LEADING LAWYER
OF OKLAHOMA HERE
Harper s. Cunningham, Republican
Member Of the State Senate and
High Mason, Visiting City.

Harper s. Cunningham, a promi.
nent lawyer and influential citizen OF
Guthrie, Oklahoma, reacned the city
yesterday and will remain here a
week or so for recreation and rest.
Mr.. Cunningham Is one of the origin.
al pioneers of Oklahoma, having gone
there at the opening of the territory
in 1889. He settled then in the city
of Guthrie and has lived there ever
since He is member Of the Senate
of the new state legislature, having
been elected by the Republicans and
has just been renominated for re.
election. Mr.. Cunningham thinks he
has a good chance to be elected
and he also thinks that the Republl-
can party of that state is making great
headway and that in all probability
the Republicans will carry the state
ticket and a majority of the legisla-
ture this fall. Many of the Indian
citizens who voted two years ago with
the Democrats are now taking sides
with the Republican party and Mr..
Cunningham thinks that this will
greatly increase the chances for Re-
publican success.
Mr.. Cunningham went to Oklahoma
from Salina, Kansas, where he had
been resident for good many
years and practiced law, and he was
also receiver at the U. S. land office
lat Salina under President Ar.
thurs administration. He also held
other offices of profit and trust in
Kansas. Under the territorial gov
ernment of Oklahoma he held the Of
flee of attorney general under Gov
ernor Barnes. He impresses one as
an intelligent, observing citizen and
is a pleasant and agreeable talker.
He enjoys a fine reputation at Guthrie,
the capital of Oklahoma, and through
out the state.
In Free Masonry he enjoys a high
distinction. He is past grand mas
ter of the Grand Lodge of Free Ma
sonry; past high priest Of the Grand
Royal Arch Chapter and grand com
manier of the Grand Commandery of
Oklahoma. He has attained the high.
ost rank in the Scottish Rite of Free
.lasonry, being a sovereign inspector
general of the thirty-third degree of
the Rite and is in charge of the
Scottish Rite affairs of his state.
Mr.. Cunningham is greatly pleased
with New Mexico so far and especial
ly with Santa Fe which he thinks is a
very attractive and interesting city,
with about as fine climate as he
ever has been In and having more
grand scenery, historical attractions,
splendid public buildings and schools
and historical and archaeological and
chronological attractions than any
place he has ever visited.
Mr.. Cunningham called at the edi
torial office of the New Mexican
where he was supplied with litera-
ture concerning New Mexico and he
spent yesterday and today in calling
on leading Free Masons in this city.

power could be furnished at the peni.
tentiary 1t Is more than possible that
electricity would be employed in the
kitchen and also to heat the various
buildings. Electric power also could
be used on tramway hauling clay a
distance of five miles to the peniten.
tiary brick plant.
The United States Indian School
would use no less than 1OO-horsepower
to run its buildings and to pump the
water for irrigating the large area of
ground surrounding 1t. At the present
| time that institution pays about $4,000
a year for water alone.
| Both Water and Steam Plant.
Mr.. Conner says that the water
power plant will be so arranged that
in case the water in the Pecos river
fails in any season of the year, of
which there is no danger, that the
plant can be run by steam. There are
rich coal beds right on the lands con.
trolled by the promoter, which can be
mined with very little expense.
There is plenty Of timber on the
government reserve at the site which
can be purchased at a cheap figure, to
be used in the construction Of the pipe
lines, etc.
The land where the proposed works
are to be constructed is located in Dal
ton canyon, fourteen miles east of this
city.
Captain H. S. DuVal, civil engi
ineer, was engaged by Mr. Conner, and
he made the surveys, preliminary
figures as to the cost, etc
At the point where the works are
itp be located the river falls 100 feet to
Y Ems ~ nile and Mr. Conner says that
while great power is furnished by
rivers which are almost level. he can
not See why better and more power
at one-fourth the cost of many plants
lcannot be furnished by the Pecos riv
|er.
II have been figuring on this propo-
sition for years." said Mr.. Conner. 81
am an old man, but | expect to put
this proposition through before I pass
away"
Project Is Entirely Feasible.
It is very feasible proposition
Judging from the statements of Mr..
Conner, the fall of the Pecos river
and the lay of the land. The power
plant proposed and promoted by him
would prove of the greatest benefit to
this city and section. Besides the
power furnished to the largest cities
in the territory it is not an impossible
ity that most Of the waste land could
be made to bloom as rose by irriga
ton, the water being furnished by
means of pumps run by electric mo-
tors. The entire Estancia Valley could
be made fertile and easily placed un.
der irrigation under this system.
The project is of general interest
and will be watched by the public who
are interested in the future and wei.
fare of the Sunshine Territory.
Mr.. Conner feels confident that be.
fore another year rolls by the works
will be we'll under way The Chicago
capitalists who are figuring with MI .
Conner to finance the project have am
pie means and if they take hold of it
there will be no stock for sale. Mr..
Conner expects to have all the prelim-
inaries completed within few weeks
and he looks for the Chicago capital
lists to visit here and examine the pro-
ject within the next sixty days.

CANERAPHoNE PERFORMANCE PLEASES THE CROWDS

The Cameraphone again played to a good sized audience last evening and on all sides could be heard words of praise for the entertainment. These pictures are now the talk of the town, and are decidedly the most novel form of en- tertainment offered the amusement seek CTS in the last generation. The bill for this week is 8 specially selected one. It includes Emmett Mack, ' the well known Irish comedian; "Clara Thropp," the dainty soubrette, singing '" Let It Alone" and "Don't Get Mar ried Any More, Ma; the song, "0h! The Women,' taken from the Merry Widow opera, is very ably rendered by a male sextette; Rudolph and Rosie at the roller skating rink is one of the best and funniest vaudeville skits so far presented; Lifting the Mortgage billed as page from real life, is a very touching little melodrama we'll acted throughout. The musical hit of the last two seasons, "Dixie Dan, '' from the Great White Way, is a vaude- vile number that carried the house by storm. All and all the program is good and will be shown for the last time tonight.

ADJUSTMENTS.
VAUDEVILLE AT THE IRIS.

Hart X Woodley, a clever song and dance team, began week. engage. ment at the Iris last night under rather discouraging circumstances, but man. aged to please big house in spit of all handicaps. The team, which was expected Sunday night, did not arrive until yesterday evening at o'clock, and thirty minutes later were on the boards at the Iris without So much as the formality of an introduction to the pianist, let alone a rehearsal. To sue eeed under such conditions is only to be achieved by exceptionally clever people, and that it just what the team proved itself Hart made hit with his wooden shoe buck and wing dancing, and tonight the team will be seen in its full act, with singing, dancing and comedy.
 Miss Westfall made big hit last night with her clever character song, looking prettier than ever, and was also heartily eneored in her illustrated song, perhaps the best she has sung here.
 The moving pictures were we'll liked, "Salome,' comical parody of the dance that has created so much of sensation in London and Paris. It is screamer from the start.

JUNGLE JOSH PERKINS,

r There is peculiar charm about a clever rural comedy, when presented with fidelity to nature. Such one is "Uncle Josh Perkins," the realistic comedy drama, that will be presented at Dreamland theater tonight by the original New York company of artists on their way to the coast.
 The play is said to be wonderfully original in construction, and to possess many thrilling situations; and, while pathos and humor intermingle all through the story, added zest is given by numerous specialties, so cleverly in troduced throughout the various acts, that the harmony and plot of the play are always maintained
 It is said to possess an atmosphere as pure as the scent of new mown hay, and tells a pretty love story, in high ly original manner; splendid stage set tings depicting rural scenes of lifelike simplicity and well known landmarks of New York are used in the four acts of the play.
 This is one of those few plays that sends the audience home in better frame of mind and on better terms with itself, after sitting throughout the en- tertainment.
 This celebrated company will be here for one night only, tonight, and we would advise all that desire good seats to make their reserves early this morn ing, as the house should be packed i. The theater will be well heated and warm, as the management is adding additional heating facilities.

FOREST RESERVE FUNDS REMAIN
 'AT HOME
GOVERNMENT NAMES BANKS
 WHICH ARE TO BE USED AS ~ IT'S DEPoSITORIEs.
About One Million Dollars Will Hence forth Remain sin Circulation in Sec tions Where Collected Instead of Be- ing Forwarded to Treasury.

WASHINGTON, December 7.--The names of six government Repositories which are to handle the receipts of the United States forest service, from De- cember l, when it's organization for the administration of the national forests was removed from Washington to six field districts in the west, have just been announced.
 The designation of western banks to handle the moneys received from tim Der sales, permits for stock grazing and for special uses of various resources in the national forests is an innovation which will mean that all the receipts of the forest service in the future will be deposited to the credit of the treas urer of the United States and made available for circulation in the part of the country from which it is de- rived, within the limits of the amounts allowed by law for government depos- it's, instead of being forwarded to the treasurer at Washington. The banks which have been named and which have all consented to serve the government, are located in the district headquarters of the forest service, at Denver, Ogden,
 Albuquerque, Missoula, Portland and San Francisco. e
 The estimated receipts for the nation al forests for the present fiscal year will be approximately $2,000OoO, mak- ing the receipts from each of the six districts range from $275,O00 to $350,- 900. The Repositories will receive all remittances due the government for use of the national forests after Decem. Der l, and deposit them to the credit of the treasurer of the United States. According to the plan which has been approved by the officials of the United States treasury, the forest service and the officers of the various Repositories, when q timber sale, stock grazing, or special use application is made, the for est supervisor will send out letter of transmittal in duplicate and tell the applicant to remitaahe amount directly to the national baak which is the de pository for the district. Remittanees will be in the. forusof a national bank draft, express or post office money or der, and will be payable to the bank, since forest supervisors are not allow ed to receive money. The letter of transmittal is virtually deposit slip to accompany tho remittance. The duplicate copy goes, to the district fiscal agent. All remittances will be assem- bled and checked up at the end of each day, a single certificate of deposit made out by the bank and mailed to the secretary of the treasury This sim pie plan which has required months for the treasury officials and officers of the forest service to- perfect, is one which will expedite business both for the users of the national forests and for the force in the office of each dis, trict forester, and sat the same time will make it possible for the govern ment to deposit the national forest re- ceipts in western banks, and help the in that particular section of the country where it is originally spent.
