,000
for new buildings and equipment and
$4,000 for maintenance next year.

scented the needs Of the schools in de-
tail and Mr.. Jones, Mr.. Spencer and
Mr.. Galloway, all members Of the

should be raised. For the running
expenses Of the school, the estimate is
$4,000 for nine-months term WHICH
will require about six-mill levy on
she present valuation.
There was a free exchange Of opin-
ions between the board and council and
great deal Of Information was
brought out concerning the condition
and needs Of the schools. The alder

ments made BY the various members

GOING UP
BIG JUMP IN THE COST OF LIVING
WORRYING MAINLAND HOUSE
WIVES.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13.-Here is
how prices of foodstuffs has jumped
within the last twelve months.
Flour has increased $3.50 a barrel.
Onions have jumped 80 cents to 81
per hundred pounds.
Sugar has gone from $5.S5 to $5.45
per hundred pounds.
In addition the five-cent loaf or
French bread will soon be reduced in
weight by one and one-half to two
ounces.
More troubles were yesterday piled
upon the long suffering housewife
when the California Hawaiian Sugar
Company announced a raise in the
price of sugar from $.35 per 100 pounds
to $545. The Spreckels interests, en-
bracing the Western Sugar Refining
Company, and the Spreckels Sugar
Company, are shortly expected to fol
low suit. The prices affect all sorts
of cane sugar, pulverized, granulated
and cube.
The Observation-Disclosures Company
is made up of wealthy plantation COM
panies of the Hawaiian Islands and is
the biggest individual competitor that
the Spreckels people have for the SUI
gar industry on the coast. Some time
ago the former company announced a
drastic cut of 20 cents per hundred
pounds in sugar. The Spreckels peo-
pie promptly followed suit Evidently
the cut was too much for the indepen-
dent company for the price was subse-
quently restored and as promptly re-
stored by the Spreckels Company.
The announcement of the ten point
raise came as something of surprise
yesterday in commercial circles, where
it was hoped the price had become
fixed for while. The explanation
given is that the price of the raw pro
duct has gone up and that some slight
increase is necessary in order to re-
tain the legitimate profit of the bust
ness.
Counter to the explanation comes
the statement from the Hawaiian Com
mercial and Sugar Company, through
E. P. Pschuni, that the price of raw
sugar has if anything gone down a
Sugar Company is a producer of raw
sugar, selling the raw product to the
refineries. In the absence of the com
pany officials yesterday, Secretary
Pschuni said:
while there is every indication
that the raw sugar crop of the WORLD
is to be shorter this season than last
making an increase in the price o.
refined sugar natural, at the presen
time the price is about HOO of {
point lower than it was a week ago
1t has remained stable for sever
weeks.
I'VE have nothing to do with re
fined sugar and have nothing to say il
regard to prices of anything but raw
sugar"
For the California-Hawaiian Sugar
Company, the following statement
was made: THE ten point raise is
the natural result of market condi
TONS a good many things enter int
the price. The raw product that W.
use is more expensive and in addition
there has been a general increase il
the cost of production"

JAPAN
ISOLATED
TREMENDOUS SIGNIFICANCE Or.
RECENT AGREEMENT OF GREAT
BRITAIN AND RUSSIA.

The following is by the London cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Ledger:
LONDON, Oct. 6.-There is one feat
ure of the recently signed Anglo-Rus-
sian treaty which has apparently es-
capped public notice, and which never
theless is, perhaps, the most impor-
tant from the point of view of the civil
liked worlds paramount interest. This
is the notification, so to speak, of the
previously concluded arrangement be-
tween Great Britain and Japan
1t will be remembered that, by an
agreement with Japan, England under
took to help in maintaining the terri
tOrial rights of Japan in eastern ASIA
while, in return, Japan contracted to
come to England's assistance in de-
Tense of her Special interests in In
dia An attack upon India could come
only from Russia.
Now that the possibility of Russian
aggression in India is removed by the
treaty signed last month, what quid
pro quo does England receive from
Japan in return for the British prom
Use of assistance in the event of Jap
anese interests threatened in Asia?
Unless new and unexpected situation
should be created within the next six
or seven years, there will be no rea-
son whatever why England should re-
new the agreement under which she
might be called upon to give much and
receive nothing in return.
There are observers who see in the
situation thus created one of the inn
portant developments in the recent
diplomatic history of the world. The
Anglo-Japanese treaty has never had
more than the perfunctOry approval Of
the British nation. The alliance be-
tween the white and yellow races went
against the grain of Englishmen, and
found it's only justification in expe-
diency. With the existence of the
! Anglo Russian treaty such justification
| no longer exists, and these observers
predict that the Anglo-Japanese agree
menJ Will not D6 T6ueWSu WHICH 'AN
date fixed for it's expiration in 1915 ar
rives. Nor is it believed that such a
conclusion will be purely accidental
One authority gave it as his opinion
that the one object sought for by Brit
ish diplomacy in the negotiations o.
the treaty with Russia was that OF
freeing England from an alliance WIZ
a nation whose future action is viewed
with no little anxiety. In other words
English statesmen, in view of this IN
formant, have looked well ahead anc
recognized that the yellow peril vii
inevitably have to be reckoned with
and that Japanese ambitions must be
| sternly repressed.
When that day comes it may be, ac
cording to this view, that the two
i.great branches of the Anglo-SaXol
race will be found standing side b!
I side.
