Abernathy Lads End Trip.

Guthrie, Okla, Dec 20.-"It was by
far the hardest trip we have yet un-
dertaken," is the report made by Tenn
pie and Louis Alternately in letters to
friends here in regard to their recent
horseback ride across the northern
portion of the United States from New
York City to Presidio, Cal. They we're
accompanied the entire distance by
their father, John R. Alternately, for
mer United States marshal of Okla
homa through appointment by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The boys were to receive a $4,000
purse if they made the trip in sixty
days and did not ride on Sundays.
Other conditions were that they should
not sleep under a roof en- route, ac-
eept no favors, but pay their own way
and find their own way. They lost
their prize by two days because of be-
ing delayed in Utah and Wyoming,
where their horses got away, and again
they last five days at one time in
Wyoming because of high water. Only
one of the three horses with which
they left New York City stood the en-
tire trip, the others becoming Grip
pied.
The Abernathy lads claim the trip
cost them, all told, $4,000, and alto
gether they claim to have lost fifteen
riding days on the trip, which other
wise would have been completed, with
thirteen days to spare. They cover
ed 3,619 miles on this trip.

K|CKAPOO INDIANS
WILL GET RENT
Federal Government Allows Purchas.
ers TO Recover Invested Money
Less Rentals Collected.

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 21.-It is de-
clared that the final settlement in the
federal government has really done
the handsome thing by the Oklaho-
mans who purchased these lands prior
to the time that a court decision was
rendered that all sales must be ap-
proved by the interior department, and
who have since been prosecuted by
the government. The conditions be-
came more fully known today through
the approval by the departments at
Washington of a settlement, pending
for many months. with Cash Cade of
Shawnee, republican national commit
teeman.
Four civil cases were pending in the
federal court against Cade to compel
him to turn back his Kiekapoo lands
to the allotteees. Cade had about
$4,000 invested in the lands. He gets
this money back, together with per
cent interest, but is charged with all
rentals he has received from his Indian
land holding during the last five years.
1t one case wherein the land was held
jointly with another defendant, Cade
must pay to the Indian owner about
$400 additional. 1t develops now that
the government in settling with w. T.
Chapman and his associates that they
were given credit by the government
for all the money that the Indians had
actually received from them, but in
each instance the land holder was
charged with the rents received, and
in majority of cases, it is understood,
the five years rentals amounted to
more than the money invested in the
lands.
! The men who purchased Indian
lands, however, lose all the moneys
they have been out for expenses, en-
ploying attorneys, helpers, interpre-
ters, etc, amounting to many thousand
dollars. Charles J. Benson, Shawnee
banker, had $4,000 invested.
The defendants in the Kickapoo
cases take over all the Mexican lands,
where the Kickapoos were being col
onized, and take back, too, the money
they had placed in the bank at Eagle
Pass, Tex, to the Indians credit.
Only few cases remain unsettled.
Willard Johnson of Shawnee, associt-
ed with Cade in the land deals, has
three cases pending, and w. w. Ives
has two. In the one remaining case
Mrs. Martin j. Bentley desires to pay
the appraised value of the land and re-
tain it. This proposition is now being
considered by the government.

WILL FIGHT BOTH BILLS
But Educational Inetitutions Not to
Blame, Says Supt. Wilson.

Oklahoma City, Dec. PA state.
ment was issued today by Superin.
tendent r. H. Wilson showing that
the total tax upon valuation of 81 900
for the support and maintenance OF
all state educational institutions,
amounted to only .469 cents, and de-
clared that while state taxes were
high this year. the state educational
institutions were not responsible for
it. Superintendent Wilson is against
both the Akin and the Phillips bills,
the first for abolishing the fourteen
state educational institutions, and the
latter to merge the state university
and the agricultural and mechanical
college at Saltwater.
At a recent meeting of those in
terested in defeat of the initiated bills
Superintendent Wilson was made
chairman of the executive committee.
1t is not the purpose to wage more
than an educational campaign against
adoption.

INVESTORS PROTECTIVE
ASSOCIATION ORGANIZED

Davis, Okla, Dec. 21-The inyes-
tors Protective Association of Okla
homa organized here last September,
with twenty-one members of the board
of governors, and an advisory commit
tee of one hundred prominent bank
ers, headed by the Hon. J. D. Lank
ford, commissioner of banking
promises to put stop to all forms
of fake" investments and "blue-sky"
schemes. The association proposes to
organize subsidiary associations in
every town and county in Oklahoma,
with view to keeping a close watch
on all illegitimate promotions which
seek to filch money from the pockets
of innocent and ignorant investors
At the very outset of the admins
tration of Mr. Lankford he sent Hon.
w. M. Malone to Kansas to investigate
the system which caused so many of
the shady and off-colored promotion
schemes to come into this state. He
found that Kansas had a law which
gave the corporation commission and
the banking department full power
and authority to investigate all in
vestment concerns when it, appears
they were not giving the public a
square deal"
Eleven bankers and business men
of Davis organized what they call the
"Arbuckle Mining Exchange of Davis
with view to protect the new zinc
and lead mining field near town. Two
promotions were checked by this or
ganization becau. of false representa-
tions, etc. This led Mr. Lankford
and Chairman Love, of the corpora
tion commission to investigate the ex-
change. They learned that every
phase of the situation formerly inaug-
urated by the banking department had
been closely adhered to, and arrange
ments were made whereby a state
wide association might be formed
closely following the plan adopted by
the Mininf Exchange of Davis.
The plans and purpose of tie state
wide organization are to have sub
sidiary associations over the tate and
by close cooperation put 4 stop to
"wild-cotting' in every form of stock
selling, etc, which smacked of blue
sky" or grating methods.

being especially conspicuous in the
middle Atlantic division, where the
foreign-born increased 46.2 per cent
and the native 10 per cent. There has
been much less immigration into the
west north central division during the
past decade than during the earlier
decades, and the foreign-born whites
in that division increased only SO per
cent from 1900 to 1910, as compared
with 141 per cent for the native white.
In the mountain division also the for
eign-borne white increased somewhat
less rapidly than the native white, al
though their percentage of increase
was in itself large 516. In the east
and west south central divisions the
native whites increased more rapidly
than the foreign-born whites, but the
opposite was true in the south Atlantic
division, where, however, the foreign
born whites are still very small pro-
portion of the population.
By reason of the aforementioned
in the percentage of in
crease as between the foreign-born
white and the native white the for
eign-born white constituted a larger
percentage of the total population in
1910 than in 1900 in the case of the
New England, Middle Atlantic, east
north central, South Atlantic, and Pa
cific divisions, while in the other four
divisions the percentage was either
lower in 1910 than in 1900 or was the
same in both years.
The native whites of foreign paren-
tage constitute a large proportion of
the total population in those sections
where the foreign-born whites are mum
erous In New England they form 31.3
per cent of the total population. In
each of the other northern divisions,
and also in the Pacific division, they
constitute more than one-fourth of the
total population. In the mountain di-
vision they are 23.4 per cent of the
aggregate. In the New England and
middle Atlantiessdiyision the natives
whites of foreign parentage formed
a larger, in all the other divisions a
smaller, percentage of the total popu-
lation in 1910 than in 1900.
