State Is Democratic.

State Is Democratic.
 Oklahoma will probably be Demo cratic in politics for some time to come. The governor-elect, c. M. Has, kell, of Muskogee, received majority of 27,00O votes. The state will cast approximately 250,000 votes, of which number from 10000 to 15,000 are by negro voters. The majority for pro- hibition was about 10000. Of the F Republicans in the constitutional con- vention six came from each side of the new state.
 Gov Haskell is one of the newer residents of the state, having gone there from Ohio. Other officers are: Lieutenant governor, George Bellamy, of Ell Reno; secretary of state, "Bill' Cross. of Oklahoma City, whose friends say he would not be recog- nized If referred to as William Cross;" treasurer, J. B. Menefee, of Anadarka; attorney general. Charles West, of Enid, and chairman of the commissioners of corporations, J. J. McAlister
 The state in primaries has selected to represent her in the senate the first blind man who has ever sat in that body. He is T. P. Gore, who lost his sight when boy in Mississippi. where he was born. He has served in the territorial legislature. Robert Lee Owen, who will be elected as the other senator, is a totally different type. Born in Virginia, he is one eighth Cherokee Indian, and is looked upon as an extreme conservative. He distinguished himself as a lawyer by earning a fee of s150,000 in single case. Both these men have been chosen by the Democratic primaries, which is equivalent to their election by the legislature. Of the representa- tiyes Bird s. Mcclure, for some years territorial delegate from Oklahoma, in congress, is the only Republican of the five elected. Others are E. L. Full ton, brother of Senator Fulton, of Oregon, Second district; James s. Davenport, Third district; Charles D. Carter, Fourth district, and Scott Fairns, Fifth district.

Amazing Natural Resources.

Within its borders Oklahoma is known to have vast stretches of coal lands; natural gas, also, is abundant, while the states resources in salt, as phalt, oil, granite and marble, building stone, zinc, lead, copper, gold and tim Der, place it among the most desirable sections of the country for investors.

The campus, consisting of 60 acres, lies at a slight elevation, overlooking the South Canadian river. University hall was built five years ago at a cost of $70,000 Science hall is new building, 63 by 125 feet, of gray pressed brick. The university is also provided with a library building given by Andrew Carnegie, and a gymnasi- um, 55 by 100 feet. There are four other buildings, two of wood, devoted to engineering work, and two devoted to the anatomical laboratory.
 The other advanced public educa- tional institutions of Oklahoma are an agricultural and mechanical college, three state normal schools, univer sity preparatory school, colored agricultural and normal university, O vation containing $500 acres of agri- cultural land, for the education of h. dian boys and girls in the higher branches of learning.
 Color Line Drawn.
 The supervision of instruction is vested in board of education, of which the state superintendent of pub lie instruction is president and the governor, secretary of state and at torney general are members ex-officio. A color line is drawn on negroes in Oklahoma, separate schools being pro- yided for negro children, but with the same accommodations as the schools for white children. Education is com pulsory.

In addition to agriculture, stock raising, dairying, etc, all other lines of industry are taught at Chilocco.
 Oklahoma has more than 1,200 manufacturing plants, representing in- vestments aggregating $25,000,00O, and giving employment to 10000 wage earners. These plants include flour mills, oil mills, cotton gins, broom factories, brick and tile works, salt works, cement factories, woodenware and carriage works.

Oil Fields Are Rich.


 Some of the richest oil fields in America are in Oklahoma. The Glenn Pool oil district, south of Tulsa, be- tween Red Fork and Mounds, has be- tween 450 and 800 producing oil wells, with total capacity of 100000 bar rels a day. The first of these wells was sunk in December, 1905. Pipe lines have been constructed for the transportation of this oil to the Texas seaboard and to the refineries at Whit ing, Ind. More than s10,000,000 has been invested in tanks, pumping sta tions, and pipe lines in Tulsa county.
 Eastern Oklahoma, which is not so uniformly even as the western portion of the state, produces more than 3,o00,000 tons of coal year, for which it's mines receive about $6,000,- 000 The coal field extends from the vicinity of Tulsa on the north to the Texas line on the south, and is more than 100 miles broad The state con-
