throughout the state tnat Mr. Cruce

secretary will cut out all the red

Garfield will also ease up on the
present oil and gas regulations. He
wants to simplify these regulations
so as to protect the Indians fully with

THE OKLAHOMA DEMOCRAT,

had been so gcrrymandorcd by the in.
tenscly partisan carpctbaggcrs and
rough riders whom the administration
had quartercd upon that apparently
helpless and hapless people, 1t for a
time seemed hopeless task to Try to
throw off the incubus and come out
as frccmen for freedoms sake
But the hardy and intrepid men who
were the real bone and sinew of that
country. those who had so quickly re
duccd the wild prairios and pamc.in.
habitod forests into welltllcd farms
and thriving farms and cities reused
themselves from the skllliully con.
trived lethargy which the national ad.
ministration had reduced them by
oprressiyoly partisan rulings and prac-
tees and threw their whole being into
the fight To shake Off the taint of Re
publicanism and advertise to the
world that the new state was white

their partisan zeal for better govern.

ON THE RAMPAGE
Citizens of Oregon Believing Chi namen Had Committed Mur.
 der Wrecked Quarters.

Portland, Ore, Dec 27.-A dh- patch to the Oregonian from Leth- bridge, Alberta, says:
 Because they believed that prom inent citizen had been murdered in a Chinese restaurant, 1,500 men raided and wrecked the Oriental quarter last Christmas night. Res- taurants and laundries were smashed and doors, windows and entire fronts Of buildings were reduced to Splin- ters. The regular police of the town were pOWerless and brigade of mounted police had to be called out to quell the riot.
 A story was circulated that Harry Smith, a well known cattle rancher, had been fatally wounded in res- taurant. CuriOusly enough neither Smith nor anyone else had been hurt, but the police were misled by the tale and two orientals were ar rested charged with the murder. A mob gathered opposite the restaurant and there was talk of lynching. Sud- denly some one threw rock which
 
 ment the crowd was beyond control. Bricks and stones were hurled and when the doors had been broken in the tables and chairs and dishes in- side were smashed. The Columbia and Alberta restaurants were literal ly wrecked. Later detachment of mounted police appeared and the crowd scattered.
 Hundreds of the rioters merely shifted the scene of the pillaging. Three blocks away, opposite the Ar lington hotel, they cleaned out an- other Chinese restaurant and severe ly handled two orientals who were caught within.
 Mayor Galbraith and Magistrate Townsend both addressed the mob and urged it to disperse and as all possible damage had been done, it obeyed

Dec. 27.-An era of retrenchment in the telegraph busi- ness in this state is expected to dawn with the coming of the New Year and already big changes are planned by the Western Union ard Postal companies.
