Gerrymander Puts Coun-

GUTHRIE. Okla. March 9--The max
ing OF small or 'fourteen-conered'
counties in Indian Territory by the con-
stitutionaI convention is causing much
complaint among the citizens OF such
counties. Practically all the agricul-
tural land is non-taNable, throwing the
burden Of maintaining the county upon
personal property and upon real estate
in incorporated towns
Much dissatisfaction exists in Murray
county. named after the president OF the
convention Sulphur is the county seat
The taxable valuation Of property there
in 1906 was only S12,O 10000. The county is
estimated 10 contain 1850 acres Of ag-
riculturaI land. with 3S.S13 acres in cul-
tiyation. Much of this agricultural land
is OF Door grade.
The county contains 102 .oS0 acres OF
valueIess rocky land. 5000 acres OF
mountain. 900 acres Of Government res
ervation, 1000 acres Of segregated as
phalt lands. undeveloped. The popula-
ton will not exceed $500.
The city of Davis Is located on one Of
the fourteen corners in such a manner
as to deprive il of One-half Of its nat
uraI territory. including two iron OF
steel bridges that cost the business men
more than 5000 to build. These two
bridges are within one and four miles
Of the town, both in Garvin county.
The best bridge. valued At $500. is less
than a mile from the corporate limits
of Davis.
