MANY WANT POSITION OF
STATE GAME WARDEN

Oklahoma City, Jan. 13.-The most
popular Office in Oklahoma, gauged by
the number of applicants for the place,
is that of state fish and game warden.
Governor { Cruce has on file in his office
more than 700 names of men who
would like the appointment. Among
them are more than 100 ex-sheriffs and
thirty physicians. Most of the appli-
cants have an idea that the office would
be a pickup" imposing no special re-
quirements, and paying $1,000 a year
salary. One applicant for the place
was told that in order to secure the
appointment it would be necessary for
him to wear an opera hat and a white
coat. He is seen in the lobby of the
hotel at all hours of the day attired in
this garb.
The governor promises a considera-
tion of all applicants.

DEPARTURE FROM HASKELL
METHODS PLEASES SOLONS

Oklahoma City, Jan. IA most no
tlceable departure from the policies
and practices Of Ex-Governor Haskell
has been inaugurated by Governor
Cruce. Haskell ruled the legislature
with an iron hand and any member of
the legislature who crossed the pur-
poses of the executive was marked TO
be crushed politically or whipped into
subsection under the party lash.
From members of the legislature
who have conferred with Governor
Cruee It is learned that he has told
them he will keep hands of the law
making department Of the state gov
ernment. He has told them that he
will merely recommend legislation and
then leave it to that body to exercise
its best judgment. It is predicted that
Governor Cruce will come as near haV-
ing his legislative policies carried out
as did Governor Haskell, but that it
will be accomplished through co-opera-
tion instead Of through fear Of incur
ring the executive displeasure.

CLARK OUTLINES
HIS PARTY VIEWS
Declares squabbIe on Monday Was Nc,
Matter Of Principle But Created
Tempest in Teapot

washington, D. c., Jan. 13.-A stata
ment outlining the views of the dems
cratic party in the house as to thu
meaning Of the recent rules fight ana
setting forth the precedent that woun
have been set if the democrats had
voted to oyerrule Speaker Cannon al
that time was issued yesterday by Rek
resentative Champ Clark, the demo
cratic leader of the house and prob.
able speaker of the next congress.
The statement follows:
There is a tempest in a teapot
about how the democrats voted on
Monday on the question of sustaixsH
Speaker Cannon's ruling. Some Of
the papers have been charging that the
democrats reversed their action OF
March. This is an entire mistake.
Every democrat who made speeches
on the proposition pending on March
took particular pains to state that an
precedents were in favor of the speak
er's ruling on the occasion, and what
we were then doing was revolutionary
in character.
~ used this language on that oc.
casion. There is no use to mince the
matter about it. 1t is revolution.
individually, I am not afraid of reVo,
Ilutions, for the people of our blood
always attempt to revolutionize in the
| right direction.
"The difference in the situation is
that in March we were fighting to &C,
complish a great result, namely to
lliberate the house from the domina.
ton of the oligarchy of five, of which
the speaker was one. In fact the slang
phrase of the day, he was it. That
was the committee on rules despotism
of old.
"The committee ON rules composed
of five men, of which the speaker wa,
chairman, had become intolerable, and
we were entirely justified in upsetting
all precedents that were ever made
to emancipate ourselves, which We
did.
1.-The question of last Monday was
an insignificant squabble betweeY
Judge Fuller of Illinois and James R
Mann of Illinois, both republsAl
neither one insurgent and each deter
mined to have his own way. Eacl
one had a bill he wanted to get up and
that was all there was to it. Therf
was no principle involved whateyer
and by our votes we said that the
speakers decision was sustained by
precedents. We also said by our vote
that the matter in controversy was nc
of sufficient consequence to revolu'
tionize the house"

GOOD OFFER MADE
FOR COUNTY MONEY
international Bank & Trust Company
Agrees to Pay Per Cent And
Cash Warrants at Par.

What is considered by many as the
best offer ever made to the county for
keeping the county funds was submit
ted to the commissioners this week by
the International Bank & Trust com
pany This proposition is to pay the
county three per cent on the daily bal
ances, settlement Of interest to be
made at the end of each month and
the bank agrees to cash all warrants
for supplies, salaries and current ex-
penses at par.
Heretofore the county has been
drawing three per cent on the daily
balances but the warrant holders could
not get par for the warrants.
The commissioners have postponed
action on the matter until the other
banks of the county may have time to
submit propositions.

TO DEVELOP MINERAL
RESOURCES OF OKLAHOMA
tU.

The geological survey at Norman Is
attempting to carry on a number of
lines of work, the chief object OF
couse, being the development of the
mineral resources of the state. But
4 at the SAME time Mr.. Gould is so much
of a scientist that he never fails to
make collections of queer and rare
specimens. from different parts of the
state. During the Christmas holidays
Mr.. l.. c. Snder assistant director of
the survey made a trip into Marshall
county and found near Woodville
number of very peculiar fossils. This
region was evidently at one time an
ancient sea bed where a great number
of animals lived and their bones and
shells have been preserved in the
rocks
The finest specimens found, however,
were some large fossils or shells
known as ammonites The time when
Cretaceous rocks were being laid
down the animals which formed these
shells lived in great numbers swim
ming about in longgone prehistoric
seas.
Professor Gould says that the near
est modern relative of the ammonite
is the chambered nautilis as ably de
scribed by Oliver Wendell Holmes
poems This animal now lives in trop-
ical waters Another animal of same
type Of life is the octopus-quid or devil
fish which lives in various warm ocean
waters today.
The largest ammonite so far found
In the world comes from Europe
There is cast in Washington of a
specimen nearly FIVE feet in diameter
Some very large forms have been
found near the Black Hills in Dakota
and Wyoming.
Mr. Snider was successful in secur-
ing what Professor Gould claims to be
the largest ammonite so far discovered
in the southwest. 1t is about two feet
in diameter and weighs about 150
pounds 1t has so far remained un-
packed in the geology rooms and when
cleaned up will be placed on exhibition
in the museum rooms.
