ADVOCATES MILLS
FOR SALT PLAINS
State Geologlst Gives It as His Opinion
That Lands Are ValueIess For
Farming Purposes.

recent communication was receiv-
ed by Chas. N. Gould from an Okla
homa congressman at Washington, re-
ferring to the salt plains of Alfalfa
county. 1t was mentioned, if any
thing could be done in the way of ma
tional legislation that would aid in
the development of this land, or
would lead to it's reclamation to agri-
culture.
Mr.. Gould, as director of the state
geological survey, replied, that hav-
ing been over the plains many times,
he could see nothing which would lead
him to believe that there was any pos
sibility of this land being made val
liable to agriculture.
There are, however, two possible
solutions to the problem. First, the
establishment of salt plants. The
amount of salt water is practically in.
exhaustible. Indications lead to the
idea that this plain which includes an
area of approximately sixty square
miles, is underlaid with saliferous
shale. That is to say, the shale is i'm
pregnated with salt, and that water
penetrating this salty shale dissolves
the salt and become salt springs. There
is no way of estimating the amount
from these plains, but there is doubt
less enough to supply a hundred sal
plants. A branch of the Santa Fe
which crosses the plains, has direc
connection with the Fort Smith anC
Western railroad, which penetrates thu
coal field. In other words, thes'
plains have direct access to coal
therefore the matter Of fuel should b.
easy of solution.
The second proposition has been ad
vocated in the press a number o
times, namely the institution of hosp
tails for tuberculosis patients and pei
sons afflicted with similar diseases
This however, is merely suggestion
of Mr. Gould's, for as a geologist an
not a medical man he feels that
problem of this nature should be deal
! with by an army surgeon or some on
of that kind.
Mr.. Gould refers to the first propo'
ition as being the most feasible, an
further states that no doubt the frs
salt plant to locate on the great plain
of Alfalfa county will command th
future salt trade of Oklahoma

COMPANY STOPS
LIQUIDATION PROCEEDINGS

Oklahoma City, April 12.-Liquida-
tion of the affairs of the Planters &
Merchants bank by State Bank Com
missioner Lankford was stopped tenn
porarily yesterday by restraining or
der issued out of the district court by
Judge George w Clark.
The injunction is brought by Ok
lahoma Engraving and Printing COM
pany. They allege that at the time
the bank was taken over by the state
it owed them $6250 for supplies, and
that while Lankford is daily paying
other creditors pro rata, he has stead
lily refused to pay them anything.
By this action, it is claimed, Lank-
ford is not fulfilling his trust.
It is alleged that the very checks
and drafts with which creditors are
being given their pro rata refunds
were printed by the plaintiff company
and constitute part of the stationary
and supplies for which the bank is in
debted to them.
The case is nearly identical to one
brought by the same company against
State Bank Commissioner Young after
the failure of the Columbia Bank an6
Trust company. In that case the in
junction was made permanent and the
matter was applied to the supreme
court, the state officer giving a super
cedas bond. Hearing Of the temporary
restraining order in the present case
is set for Saturday, April Is.

RAYNER TALKS OF
MEXICAN TROUBLE
Baltimore Senator Confident That
There Will Be no War With
Mexico or Japan.

Washington, D. c., April 13.-The
first expression in congress concern
ing the situation on the Mexican bor
der was heard today when Senator
Rayner of Maryland, addressed the
senate on that subject. Although
democrat, Mr. Rayner spoke in conf
dence of the attitude of President Taft
and expressed the opinion that there
would be no war with either Mexico
or Japan.
While he did not SO express himself
in exact terms, it was evident that Mr..
Rayner had in mind the reports that
Japan is exerting herself to procure
coaling station on the Pacific coast
of Mexico. He said:
II am willing to admit that if Japan
is entering into negotiations for coal
ing stations and bases for naval sup
plies for military purposes with Mex
leo, we are entitled to know what
these negotiations are. Congress, is
however, without any information or
evidence on the subject. This coun-
| try would not ordinarily be entitled to
know the secret treaties or alliances
| that other countries make, but on the
lpart of Mexico we would unquestion-
ably be entitled to an explanation"
! He added that he had no fear that his
tory may repeat itse1r or that any gov
ernment would attempt to initiate the
example of Napoleon III. who through
felse pretenses, and subterfuges sent
an Austrian archduke to Mexican
throne simply to abandon him after
wards to despair and DEATH" He was
confident that Japan does not seek
war with the United States and declar-
ed there could be no cause for hos
tilities between the two countries.
Discrediting the report that Japan
might desire to take surreptitious pos
session of the island of Guam, cable
station. he declared that if such was
the purpose it would not be justified
by international law. He found in
Guam usefulness only as a cable base
and, speaking sarcastically of the is
land, said:
Guam is a charming spot and one
of the most lustrious and brilliant
levels in our oriental galaxy. It's prin
cipal products are vipers, snakes, liz
! ards. wild wine, dates, and castor oil
and if the island were put up at auc
: ton today, with all of the inhabitants
in it, beyond its value as military
post, it would not bring a dollar and
ha-- in any of the markets of the
world"
Much of the Maryland senators
speech was devoted to the contention
that the Monroe doctrine is not in
volved in the Mexican situation. Quot
ing authorities to show that the orig
inal Monroeism looked only to thu
. prevention of the establishment o.
) new monarchial institutions in The
= Western Hemisphere, he sought to dis
: credit the position in relation to th
. collection of claims against western
+ nations taken during the Roosevelt ad
e ministration in the Santo Doming
e controversy. This he characterized a

WILL FIGHT FOR
GENERAL REVISION
House Will Waste No Time in Check
ing Tariff Revision Measures
Up to Senate.

Washington, D. c., April 13.-The
Mouse was in session only few min
utes yesterday but in that time the
actual work of the session was begun.
The introduction of the Canadian
treaty bill and a measure intended
to be its companion through the lower
house at least, in which farm machin-
cry, fresh and dressed meats, and a
long list of articles usually listed as
the things he farmers have to buy "
are placed on the free list.
The Canadian reciprocity agreement
lis unchanged except in minor way
from the measure introduced to cover
the same subject in the last session.
According to the agreement reached in
the house caucus last night, Chairman
Underwood of the ways and means
committee introduced both measures
and they have been given the party
label That means that they will be
| passed through the house without de-
atdy anu CuSChSu UP " tAC oOhoCO'
That is the beginning Of the tariff
fight. After disposing of the two bills
introduced, the democrats will begin
the work of revising the woolen
schedule, the cotton schedule and such
other schedules and in such order as
the democratic caucus may from time
to time order Everything will be done
by caucus action at this session.
While the republicans of the senate
do not regard the tariff bill introduced
with favor, because they say it
has been drawn without ample con-
sideration and is "hit and miss" af-
fair, yet it will afford the senate the
opportunity to get to work on its own
tariff bill. Tariff bills must originate
in the house, but the bill now in the
I ss2,Ise will be sufficient excuse, when
Il reaches the senate, to permit that
body to enter into the entire subject
Z of the tariff. So while the house is
working on the various schedules 1t
proposes to revise the progressives
and the reactionaries of the senate
will have time to measure strength in
the molding Of a republican tariff bill
AS for the progressives of the senate
it may be said that they will renew
their fight for a general revision of the
Aldrich-Payne act. They do not be
I lieve that the democratic policy, as ex
pressed in the house bill introduced
today, will serve the purpose of taking
the inequalities out of the present tar
1 iff law. Their efforts will be centered
on the revision of that measure with
+ out special reference to the Canadian
treaty, which they believe will take
care of itself when it reaches the sen
ate.
1t may develop that the progressive
idea of revising the Payne law for the
correction of its inequalities, and the
democratic idea of revising it schedule
+ by schedule are not far apart. In tha
case the progressives and the demo
{ Gratis will not find it difficult to agree
upon a tariff bill. But whatever tn,
outcome in the senate, the democrat
of the house have left no doubt as t
their intention to check their revision
measures up to the senate wsthou
wasting any time in doing it,
