Salt Plains of Oklahoma.

There are seven salt plains in west
ern Oklahoma, but the one in Alfalfa
county is the largest of them all.
1t is twelve miles long and seven
wide. regularly oval in shape.
It is as flat as floor and its sur
face is as hard and firm as an asphalt
street and under ordinary conditions
it is covered with white incrusta
ton of salt crystals, rendering it as
white as snow.
After rain the crystals are melted
and the surface of the plain is red.
If hole is dug into the plain, in
ten minutes it fills up with strong
salt brine.
The amount of this is ineXhaustible
for all practical purposes.
Prof. Gould director of the Oklaho'
ma geological survey believes that
within a few years this plain will be-
come very valuable.
The first salt plant to be located
there will control the salt trade of
Oklahoma.

With a view of stimulating trade in
Navajo blankets, the Indian Office
is seeking information on this i'm
portant industry of the Navajo In
dams of Arizona and New Mexico.
Letters have been addressed to
traders in those Territories as well
as the Indian superintendent ask
ing data on the number of blankets
sold, the number of Indians engag-
ed in the work, whether the weav-
ing is done chiefly by the men or
women and whether home or
bought wool and dyes are used.
The Indian Office is contemplate
ing changing the breed of sheep
raised by these Indians and wants
a strain which will produce wool
suitable for the blankets. The
data sought may guide in the Sc
lection of the breed.

might be offered by the commits
sion. He argued in a decidedly
guarded but involved way for
central bank of some sort or other
and further declined to commit
himself. He may not have intend
ed to create the impression that the
country at large was Obliged to
wait upon the commission and
Chairman Aldrich, but that was the
impression his utterances and the
commissions conduct created. and
it was neither a happy nor fOrtu-
itous eventuation for the success of
the commissions undertaking.
While the banker, business man
and politician said nothing they
thought much on this aspect, and
beyond peradventure, the Senate's
vote of Sc to 6 is a fair appraisal of
the publics esteem for the National
Monetary Commission. If ever a
public commission mistook its real
function and wasted an excellsnt
opportunity for real and lasting
service to the people, that agency
is the National Monetary Commits
sion. Looking back on what it has
accomplished we find the results
pitiful; and looking back on what it
has not accomplished we find the
greatest opportunity which was
ever presented for the popular en-
lightenment of this country on our
currency issue, neglected and unim-
proved. 1t went to Europe to as
certain the ins and outs of banking
and currency in that Continent to
reform this country's system, but
it never went to the trader or bust
ness man of this country, or to the
citizen at large to learn his opinion
or to share with him its particular
views, although his views and inter
ests are vital and final in any de-
termination of the currency issue. -
