REUNION HELD
BY PARKS FAMILY
Old Home on CoWskin Prairie is Again
Visited BY Children After an
Absence of 25 Years.

Grove, Okla, Sept. 26.-After a sep
aration of twenty-five years the family
of Captain jeff Parks last week met
in a reunion at the old home of the
Parks on Cowskin Prairie in Dele
ware county and hard by the south
line of Missouri. For two days the
sons and daughters visited the fa-
miliar spots of their childhood, among
them the tree where the eldest son
killed his first squirrel, forty years
ago. the old store at Southwest City,
Mo-, where Ann Thompson Parks,
mother of the sons and daughters,
traded eggs and butter for sugar and
coffee and calico for the childrens
dresses, the splitlog mill where one of
the boys used to take a turn of corn
on old Bob on Saturdays, the site of
the first school the eldest children at
tended, the beautiful Cowskin river
where the boys went bathing, and other
spots dear to their childhood.
Captain Parks settled on Cowskin
Prairie in 1885, just after the Chero-
kee immigration to Indian Territory.
Here he built a beautiful residence
that was destroyed during the war. In
the corner of the yard he established
the first store in this part of the ter
ritory and this with the stock of mer-
chandise was destroyed during the
war. The big line road that separates
Oklahoma from Missouri runs near
the place and the beautiful CoWskin
river, more beautiful than the Illi-
nois," is one mile away Three miles
distant is the old mill that was oper-
ated by an Indian who afterwards pro-
noted the Kansas City Southern rail-
road which was popularity known for
long time as the "SpIitlog Road"
An apple grown in the Parks orchard
was awarded the premium as the larg-
est exhibited at the Worlds Fair in
St Louis, but through error credit
was given to Arkansas rather than
Indian Territory
Those who attended the reunion
were Mrs. Susan Carr, Mrs. Henry
Ballard, Mrs, Davis Hill, Johnson
Parks (the only boy at home), the
Rev. James A. Parks, Judge ]. t.
Parks, Mrs. J. B. Woodan of New

alton of $4,000 a year, a deficiency
of $1S,214.18 resulted. 1t, therefore,
is declared that the board of equaliza-
tion erred in increasing the assessed
value of the property upon basis of
the earnings of the company in Okla
homa.
The Pullman company was assessed
at $826,749, while the actual value
claimed by the company is $299, ,S2S.O3.
The board assessed each car at S23.-
100, while the company claims that
the cars used in Oklahoma are worth
only $6,519.57. The company contends
that the board assessed the franchise
value of the company which is not sub
ject to taxation in this state and that
it figured in the value of the stock
which gets its value chiefly from the
value of the manufacturing plant in
which is taxed in that state
and not subject to taxation in Okla
homa.

thousands of dollars worth of silver

the domestics having gone with Mrs

was forced to lie in bed while the
burglars carried out plunder and load
ed it in an express wagon. They set
fire to the house and the flames had
such headway that they could not be
extinguished when finally he could call

OHIO STATE CAMPAIGN
OPENS UP At CANTON
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
Canton, o., Sept "a. - Democratic
state campaign opened here today
with Governor Judson Harmon as can
didate for reelection. In his speech
Harmon urged the discussion of the
national issue as long enough to score
the present national administration, as
long enough to tell his hearers that
the only hope for the people lies in
the success of the national democratic
ticket. The speaker declared that
wasteful expenditures had led the re-
publican party to over tax the nation
to the extent Of three hundred million
and scored the Payne-Aldrich tariff
revision as legislation opposed to
the interest of the consumers, who
would not be deceived by fair talk in
the attempt to defend it. He declared
the republican party had not kept
their campaign promises.

chairman, obtained order under diff
ficulties.
