FARMERS HOLD CORN
IMMENSE SUPPLY OF OLD CORN
ON HAND IN OKLAHOMA.
ITS VALUATION.

Guthrie. Ok, Aug. 3.--The fact that
all Indications point to higher grain
markets than usual during the on
suing year makes ON important inter
homa held over from last season grain
amounting to 2.536, $50, or total #
over 100000 bushels.
These figures are obtained from the
report of the Oklahoma State Board
of equalization and were turned into
the board by the various Assessors
throughout Oklahoma. Instructions
We're given them ahead of time to De
exact In obtaining their data In this
connection, and the figures are con
sidered reliable. The assessed valua.
ton of this grain amounts to sG3i..
239. or one-fourth the actual value,
the basis on which practically all Ok
lahoma property Is assessed. This
fact must be taken into consideration
in giving the following assessed yalu-
alton of all grain by counties:
Woods county leads with total OF
sl19,637 worth OF grain carried over
from last season, and Kay county Is
second with S77,6l5. The other coun.
ties have grain on hand as follows:
Beaver si,129, Blaine s36,96i, Caddo

The last Oklahoma Legislature was
asked to pass measure eXempting
from taxation whatever grain and cot
ton might be held over by the farmers
from one season to the next, as an in
ducement to hold farm products for a
higher price rather than to sell when
a market was low. The attempt To
secure such legislation failed, how
ever.
From the fact that the counties
having the largest amount of grain
left over are those in the wheat belt
1t might be taken that more wheat
than any other grain was held, also
bcause last season the farmers We're
not satisfied with the ruling market.
Those who held over their wheat
crop viii profit greatly as a result.

OPINIONS OF DELEGATES
That the Party Cannot Elect Any

Assistance.

The Ardmore delegates To the Tul-
sa convention have returned home,
full of hope and repubicanism. II
IS the cOncensus OF opinion OF IN"

chance to win I'm the coming state

/ The convention at Tulsa has been

of this uneasiness' continued the
speaker. "and We now are lining ur
for a fight
The fight will be- made principals
on the head of the ticket, from th5
conversation of the returning dele
gates, and every effort will be made
to elect the governor. The situation
as It now stands is that the republi
cans do not expect to elect n state
ticket and the nomination of such
n ticket Is more for the good it will
do the gubernatorial candidate than
from the belief that the ticket can
be elected.
Guy +. Cobb, who Is chairman OF
the county committee, and who was
also a delegate to the Tulsa meeting
stated that county convention
would be called to be held in Ard

Asks Eunda for Trial.

Something OF a sensation, in view
OF the near approach OF the date set
for the commencement of the trial Of
Mrs. Emma Kaufman of Sioux Falls
on the charge OF having murdered her
domestic, has been created by the
flooding OF the Sioux Falls business
houses with copies of a letter prepared
under the direction Of a committee Of
citizens at Parkston, who are actively
engaged in aiding in the prosecution
of Mrs. Kaufman.
The Parkston citizens committee q
number OF weeks 6 engaged special
attorneys, two from Iowa and one from
South Dakota, to assist States Attor.
ney Orr Of Sioux tai.- in prosecuting
the case. The purpose Of sending out
the letters at this time Is TO induce II
possible the Sioux Falls jobbers and
other business men to contribute to-
ward the fund for the payment OF the
special attorneys.
The business men of Sioux Falls
and the people OF Minnehaha county
are as determined as the people OF
Parkston and Hutchinson county that
thec case against Mrs. Kaufman shall
be prosecuted to the end. The bust
ness men of Sioux Falls pay a good
proportion Of the entire taxes of Min
nehaha county, and In doing so feel
that they will pay their just proportion
OF Inc costs Of the Kaufman case.
They do not hesitate to say that to
contribute TO the fund for the payment
Of special attorneys, who were en-
gagged by the citizens committee OF
Parkston on their own responsibility
and without giving the business men
Of Sioux Falls an opportunity to sug.
gest or consult as to what special at.
torneys should be engaged. would be
equivalent to requiring them to pay
double for the prosecution OF the
Kaufman case.
Extensive improvements are planned
for Viborg this season. Although
Viborg is only a sman place. 1t is ca.
timated that at least $50. 900 will he ex.
pended for public improvements. Halt
of this amount will be spent in the
construction Of a municipal water
works system, for which the voters
declared themselves at a special cleo.
ton a few weeks ago. The work al
constructing the system is in progress.
Within the next five years Viborg will
be at least the second largest town in
Turner county, and perhaps the larp.
