Tribal Lands Involved.

Washington, D. C.-Such an ovee- turn of titles as perhaps never has been attempted in any state is con templated in the action which bends before the supreme court affecting lands and tribal property in the Choc- taw and Chickasaw nations in Okla homa. The property holdings oi more than 10000 persons, aggregat- ing, by estimates, s450,00o,0O0, are involved. Attorneys have obtained contracts with claimants for these lands on percentage basis.

 The crescent city was decorated in a manner to please the distinguish ed guests, and the true southern hos pitality which so impressed MT. Taft on former occasion, was this time and other dignitarier prominent in official circles at Washington.
 Following an address in which the president reinterated his interest in the waterways project, and declared that he favored bond issue to carry out the plan without delay, Mir. Taft became a guest of the city.
 He took luncheon with Archbishop Dlenk, a personal acquaintance, at the latter's palace; attended two foot ball games in the afternoon; had q dinner which was given in his honor at the Pickwick Club at night, and went from there to attend a gala performance of Les HuguenotS at the French opera house, while supper at a famous French restaurant brought the first days calendar to a close.
 President Taft does not miss an opportunity to tell of the pleasures aboard the flagship on the Father of Walers between St. Louis and the Gulf. That the entire party enjoyed the four and a half nights and five days on the cruise is evidenced by the frequency wi;h which experiences have been recounted, and the atten- ton to details concerning the trip iron. the time they weighed anchor until port was reached.

The Greek Revolt Has Ended.

Athens, Greece.-Thibaldos' minia- ture rebellion has ended, according to an official announcement made by the government. The danger of revolt breaking out in fresh places has not been eliminated, however, and close watch will be kept on the mutinous lieutenants. The torpedo boat destroyer, Velos, with a rebel crew, is roaming in unknown waters. The belligerent force at the arsenal or the island surrendered, and all the boats have returned except the Velos.

 New York.-PatricK H. McCarren, late senator and Democratic leader of Brooklyn, died at St. Catharine's hospital, Brooklyn, never having com pletely rallied from the effects of an operation for appendicitis which was performed on October 13. His death was not unexpected-in fact, the sen ator himself realized that his end was near
 Patrick Henry McCarren, by trade a cooper, by profession lawyer and by vocation a politician, was one of the most picturesque figures in the present history of Greater New York. No one was ever more roundly con- demned, yet at the close of sixty years of his life he was probably the most strongly entrenched leader in New York state and had even wield- ed some influence in national poli- tics.

STATE FARM TO PAY Woul AY s1o,ooo TO GENERAL
 REVENUE FUND.
Commissioner Tucker Would Provide Money for Preliminary Work
 on Agricultural Schools.
Little Rock, Ark.


 With a view of assisting the new board of trustees of the four agri- cultural schools, which are to be es- tablished in Arkansas, Commissioner Guy B. Tucker has urged the pen itentiary board to transfer $10000 to the general revenue fund from the penitentiary fund for the use of the agricultural school trustees to assist them in their preliminary work.
 The trustees of the four schools will meet in Little Rock November B, for the purpose of making ar engagements for the establishment of the four schools There have been no funds available for the purpose, the appropriation for the schools be- ing withheld by the governor, togeth- CT with other appropriations, to pre- vent deficit in the general revenue fund
 The recent legislature appropria- ted out of the general fund about S9S,000 to make good deficit in the penitentiary fund with the under standing that the amount should be paid back into the fund as soon IS the penitentiary should have earned the amount.
 MT. Tucker, in view of the high prices paid for the cotton which was raised on the state farm, and the money received for the labor per formed by the convicts under con tract, believes that the penitentiary is now able to reimburse the gen. eral revenue fund to the extent of S1O,00O, and that amount would then be used to the advantage of the en- tire state in establishing the four agricultural schools.

Prison Fund Row Settled.

Payment of the penitentiary funds was settled by Attorney General Nor wood in an opinion given State Au- ditor lobe. He says, in part:
 At the time the legislature passed the act making the appropriation up- on the penitentiary fund there was nothing in the treasury to the credit of such fund, and it was evidently the intention of the legislature that the amount borrowed from the gen. eral revenue fund should be paid back whenever the penitentiary fund was able to do so, and it is my opin- ion that it was the intention of the legislature to pay the balance of the purchase price of the state farm, af- ter it had reimbursed the general revenue fund, and had a sufficient amount on hand to pay the amount after meeting the current expenses" ,"

Plans Are Under Way to Prevent
 Overflow.
 Pine Bluff-Col. Gus Waterman of Dumas, president of ihe Linwood and Auburn levee district, appeared be- fore the penitentiary board at Little Rock in advocacy of additional pro- lection of the levee in front of the state farm at Cummins, which is in danger of caving banks at the next high water.
 Colonel Waterman read a state ment prepared by Charles H. Miller, an engineer in the employ of the Gould system, who has recommended to his company that it join with the state in furnishing the needed pro- lection. Mir Miller made an inspec- tion of the levee and had intended to accompany Colonel Waterman to Little Rock, but was called to Kan sas City.
 Mir Miller recommends the build ing of revetment instead of new levee loop. This will include 2.000 feet of revetment and 1,500 feet of dike work The dike work would not be effective alone, as high water would be liable to get between 1t and the levee.

Reports Will be Published Soon.

Tn the offices of the state auditor, secretary of state and superintendent of public instruction the proofs of the biennial reports to be issued by those departments are now being read. It is believed that all three reports will be isued by the first of the year.
 The state auditor has read about one-half of the proof of the report of that department The secretary of state, it was explained yesterday, has just received the first proof of the bi- ennial report. It will be read and cor rected as fast as possible.
 The reports to be issued should have been published year ago. The state officers were unable to have them published on account of lack of funds. The appropriation for the purpose of publishing the reports made by the last legislature was erip- pied when many of the regular ap- propriations were decreased.

FARMERS, ATTENTION!

Have you raised enough hogs to make your meat for 1910?
 Has it occurred to you that meat during 1909 has brought the highest price for many years?
 Hogs have within thirty days brought 8 3-10c per ID, on foot in Chicago
 Have you ever figured how the farmer in Iowa, on land worth $50 per acre, is get ting rich raising hogs? When you buy meat from his hogs, you pay the expense and profit to the farmer, the hog buyer, the railroad to Chicago, the packing house, the railroad to your town, the middleman and the country merchant with whom you deal.
 Recently a carload of hogs grown in Shelby County, was shipped to St. Louis, sold for $S05 per cwt., and brought the farmer $1,23200

PAYMENT OF STATE FARM DEPT.
Attorney General Norwood Renders
 Opinion in Matter.

That the payment of the remainder of the indebtedness on the state farm, approximating $65,000, cannot be paid until the $98,000 borrowed from the general revenue fund is paid back out of the penitentiary earnings, is the opinion of Attorney General Norwood in an official com munication to State Auditor lobe, who had asked as to which obliga- tion would take precedence.
 The opinion further holds that the state auditor, upon order of the peni- tentiary board, will have the right to transfer on the books of the au- ditor's office from the penitentiary fund to the general revenue fund, all or any part of the $98,000, when surplus accumulates in the former fund. In other words, he holds that the appropriation to repay the $9S,- GOO to the general revenue fund is as specific as the appropriation made originally to pay the penitentiary de- felt from the general revenue fund.
 The ruling of the attorney general relative to payment for the state farm is based on the ground that it was never the intention of the legis- lature that any payment should be made on the farm out of any mon- eys not earned by the penitentiary; and, since the S98000 was paid from the general revenue fund, it was paid firm a source not deriyable from the penitentiary, and, hence, to make payment on the state farm before this appropriation of $98,000 was re- paid would be equivalent to using money derived from taxation to liqui- date the state farm indebtedness. This course is forbidden by law. says the attorney general.

Hiqh Price for Cotton.

The second batch of cotton to be sold from the state farm under the direction of the state penitentiary beard brought even higher price than the figure secured for that sold by the board some time ago, when the price exceeded anything ever be- fore obtained for state farm cotton.
 The second sale included 200 bales and brought IS IA cents per pound, or more than $90 per bale. State Au- ditor lobe and Superintendent Pit cock of the penitentiary acted as sales agents for the board, c. H. Minge & Go. being the purchasers of the cotton.
