Washington, D. c., April 2.-Oyer
S.5OO,OOO acres Of land will be freed
from restrictions should the Garfield
removal restrictions bin become
law as originally drafted, The country
is indebted to Representative Carter
for these figures. Carter could make
menu on figures If necessary and as
the story goes spent whole days in
preparation of the statement which
shows exactly how many adults, min
ors, intermarried citizens, mixed
breeds and freedmen will be benefited
by the prposed legislation together
with the number Of acres held by each
class OF citizenship. It is probably
one of most complete tables Of its
kind ever compiled in Washington
covering the citizenship of Oklahoma.
In the Choctaw and Chickasaw ma
tions alone 4,2S2,s51 acres are affected
divided as follows one-half Or more
Indian blood minors, 3,Sl0; adults2,-
333; total 6,143, or total Of 6o9,6OO
acres; less than half Indian blood in
Guiding intermarried citizens, adults

221; total 1925, at 329 acres each.
making a grand total OF 4,246,,0S0
acres Total number Of freedmen ben
eftted 1854 which at 40 acres apiece
amounts to 425.se0 acres. Altogether
277l3 Indians are effected in these
two nations alone Mr. Carter's calcu-
lation is that 9gS,1ss acres Of land
are alienable in the two nations at the
present time.

Chickasha

Chicago, April 2-Oil burning en-
gines are being introduced on the
Kansas and Oklahoma divisions and
by not later than May it is intended
that all road and yard engines be-
tween Herington Kan. and Chicka-
sha, Okla, and the the yards at Okla
homa City, be equipped for burning
oil as fuel The other yards on the
Kansas and Oklahoma divisions where
the engines will burn oil are Wichita,
Caldwell and El Reno
The introduction Of oil as a fuel on
these two divisions is probably a
wedge for its Introduction over the
entire southwest, and likely a part Of
the Choctaw division, inasmuch as
great economics are effected by its
use. to say noting of the elimination
of smoke and the saving Of time in
handling engines at terminals.
Altogether 46 engines are now being
converted at the Horton and Shawnee
shops Eight Of these are yard en-
gine and 38 are road engines. The yard
engines are class J, six-wheel switch
engines. The freight locomotives be-
ing converted are class G consolidation
engines. For passenger service two
8-wheel class B and ten 1O-wheel class
D engines are being converted, while
the remainder are class d freight en-
gines to handle the locals.
This move will be followed by the
elimination Of the coaling stations at
Wichita and Caldwell, while at the
other points coaIing stations will be
maintained for engines on cross lines.
For supplying the oil burning engines
with the residuum, 5OO-barrel stor-
age tanks will be erected at Herring
ton, Wichita Caldwell, FL Reno and
Chickasha, and tanks Of 300-barrel ca
pacity will be erected at Oklahoma
City and at Horton. where heavy re
pairs will be made on the converted
engines. Oil for use in the converted
engines will be bought from the Stan

ALLlSON'S SUCCESSOR
Governor Cummins Wants Choice
Left to the People

Des MOines, Aug. 26.-Nearly thou
sand Republicans We're in conference
here In an effort to allay the fractional
strife which has torn the party during
the last few years and which is be-
lieved by many to menace the success
of the Republican ticket in this state.
The most startling incident Of the
occasion was Governor Cummins' an
nouncement that he had decided to call
special session Of the legislature to
dispose Of the senatorial situation,
which, since the death Of Senator ALI
son, has threatened a renewal Of hos
tlities. This special session will be
asked to amend the state primary law
to permit Republican voters to select a
senatorial candidate at the regular
election In November, instead of leav-
ing 1t to legislative causus.
Last night Cummins issued his proc
hmaton for the special session Of the
legislature to amend the state primary
law, liking Aug. 81 as the day for con
vening. The proclamation sets forth
as the governors reason for convenine

whelming majority of the people OF the

The Influence of Vermon mt.

A good deal of comment, pro and con,
has been made regarding the influence of
Vermont's Republican majority in Sep
TENDER upon the November election as
regards the whole country. There has
been shown a wide difference Of opinion,
perhaps here in Vermont. Certain
newspapers have secuted the idea in I'M
mistakable language, and some leading
citizens have been reported as putting
no faith in Vermont as "a Political
Barometer"
AS bearing upon this subject, a state
ment made by the Hon. G. l.. Marsh
President of the B. j. Kendall Co., of
Enosburgh Falls, certainly indicates in
one critical election at least, the action
of Vermont in September had very inn
portant bearing. In this respect Mr.
Marsh authorizes the following state
ment:
During the first campaign between
Mckinley and Bryan l was in Mime
apolis for several days before the cleo
ton was held here in Vermont. wal
stopping with Mr.. Record he was di
rector in bank in Minneapolis, anC
he told me at that time of the YEN
the banks out there borrowed money
from banks in New York to buy w
the crops, and up to that time they
were not able to get dollar on accoun
of the condition of the country. but thu
next day after the election in Vermont
word was telegraphed from New Yorl
banks that they could have all the none,
they wanted. The large Republican
majority of Vermont gave them conf
dence that the country would go al
right. So much for large Republican
majority in Vermont. clipper.

1t is more than likely that the ruffians
who have heretofore Uttered the str Gets
with banana peel, artfully placed to

habitually litter the main streets with

foul language enough to sink Sodom,
are the very ones who have gone little
further and desecrated the flag of their
country Saturday There is POSSIBLE
ity that some one else is to blame, but it
is not likely.
One way to prevent, in part, at least,
this deplorable state of affairs is to in

done SO with beneficial results; and it
looks now as if Middlebury should take
some action on the same matter.
