CONSIDERATION STATED
IN DEEDS TO PROPERTY

Transactions Recent

In several instances recently the gen.
eral custom was abandoned OF recording
deeds for the transfer of property, in
which the consideration stated was only

dollars In these cases the actual amount
paid, even down to the odd cents. was
duly set forth in the instruments which
went on record. The property, however,
was In the custody Of the courts and. as
is always the case under such circum-
stances, the actual consideration was
given.
One of the transactions was the trans
fer of the unimproved land or lots on the
tance east of oath street. The ground
is above grade some fifteen feet or more,
and there are no improvements on the
block except at the extreme eastern end
and none at all on the north side. The
frontage of the ground was 10 feet and
the entire area comprised 12,S17 square
feet. The consideration given was Sl6-

Too Many Apartment Housess

From the New York Worio.
Real estate experts note an overcon-
struction of apartment houses in Man
haitian, and one life insurance company
has curtailed building loans on such prop
erty on the ground that apartment
houses generally throughout the city are
not as we'll rented as healthy market
would warrant
Homeseekers have not observed any ex-
cess of fiat houses designed for tenants Of
moderate means and providing the essen
tial comforts at a fair rental, without the
fripperies of characterization. The condi-
tions complained of are confined to the
more expensive houses the multiplication
Of which is responsible for the lack of a
healthy market"
Builders appear to have forgotten the
existence of families with incomes of
from So OG0 to 5000. They have direct
ed their attention to apartments for which
5000 is Il minimum rental, with the re-
suit that New York Is coming to be city

This state Of things has been largely in

rents based more on the amount of onyx

the accommodations provided. There Is
probably no other city in the world in
which so large proportion of income is
needed for rent as In New York. A fifth

.EXILEO CHEROKEE GAVE
VINITA EUPHONEOUS NAME

The town of Vinita was named for
the distinguished sculptress, Winnie
Ream Hoxie of Washington, d. c. The
elder Elias Cornelias Boudinot, one of
the most noted Cherokee Indians of
his time or any other time, coined the
name in honor of the petite sculptress
whose acquaintance he had formed
while living the life of an exile from
his own Cherokee country on account
of having advocated allotment of the
tribal lands. 1t was at the time when
the Frisco railroad built into Vinta in
1871. The Cherokees named the town
Downingville while remained its Off
cial cognomen until the town was in.
corporated under the Curtis act. Blu;
the name Vinita stuck and the town
was always known as Vinita notwith
standing its official title of Downing
vile.
Winnie Ream was born at old Wyan
dotte, Kansas, where her father KEEP
a hotel and where she grew into youns
womanhood and after achieving fame
by being the designer and maker 0
the statue of Lincoln on Pennsylvania
avenue, Washington.

Triangular Debate Scheduled.

Definite arrangements have been
completed for the triangular debate
next spring between the University Of
Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri. The
question will be Resolved, that the
recall should be applied to the state
Judiciary" 1t is a live issue which has
been much before the public since
President Taft's veto of the Arizona
and New Mexico statehood bill because
of the recall Of judges provision in the
Arizona constitution. Interest is great
at the University of Oklahoma and it
is probable that between sixty and sew
enty aspirants will enter for places oil
the debating squad. This will necessi-
tate the holding OF two preliminaries.
The first preliminary will be held jan
highest averages in that contest will
compete for the six places on the team
| in a discussion held one week later.
The lateness of the preliminaries will
place the two Oklahoma teams at "a
disadvantage in preparing for the final
contest with Colorado and Kansas but
there are number of strong debaters
| in school this year and 1t Is believed
that Oklahoma is due to achieve big
victories in intellectual as well as
athletic pursuits. A third debate will
likely be arranged with the University
of Missouri. Missouri suggests a great
debating league composed of the state
universities of Oklahoma, Missouri
Texas, Colorado and Kansas and it is
possible that this will become reality
next year.

that in looking after the interest of the
taxpayers we were taking a broader
view of the situation than if we had
increased the levy to provide for these
old warrants. Whether the board had
any discretion in the question remains
for the court to determine. If the
court decides that the additional levy
must be made, there will be nothing
left for the board to do but to make it"
1T seems to me that it is more to
our interest to keep the warrants of
the state going at par than to redeem
the old ones. We feel that the board
has done its duty not only by the peo-
pie who pay the taxes as well, and that
there is no hardship for the men who
hold the states paper at per cent
for there is no better security than the
state, and all the warrants eventually
will be paid"

WHAT EDITORS SAY Of WILSON
s OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES % . @@

Yankton IS. d. Herald: Woodrow
Wilson is apparently becoming more
popular among democratic electors as
the time approaches for choosing a
presidential candidate. Both in the
east and west he is given the prefer
ence wherever an expression of voters
is registered by straw votes or other
wise. One of the largest evidences of
his strength comes from Oregon where
he was the overwhelming favorite in
a vote taken by the Portland Journal.
1t begins to look as though some of the
republican newspapers who have been
telling what great and good man Will
son is, are going to be given the oppor-
tunity of supporting him.
Fergus Falls (Minn) Weekly: With
every new speech Governor Wilson is
proving the genuineness of his demo
cratic philosophy. Any man might
strike one note in music correctly, but
it takes a musician to sing. So the
yeriest plutagogue may say one thing
or even two, that sounds democratic;
but no plutagogue can sing the demo
cratic tune without giving himself
away. Governor Wilson sings the
whole tune true. In his speech, foI
instance, at the Social Center confer
ence at Madison, he faced an entirely
new form of the democratic movement
but there wasn't a false note through
out that inspiring and convincing
speech.
Council Bluffs Qa) Nonpareil: The
opponents Of Woodrow Wilson ought
to know that it frequently happens that
man is loved as much for the enemies
he makes as for the friends he gains
Comanche (Okla) American: Since
Governor Woodrow Wilson delivered
his masterful speech at Dallas, Texas
last Saturday, at the closing of the
fair, he has received the hearty en-
dorsement of thousands of progressive
