HASKELL WILL BRING SUIT
FOR LIBEL AGAINST PAPER

. Oklahoma City, Okla, Nov. s.
Governor C. N. Haskell has declared
he would bring suit for criminal libel
against Frank Greer of the Guthrie
State Capital and that warrant for
him would be issued Wednesday. The
statement of the governor follows the
publication in the State Capital Of
Sunday morning referring to the gov
ernor as being controlled by the Stand
ard Oil company. Attached to the
story is published purported type
written letter from Attorney General
West which is an acknowledgement
from West that he knew the conditions
spoken of.
The publication complained of by
the governor was printed in number
of republican papers throughout the
state Sunday morning and in some
democratic papers, including the Daily
0klahoman of this city, as a paid adj
'vertisement.

LUMBER GAINING
Substantial Increase in Lumber Cut
is Shown in the Preliminary Re-
port Of Thirteenth Census.

Washington, ID. c. Nov. s. - The
lumber cut in the United States dur
ing the calendar year 1909 was 44,5S5
million feet, board measure, as against
1924 million feet in 1908, and 40, ,256
million feet in 1909. This was an in
crease of 34.2 per cent over 1908, and
during 1909 was 3,712 million and
14,945 million, respectively. The in
crease in the production of lath in
1909 over 1908 was 24.S per cent over
1907 1.S per cent. while the cores
ponding increases for shingles were
2S.4 per cent and 26.4 per cent.
This information appears in a pre-
liminary comparative report covering
1909, 1908. and 1907, which was trans
mitted today to Census Director Dur.
and by Chief Statistician William M.
Steuart, under whose supervision II
was prepared by ]. e. WheIchel, ex-
pert special agent of the division of
manufacturers. In cooperation with
the forest service OF the department
of agriculture, the bureau of the cen
sus annually collects and publishes
statistics pertaining to the group of
lumber and timber industries.
The substantial increase over the
two preceding years was general, few
of the individual states showing a de-
creased cut. The figures for 1908 and
1907 were collected by mail, and, while
Including the commercial mills OF the
country. did not in many cases cover
the small neighborhood mills whose
out put was consumer locally. The rel
|atively large increase in the number
|of mills reporting for 1909, together
with the increase in the cut for that
year, was due largely to the fact that
the field force of the census bureau
which was engaged in gathering stats
tics of all branches of manufacture
throughout the United States, secured
returns from practically every sawmill
lin operation during the whole or any
part of 1909, without regard to its size,
and in this way there have been in
cluded many small mills not covered
by the mail census in the preceding
years.
Large Increase in Cut of Yellow Pine
In the group of coast states, from
Virginia to Texas, inclusive. together
with Arkansas and Oklahoma, there
stands probably not less than nine

DIX IS FAvOR|TE IN
BETTING IN NEW YORK

New York, Nov. S.-Gossip had it
last night that the campaign betting
odds in the last prediction hours were
between 8 to / on Dix and 81 to 1 on
Dix The republicans charge, how
ever. that the betting is largely hcu
titious and that the prices are quoted
for wash" bets only.
1t was reported today that just after
the close OF the stock exchange for
the day one broker offered $4,000 to
$4,000 on Dix and found no Stimson
takers. These are odds of 8 1-S to 1,
but 1t is said that longer odds of 31s
to l were accepted earlier in the day.
A bet of $4,000 to $4,000 that Dix
would have a plurality in the state of
$4,000 or more was reported.
Much Stimson money from Buffalo
appeared late this afternoon, but the
askers wanted to /, and found no
takers. A peculiar feature of the
speculative records this year has been
that whereas in general the odds tend
to tighten at the last moment, this
time they have lengthened-in current
report at least. ne

tenths OF the present supply OF yellow
pine stumpage. The proportion Of the
total cut Of lumber in the United
States contributed by this group, to-
gether with Kentucky and Tennessee,
has been steadily Increasing during
recent years. In 1907 their output
was 1884 million feet, or 44.3 per
cent of the total; in 1908. 1906 mil
lion feet, or 45.2 per cent of the total;
and in 1909. 22O57 million feet, or
49.5 per cent Of the total. Yellow
pine, including the several species,
longleaf, shortleaf, loblolly, Cuban,
etc. constituted substantially the
same per cent Of the total cut of lum-
ber In these states in each of the three
years, furnishing "a per cent in 1909.
|72.s per cent in 1908, and TIA per
cent in 1907 The large increase in
the number Of mills reporting from
this region in 1898 ever 1a0s, namely,
from 1884 to 23.255, amounted to
nearly two-thirds Of the total increase
in the number Of mills reporting for
the entire United States between these
years. The increases in this group
of states, both in the number Of mills
and In cut were due undoubtedly in
large part to the many small mills
in remote localities which were reach
ed by the agents In 1909. but which are
difficult to canvass by mail The limit
ed output of mills Of this class and
size, however, is almost without ex-
ception consumed in the immediate
vicinity of its manufacture, and hence

DEMOCRATS LOOK
LIKE SURE WINNERS
Quietitude Reigns in vinita And is
Broken Only BY chIdren's Pro-
hibtion Demonstration.

The only excitement to break the
quietitude of a typical election day in
Vinita today was the childrens parade
this forenoon, in which hundreds of
school children marched through the
principal streets and past the polling
places, waving flags and singing
Keep Oklahoma Dry" This parade
was inaugurated by the ladies Of the
w. c. T. U. and had a telling effect
upon the men along the street and
turned many votes to the prohibition
side.
The weather today has been as fine
as one could wish for an election and
to this may probably be accredited the
heavy vote being polled. The workers
were out early and the contest for SUI
premacy between the two great parties
in vinita. at least, has been clean and
worthy of the highest type of citizen
ship. The threats of violence emanat-
ing from other counties was unfelt
here.
The provisions of the grandfather
clause have been carried out to the
letter of the law as it is interpreted by
the recent decision of the state SUI
preme court, and so far as known
there has been no complaint from the
republicans. Few negroes have APP
piled for ballots and very small per
cent of those applying were rejected,
as most of them were able to read and
write. Possibly twenty-five per cent
of the number of negroes attempting
to vote were unable to meet the quail
fication prescribed by the new law
It is impossible to make any kind
of a prediction as to the vote on the
various amendments to the constitu-
tion or upon any of the six state ques-
tion. The vote on prohibition is be-
lieved to be very close.
From the number of known demo-
Gratis who have voted, many of them
it is believed straight ticket, it is
estimated that the state democratic
ticket will have majority of $50 in
vinita and of 700 in the county. The
county ticket, it is believed. has been
elected in its entirety, although there
was some scratching on the latter
ticket. The indications are that
James S. Davenport for congress will
have a majority over Creager of at
least 600 in this county

Had Voted For Lincoln.

Two old eolored men in vinita pre-
sented themselves at the polls today
and claimed the right to vote, ire
spective of the grandfather clause, "
on the ground that they had voted, as
soldiers in the federal army, for Lin
coin in 1864 The election officials
