Prominent Part She Is Now Taking
in the Development Of
Oklahoma.
HOW A GIRL GOT HER CLAIM.
Miss Nannette Daisy's Leap from
Cowcatcher of an Engine
When She Located"

A person of persistent prominence
In the development Of Oklahoma Is the
woman homesteader. Since the first
day of the opening of old Oklahoma
to settlement in 1889, when Nannette
Daisy jumped from cowcatcher OF
an engine on the first train that
brought thousands of homeseekers into
the territory and staked off claim In
''the promised land" the woman home
steader has been occupying front
seat in Oklahoma's march of progress.
The instances are not few where
women have staked off claims, superin-
tended the cultivation for years and
finally won the prize-a deed to a
quarter section of land from Uncle
Sam, says a Guthrie (Okla.) corre-
spordent Of the Arkansas Gazette.
Leaping from the engine, Miss Daisy
climbed a small embankment, made
when the road was constructed and
hastily disengaging herself from a
white underskirt, she pinned 1t to a
neighboring blackjack bush and called
to the other passengers as the train
started ahead with renewed speed:
This Is my homestead"
That tract of land, near Waterloo
and lying along the Santa Fe's main
line through this State, is still known
as the Daisy farm. She made good on
the claim, got patent from the gov
ernment and held the farm in her
name until the time of her death in
Chicago several years ago. She attain
ed considerable prominence in Okla
homa politics in the early days and
was a personal friend of many men
who have since become wealthy and
we'll known In political and business
circles. Afterward she married sol
der, one OF the men stationed at Fort
Reno, and following his retirement
from the service they moved to Chi
cago where she died.
1t is estimated that more than 100
lone women held claims in Beaver
County last winter, as a rule living in
dugouts and waiting for the spring
time in order to cultivate the land.

pluck that in practically every in
stance brings success as well as health
and freedom.
After they have lived on their claims
during the period specified by Uncle
Sam they make application for final
proof, the last thing necessary before
obtaining deeds ]. s. Fischer. Uni
ted States land commissioner at Tex
homa, says, as a rule, the women pick
the choice tracts of land. In this con-
nection it is interesting to note that
the United States commissioners at
Tyrone, In Beaver County is woman
Mrs. Susan Healey. Many women
homesteaders appear before her to file
on claims and make final proofs.
The woman at the head Of farm
is in almost every instance a special
ist. In numerous cases they have been
exceedingly successful in different
lines of horticulture, agriculture and
raising of live stock.

building scheme of that organization,

Washington, June 6.-By a vote of
40 to "a the senate today took up the
administration bill to authorize the
president to withdraw public lands for
conservation purposes. The negative
vote was cast by members who believ-
ed that the bill to admit Arizona and
New Mexico to the Union as separate
states should have been given the
right-of-way.
The statehood bill probably will be
delayed until near the close of the ses-
sion, when there may be slight chance
for it to emerge from conference
The Democrats led in the movement
to have the statehood measure substi-
tuted for the conservation bill.
The general understanding is that
the rivers and harbors conference re-
port will be taken up tomorrow. OPP
position to that bill and the public
building bill has been used effectively
by the Democrats to compel the major
ity party to act on legislation which
the minority favored. But now. if
they take that course, the effect will
be to delay action on the statehood
measure. Appropriation bills will be
used to displace other business.
There appears to be, therefore,
strong probability that the statehood
bill will be the last of all the import
ant measures before congress to come
up for consideration. The indications
are that final action cannot be taken be-
fore next session at least.
1t was practically settled tonight
that there will be a conference be-
tween the senate and the house on the
railroad bill. Since Saturday last
there has been a movement on foot to
have the house agree to the senate bill
in its entirety and thus avoid con-
ference.

Washington. June 9.-By the over
whelming majority of 1875 to 101, the
house tonight passed the postal saw
ings bank bill as recently agreed upon
by the Republican caucus of the house.
Not a single Republican voted against
the measure on the final roll call
Prior to this action the house, by
113 to 1876, rejected the Democratic
substitute for the bill.
The vote on the several motions in
volved in the measure followed six
hours of debate, in which many Repub-
licans and Democrats recorded their
views upon the bill of the majority and
the substi tute, supported by a large
portion of the minority.

bers of the house and by prominent
representatives of Jewish organiza-

IRON AND STEEL TRADES
SHOW LITTLE CHANGE
Finished Products Are Ordered
Freely, but Business Irregular

NEW YORK, March e.-There was a
sudden and sharp contraction in the
volume of business in pig iron in the
eastern district last week. With the
exception of Pittsburg all distributive
centers reported light sales.
In finished steel products a larger
volume of orders has been placed, but
business has been spasmodic. The most
satisfactory branch has been structural
steel both plain and fabricated. Orders
were received for the latter during the
last few days of February in sufficient
quantities to bring up the tonnage for
the month to 10O, 900 tons, and the pros
pect is that March Will be equally
heavy.
In the last week railroads have put
out more inquiries for bridges. placing
orders for about 5000 tons and receiv-
ing bids for 1900 tons additional.
Rail contracts have aggregated $4,000
tons, including 10000 tons for Alaska.
Additional orders have been placed for
200 cars and 112 locomotives, and spe-
cific inquiries have been made for 10, 900
cars and for 200 locomotives.

in this city and the suburbs to decide
whether or not Sacramento is to annex
considerable territory to the east and
south of the present boundary, has
now the election can not be held April
6, as was planned. A new ordinance
must be adopted by the city trustees
and published, calling for the annexa-
ton election one week later
sacramento proposes to annex those
districts known as East Sacramento,
Oak Park, Curtis Oaks, Highland Park,
the Riverside section and other smaller
districts, so as to have the combined
population included in the 1910 census.
1t is estimated that the suburban dis
trlcts 1t is proposed to annex have a
combined population of 1000.
The error in the ordinance was made
by the city clerk in his haste to get
IT out for publication, that the an
neNatfon election could be held before
the actual census taking commenced.
he named polling places in East Sacra-
mento as the voting points for Oak
Parkers. and East Sacramento inhabit-

places in Oak Park to cast their bal
lots
notwithstanding the error and the
consequent delay. Census Supervisor
Phillips announces that he will go
ahead with applying to the census au-
thorities at Washington for permission
to count the residents of the outlying
districts in the Sacramento list. Of
course, II the annexation plan is not
carried, the count will not be taken.

featS ASsailantS
| Special Dispatch to The Call

SACRAMENTO, March 6.-Dr. M. S.
silva, prominent Sacramento physl-
clan, was decoyed into a dark alley
late last night by thugs who sent
SICK call message to his residence and
then attacked him with sandbags. lie
was struck repeatedly on the head, but
managed to ward off his assailants and
fired several shots at them at close
range. They fed. having failed in their
desperate attempt to either murder or
rob him.
Silva was told over the telephone
that man living in the alley, Front
and Second, n and streets, wanted
him Immediately the mans wife being
in a dying condition. The physician
responded and as he entered the DARK
recesses of the narrow passageway two
footpads pounced upon him. For sew
eral minutes the three men struggled
in the dark, but Silva finally succeeded
In drawing a revolver and put the men
to flight.
1t is thought that the decoy message
was used for the purpose of numbering
Silva. The city detective department
is working on the case and may land
a least one man, whom Silva says ne
wounded. No descriptions could be
given by silva.
