a part of his claim of So, $50 for open
ditch work on ditch No. 4, keeping
back 81, 500 to comply with the esti-
mate of the state engineer, as a
guaranty that the ditch would be
satisfactorily completed. We under
stand that as much as three feet of
mud and silt was found in the bot

which is liable to seriously impair
it's usefulness unless removed by the
contractor or by spring floods.

MORE BUSHELS TO THE ACRE

Farmers sow their seed to grow the most
bushels OF the best grade. They have long ago
given up the method of our forefathers who
tramped the fields scattering the seed broadcast
with the steady swing of their sturdy arms
Modern machinery of wood and steel under
perfect control of the operator and adjustable
to varying conditions of soil and seed is now
demanded. Van Brunt Seeders and Drills have
been planting the fertile fields of this Western
land since 1861. They have kept in step with
the progress of half century Their reputa-
ton is established. To farmers who want more
bushels to the scre their use is recommended.

A big republican leader is being
sought by officers. To protect a

One negro woman decided 40
acres for four watermelons, and
then did not have enough money to
take herself and three children

and entertained in regal fashion,
the understanding being they
would give the hosts the first deeds
Some negroes, as soon as they sold
40 acres to one man, would sell
the same land to another and now
all is chaos and confusion. In

less than $1,000 acres of land were

lands of the freedmen there's a
mixup unique in the history of the
West Federal and state officials
are at loggerheads, and it is Ger,
tain that the courts will be con-
gested for years with land suits.
The freedmen are negroes who
were held as slaves by the Indians
and were released by order of the
government after the Civil war.
When congress a few years ago al
lotted something like 100,000,0O0
acres TO the Indians of the five civ
ilized tribes, it also allotted millions
Of fine acres to the freedmen. The
latter were allowed to sell all their
lands, barring homesteads of 40
acres each. In a majority of cases
the negro not only sold his sur
plusage but bartered away his
homestead of 40 acres many times
over.
A few weeks ago the negroes re-
ceived legal authority to sell their
homesteads and the big show has
just been pulled off in all the m
dian territory county seats. The
sights presented were worth COM
ing miles to witness.
When restriction" day came
5000 negroes and perhaps so H.
dams were in Muskogee, all claim
ing to have lands to SELL Of the
5000 negroes 80 per cent were
from the states and never owned
a foot of ground anywhere. OF the
10 per cent who had been allotted
land, nearly all had sold it by con-
tract months before. But every
man and woman claimed to own a
homestead and with the assistance
of negro and white lawyers they
located it to prospective pur'
chasers.
The land grsfters who were here
from Chicago, st. Louis, Kansas
City and Texas points, together
with the local grafters, were al
most as numerous as the negroes.
The bootleggers organized a union,
and the land man who wanted
whisky had to come across with
his sl.25 per pint in advance. All
the whisky is sold in dark colored
bottles, and in nine cases out of
10 the bottle had been refilled with
Arkansas river water, and the land
man was taken in at the very
start.

II has often been remarked by Wis.
itors and tourists that Honolulu wo-
men are particularly well dressed. Not
only do they manage to arrange the
dainty muslin and grass linen frocks
with a charm all their own but some
of the society women send abroad for
special frocks, which are the best ex-
amples Of the great artists, such as
Worth, Francis Felix, Ducet, Redfern,
Kate Kelley. II Is the dernier mot of
the best style not to be too evidently
well dressed. Each modine of the
new world as well as the old strikes
an original note. The artists in wO-
mems clothes are recognizing this and
suiting each individual style more and
more. No longer does one arrange
the hair just like her neighbor. To
see most women here and elsewhere
in America is TO look at the same
pompadour, the same tilt to the hat
brim, and the same style of frock.
