The rain fell in buckets, the
thunder racketed terribly, and
the lightning drew zigzag lines
of bright gold upon the violet
sky.
so you, too, don't know what
an inch of rain is exactly said
the weather clerk, as he looked
at his rain-measuring instru-
ment. Very few people do, il
seems. I'll explain it to you.
IAN acre is 6,272,640 square
inches. An inch of water on an
acre is, therefore. 6,272, $40 cubic
inches. That amount, at 227
cubic inches to the gallon, equals
$1,000 gallons, or 22O, 900 pounds
or 100 tons.
An inch of rain is, in other
words, rain falling at the rate OF
100 tons to the acre. "CPhila-

Ralph Martin Speaks Out.

Ralph Martin, candidate for
sheriff on the Democratic ticket.
speaks out on the matter Of law
enforcement. Like Mr.. Majors,
the Democratic candidate for
county attorney, he speaks clean
and clear; there is no straddling
in the making plain of the posi-
ton of these two men. Mr.. Mar
tins letter follows:
COLUMBUS, KS, Sept. 20, 1908.
Mr.. Chas. L. Smith,
Editor Baxter News,
DEAR SIR:-You called my at
tention to the fact that Mr.. AL.
Majors, candidate for county at
torney of Cherokee county, had
defined his position in a letter
with reference to the enforcement
of all criminal laws, including
the prohibitory law; and you ask
my position with reference to this
matter. Replying to you, l de-
sire to state that l stand square
ly upon the Cherokee county
Democratic platform, and call
your attention to that plank in
our platform which refers to law
enforcement, which reads as fol-
lows: THE Democratic party OF
Cherokee county stands for an
honest, faithful and impartial en-
forcement of all the criminal laws
| of the state, out Of the non-en-
forcement of which has arisen
high taxes. graft and official cor
ruption; and we pledge to the
people that our candidates, il
elected t6 Office, shall faithfully
carry out this policy of our party
These are the things for which
stood before the primary election
and continue to stand for; and il
elected sheriff of Cherokee county
II will stand for these things
which the people are demanding,
] Yours very truly,
RALPH MARTIN.

81 PADLOCKS IN

John Marshall Asks for
Batch of Lnjun0fiOnS
at Columbus.

John Marshall, attorney for
the state temperance union and
an assistant attorney general has
Just returned from Columbus,
where he has been looking after
some joiut cases. Mr.. Marshall
is going to have a busy time in
Cherokee county shortly. He
has filed motions in the district
court there to put padlocks on
iifty-seven buildings that are
now being used as joints. There
are permanent injunctions against
all of these buildings but the
jointists pay no attention to the
orders of the court and the coun-
ty attorney does not seem to
think it worth while to inter-
fere or have the jointists arrested
for contempt. c. W. Trickett,
assistant attorney general put
padlocks on the doors of all the
buildings and this kept them
closed until the owner of the
building got tired doing without
any rent from his property and
made arrangements to rent it to
some Legitimate concern. Tope-

Gated at panville, ILL.,, when they
sent their buyer, Mr.. John T,
White, into this camp for the
high grade ore which they use
exclusively. This New Smelling
Co. Is quite an advantage to the
camp, as it makes a new con-
sumner for just the class of high
grade ores which is produced in
the Quapaw field. 1t means that
4 better price will be paid for
this districts product, which will
attract capital to its development.
A big strike was made the past
week at the Wichita diggings
just to the north of the Sweeney
mill, demonstrating that the rich
ore bed now being worked in the
north drifts of the Sweeney mine
extended over the entire area
between these properties.
The Common Law has again
gotten into the ground and is
making preparations for a good
production.
Big Chief is prospecting with
satisfactory results, at the same
time milling some very fine ore.
J. w. Barnes, drilling on his
lease from E. F. Sweeney on the
Buck land, made another big
drill strike this week. He has
interested capital with him and
development will be started at
once.
Just to the southeast of the j.
W. Barnes strike, the Creech
Mining Co. is making good sill
cate diggings. This company
appeared in the producers list the
past week with a car of silicate
for which it topped the market.
More life is now apparent in
the Quapaw reservation than at
any time since the ore was first
found. Attracted by the Miami
camps richness, investors natur-
ally look to the surrounding ter
ritory, and when they see the
wonderful developments going on
in this camp to the east of Mi
ami they take to it most readily.
This is certainly a fine object
lessun to some of our neignbor-
ing older camps, showing that by
helping the younger camps, that
the older ones never lose any
thing, but on the contrary helps
itself.
