afternoon for Denver to be under the
care of an eminent eye specialist and

undergo a very serious operation.

left eye and while it was thought for
time that the injury was not seri-
Gus the eye failed to get better and
instead grew worse. DR.. r. V. Stiles,
who has had the young lady under
his care has advised her to go to
Denver to undergo an operation that
could not be well performed here.
Her many friends are hoping that she

CROP CONDITIONS DISCUSSED
BY SPECIAL AGENT WM. BAN.
BERoE YESTERDAY AFTER
TRIP OVER THIS SECTION.

Crops are looking better in this
section OF the country. especially
young corn Cotton is growing of
well. and work is being pushed. Boll
weevil Is getting in its work in the
fields that are painted close together
in drill, but where the cotton has
been thinncd out the depreciation is
not so apparent said special Agent
w. NJ Bamberge, VINO returned yes
terday morning from trip over this
section OF the country and had the
following TO say concerniB the gen
eral conditions of crops.
The past few days have made u
wonderful Improvement In the ci. ps
In this portion of the country. Cot.
ton Is growing OF well an, young corn
is developing rapidly. Farmers are
pushing their work In the fields and
with a few exceptions are working
along the lines advised by the gov
crnment experts.
The boil weevil is strongly I'm evil
dence and Is working industriouslv
in fields where the cotton is planted
closely in drills, but where there is a
sufficient space allowed between the
plants the depreciation is not so great
Boil worms have not as yet appeared.
except In the low. bottom lands. Web
worms have done some damage but
not enough TO prove a factor In the
crop.
tobacco has been planted i'm scv-
eral counties, namely Bryan, Murray.
and Choctaw. and 50 far has developed
strong growth. The curing OF the va
rictios grown will indicate whether
this crop will be a commercial factor
or not
In favored localities peanuts of the
Spanish variety are making abnormal
ly good crops.
The oat crop, so far. has proven
TO be light with rather poor yield
The hay crop is being harvested and
will give a large yield.
"A great many farmers are begin
ming to prepare land for fall crop
of Irish potatoes, and an unusually
large area will be planted"

well as for the appearance Of the
| city. \ force of hands was engaged
in cutting weeds and otherv ise clean
ing up the premises I'm and around
the depot and freight yards.
Should a visitor VINO is seeking to
make investments in this city, he
driven over the town ON very side
his eye will meet with weeds. weeds
growing everywhere in the street and
on the vacant lots. as well as numer-
Gus trash piles or course the weeds
that grow in Ardmore are unlike the
weeds that grow in any other sec.
tion of the United States--they are
not a detriment TO the general health
fulness OF the community. That is
what one would have to imagine by
walk over the city or else the weeds
would be ordered cut down and cart
ed away from the vacant lots and
the city would also cut the weeds
from the streets
Weeds and grass on some Of the
residence streets of the city are about
knee high. and on the vacant lots are
shoulder high to the average man.
Ardmore has the least death rate of
any Wy Ol llS size III lUt WbIlu, nut
unless the city authorities do some
thing to make the property owners
clean up and clean up themselves,
this record will not last very long.
Everybody had good excuse. as
well as the city. few weeks back
during the rainy spell. but that has
passed aud now is the time for the
weeds 10 be cut and moved of so as
to protect the health Of the commun
ity.
Not only are weeds a good breeding
place for mosquitoes, but the general
growth OF the vegetation in this city
make weeds good ace where
snakes may live. 4 walk over the
city will satisfy the most fastiduous
Not only should the weeds be cut,
but should be carted out of the city,
because decaying vegetable matter is
as deleterious as the growing weeds.
Somebody should get busy before II
Is too late.

CHICkASAwS AND TAXATION
MEMBER OF CAIcKAsAW SENATE
GIVES HIS VIEWS ON
The SUBJECI.

The Chickasaw Indians. as well as
the ChoCtaW Indians. intend To fight

The Indians propose To make the state

Governor Douglas II Johnston. of the
Chickasaws. will call a meeting of
the nation following the meeting to be
held 10y the Choctaws on July Is and
l6.
From what can be- gathered about
the question, 10 seems as II the Ia.
dian desires to bear his just burden of
taxation the same as other citizens.
aud has enough personal property so
as tu make his share about equal to
th" white mans share. but under the
treaty stipulations which has bound
the Indian TO this section of the conn.
try when De was moved from Mis-
sI-sippi hero the federal government
guaranteed him against taxation.
G. W. tBud) Young of Bcrwyu. a
member of the thickasaw senate and
an intormarricd citizen. had the fol
lowing Ia say on the proposition yes.
tcrdly morning when seen.
'ruc removal of restrictions ON the
sale OF lands of Indians was favored
by both the Chickasaw and Choctaw
nations. and both legislatures of the
two nations mcmorialized congress to
pass OBJ. lill, but the Indians did not
want their treaty rights concerning
taxation of their lands mcddlcd with
bN Dee stale authorities when the
trainers of the state constitution com.
plctcd their work and insured the In.
dian that his land would not be- bur.
dcncd with taxation the Indian sup.
ported Ice constitution but now II
seems as II some of the county CON.
missioners are dcsirous of overriding
the constitution. The way i'm which
tn" various county commissioners are
going about the matter looks To me
like the state wants to conhscatc th,
lands of a large number Of minor
children by taxing them The state
authorities may look for a fight ON
the subject and in the end the In
dians will win out.
"All the Indian wants Is a square
deal, according To the treaty stipula
