OLD INDIAN RELICS
ARE FOUND IN A CREEK

Special TO Daily Leader
Eufaula, l. r., Jan. 29-IIl jewelry
store here are exhibited two armlets
made of metal and of the pattern worn
extensively by the Indians a hundred
years ago. The armlets were founo
in an old Indian burying ground on
the banks of a Greek twenty-one miles
west of Eufapla
Evidently they had elasped the arms
of some Indian brave who had been
buried there. and the sands had drift
ed away, leaving the armlets exposed
long after the remains of the Indian
had passed to dust
The armlets are of the pattern that
were annually given to the Indians by
the government in early days. Each
Of the armlets found bears the en-
blem of the government and there
are fifteen stars. which indicates that
at the time they were made there
were fifteen states

The report of Major General Aims
worth, the military secretary OF the
army. shows that there are more than
l3,OO0O00 men in the Uaited States
available for military service About
l12. 400 are organized iu state militia
The regular army. as organized under
the act of 1901, consists of 66,3S5 Of
ficers and men, exclusive of the hos
pital corps and provisional corps of
some 5000 Philippine scouts
After the Revolution congress re-
duced the Continental army to eighty
men, with no officer above the rank
of captain BY 1888 It had been in
creased 10 sos men commanded by
Lieutenant Colonel and Breyet Briga-
der General Harmon. Around that
nucleus the regular army has grown.
Nine years ago. at the outbreak of
the war with Spain, the United States
army consisted of aout $4,000 men and
Officers. In February. 1901, congress
authorized a permanent increase Of
the army TO 100000 men, including
1000 native troops for service in
Porto Rico and the Philippines In
June Of that year all tho Spanish war
volunteers were mustered out The
House this session has provided for
an increase Of 5000 in the coast ar
illery.
The ll2.oOO-odd militia can not be
called into service outside OF the state
TO which they belong except TO resist
.nvasion or "a put down rebellion II
has always been the policy OF the gov
ernment 10 use volunteers rather than
TO increase the regular army strength.
The advantage OF this policy Is that
volunteers can be returned more
easily To the pursuits OF peace when
the need for their services Is ended
The result Is that. as General Aims
wor;hs report shows. there are mill
ions of men available for defense. but
only q limited number who are either
NJ or who could be nsed for foreign
service. Buf the testimony OF foreign
military authorities is that in adapt

THE TRUSTS

General Provisions of which Hon.
Fred Tracy is chairman. has reported
an ordinance in regard to trusts and
monopolics, that has the ring OF n
military order lt Is so short. yet so
expressive, that It fairly sparkles with
It's imperative command II is liter
ally an order to charge bayonets.
The committee proposition reads as
follows Trusts and monOpolles
shall be treated as criminals and be
prohibited A soldier would not mis-
understand that order The trusts
and monopolies will not mlsunder-
stand it either.
If they defy It, then let them take
the consequences. The officers of the
new state are ordered to take their
criminal" stronghold and demolish
their works.
or course a more complete statute
will have to be passed by the leglsla-
ture and modified from time to time
to cover any new subterfuges. The
order to take these sordid poachers
on public welfare is sharp and clear
and will be enforced at any cost in
the new state.

GOOD THINGS SAID
oE OKLAHOMA.


II is encouraging to note occasion
ally Just what is being said of Okla
homa outside the boundaries OF the
territory and just what is said of us
in the official records, where invest
ors are like to. look for accnsate in
formation There Is no greater asset,
than a good name among those whose
esteem wo seek.
The secretary of the interior in his
report to the President says among
other good things that.
"The public and private credit Of
Oklahoma is of the very best, and no
public bond or security of am kind
issued by the territory or any muni-
cipality thereof has ever been repudi-
ated or the interest defaulted. School
and municipal bonds and territorial
warrants all sell at premium and
are much sought after by eastern in
vestors Farm loans are being made
at 5is and per cent, and city loans
at G, and per cent, farm lands
especially ranking high in financial
circles, and foreclosure or default OF
interest has never taken place"
As a field fc~ investment in manu-
featuring enterprises he says.
The manufacturing outlook for
Oklahoma is of the brightest. as east
ern capital is finding its way into the
| territory, and there are at the present
time meat packing establishments
canning factosies, creamJries, rlow
works sash and door works. cotton
seed oil mills, carriage factories iron
! fGndries, cracker and biscuit works
and box factories; a cotton mill Will
capital of sl50.00O will be open ths
first OF the coming year"
Proceeding to compare Oklahoma
territory with other states, he says:
"Theae were in the territory OF
January !, 1906. 2,15S.9SG cattle
7G6027 horses and mules. 1,34G.96'

lated within the last seventeen years

millions OF dollars
"rhe value of farm lands in Okla
homa varies greatly according L
their location as to city and market
railroad facilities. and the characte
OF othe lands adjoining. They rang,
from SIS to s65 an acre and average
about $50 per acre. The value of min

There are 2.61i miles of railwa,

These plain facts stated by such
high official and calculated in ever,

FLOOD OF JAPANESE.
Stream of Immigrants Is Constantly
Increasing in Size.

Washington Oct. 7.-Immigration of
japanese into America is increasing at
so alarming a rate that it has been de-
termined to adopt extraordinary meas
ures to prevent the introduction into
the United States of not only japanese.
but of other Asiatic coolie labor. One
result of the trip of Secretary Straus
has been an increase in the force of i'm
migration inspectors along the Canadian
border with a view to controlling the
flood of Asiatic immigration. 1t is
known that more than double the num-
ber of japanese have come into the
United States thus far in the year 1907,
than came here during the same period
last year. Naturally, the figures of the
government do not include the hum
dreds of Japanese who have come into
the country surreptitionsly.
They have come across from Canadian
and Mexican borders, practically with
out hindrance, despite the regulations
adopted by the government to prevent
the Introduction of Japanese laborers.
For many months the government has
had immigration inspectors in Mexico
and Canada. In practically every in
stance the inspectors have reported that
the japanese who reach Mexico or Can
ada are bound for the United States.
Inquiries in the Hawaiian Islands, have
revealed organizations whose business 1T
is to procure japanese laborers to work
in the United States. They not only
provide the meals but pave the way by
which Japanese may easily obtain en-
trance into this country through Canada
and Mexico.
Returns from the Canadian immigra
ton office show that S,2S6 Asiatics were
landed at the British Columbian ports
of Victoria and Vancouver between
January 1 and September IS, 1907. OF
this large number 2,S72 were Hindoos
and 4,S11 were Japanese, most of the lat
ter reaching Canada from Honolulu.
The remaining 603 were Chinese, who
paid admission fees of 800 for the privi-
lege of landing in Canada. The field of
labor in that section of Canada is linn
tied and the Investigations of the Uni
ted States immigration inspectors have
shown that most of the japanese and
Chinese expect ultimately to get into
the Tinted States 's
