ARE GETTING WI ST
Are Waking Up to the Fact That Land
Is Worth Something Out Here

IAN advertising campaign will pre-
cede the actual sale and delivery of
school land ordered sold as soon as
the 1,050,000 acres of new college
school lands ordered sold as soon as
possible" said John N. Shepler, the
sales superintendent. "We mnst first
organize our department, but that
will not take long; then we will ad
vertise the lands to be sold generally
and will conduct our campaign of ad-
vertising both through the state press,
local papers and by booklet, and will
also run ads in three periodicals OF
national circulation"
The school land board is taking the
position that advertising is a mighty
big end of any sales department these
days, and intends seeing that the state
does not suffer through lack of adver-
tising her big land bargains.
OF the million odd acres of land to
be Immediately sold, approximately
nine-tenths lies in the Oklahoma Pan
handle. that long arm extending west
ward to New Me xico and in sight OF
the Rockies, separating the Texas
Panhandle from Kansas and Colorado
Inc Oklahoma Panhandle is cut up i'm
three counties--Texas, Cimaffon and
Beaver. Ten years ago it was supposed
to be barren beyond all hopes, as was
the Panhandle proper, the abode OF
winds, prairie dogs and coyotes. But
in later years, when immigration is
buying up the Texas Panhandle at $5
to sl5 per acre and overfiowing into
the sandy slopes of New Mexico, these
three Oklahoma counties are beginning
to come'into their own.
AS an example of what the purchas-
ers can do in this Oklahoma Panhandle
the following statistics recently re-
ceived from Texas county by the state
board of agriculture are given: There
are now 1893 farms in the county, 20e
being rented, the remainder owned !;
l9O, ,es2 acres are in cultivation, Is, ,63l
are in meadow, 27s, ,299 in pasture or
(most of this last item is school land to
be Sold /; 90, ,406 acres were in corn last
year; 84,643 acres in wheat 1900
acres in oats; 23,052 acres in kaffir
corn; 13.1i0 acres in broom corn !;
1892 acres in milo maize; and several
settlers who evidently moved from the
Sunny South to these great rolling
prairies planted and gathered 90 bales
of cotton. In addition to these pro-
ducts. peanuts, onions, potatoes, beans
and other like products were raised
for the markets. Pretty good )" says
the board, for the wind-driven'
prairies."
Incidentally, Sales Superintendent
Shepler thinks so, too, and he intends
to get number of people to think his
way about it, The lands will sell at
bargain prices" he says, but it won't
be poor bargain for the man buying. :"

There was no clue as to who they were,
as theirs was the last of the train that
had been raided except that of F. Ii.
Aubrey, who had escaped on account
of being out on hunt when the train
was attacked The dead man must
have been behind far enough SO that
he turned south, hoping to escape
them in that way. but after an orgie
at the killing of the trainmen the In
dians struck his trail aud followed
him to his death
"As the scouts had nothing but
their sabers with which to dig they
carried the bodies to the top of the
rock bluff lowered theminto ledge and
covered them over with hose stones.
And thus was buried the first man and
woman in what is now Texas county,

show you the place and their skulls.
ALSO on the same day there were
thirteen Mexicans killed and buried
some near Old man Thompson's place.
some at the mouth of Pony Greek and
some at the Golf Greek Springs, sup
posed to have been killed by the In
dians, but it is probable that they were
killed by buffalo hunters. ."-Ex.

Why it Rains i'm
the Panhandle

Way back k in 1883 people wondered
why it rnined in the Panhandle in the
late summer when other portions OF
the state were parched and dry In
Burks' Texas almanac for the year
1888, he made this explanation
"The reason is plain. During the
spring and summer months the pre-
vailing winds are from the southeast.
They blow necessarily, and with an
average velocity of about IL miles
per hour. These southeast trade winds
blow from the African coast, obliouely
across the Atlantic ocean, Caribbean
sea and Gulf Of Mexico. Passing over
this evaporating surface they become
heavily ladened with vapor. They
strike the coast Of Texas. depositine
rain as they 60, until they reach the
mountains and elevated table lands of
northwestern Texas. The low temper
ature of the elevation wrings the re-
naming moisture from them in copious
showers. The rainfall is sufficient to
afford a constant current in the Red
Wichita. Pease, Brazos and other
tributaries.
We know that the vapor contained
in the wind isi condensed when it

J.W. Colt Gets Another Chase,
This Time With
Economy.

BALTIMORE, April 30.-In spite of the
cold. dreary day, good-sized crowd went
out to the Pimlico track yesterday and
enjoyed some spirited racing. The card
looked easy to the regulars, and it turned
out so although some of the winners
were at odds on.
August Belmont's Half Sovereign, which
is quite likely to earn her fair share of
the stakes for which she is eligible this
year, made her first appearance of the
season in the second race and won rather
handily from Pantoufle and five others.
E. Dugan rated her along behind the pace
to the turn for home, and then let her
go to the front, to win by three parts of
a length.
]. w. Colt won his third steeplechase of
the meeting when Economy galloped
home an easy winner of the fourth race.
The mare was quoted al even money, and
she justified the short price by fencing in
clever style and coming away when Nc
Afee let her down, to win by three or four
lengths from Touchwood Seven horses
started and not a single fall marred the
