TO FEDERAL COURT
FOR INJUNCTION
Railroads viii Fight Assessment To-
ward Million Dollar Drainage
Project.

Guthrie. Okla, July 27.-Injunction
suits have been filed in the United
States circuit court by the Santa Fe,
Frisco and Fort Smith G Western
railroad companies to prevent the as
sessment Of their rightsof-way in Lin
coin county for $1O6.700 toward the
Imillion-dollar drainage project con-
templated for the improvement Of the
valley Of the Deep Fork river.
The railroads attack the validity of
the emergency clause on the act OF the
special session of the second legIs-
Ilature. providing for the creation OF
drainage districts, on the ground that
mo emergency can be declared by any
law which provides for the encum-
brance OF real property for a longer
term than one year It is alleged that
the law could not become effective
until June H. 1910, and that the dis
trict court Of Lincoln county acted
without right in appointing board Of
viewers in April to make the assess
ments.
The petition of the Santa Fe alleges
that Its rightof-way crosses the val
ley OF the Deep Fork at right angles.
and that little of it is in the drainage
district, which extends across Lincoln
county, east and west. Benefits were
assessed the Santa Fe to the amount
|of $4,000, which assessment will be
formally made August |, unless Circuit
Judge CotteraI issues temporary re-
straining order.
The Frisco was assessed 5000 and
the Fort Smith & Western $50. 400.
The right-of-way Of the latter runs for
twenty-five miles within the proposed
district Under the method of assess
ment, the burden Of cost Of the big
drainage ditch will be placed on the
railroads and the latter propose to
contest Il bitterly. 1t is estimated that
the cost Of the ditch will be $685.
2S5,4O.
Judge Cotteral issued restraining
order and will hear the application for
temporary injunction Thursday. July

SHEA DECIDES PENDING
CATTLE TAX CASE

Pawhuska, OKLA, July 27.-An opin.
ion affecting the State Cattle Raisers
Association was recently handed down
by District Judge Shea at Pawhuska
holding that all cattle pastured in
Usage county between the first of
March and the first of September are
subject to taxation, provided the cat
tie had changed hands after having
been taxed elsewhere. In other words
if herd of cattle is assessed in Texas
and the taxes paid, and are then sold
and removed to Oklahoma. the cattle
are again subject to taxation in this
state
It is thought that there will be nc
appeal in the matter, and II there is

Cooper's Vindication

ington."
Regarding the habits and character
of the people he says:
"As a class they are indolent, lazy
and dirty although in recent years the
teachers have taught the younger
ones that dirt has been the cause of
much of their illness and the present
generation are keeping themselves
healthier by bathing. Their homes
are filthy as rule and conductive to
the diseases with which the Indians
are most afflicted
They spend their winters in hunt
ing and their summers in fishing. Furs
secured, hides Of moose and caribou
are brought to the traders and ex-
changed for food and clothing but
seldom for money. Out Of these hides
they also make moccasins, gloves,
mittens and other curios which they
trade in the same way. The fish
caught in the summer are dried and
fused for food for themselves and
their dogs during the winter
~The Indians have no knowledge of
their tribal or clan names and are al
ways called by their village or local
ity name. The Indians in the vicinity
of Chandlar river are called "Chand-
lar Indians. The same is true of the
chena, Salcha. Tanana, Mansfield,
Circle, Tribes. etc. The missionaries
and the bureau of education have de-
termined however, that all of the In
dians in the interior of Alaska are
Athabascan-Knaio with the
exception of those in the Koyakuk dis
trict which are Athabascan-Koyakoho-
tana."

Washington, July 27. Leather
stocking" is verified and Fennimore
Cooper is vindicated and their sub
stantiation comes as it should, through
the census bureau. It is from far
|away Alaska, but it is official. This
substantiation is found in a report
from Chief Census Agent Mckenzie
telling all about the taking of the cen
lsus in the Fairbanks district Mr. Nc
Kenzie gives assurance that the In
dams do measure time by the SHOWS
| and suns and distances by sleeps
Indeed, be asserts that they have nc
other standard Of time or Of measure
ment, and in relating the fact he cites
an instance which throws no little
light on the difficuities Of enumerat
| ing the red men.
"Only the very young children who
have been educated in the government
Schools . he says. have any knowl
edge of their ages or births, and the
agents were instructed to use the age
and birth months as nearly as talk
land observation would seem correct
Time with them is omputed on suns
and SHOWS, and distancess by sleeps.
Marriages, separations, births and
deaths are all based upon such calcu-
lations, and we were Obliged to base
our information in the same way"
He then gives this instance:
"An Indian buck claimed to have
lived 200 snows.s After much talk
and use Of the sign language it was
determined that he was about so
years old. He was found to have been
20 SHOWS old when he got first wo-
man; to have kept her -four SHOWS,
when she got away; that he got
more woman and keep her five SHOWS
and she die; that he got no woman
for 20 SHOWS more, and finally that
|he got young chicken and keep her all
time ever since, now, rs or 30 SHOWS,
That there were other difficulties in
getting the facts regarding the
|aborigines is indicated by the follow
ling from the report:
Many Of the Indians know sufii-
cient number Of English words to do
business with a white man. but when
lit was determined that they we're to
be counted they had faculty for clos
ling their mouths and knowing moth
ling until an Interpreter impressed up
ION them the fact that the agent came
from the Great White Father at Wash

Honorable James S. Davenport,
Vinita's candidate for congress from
the Third congressional district is go
ing to win the nomination by a large
plurarity. Mr. Davenport has received
reports and communications from ey-
cry precinct in the district, and indi-
cations clearly show that he will be
the winner on primary day. Mr.. Dav-
export has made a hard fight, and the
result is he has done effective work,
and succeeded in building strong
organization throughout the district
md he will have from two to ten sup
porters at the polls in each voting
place.
Now let Vinita get together, as well
as Craig county, working for him and
give our home a big rousing plurality.
Our man is entitled to the position
and it is up to the people of Craig
county to do all in their power for him.
Be sure and register in the few re-
naming days, and go to the polls and
work for James S. Davenport.

none. the opinion handed down ends
a controversy that has been in pro
gress in Usage county since state
hood. 1t will mean large increase
each year in the revenues of the
county because Of the great number
of cattle that are grazed in the big
Usage pastures.
The suit was instituted after the ad-
mission of the state into the union by
the cattlemen, asking that the county
treasurer be restrained from collect
ing taxes in certain specific cases.
The state association of cattle rails
ers held meeting in Tulsa last jan
uary in which it was contemplated to
carry at least one case to the supreme
court of the state. A test case was
desired, and although all centered on
one particular case, it was not sub
mitted to the higher court.

STATE BANKS TO
BUY WARRANTS
Banks Having Deposits Of State
Money Will Be Asked to Join In
Taking Them.

Guthrie, Okla, July 27.-Oklahoma
banks holding deposits of state money
will as asked to join in taking state
building warrants remaining of the
first issue of s7500OO. approximately
s233 900 of the issue has been taken by
contractors holding state contracts at
par and accrued interest, but in order
to obtain the cash they have been COM
PEELED to rediscount the paper any
where from 2 to IA per cent. The
state is interested in keeping the paper
at par and win, it is understood, per-
NIT no more Of it to go to contractors,
but pay estimates in each.
Of the $4,000 remaining, consid-
cradle portion will probably be taken
by cities and counties that have sink
ing funds to invest. The paper bears
5 per cent, and, in addition to being
non-taxable, is of long time, which
makes it better investment than the
general revenue 6 per cent warrant.
An act of the special session author
lied issues of public buildings war
rants to the amount of s2,025,0O0, the
first issue restricted to s750,0OO, but
after November l the board, composed
of the governor, the state treasurer
and the state bank of Bokchito has
increased amount, if 1t found neces-
sary in the construction of state in
stitution buildings.
Payment of the warrants is guaran-
teed out cf the funds derived from
sale of the public building lands. Esti-
mates have been made by the manag-
ing boards showing that between
100000 and $1,OOO,0OO will be due by
January 1. Under the arrangement
as agreed upon. banks taking the pub
lie building paper will be favored with
deposit to the amount of the pur-
chase, which will probably remain in
tact for five or six months, or until
needed to pay building estimate.
The idea of reissuing the paper in
certificates of $100 and less and ask
ing the people to contribute will prob
ably not be carried out.

Kansas City, Mo-, July Ex-senator
Albert B. Cummins, progressive re-
publican of Iowa, left Kansas and
Kansas City last night optimistic over
the progressive situation in Kansas
and elsewhere in the country. Sen.
ator Cummins made the prediction
that the progressive republicans would
be in control of the republican ma
tional convention of 1912, and says be
would not be surprised If the progress
Isive republicans would be in control
Iof congress before that time.
TIL senator left for his home in Des-
Moines at 1870 o'clock last night. He
said before leaving that he would fill
lno more dates in Kansas between now
and August 2. The heat and the hard
work Of the campaign in Kansas have
sapped his strength. But if Senator
Cummins' physical condition was unfit
mentally he was looking through a
Irose colored glass.
"The talk of new party is fake, .
he said. '1f there is new party it
will be formed by the stand-patters;
if any boiling is done it will be done
by them. The progressive republican
movement is sweeping over the coun-
try, and, being right, will win. We
ARE fighting now in Vermont, in New
Hampshire, in Massachusetts. We
haven't got start yet in Pennsylvania
but there is abundant material there.
