was patterned after the Oregon law.
Promises Prohibition.


II the constitution goes through
Oklahoma will be a prohibition state,
the most stringent liquor law in ex-
istence. prohibiting not only the sale,
but the introduction of liquor into
the state, being provided for. The
enabling act provided that Indian
Territory must accept prohibition for
21 years. The convention provided
that the whole state should vote on
the question and there is said to be
little doubt that the terms of the en-
abling act will be made uniform over
the state. The recent action OF
Georgia In prohibiting the sale of Ii
quor to help the prohibition issue in
Oklahoma.
The constitution Is about three
times as long as the average docu-
ment of its kind. This unusual
length is in part explained by the
fact that about one-third Of the doc
ument is taken up with fixing coun-
ty boundaries, another large section
is devoted to defining how the ques-
tion of prohibition shall be submitted
to the vote of the people, while an
other long section relates to the prin-
ciple of the initiative and referendum.
A Modern Constitution.
Among the more or less interest
ing provisions contained in the re-
mainder of the document are the
following:
The legal rate of interest is fixed
at 8 per cent and the contract rate
at 10 per cent. A compulsory and
separate school system is established.
Commissions are created on labor and
arbitration, charities, insurance, rail-
roads, agricultural, oil, gas and mines.
The state seal adopted is a combina-
ton of the present seal of Oklaho-
ma and the seals of the nations of
the five civilized tribes.
While the vote on the constitution
is naturally regarded as of most i'm
portance, the contests for state Off
GERS and members OF congress have
been of a spirited character and are
attracting much attention on the eve
of the election. The democratic gu
bernatorial candidate, whose follow
ers are confident will be elected to-
morrow by handsome plurality, is
c. n. Haskell, a newspaper publisher
of Muskogee. The republican stand
ard bearer is Frank Frantz, who is
at present governor of Oklahoma Ter
ritory, under appointment of Presi-
dent Roosevelt.

OKLAHOMA WILL
VOTE SEPT. u
NEW CONSTITUTION TO
TO COME BEFORE PEOPLE
OlSialsoma's Constitution Contains all
the Advanced Ideas OF Popular
Government Now In Force I'm Orc
gon-Parisan Bias VIII Figure
Largely In the Observation-Disclosures
tions all Point to Its Adoption.

Guterie, Okla, Sept 16.-Tomor-
row the people Of Oklahoma and In
dian Territory will vote to accept or
reject the constitution which, II ac-
oepted, will admit these communities
10 the union as the state of Oklaho-
ma. At the same time the people
win vote for state officers, members
OF congress, legislative and county Of
dicers, and will also ballot on the
question of prohibition.
The campaign now closed has been
one of unusual interest and has at
tracted the attention of the entire
country. II Oklahoma statehood be-
comes an accomplished fact before
the presidential election next year
the result may have an important
bearing on that contest. This, COM
bined with other circumstances, has
caused the political leaders of both
parties to take a keen interest in
the campaign leading up to the voting
tomorrow. Both parties have sent
some of their best campaigns into
the twin territories. the list of re-
publican speakers being headed by
Secretary OF War Taft and that of the
democrats by William ]. Bryan.
People Are Favorable to II.
The indications are that the con-
stitution will be ratified by the peo-
pie. Ever since its final adoption by
the constitutional convention the doc
ument has been a subject of much
discussion. chiefly because of the po-
lffical controversy over the question
of its approval by the president,
whose approval and proclamation are
necessary before Oklahoma can be
placed on the statehood roll.
While partisan bias has caused
considerable criticism OF the consti-
tuition, 1t has many features which
are likely to commend themselves to
the public without distinction as to
political creed. Among these are the
provisions against child labor, those
prohibiting the issuance of watered
stocks and making the books of
quasi-public corporations sub. .ect at
all times to inspection, the employers
liability law, the eight-hour law for
state, county and municipal work and
the provisions for stringent regula-
ton Of railroads and other large cor
porations.
The constitution contains several
features that embody the latest ideas
on the subject of government by the
people-namely the initiative and
referendum and nomination of off,
GERS by direct primary instead Of

NORTHWESTERN COMING.
Crew Of Surveyors Now at Work
Near Nampa.

1t is learned upon positive authori-
ty that the Chicago & Northwestern
railway company has gang of sur
veyors In the field near Nampa with
instructions to run line from Boise
to some point near that section, says
the Boise Capital News, The North
western now has 16 gangs of survey
ors in the field running lines for their
through extension to the coast. The
Boise force was left at Nampa yes
terday and and will work from the
points selected to this city.
They have also sent their repre-
sentatives here to make a report on
the conditions in this city for the
purpose Of Determining whether or
not there was enough business here
to justify them building to this place.
An estimate of the growth OF the city
during the last two years was sub
mitted to the directors Of the road
together with the prospects of this
section for the next five years and
the report was so favorable that the
directors ordered the survey made.

Two Years Ago, Now Running q

moving 10000 Cubic Yards Of Dirt
Per Day on the Canal.

The east Oregonian is in receipt of
a letter from Engineer David Cooper,
formerly of the La Grande division
Of the o. r. & N, but for the past
year on the Panama railroad help
ing dig the Panama canal.
He writes Interestingly of condi-
tions in Panama and as his letter is
of general interest, a part of it is
published. He says:
We are doing pretty work on the
canal and although 1t is the rainy
season, yesterday we removed 10000
cubic yards of dirt, which is a pretty
good days work for the force en-
ployed.
Everybody here seems to have the
digging Of the "big ditch" at heart.
There is real canal enthusiasm all
through the Canal zone and it seems
that the employees are determined to
stay and fight It out.
AS to the completion of the canal
at any fixed time, guessing is con-
sidered out of the question here.

cars and holding 20 yards each, is
unloaded in about seven minutes.

NO MORE RoPING CONTESTS.
Humane Society of Wyoming Stops
Fayorite Frontier Sport.

The announcement that the HUI
name society has stopped further steer
roping contests in Wyoming will be
received with qualification by most
of the citizens of that state and by
the west in general says the Denver
Republican.
a steer roping contest was an
nounced in Cheyenne for the latter
part of September, but the society has
interferred and 1t is announced that
no more such contests will be permit
ted In the state. This should have
been done years ago. The steer rop-
ing contest is a relic of barbarism.
ranking with the full fight in cruelty.
The contests are held for the purpose
of determining which cowboy can
rope, throw and tie. a steer in the
shortest time.
The steers are thrown so hard that
they are frightfully bruised, some
times the whole side of an animal
being rendered unfit for market pur-
poses after II is butchered, owing to
the tremendous shock with which 1t
Is brought to the ground. Horns are
broken off, legs are broken, and the
sport" has absolutely nothing to rec
ommend 1t, inasmuch as there is no
need for cowboys to work in such
great haste when on the roundup.
Texas several years ago abolished
steer roping contests, the cattlemen
of that state being the ones who ask
ed for the law and saw that it pass
ed. No cattleman who believes in hui
name treatment Of animals will be
found defending steer roping con-
test.
Bucking contests. In which horses
are abused, are only shade less
cruel, and are fully as needless as
the roping contests. Both these
forms of entertainment belong to n
dead period of western life. and live
western communities will do we'll to
abandon them for something better
reflecting the spirit of the age.

UNION PACIFIC HIRING WOMEN
Woman Gets Important Vacancy In
the Passenger Department.

Is woman the peer of her brother
in business life? says an Omaha dis
patch.
Railroad officials say not. The fact
remains, however, that woman is
gradually crowding out her brother
from the railroad office.
In fact, a SIS position which has
been vacant in the passenger depart
ment of the Union Pacific headquar-
ters will probably be given to wo-
man.
In all railroad headquarters there
has been a reluctance to employ wo-
men stenographers, and as rule
men have filled these positions.
Horace Burt, the former general
manager OF the Union Pacific, was
violently opposed to women and only
two held positions under his regime.
Since then the woman force has been
increased until now seven are em-
ployed at the Union Pacific.
The reason given for the employ
ment of more women is that male
stenographers cannot be secured for
the salaries offered, ranging from $50
to s75 a month

". III. West is keeping "a pretty
close watch on his chicken house now
days, and he hopes to be able to land
on the fellow who is carrying OFT some
Of his best chickens. Three or four
nights ago some fellow who lives in
Mitchell made a very successful haul
in MIR. Vests chicken house. getting
away with six or seven Of his best
birds, among which was a pedipreed
rooster which cost him s25 a few
years ago. He has been keeping the
matter quiet in the hope that the
fellow would return for another lot
of birds, but be has failed to sht "
up as yet. The chicken fancier said
that IL he ever came back again he
would carry something away besides
chickens. for he has reached the
point where he says he would be
inclined to shoot the individual.
Mr.. West said that this was the.
fourth time that his chicken house
has been robbed OF many Of his best
birds, and other neighbors living in
the northeastern part Of the city have
suffered in the same way. II times

Der, but it is i%nexcusable for a person
TO commit a robbery as long as

Seventeen Cars Plunge Into stony

MIDDLETOWN, N. Y, Oct. 15.-One
man was killed, five others will prob
ably die and six or eight were badly
injured when seventeen cars of work
train crashed through trestle on the
new Erie and Jersey railway at Stony
Ford, six miles from here. The cars
were loaded with dirt and stone, and
twenty Austrian laborers who were on
the train went down with them to the
bottom OF the ravine ninety feet below.
The engineer felt the trestle giving
and, putting on full speed, succeeded
in getting across with his engine and
one car. The coupling with the second
car broke, and all the rest of the train
went into the ravine
A hundred laborers were rushed to
the spot and began digging the injured
out of the wreck. The body of John
Brlscovitch was recovered, and the
seriously injured were rushed to hos.
pitfalls here.
The trestle was constructed over q
ravine on the Guymand and Newburg
Junction branch Of the road and was
being used to make fll. officials of
the company say the recent rains I'M

will amount to $4,000.

The confiding ruralist who last
week asked The Herald; What do |
get for my taxes?" seems to have
started train Of thought in the minds
of other Maine men, for various and
sundry taxpayers write to us from
that state and put the same query.
The conditions do not vary, although
the expressions may. The country
town in each case, appears to render
the smallest possible return for its
revenues. The complaints come, mo
police, no public lighting, no water
supply, no drainage, no health officer,
no fire protection" and, as u. j." puts
it, only roads that are early Siberian,
or contemporary Chinese" There are
schools, to be sure, and unguarded
grade crossings, and town debts, but
even these do not make up the sum of
joyous living Clearly, the folks who
pay 5000 year, and upward for
taxes which permit them to live in
these primitive conditions have a right
to expect something for their money.
