Favorable action was taken by
the council Tuesday evening on
several water main extensions aud
new sidewalks, including the new
six foot walk to the cemetery, the
engineers plans aud specifications
for this needed improvement being
accepted.
Other walks receiving favorable
action are along the south eide of
Magnolia street between Wyoming
and Mesaba avenues, along the
south side of Hemlock street be.
tween Mesaba and Railroad ave-
nues, and along the east side of
Central avenue between Spruce
aud Cedar streets.
The committee on light and water
reported favorably on the applica-
tion for water main extensions and
the placing OF hydrants at t-conven-
lent points on Elm and Pine
streets, the extension of the mains
on these streets being cast one
block to Railroad avenue. Another
water main extension is south on
Virginia avenue from Poplar street
to a point near the new St. Clair
machine shops, thence east along
the north side of Andersou's Ad-
dition to Virginia and north
through the Souti,side Addition to
connect with the present main at
the corner of Beech aud Mesaba.
The city engineer was instructed
to complete plans and specifica-
tions for a cement walk to the Ii
brary building-a needed improve
ment.
An ordinance providing for the
licensing of CANNES was given it's
first reading. and will doubtless
receive favorable action when
brought up for adoption.

At the, annual meeting on Satur-

condemned the action of the de.
batting board which oversurned-or
attempted to overturn-the decision
of the judges and ordered another
debate between the Virginia and
Minneapolis teams, the decision of
the judges beng favorable to Vir-
ginia. The directors censured the
board and gave it az their belief
that under no circumstances should
the debating board invalidate the
decision of the judges legally given
in any debate held under the aus
pices of the society.
At this meeting all members of
the Board of Directors were in at
tendance with the exception of
Supt. Hobbs, of the North Side
High, Minneapolis, who refrained
from being present at the del,bera-
tions and hearing the just criticism
and condemnation heaped upon the
debating board which had acted
under his approximations in chang,

cost of about 100000 aud which has
since had like amount put on in
repairs and improvements-and
through the assistance OF a sturdy
farm team arrived in Virginia at
7:30 this morning, the last twenty
four miles of the distance having
been made from ll:W O'Clock last
evening by means of the kindly as
sistance thus rendered..

the party at any stage of the trip
being after they got securely

the direction Of the bureau Of eatomo-
logy. The quarantine should be d.
rected against ell territory infested
or which may become infested. rather
than against list Of certain coun-
ties.
The quarantine officer should have
ample authority 70 modify IN special
cases. whatever rules and regulations
are promulgated Such special cases
might occur, for instance, in the treat
ment of baled cotton. There Is no
doubt that general quarantine should
be enforced against This product.
There is considerable danger in ship
ping baled cotton to mills where cot
ten fields are adjacent, since the bag
ging around bales that have been
stored near gins in infested territory
might carry weevils Nevertheless, a
general quarantine should not be made
to apply to shipments Of baled cotton
to mills In the cities, or TO shipments
to ports for direct expert. Many SINH
lnr cases where special action may be
necessary will arise from time to
time. The best method for provid-
Ing for such cases is to grant consid-
'erable breadth of authority to the
quarantine officer"
Oklahoma produced last year nearly
a million bales of cotton, thus ranking
among the foremost cotton produc-
ing states I'm the Union. n the spread
of the weevil Is suppressed and the
destructive force minimlzed It is pos
sible that the yield next year will be
much greater, possibly one million
and a half bales of cotton, taking in
consideration the fast the restriction
from the alienation of Indian lands Of
East Oklahoma have been removed
and that section becomes the scene
OF more incentive farming.
Representative Carter is authority
for the statement that only one-quar-
ter Of the entire area of East Okla
homa Is under cultivation. II this is
true and the removal of restrictions
has the desired effect, it will not be
surprising II the cotton yield will not
be as great or greater than million
and half bales.

fenas than can be found ia a Ike
population in the country. Strange TO
say, the Oklahoma legislature over
looked the cocaine habit and there Is
no law prohibiting the unrestricted
sale OF the drug.
In q statement made by the police
department of Musl,ogee, II IS found
that there are IN Muskogee 200 con
frmed users OF the drug. And this
includes only those who use it to such
an extent as to become noticeable on
the streets. A large majority Of them
are negroes. but Indians take to
coke" Ike ducks take to water when
they once get started.
II is said by druggists that the sale
OF coke Is an accurate barometer OF
the amount OF whiskey being sold,
and the police bear out the statement.
During the period following state
hood after the federal prohibition law
was abolished and prior to the pas
sage OF the Blllups prohibition bill,
there was more liquor sold In Eastern
Oklahoma than during any time in its
history There was a corresponding
decrease in the sale OF cocaine.
Except for the undesirable class u

IS bought in ten and twenty-five cent
packages by negroes. IN nearly every

drug because liquor or some other
