the state treasurer for the erection Of pub
lie buildings, charitable and penal insti-
tutions. A large portion of the state lands
have been subject to lease but few years
and the lands granted the colleges by the
enabling ac lover one million acres) have
not been leased except temporarily and
the receipts from them are not included
in the amounts here given.
There is great diversity Of opinion as
to the value of these lands owned by the
state. Many sections of the land are
known to contain valuable mineral de-
posits and many other pieces are adjacent
to the larger towns and cities of the state
and are very valuable for townsite pur-
poses.
A large portion of the land, including a
million acres of the special college lands
granted by the enabling act, are in the
extreme western portion of the state,
remote from railways and markets and
hence of minimum value, but the lands
in the central portion (the eastern part Of
old Oklahoma territory are in thoroughly
developed communities with good markets
and shipping facilities and their value at
the most conservative estimate is surely
great enough to bring the average value
of all the lands to $40 per acre. making a
total valuation Of over thirty-one million
dollars. which a careful examination Of
the appraisement and other records Of the
state land department shows to be an
low figure.

so long ago. was watched carefully
by a lady autograph hunter whe

when passengers order any drinks

collected into little bundles at the end
OF the week and then redeemed. The
fair huntress darted after the stew

VALUE OF SCHOOL LANDS.

Fred L. Wenner manager Of the statis-
tical bureau Of the Oklahoma Federation
Of Commercial and Industrial organiza-
tions. has prepared the following article
dealing with the status Of the school
lands. Inasmuch as a vote is to be had
this fall on the sale Of these lands, the
subject is one Of great Importance at this
time. and all information concerning it
should be read with interest, in order that
az intelligent vote may be cast The
article follows:
Just at this time when the question ot
the sale or retention Of the school lands
is being discussed authentic information
as to the character, extent and value of
the lands owned by the state will be of

ernment for three different purposes, but

institutions Of learning Of the state and
sections Ss in these same districts held
for a public building fund.
In addition to these grants, under the
terms Of the enabling act a special grant
Of land was mede to each Of the higher
educational institutions amounting in all
to i.O5o.0OO acres. No school, college or

A LONG SER

Fifty years in the public school work of one city is not given to every teach CT to serve Yet this Is the extent of the teaching career of Principal John c. Lewis of the Webster school dis trict, who has asked to be retired at the end of the present term Many have spent their entire lives in less than this period and then have gone the way of all the earth.
 During these fifty years Principal Lewis has witnessed the development of a great part of the school system of the city, with ten times the number of teachers in service now than when he began his work. Many of the sterling men of business fife in New Haven, who have become in a large sense the life of the city, have been under the instruction of Principal Lewis,

THE FITNESS OF THINGS.

There Is great deal that Is admir- able about Fighting Bob" Evans. as the American people affectIonately call him. He may be brusque In manner and rough In speech at times. as used but beneath his tightly buttoned jack ct beats warm heart, His American ism and duty to his country have never been questioned. He Is now on his way overland to Washington, after finishing his long service in way that adds to his credit
 But the admiral has especially a good fund of that article said to be scarce, common sense. He was asked by an interviewer what he thought of the proposal to put forward his name as a vice presidential candidate Here is his reply: I've been threatened with jail and lot of things have happened 10 me, but 1 never was threatened with anything as bad as that" Such a prop ostion as presenting his name as q vice. presidential candidate he regards as calamity, because he knows best for what he Is fitted.
 There are any number of others who do not hesitate to invite calamity. The question of fitness does mot trouble them over much, whether for the pres idency or vice-presdeney. The office is the important thing that looms big But the right man in the right place is as essential in the vice presidential chair, as presiding officer of the na- tional senate, as in the presidential DO.

Ing Knowledge and giving right direc- tion to tho character, will surely come to rich fruton, Such satisfaction is in the nature of compensation lmpos- sible to be estimated in dollars and cents, If q worthy teacher looks back over his years of service and observes tho number of those who have grown the better and arc contributing much to the common welfare, he Is to be par doned, If quietly feeling possesses him that he has wrought into the sue cesses of his many pupils much of the thought and interest of his own life, Such a sharing in consciousness can come only to him who has put much into the lives of others through long term of service.
 A devoted school teacher has a work that is second tp none in the peculiar and incessant demands made upon him, As 1t has become the habit of many parents to leave to the teacher some particulars of training that presumably might be a service of tho home, and as many children gathered in public schools especially have homes incapa- ble of giving the training they really need there Is addad to the numerous duties of the teacher such watchful- ness over the moral character and the formation of good habits as are ne- cesslty in developing good citizens from the pupils committed to him. Con Isclentlous teachers are ever concerned about these matters.
 There Is reason too to believe tha
 few parents realize the expenditure O
 nerve energy in ways other thai routine class room instruction put fortl
 by teachers. To provide every facll
 fly possible. in not only the, materia

A SUCCESSFUL AERopLANE.

Unless accounts are misleading there are two brothers who are making giant | strides these days toward the solution of the ageless problem of air navlga- ton. On silent North Carolina beach, with the azure-blue ocean as a background. with the gittering sand dunes beneath them almost their sole witnesses the Wright brothers are propelling a 95O-pound. heayier-than- air aeroplane this way and that in cir cles. up and down and etraightaway, seemingly at will like the flight of some monster bird Their latest achievement came Wednesday when they success fully essayed circular course of little more than three miles, returning to within few iards of the starting point in a little more than three min utes. IL seems to be nothing short of an epoch-making event. It must be remembered that both the brothers ride at the same time only once before has a similar aeroplane carried two men at once and it only went few hundred yards. But the Wright broth CTS look upon the accomplishment as nothing out of the ordinary, assuring their questioners that in 1905 they sue cessfully went twsnty-four miles in an- other machine in thirty-eight minutes most of the time travelling at the rate of fifty miles an hour.
 The most wonderful thing about the line of experiments these inventors have taken up Ia the fact that no gas bag is used in connection with the fly ing machine. Progress is made as consistently against the wind as with l lit. The machine is said to move with all the ease and grace of bird but with more than bird-like directness | This Is made possible by the use of motor propeling huge -bladed fans and | hy parallel surfaces. against which the air strikes 90 that the whole glides along. The steering is accomplished by means of big wings that rise to either side So safe is the areoplane that it's inventors say they could keep | 1t under perfect control with all safety even should the motor stop when they were at an altitude of several thoueand feet.
 What there is left for the Wright brothers to prove that they arc on the right track toward attaining the end sought-that of successful air nsviga- tion--it is difficult to see, only the working out of their principles re- mains and who knows but that within a few years the dream of the ages, which Jointly with that of perpetual motion had baflled scientific men and
 driven not few of them Insane. will
 have become reality, and we will see
 men travelling over our cities like
 great winged birds? Further develop
 ments will he awaited with interest ev-
 anywhere.
