OKLAHOMA FIXED IT.
Found a Way. to Dodge the Ridgeley
Ruling.

Governor Hoch has received word
that the Oklahoma legislature has
amended the bank deposit guaranty
law which was recently passed to en-
able the stockholders of national
banks to participate in the protection
of the guaranty fund. even though
the comptroller of the currency may
be able to block the participation of
the bank itself.
..As soon as that amendment to the
law was passed. said Governor Hoch
there were about 60 national banks
in Oklahoma applied for admission to
participation in the benefits of the
deposit guaranty fund.
The people who opposed the de-
post guaranty plan at the recent
snecial session of the Kansas iegisla-
ture will no doubt point to the ac-
ton of the Oklahoma legislature, in
amending the deposit law even be-
fore it went into effect as an example
of what comes of hasty and ill-ad-
yised legislation.

The mineral wealth of the country

There are too, in close proximity to
the road backed by the Kansans, long
mountain ranges covered with dense
growth of fine timber that has scarce
ly been touched and which can not be
exhausted in the course of the next 100

unoccupied territory, soon to become
sibilities, for which the government is
prosecuting its reclamation plans, the
scenery possesses a grandeur beyond
anything found along any trans
continental rail route, outside the
Grand Canyon Of the Colorado, and
here are still to be found isolated
herds of elk, antelope and other big
game so unaccustomed to the sight
of man as to be fearless of his ap-
proach, with quails, prairie chickens,
mountain grouse, jack rabbits and
cottontails so tame they may be
beaten down with stones or with an
ordinary whip, without resorting to
rifle or shot gun. The rivers and
small creeks TEEN with game fish and

mountain streams that a man can
literally step across without effort.

HEARING ON CAR BILL.

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE senate
committee on interstate commerce to-
day gave hearing on the Culberson-
Smith car and transportation service
bill, under which railroads engaged in
interstate commerce would be required
to promptly furnish cars to shippers.
Those who spoke in behalf of the Dill
were Judge s. H. Cowan of Texas, who
was one Of President Roosevelt's adj
yisers in relation to recent railroad rate
legislation; Colonel i. T. Pryor, presi-
dent Of the Cattle Raisers' association
of Texas; Murdo Mackenzie OF the
American Live Stock association; c. W.
Merchant of Texas, and A. E. Derickles
of Colorado. representatives of grain
and hay interests. also appeared
Judge Cowan addressed himself chief
ly to arguments that have been made
against such legislation on the ground
that the car shortage has been due TO
the inability of manufacturers or roll
ing stock to keep pace with the de-
mands.
He asked:
.sWhy is it that the railroads have
been giving such disastrous service to
the shippers as is admitted by their
own figures and proba bly, by the com
mon knowledge of everypooy ana the
individual experience of every shipper,
when. by their own sworn statenisnts'
they are possessed of more facilities
for performing the service IN the way
of cars, locomotives and main line
tracks in proportion to the traffic than
they had In 1900, period OF generaiiy
satisfactory service"
Replying to his own question. he
said: -
'aThe answer which we believe has
not been clearly presented peIore lles

tonnage system whereby they have at

before the county attorney this morn

dence of nistreatment, and secured a
warrant for the arrest of William
Lamb, another resident Of the village

dence given by Cleveland that the little
village of Richland had been the scene
of a red hot encounter between these
two citizens, in which Cleveland got
the heavy end of the bout. An outside

On account of age and its infirmities
the doctor has not engaged in active
practice for several years, but before
quitting work he had probably receiv-

society. surgeon of the 18th o. v. 1.
and medical director on the staff of
Major General Schuyler Hamilton.
