BIG INCREASE IN TAXABLE
WEALTH OF OKLAHOMA

Guthrie. July 1l-From incomplete
returns received by Auditor Dyche, it
seems quite certain that the total as
sessed valuation Of taxable property
in Oklahoma this year will reach
lsl1O, 600, 600 as against SOC, 900, 900 last
year. This estimate is based on re-
turns from twenty counties Of
twenty-six Oklahoma counties. The
ones which are still delinquent with
their reports are Pottawatomie, Gus
ter and Beaver
The assessment returns for this year
show notable increase in every kind
Of property except cattle, and without
exception all of the counties show a
decrease in that line Of property in
dicating that the day Of the big cat
tlemen in Oklahoma is over. Hogs,
horses and in fact ali other kinds Of
live stock show an increase.
An especially large increase is also
shown in telephone property this year.
The telephone companies are very
slow in making their reports and a
large per cent Of them are still out,
but the ones already received show
an increase Of sl35, 600 over last year,
Railroad valuations, so far as received
also show very liberal increase.
The assessors returns show some
very peculiar conditions as to the
amount Of certain property listed for
taxation. Forexample, in Kay coun-
ty, one Of the wealthy counties of the
territory the returns show total Of
only s4,4S2 for tax sale certificates,
Judgment and national bank stock
owned by residents Of the county. In
finishing up the assessment Of the
telephone companies in Oklahoma,
the board Of railway assessors are be-
being very seriously delayed in the
work on account Of number Of the
companies falling to make proper re-
turns and unless returns are made
within a few days, they viii be ap-
piled fox.

WAR TALK IS Silly
Rear Admiral Evans Ridiculed the
Probability of Serious Trouble
With Japan.

New York, July lO- Rear Admiral
Evans, an old friend Of the Japanese
admiral Yamamoto, who landed in
New York today, called on him dur
ing the afternoon and the two sailors
had a long chat together. After tie
visit Admiral Evans said they had
settled the whole matter Of war be-
tween Japan and America and had
declared peace. Admiral Yamamoto,
he said, agreed with him that war
talk was all nonsensense.
cit is absolutely silly to talk about
war between the two countries" said
Admiral Evans. There isn't any
more reason why we should fight Japan
than there is why we should fight
Italy because of Italian outrages IN
this country, or that the Chinese
should declare war on us because some
hoodlum hurls rock through laun-
dry window.

IMPORTANT RULING
Guardians May Now Draw Royalty
Money For Their Wards With
out Special Order of Court

Judge Gill has been advised by Dana
II. Kelsey u. s, Indian agent at
Muskogee, that the department Of
the Interior has modified the ruling
permitting guardians toreceive money
due their ward from sroyalties on oil
leases without a special order from the
court, for amounts not exceeding $50
per month.
Heretofore guardians could not
draw this money for their wards with
out a special order Of court.
Under this ruling, guardians will be
required to accurately account for all
money thus drawn, and will be held
as heretofore, responsible for the
proper deposit of these funds, and be
chargable with reasonable amount
of interest on same.
This ruling will prove Of great con-
venience and benefit to guardians and
wards alike, as it assures prompt ac-
tion on the funds, and places them
where they will be earning something
for the minors without so much delay
and red tape as has been the case
heretofore.

Suggests Improvements.

The ladies Of the Q. G. D. T. Club met
by appointment with the school board
yesterday afternoon and among other
valuable suggestions offered by the La
dies we're some touching on the posi-
bic Improvement Of the public schools
Of ohe city, to which the board gave
respectful attention. Not only did
the members Of the board thank the
ladies for the interest they displayed
in the welfare of the schools, but also
promised TO give careful consideration
to the suggestions offered. Ifthe men
Of vinita would only display the same
amount Of interest in these matters as
these ladies do the public schools Of
vinita would soon rank among the
best in the land.

holder will have his money returned
to him with fair rate Of interest.
We have progressed far enough TO
see that it will cost, complete, approx
imately twenty thousand dollars.
Two thousand dollars in small notes
are held in trust by the International
bank as a bonus for the bath house
and swimming pools. DR.. Q. Bagby
and Mr.. Orr have examined these
notes and have stated that more than
ninety per cent Of the amount is
bankable paper. Mr.. A. L. Churchill
and seymour Riddle, ESQ, have guar
anteed two thousand dollars as a boz
nus for the opening night Of the Aud
itorium The net outlay for the
building, therefore, will be sixteen
thousand dollar. The building is all
ready leased under contracts with
substantial tenants, some for three
and some for five years, and the gross
rental derived is three thousand six
hundred and forty dollars per annum.
We furnish nothing save heat. A
nominal price only will be charged
the Auditorium company for gas;
water will be free, and we have assur-
ance ttat the property will be ex-
empt from taxation as long as its pu0-
lie character.is is preserved. The fixed
charges under no circumstances can
exceed, we believe, eight hundred
dollars per annum. Consequently,
the building will yield a net income
of twenty-eight hundred dollars, and
we have reason to expect our money
will be returned to US in from five to
six years.
Asa citizen interested in The future
of this city, / ask you to carefully
consider this matter and become one
of the subscribers to stock. The pres
ent list Of stockholders includes not
only our public spirited citizens bat
many Of our most conservative BUSH
ness men as well. We require five
thousand dollars to complete the sub
scrIption Of twenty thousand dollars.
Two or three Of us would gladly furn-
ish the money and own the building,
but we could not then hold it out as a
public enterprise, retain the lease and
secure the exemptions and benefits
which come as result Of the general
ownership and 80 to make il a prodta-
bic investment
Mr. J. A. Wise will call on you
in the near future with the stock
book, and l sincerely trust that you
will take good block of the stock
Very Truly Yours,
L. F. PARKER, JR.,
President.

WILL BEAUT!FY CITY
Judge Luman F. Parker, jr., Makes
a Strong Plea in Behalf Of the
Auditorium and Plaza.

just before leaving for Mineral Wells,
Tex, where he has gone for medical
Atreatment, Judge Parker gave OUT the
/. following letter for publication;
DEAR SIR:-My health is such at
slpresent that cannot call upon you
!, personally, SO / take this means OF
bringing to your attention the Vlnita
I Auditorium and Plaza, as worthy
! enterprise and desirable investment.
Vinita is the only city, large or
small, in the country that has been
ksoffered the enviable privilege OF I'M
Fyproving the grounds adjacent to the
,stracks Of its railroads so that the view
therefrom would be an inviting one
A moments thought will recall the
unfavorable appearance Of every town
in the country, as well as our own 10
! this respect. The character OF the
occupancy Of this land was such that,
without the intervention Of this en-
terprise, Vinita would have had prob
ably the most undesirable condition
imaginable in the cenler Of the city.
Embracing the opportunity thus
Uttered, a few Of us secured what Is in
effect a perpetual lease on this block
Of ground. 1t will be parked and
beautified, both railroads contribut-
ing shrubs, flowers and landscape ar
tist for the purpose.
A fountain has already been pur-
chased ana contributed by the city.
our water supply will be free gas
ana electric light will be furnished at
nominal rates. ard the plaza and
building will be beautiful and attract
i've by night as we'll as by day.
The Auditorium is being construct
ed Of the best material obtainable,
with all modern conveniences. We
will have over seven hundred running
feet of porch, completely surrounding
the building. The basement will
contain complete up-to-date bath IA
cilities. There will be two large
swimming pools in the rear, and the
medicinal properties Of the artesian
water advertised to the fullest extent.
The first floor will furnish home for
tAe Commercial club, public library,
: up-to date barber shop, soda fountain
ard cigar stand, and the most COM
plete opera house in the territory.
This last feature has received partic-
ular attention, and with the other
rooms, it will be the ideal convention
hall Of the new state, In leasing it
we have reserved the right for its free
use to all parties, societies and clubs
for any public gathering or entertain
ment. The second story contains be-
sides the galleries, a large gymnasi-
um, ball and club room, which has
been rented to the Cherokee Social
club.
The enterprise is strictly public
one, and the combination Of facilities
make it tuneQualled. If no direct fnan-
cial return was assured and it was
constructed by donations alone, it is
worthy of contribution from every
citizen and propepty owner Aside
from being good Investment and
from general standpoint each stock
