Teachers Meeting.

Saturday, Dec. Z, the teachers
of Beat 2 met at Fair River Hall,
where very interesting meeting
was held. In every respect the
meeting was good. The people
of the neighborhood showed their
appreciation of and deep interest
in school work by being present;
and many kind ladies will ever be
remembered for their kindness and
also the nice dinner they spread
at very appropriate hour of the
day.
The attendance on the part of
the teachers was comparatively
good-though some whose work is
not far away did not attend; yet
others who lived at the extreme
other side of the district we're
there ready for service. | must
not forget to tell you about the
representatives from Little Ba-
hala. Prof Campbell brought
three wagon loads of his pupils
with him. Ii he can do this good
thing, why can't the rest IF us do
the same thing at our next meet
ing!
The program for the day was
splendid. The teachers on duty
had their work prepared we'll,
which was enloyed by all present.
By the way, the special program
Prof. Till had arranged with bis
school added much interest to the
day. Our coming superintendent
was there as live wire. He ex-
pressed his desire to push the
great educational cause in Lincoln
County. This he cannot dc
alone. Teachers, let US rally to
his call
| am sure that all who were
present received great good BY
being there. Those who. did not
attend missed an opportunity anc
blessing they will never have .
chance at any more. Be sure AND
be on hand at our next meeting,
/ Beyond a doubt we are on the
very verge of a great educationa
change. To one and all, / urge
THAT We do not break ranks, bul
breast to breast push a cause thal
is so worthy Of our attention.

The ingenious teacher will de-
wise ways to get his patrons TO be

to do something for school is a
most potent way Of securing al.
tention to school work. Having
secured attention, we shall surely
have interest and the work which

the right of eminent domain, and also
the right to cross the public highways
Baker opposed the provision claiming
that it was an attempt to regulate in
terstate commerce and that statehood
might be endangered by the provision
that companies piping out gas should
forfeit their charters. Carney OF El
Reno, who supported the report, said
that it did not conflict with the con-
stitution, as no attempt was made to
stop the use Of the pipe lines already
built out of the state. Baker then
asked if the Standard Oil, which owns
the lines, would not by the provisions
be given monopoly as it has lines
constructed, while the construction OF
other lines is prohibited.
Bakex was next asked If he had read
the opinion upon which r. L. VIII
liams based his argument in support
of the provisions and in reply he an
swered that Wrightman had furnish
ed him with the sopinion, with a re-
quest that he read it Quarles then
asked him three times who gave him
the opinion. After considerable dis
cussion the sections were referred to
the judiciary committee.
1t was by this same plan, the denial
of the right Of eminent domain to gas
pipe line companies and compelling
them to secure right Of way by nego-
tiation with individual land owners,
who may refuse to sell, that Standard

tutional convention clerk, were tc
have received for their influence in
bringing the county boundary COM
mittee to decision to locate the
capital town of that county upon an
open piece Of prairie where not even
the resemblance of a town at present
exists
This is the substance of allegation
made by Judge A. S. Dickson of Bea-
yer City, before the convention COM
mittee on rules, which is ingestigat-
ing graft charges. Judge Dickson is
one Of the most prominent Democrats
of Beaver county, and stumped the
district for Fred Tracy during the
last campaign. He stated that
Messrs. A. ]. Dickson of Gate and J.
w. Culwell OF Beaver City were ready
to bear him out in his charge.
The judge refused to give his testi-
mony until Delegate e. r. Williams
of Buffalo district was brought into
the room. This was done and Judge
Dickson proceeded to testify, that
following the action Of the conven-
tion In dividing Woodward county he
and others determined to secure opt
ion on possible county seat sites in the
new county Of Harper. lie said that
he, and his brother, A. J. Dickson Of
Gate and J. w. Culwell OF Beaver City
went to Messrs Miller and McMahon,
owners Of the quarter section Of land
on which Buffalo is to be located, and
offered them $1,000 for one half inter
est.
Continuing, the judge stated that
both men were satisfied with the offer,
but said that before anything could
be done he, (Judge Dickson) must
come to Guthrie to see Delegate Wiz
liams and Clerk Harper, who had been
given forty per cent interest in the
land for locating the county seat there.
Judge Dickson says he came to
Gathrie and saw williams and Harper.
He alleged however that Harper turn
ed down his offer, stating that it was
not nearly big enough, and that he
could get $4,000.
Judge Dickson alleged further that
Goth Williams and Harper made af-
idayits with the investigating COM
nittee in which they stated on oath
hat they had no interest IN the town
lite of Buffalo.

Guthrie, Okla, Feb. 25.-W While it
was being charged on the floor of the
convention that the adoption
OF the three sections offered
by Corporation Bob" Williams sup
Elemental to the original provisions
intended to prohibit the piping of gas
out OF this state, would give Standard
Oil an absolute monopoly, so much inn
portance did J. J. Quarles of Fairfax
place upon the statement Of Baker Of
Wewoka, that @. j. Wrightman Of
Tulsa had given HIM the opiuion Of
the United States supreme court, up
on which Williams based his argu-
ments, that he asked Baker three
times for the name. The third ques-
zion brought from Baker the retort.
''Is there any reason why 9. J..
Wrightman's name should not be men
TONED in connection with this prop
osition on the floor of this convention?'
Quarles smiled knowingly and said,

Inquiry at Tulsa developed that
Wrightman represents the STANDARD

Quarles repetition of the question
and Bakers answer is taken as proof
by many Of the delegates that the

NODEVELOPMENTS
Matter Of Street Paving Re-
mains in Statu Quo, COun-
Gil Not Meeting

There is nothing new in the paving
situation. City Attorney Bebout has
rendered an opinion. however, that,
since the paving ordinance was not
taken up at the regular meeting Of
the council Tuesday, and since the
council did not then adjourn to any
specific date, the ordinance cannot be
taken up until the next regular meet
ing, a week from next Tuesday. 1t
would be Illegal to take it up at call
ed meeting.
Inquiry as to the bonds are quite
numerous, both from investors and
from contractors. Butler g. Bonfoey
have an investor who is thinking Of
buying the bonds and there are Others
who will do SO as soon as the matter is
put Ia shape by the council.
The terms of the present members
will expire about April l5 The Re-
publican memners, who constitute the
majority of the council we're elected
on platform pledging street paving.
1t is to be taken for granted, there
fore, that they will do everything pos
sible to redeem their pledges before
relinquishing Office.
Another effort to hold meeting Of
the council will be held tonight The
paving matter may be taken up. City
Recorder Probasco is Of the opinion
that it will be legal to do so. At least,
II a meeting is held the matter of
paving will be DISGUST.

Manure and Corn.

Experiments continuing for three
years at the Indiana experiment sta
ton with |barnyard manure as a ferti-
lizer for corn, showed that while three
toni to the acre increased the yield
l4.9 bushels per acre, six tons made
an increase Of but 1872 per acre. Thus
the addition of the second three tons
of barnyard MANURE estimated as hav-
ing a value Of two dollars per ton as
a fertilizer, or six dollars for the three
tons, increased the yield only l3
bushels or about 60 cents in value.

Fall Seeding of Alfalfa.

The Pennsylvania experiment sta
tion has gained much experience in
fall and spring seeding of alfalfa, and
says that the principal objection TO
spring sowing is that weeds come up
and choke out the young plants before
they can get a good start. The fall
seeded alfalfa on dry land was able
to Withstand the severe winter climate
perfectly-in fact. better than the
common red clover. Under average
good conditions from 20 10 80 pounds
of seed should be sown to the acre.
Manure gave better results on Penn
s~ylvania soil than did commercial fer
tilizer. Lime did not give satisfactory
results. In some instances it gave no
appreciable results, and in others It
was decidedly harmful, but in no ease
was IL applied to advantage. Deep,
w%ell-drained soils are the best for
growing alfalfa.

POULTRY NOTES.

Variety Of food is better for poultry
than any n food.
Do not feed turkeys for "a hours
before killing for market.
Dry quarters for ducks at night
wet quarters for daytime.
When the cockerels become atten-
tive to the pullets, separate them.
II a hen begins to get very fat, ii is
fair to suppose that she has stopped
laying.
New corn is likely TO sour in the
fowls crops and Inflammation
and Indigestion.
Every keeper of poultry should lay
in a large supply of grit before the
ground freezes.
1t is easier TO keep eggs from be-
coming dirty than it is to clean them
when they have become dirty.
Pullets that are not matured now
should be marketed. II will not pay
TO keep them through the winter.
Al eggs are wanted for eating only,
the male bird is a supernumerary.
The hens lay just as many eggs with
out him, and the eggs will keep long
ler.
