Has Not Forgotten
Watonga, Okla.
Oct, 81, 1910


Dear Editor;
l 'jis TUX a notion, y
that | would write to you, and
through you to our many friends
there. The Lord has been very
gracious toward us and our work
here. Yesterday closed our con-
vention year. A summary of our
work revealed the fact that it
was the best years work in the
history of the church. More were
added to the church than in any
two previous years. We have
baptized several times. 7 h e
church has expressed her ap-
probation of our services by ex-
tending to us an enthusiastic and
unanimous call to continue with
them and at a better salary.
Just now we are awful busy in
a strenuous fight against the
"Sons of Washington" who want
to repeal our prohibitory law and
give us local option and high
license. But to US the PROPOSE
ton means rather local corrup-
ton and high carnival. We don't
want it.
1t is still very dry here. We
are having a great deal of fever.
Crops were good this year but
the outlook for our next wheat
crop is discouraging.
During the hot days of sum-
mer we often long for New Mex
leo. We remember you all and
your many kindnesses to us
while we were there. We de-
plore the calamities that have
come to the town, and the pas
sing away of some of our best
friends. With kindest regards
to the Editor and all.
Yours truly.
D. B. Jackson.

Mcintosh Farmers Don't Want
to be Left Out

The organization of an Irri
cation District under the terri
torial Laws is going toward AM
is going to be a success. The pat
ented land in the shallow waite
country of the valley is being list
ed and the names of the residen
freeholders are being secured
As soon as this is completed th'
petitions will be circulated, ant
all in favor of the district will b.
given an opportunity to say so
The exact boundaries of the dia
trict annot be described until this
is done, and it is ascertained JUS
who wants to be in the district
and whowants to be left out This
has been the plan of those push
ing the whole thing from the be-
ginning.
A week ago the editor of the
News received a letter from Col.
J. D, Carter, editor of the Home
land at Mcintosh, in which he
stated very forcibly that McIn-
tosh people would have nothing
whatever to do with Estancia in
organizing a district, and wanted
to be "cut OUT A day or so lat
er a delegation of Mcintosh bust
ness men came down to confer
with our committee. After a lit
tie conversation it was learned
that the plan was not understood,
and this was explained. AS soon
as it was made clear that a meet
irg had Letn planned at
Mcintosh in order to ex-
plain more fully the plan of or
ganization, an urgent invitation
was extended to come and hofd
such a ameeting. On last Saturday
Mr.. Honnold, who has spent
some time in studying up the
law on the subject went to Nc
Intosh and addressed some six
ty odd Of the people of that vic
unity A committee was named to
work with a committee from Es-
tancia and Willard, provided the
Willard people wan tedin on the
deal. This committee is: Frank
Laws, w. w, Wagner and Fred
Fisher.
In some manner or other the
Willard people got an idea that
Estancians had their petition
ready for presentation to the
county commissioners at their
meeting the first of the week,
and would take in Willard will
ly nilly" On Monday quite a
showing Of Willardites appeared
on the scene, intent on blocking
this game. Had they taken the
trouble to read the law, they
would have saved themselves
time, trouble and worry, for the
law provides specifically that the
petition must have been publish
ed two weeks before presenta-
ton to the county board.
A letter received from the com
mittee at Mcintosh on Tuesday
of this week is to the effect that
the people there want to jion Es-
tancia in the organization of a
district and are anxious to get
busy and do something, rather
than allow another year to pass
for something to turn up.
A meeting has been called at Nc
Intosh to day, in which the mat
ter will be thoroughly discussed
and plans laid.
The outlook at present is that
the district will include the ter
ritory from some distance north
of McIntosh to a few miles north
of Willard, which will include
most of the patented land and
most of the shallow water dis
trict.
Another Meeting will be held |
tomorrow, to which all interested
ara invited

Will Control both Houses of
Congress

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 9..-The
securing of control of the next
national house of representatives
by the Democrats was decisive
Returns late this morning
showed that the Democrats had
made a gross gain of 49 mem
bers. This was offset. by a Re-
publican gain of five, making a
Democratic net gain of A new
seats.
In order to secure control of
the house it was necessary for
the Democrats to secure "a new
members. The greatest gain was
made in New York, where the
present delegation of twelve
Democrats was increased by
ten.
In Illinois the Democrats
gained six members.
A Social Democrat, Victor L.
Berger of Milwaukee will have a
seat in the next house.
New York, Nov. 9.-The
sweep of the political tidal wave
was further emphasized by the
additional returns this morning.
The Democratic majority in the
national house Of representatives
will be at least Is and possibly
more, as compared with the
present Republican majority of
43.
The Republican majority in
the senate is also rapidly APP
preaching the vanishing point,
although the Republicans are
now reasonably assured Of 48
senators, or one more than is
necessary for a majority, with a
number Of states still in doubt.
The Democrats show a net
gain of Al in the national house.
Tribune Citizen.
New York, Nov. 9.-More
complete returns today from
yesterdays elections emphasize
rather than diminish the Demo-
cratic landslide. There is hardly
a section of the nation where the
Republican vote did not slump
and in many cases dis
astrously.
The sixty-second congress will
be Democratic by a fine working
while in the United
States senate the Republicans
will have only a scant lead.
New York, Massachusetts,
Connecticut and New Jersey
take their places at the head of
the procession, with Democratic
governors and a strong Demo
cratic representation in their
legislatures. Ohio too is Demo
cratic, while even Iowa appears
to be ready to fall into the Dem
ocratic line.
The two great leaders of the
Republican party, Taft and
Roosevelt, alike met defeat in
their own states. Roosevelt's
home town of Oyster Bay went
against him, his congressional
district chose a representative
to replace Congressman Cocks.
Roosevelt's warm personal friend
his state repudiated the Republi-
can candidate for governor by
30, 900.
AS an additional blow the
New York legislature is Demo
cratic and Chauncey M. Depew
will disappear from public life.
President Taft today finds HIM
self facing the one danger he
has most dreaded,a hostile house
of representatives to nullify
what remains of his legislative
Citizen.
