AGREEMENT REACHED BY
BOARD AND PIPE LINES

Oklahoma City, July 1s.--An agree
ment was reached yesterday between
the board of equalization and two Of
the big pipe line companies, regarding
the assessments of these companies,
which assures that there will be no
court action in these cases. It was
agreed that the Prairie Oil & Gas
company assessed valuation as turned
in should be increased 25 per cent,
and that the value of the various pipe
and equipment as fixed in this case
should be applied to other pipe line
companies. This was accepted by the
Prairie and Gulf Pipe Line companies
and subsidiary corporations. The at
torney for the Texas company was in
attendance, but he was not vested with
the power to make definite answer
for that company. 1t is, however, ex-
|peeted that the Texas company will
file an acceptance to the proposition.
The acceptance reached Monday will
raise the valuation of the Prairie prop
erty nearly $4.OOO,OOO. Under this
schedule the Prairie will be assessed

BIGGEST RAIN IN
MANY M0NTHsHERE
Good Soaking Rain Falls over Craig
County For Ten Hours Bringing
Full Relief From Drouth.

Craig county today received the
most beneficial rain that has fallen
over this section for many months.
While the quantity of water falling
was not as great, according to the gov
ernment observations, as that rain of
two weeks ago, it fell in such a manner
that it all soaked into the ground
The rain began falling here shortly
after midnight and continued until
nearly noon today. The rain was a
continuous heavy drizzle, for ten hours
and during that time two and half
inches of rain fell This downpour
effectually stopped the drouth that
threatened the devastation of all grow
ing crops, and assured the trade ter
ritory of Vinita fair yield of corn
and good late crop of hay, as well
as an abundance of pasturage and
stock water for the cattlemen.
AS far as can be learned the rain.
fall was largely to the north and east
of this city, and did not extend more
than fifteen miles south of this town.
Adair reports only a light shower,
while at Claremore it is said there
was only a sprinkle. However the
territory north of Clarmore reports a
heavy rain. Sunday nearly the entire
state Of Oklahoma was visited by
showers. which in some instances de-
veloped into good rains that made a
bumper cotton crop certain.

DEMOCRATS BRING
CHANGE IN POLICY
Discussion of Naval Affairs DiscIoses
Opposition to Appropriation For
Two 6attIeships Year.

I Washington, D. C, July 10.-An inn
portant change in the naval policy of
the United States may come as re-
suit of democratic control of the
house. For several years this country
has been operating upon what is known
as the two-battle ship program. This
means the authorization and the con-
struction each year of two first class
battleships.
The advocates of this policy say it is
necessary. if the United States is to
keep anywhere near abreast of Eu-
ropean governments in naval arma-
ment. Discussion of appropriations
for naval purposes by members of the
house committee on naval affairs has
disclosed the fact that the chairman of
the committee, Mr. Padgett of Tennes-
see. will oppose appropriations for two
battlesships and that his wishes in the
matter may prevail.
Chairman Padgett defends his posi-
ton upon the grounds of economy. A
modern battleship cannot be construct
ed for less than 10 million dollars. Mr..
Padgett and his associates propose to
authorize the construction of only one
ship each year, and thus save the gov
ernment that amount annually. OFF,
cials of the navy department and 9TH
ers interested in the naval expansion
policy of the United States are seri-
ously concerned over the probability
of action by the house hostile to that
policy.
This year, with the United States
operating under the two-ship program
England is building five Dreadnaughte
and Germany four, to say nothing oNi
other increases in the worlds naviei -
Representative Hobson believes th0
country is rapidly falling behind ilu
naval development and has frequentl
warned his colleagues in congress t
that effect. He holds, too, that a lib
eral battle ship policy is not nearly Sc
Expensive as spasmodic one, which IL
called into action only when there ia
trobue afoot Thus, in the war will
Spain, which was not by any means n
first class naval power, this country
was so poorly equipped with modern
| fighting craft that it had to buy yachts
and merchant steamers, hastily equip
them in the best manner it could and
send them out to help fight.
That mosquito fleet, as it was generh
| ally called, cost the United States irl
that one year alone about so milliol
dollars and it was absolutely worthless
as a naval asset when the war was
over. I
The present two-battleship prograra
will leave the United States this yea
with six, Germany with eight ann
Japan with four Dreadnaughts. Nexp
year America will have eight, Cert
many thirteen and Japan six. In 1918
America will have ten, Germany sevt
enteen and Japan seven. In 1914 the
United States will have twelve, Ger

and the life There is no other knowi-
edge of God; no knowledge Of Christ
except through this Book. The logic
of higher criticism is to deny the
Deity of Christ. II Moses did moi
write what Christ said he did Their
He either did not know or He taught
what He knew to be untrue.
DR.. Adam Clarke once said, "a good
man could not have written the Bible
and a bad man would not" All human
literature can be learned. Not SO OF
the Bible.
The sceptic says it is the out of
date book. Not so, said Daniel Web
ter and other great men.
The opening sentence proclaims God
as the author of the Bible. 1t is the
great book Of poetry. The Pslams
Job and songs of Moses for instance;
there is no other such poetry in litera-
ture. The greatest of all philosophers
are found in the Bible. No ancient
or modern Philosophers have been put
in the class of the Philosophers Of the
Bible.
Science has not disproved 1t. Moth
ing is more changing than science
is using a text book on science which
is ten years old. There is no conflict
between science and revelation. There
may be between theology and the
teachings of science so-called.
(Here he quoted a number of scient-
lists who had found the word OF God
wonderfully helpful in investigating
scientific questions)
1t would have been impossible fol-
the scientific statements which have
been true to have been recorded az
they are except on the hypothesis OF
inspiration. There is no way for Jot
to have known what he said about
astronomy If he had not been inspired
1t took scientific men over thirteen
hundred years to learn what Christ
stated, viz, that the world was
round.
No man can cut out what he does
not believe as of the word of God and
still call himself a Christian.
(He quoted an old sea captain who
told him to call any man a liar who
said a whale could not swallow Jonah
l saw a great fish large enough tc
swallow any man. Had / been a poet
l could have easily imagined he was
the marine monster who swallowed
Jonah, and he thought I was another

experience with evangelists he cared
for.

Higher critics fight shy of archaeology
