On December Is the state of Ok

at the front door of the court house
at Chandler, 10000 acres of the
best land in the county. The
farms will be sold on forty years
time at per cent. with the privi-
lege of paying all after five years.
Every tract has been appraised by
the state school land department.
The lands are fertile, we'll watered
and excellently adapted for general
farming purposes. All crops,
fruits and vegetables, that grow
in any part of the temperate zone
grow well here. The staple crops
are cotton, corn, alfalfa, potatoes.
oats and wheat. Lincoln county
produces more cotton than any
county of its size in the United
States. The Lincoln county agri-
cultural exhibit took second place
at the Oklahoma State Fair recent.

No farm is more than two miles
from school or more than ten
miles from a railroad. Nearly
every farm has free delivery, there

The county is thoroughly covered
by rural telephones. We have
good bridges, a 100000 court
house and other improvements in
keeping. Natural gas is p:rc'l

The New York Sun openly
charges the Sugar Trust with hav-

through fraudulent sugar entries
at the New York custom house.
Now it is reported that the Secre-
tary of the Treasury has ordered
a thorough overhauling in his de-
partmeDt to stop the loss of reve-
nue., and has proclaimed the New
York custom house ''nest of cor
ruption." 1t is also announced
from that city, after months of
quiet investigation by government
investigators, one man, a mere
superintendent of the American
Sugar Refining Co. (he Trust) has
been arrested on the charge of
false weighing. He has probably
consented, for consideration, to
become the scapegoat of the men
at the head of the Trust who had
pocketed the proceeds of this $780,

real offenders be punished for this
