Sailing dates from the principal
ports of the United States to the prin-
cipal ports and countries of the world"
is the title of publication about to
be issued by the department of com
merce and labor through its bureau of
statistics.
The publication, which is to be is
sued in the for moi monthly bulle-
tin or poster is intended to place be-
fore the commercial public advance
information as to the dates at which
merchandise may be exported from
the various ports of the United States
to the various ports or countries of
the world the period to be covered by
the current issue being the month of
September. 1t will be issued sufficient
ly far in advance of the month which
it represents to enable merchandise
or passengers from the interior to
reach the seaboard at the dates nam
ed.
The preparation of this bulletin is
the result of numerous calls received
by the bureau of statistics for informa-
tion of this character That bureau
published several years ago a list of
the steamers leaving each of the ports
of the country and their regular or
approximate sailing dates, and while
it was not then found practicable to
continue it as a monthly statement,
the calls upon that bureau for this in
formation have continued to the pres
ent time.
This Sailing Dates Bulletin" while
occupying only single sheet and de-
signed chiefly for posting in meeting
places of commercial bodies, freight
offices, and business houses, contains
some general facts of very material
interest. 1t shows, for instance, that
more than 100 different steamship
| lines or companies have regular sail
ings from the ports of the United
States, and that the fixed dates for
sailings during the month of Septem-
Der as reported to the bureau alone
number nearly 700. The ports of the
country from which there are regular
sailings number about 20 and the ports
in foreign countries for which sailing
dates are named number about 70, to
say nothing of the hundreds of inter
mediate ports, or ports of call, which

Prisoners May Be Freed.

Oklahoma City, Aug 14,-Clyde
Reed, warden Of the state reformatory
at Granite, has written Attorney Gen
eral West for an opinion as to what
he should do with prisoners held in
that institution who were convicted
under the Ross act of the second legis-
lature for selling liquor to minors.
The act provides a minium punish
ment of one year in the penitentiary,
but recently the criminal court of ap-
peals in several cases held the law un-
constitutional for the reason the min
imum penalty was fixed by the consti-
tuition at thirty days in Jail and could
not be changed by legislative act
Since then several convicts at McAles-
ter and Granite have been released on
writs of habeas corpus, and what War
den Reed wants to know is what to do
with fire or six others he has there.

NEW DEMOCRATIC
SLATE IS FIXED
Are Urging Governor Not to Call
Special Session of Legislature
to Redistrict State.

Oklahoma City Aug. 1.-THE state
ment was made here yesterday that a
new democratic congressional slate
was affected at a secret meeting of the
leaders and that thereby Roy Stafford,
John Doolin and bill Murray are to
become the three candidates at large
for congress. 1t is understood that
Governor Cruce will be implored not
to call a nextra session of the legisla-
ture for redistricting the state. On
the other hand a large faction of the
democrats of the state have been hot
on the governors trail for the special
session because they want to lay out
congressional districts for themselves.
Which side wins remains to be seen.
The new lineup is purported to be
at the behest of C. N. Haskell, though
this much is doubted by other know
ing ones.
John Doolin, who is the governors
closest political adviser, and John Will
liams, who managed the governors
campaign, went to see Elmer Thomas
at Lawton Thursday and spent nice
day. 1t was a picnic it is said. 1t has
been understood for some time that
Doolin is to resign as state game war
den. 1t had been previously announc-
ed that he would try to be national
committeeman from Oklahoma, but
that idea has been abandoned.
1t has been said that efforts is to
be made to harmonic the democratic
factions in the state, but just how this
can be brought with one side wanting
the special session for their own ben
eft and others not wanting it because
they are afraid their chances to go
to congress would be jeopardized, is a
question at this time.

OKLAHOMA DON'T NEED To
EXAGGERATE RESOURCES
Circulars Issued By State GeolOgist Shows Ok
lahoma to Rank First in Many Natural
Resources as Well as Farm Products
---"DOn't Have to Lie About
Oklahoma

State Geologist Chas. n. Gould has
just issued a circular setting forth
some pertinent facts concerning the
vast resources of the state of Okla
homa. These statements are based
absolutely on facts and should give all
.Oklahomans a sense of pride in their
state. The circulars contain some
splendid information. Ten copies will
be sent to any address upon receipt
of seven cents or will be supplied in
quantities by the geologist at the fol
lowing prices f. o. b. Oklahoma City
500 copies $500, 1000 copies $1,000,
5000 copies $4,000.
The following information regarding
the rank of Oklahoma among the
southern states is contained in the cir
.cular
You don't have to lie about Okla
homa; if you tell half the truth peo-
pie won't believe you.
No equal area that the sun shines
upon, during recorded history, has
made such rapid material progress as
has the state of Oklahoma, during the
last decade. Her history reads like
a romance. Those of us who have
been actively engaged in aiding this
development as well as those from
other states who have watched the
progress of Oklahoma, often stand
aghast before the wonderful latent
possibilities of the state.

1t is not easy to attempt to condense
into a single paragraph statement
of the wonderful resources of okla
homa and their development. Some
idea of conditions may be gained by
reference to the government census
reports recently issued, where it is
shown that during the past ten years,
among the sixteen states represented
at the Southern Commercial Congress,
Oklahoma ranks as follows:

population of the state, 10 per cent

FIVE INDICTMENTS
AGAINST CASHIER
Learned Import of indictments Re-
turned BY Special Grand Jury
at Oklahoma City.

Oklahoma City, Aug. 1.-THE ma
ture of the six remaining indictments
found by the oklahoma county grand
jury at the session closing Saturday
afternoon, and which were not an
nounced Saturday night, was brought
to light Sunday when it was learned
that five of the indictments were
against Mick" NJ Ellis, cashier of the
Planters and Mechanics bank, liquid
ated by the state banking board, and
one indictment against e. L. Hendry,
president of the Night and Day Bank
of Memphis, Tenn.
Ellis is in New York at present and a
telegram was sent to that city asking
for his arrest. Up to the present moth
ing has been heard from the telegram.
Hendry was arrested at Memphis Sat
urday night, and Deputy Sheriff Mel
Burgess left Sunday morning to bring
Hendry to this city to make bond for
his appearance.
The charges against both men are
of a serious nature. While the exact
amounts involved were not made
known, it was learned that three of
the counts against Ellis are for forgery
one is for falsifying the books of the
institution of which he was cashier,
while the fifth charges him with mis-
applying the funds of the bank. Bonds
covering all the counts will aggregate
SO, 900.
Hendry is charged in the one count
against him with having defrauded the
local bank through its connection with
the Night and Day Bank at Memphis,
but the exact nature of the alleged
fraud has not been made known. In
all, large sum of money is said to
have been involved
This completes the list of 10 indict-
ments found by the grand jury. Thir-
teen against Abner Davis former pres
ident, and F. A. Meyers, former cash
ier of the Night and Day bank, were
announced Saturday night, and both
men gave bond for their appearance
to answer to charges which included
embezzlement and misappropriation of
funds, as well as reporting falsely to
the state banking board.

September Sailing Dates
For Foreign Commerce

fer and in others as way stations"
Even this list, which presents every
fixed sailing date which can be named
by the collectors of customs or the
steamship agents of the country, nee
essarily omits all that large body CT
steamers known as "tramps," compos-
ed of vessels not part of any general
line and therefore having no fixed
dates, not included in the bulletin be-
cause of their inability to furnish the
bureau with a statement of the exact
dates of their prospective sailings for
the month The known number of
these departures, however, coupled
with the exact figures given in the
bulletin itself, justifies the statement
that the total number of vessel de-
partures from the United States dur
ing the month of September will aggre-
gate about 1000, and the value of the
merchandise which they will carry, ap-
proximate $2OO,00O,000 to say nothing
of the thousands of passengers whom
they will transport to every part of
the world.

ticable be supplied free of charge to

lication or posting in their business

An Unlikely Story.

An imaginative statement comes
from San Antonio, to the effect that
that city is to be headquarters for
another Mexican insurrection, the new
revolution to be in the interest of
Reyes, who is to have the aid of
Diaz
1t is not likely that the Mexican
government will be disturbed by this
news" General Reyes, after doing
his best to work up a sentiment in
his favor for the presidency, found
himself lacking in followers; and il
while I'm Mexico he could make no
Roadway against the Madero senti-
ment. there is little probability that
he will be so foolish as to. try TO
engineer an armed revolt against the
Madero regime. Reyes made the mis-
take of his life when he permitted
himself to be persuaded into breaking
with Madero. Returning from the
exile into which Diaz sent him, he
was welcomed by Madero. and after a
conference between them they an
nounced to the Mexican people that
Reyes would support Madero's can
didacy for the presidency, and in the
event Of Madero's election Reyes
would take his old position as secre-
tary of war But Reyes listened to
the Establishments of the very "cien-
tificos" who helped to send him out
of the country when Diaz was in
power. and a few weeks after his
compact with Madero he announced
his own candidacy. Had he kept a
level head he would now be high in
power in Mexico, as the right hand
of the president-elect. instead OF be-
ing in exile a second time.
AS for General DiaE. he is in his
last days, and wishes for nothing so
much as peace for himself in his
own exile.
Madero will have troubles in plenty,
but they will not include a rebellion
headed by Reyes and Diaz.

TO more than 100000 acre feet Not
withstanding this vast volume
enough to cover 100000 acres to a
depth of a foot-the reservoir is filled
to only a third of its capacity, There
| is enough water on hand to meet
all the needs of the valley for the
next twelve months. When the res
ervoir is full, it is equal to the re-
quirements of the valley for three
years.
The prospects for filling the reser-
voir during the coming winter are
excellent. The watershed of the res
ervoir comprises more than 5000
square miles, and a very little runoff
makes a marked addition to the water
in storage. 1t is necessary for some
what more than siX-tenths of an
inch of rain to fall on the watershed
in order to cause an appreciate run
off Six-tenths of an inch of rainfall
fully saturates the ground, and it is
believed that the recent rains have
been sufficient for such saturation;
so that il the present storm results
in even a moderate rain on the water
shed the supply in the reservoir should
be considerably increased. All the
old timers are predicting that there
will be an abundance of rain in the
mountains during the coming season.
In all the history of irrigation in
the Salt River valley. this is the
first autumn of abundant water. The
actual storage of water in sufficient
quantities began with this year. and
