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

Washington, d. c., April 1S.--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 a
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
lor 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
a coaling station on the Pacific coast
of Mexico. He said:
Il 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
part of Mexico we would unquestion-
ably be entitled to an explanation. :"
| He added that he had no fear that his
tory may repeat itsesr or that any gov
ernment would attempt to initiate the
example of Napoleon III, who through
lfelse pretenses, and subterfuges sent
an Austrian archduke to a 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 deelar-
ed there could be no cause for hos
Utilities between the two countries.
Diserediting the report that Japan
might desire to take surreptitious pos
session of the island of Guam. cable

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

A 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 its 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 a saliferous
shale. That is to say, the shale is inn
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 salt
plants. A branch of the Santa Fe,
which crosses the plains, has direct
connection with the Fort Smith and
Western railroad, which penetrates the
coal field. In other words, these
plains have direct access to coal;
therefore the matter of fuel should be
easy of solution,
The second proposition has been ad-
vocated in the press a number of
times, namely the institution of hospi-
tails for tuberculosis patients and per
sons afflicted with similar diseases
This however, is merely a suggestion
of Mr. Gould's, for as geologist and
not medical man he feels that a
problem of this nature should be dealt
with by an army surgeon or some one
of that kind
Mr.. Gould refers to the first propos-
ition as being. the most feasible, and
further states that no doubt the first
salt plant to locate on the great plains
of Alfalfa county will command the
future salt trade of Oklahoma.

and wrecked. This section of the vii
lage was that in which the residences
were located
The amount of damage done to
property at this time is but matter
of conjecture, but from the reports of
eye witnesses it will be heavy.
That there was no loss on account
Of fire was due to the fact that a
drenching rain soaked into the dilapi-
dated dwellings. The afternoon hav-
ing been warm, many stoves were not
burning.
Little damage was done to property
in Tulsa county, although high wind
prevailed during the greater part of
the day. Numerous clouds which

violence was felt. There was but
slight trace of rain early during last

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
house was in session only a few min
utes yesterday but in that time the
actual work of the session was begun.
The introduction of the Canadian
treaty bill and 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 the farmers have to buy"
are placed on the free list.
The Canadian reciprocity agreement
is unchanged except in a 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-
lay and checked up to the senate.
That is the beginning of the tariff
fight. After disposing of the two bills
introduced, the democrats will begin
the work of revising the wooden
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 a '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
house will be sufficient excuse, when
it reaches the senate, to permit that
body to enter into the entire subject
Of the tariff. So while the house is
working on the various schedules it
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,
1t may be said that they will renew
their fight for general revision of the
Aldrlch-Payne act. They do not be-
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
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.
It may develop that the progressive
idea Of revising the Payne law for the
correction of it's inequalities, and the
democratic idea of revising it schedule
by schedule are not far apart. In that
case the progressives and the demo-
Gratis will not find it difficult to agree
upon tariff bill But whatever the
outcome in the senate, the democrats
of the house have left no doubt as to
their intention to check their revision
measures up to the senate without
wasting any time in doing it.

MUCH GOOD DONE
IN CRAIG COUNTY
Good Work Done BY State Men In
Craig County During Last
Week.

Last week was banner one for
Craig County Farmers Institute, and
. saw more interest aroused on the sub
8 iect of our possibilities from an agri-
l cultural standpoint than ever before
!. in our history. Hon. Hardy Dial, the
Estate cotton expert, and Prof Wilkin-
5 son OF the state A. & Nj. college, spent
three days lecturing to our people and
are primarily responsible for the in
terest taken They addressed good
audiences at Bluejacket and Welch
5*on Thursday and were to have spoken
at Centralia on Friday, but the weather
k1hade it impossible to reach there and
Sreturn in time for their engagement
at Big Cabin Friday night, so they
kspoke at the latter place only. They
Fspent Saturday n Vinita, and spoke
lat the court house in the afternoon.
SMr. Dial is one of Oklahoma's most
hunique characters; a successful prac-
atical farmer who has demonstrated in
eactual experience, the truths he so
effectively presents from the plat
kform-not ''book-farmer" or scat
Her-brained" theorist, who promulgates
Isome untried doctrine-but man who
has been educated in the school OF
Sactual experience and whole state
1nents are consistent with reason,
every day knowledge and plain horse
sense" This is the kind of talk that
Interests farmers and business men
and carries conviction to all who hear.
Many of ou rpeople have mistrusted
the value of the organization known
as the farmers institute" but If any
such are left we feel sure it is only
Ahey who failed to hear Mr.. Dial.
Prof. Wilkinson was particularly in
1erested in organizing the boys and
girls corn clubs, and succeeded in en-
rolling about one hundred and twenty
five, which appears quite creditable
for our first year when we consider
that two years since there were only
Mice that number in the whole state.
These two men, chaperoned by our
Sounty superintendent, Mr.. Shelton,
lake an excellent team and the insti-
.ite after vote of thanks for what
G8ey have done already, has requested
he state board of agriculture to send
hem back as soon as possible. al
hough ours is perhaps the least or
kanized county in the state, both these
Fnen were SO impressed with our agri-
cultural possibilities, that they do not
hesitate to say that proper organiza-
Fion and agitation is all that needed
to raise our annual production from
less than two Gas it now isl to more
than five million dollars. This means
more than three million extra annual
" turned loose among our people, and
IS far in excess of what we can hope
X gain from all the railroads ever
Projected, or all the factories ever pro-
Rpsed, and this without one dollar of
90nus or other outlay except organiz-
ID, united and intelligent effort on the
,art of our farmers and business men
gou may doubt this statement but if
fou had heard Hardy Dial you would
Got. at any rate its worth the trial.
Won't you join us7

In a tornado that swept over the
northwest portion of this county late
Wednesday afternoon, two babies are
known to have been killed, two women
probably fatally injured and several
other persons seriously hurt.
The storm was not confined to Craig
county, but, from reports received last
night and today, swept a path across
a portion of Oklahoma and Kansas,
from the Usage nation on the south
and west to Lawrence, Kans., ON the
north. In all, many persons were kill
ed and injured and the twister
wrought havoc to property in its
wake.
The damage done in Craig county
was in the vicinity of Hollow and the
Hudson creek country, about eight
or nine miles west of Welch. At Hol-
low the store and postoffice was
wrecked and many farm houses in the
vicinity demolished.
The home of Charles Knight, SON.
in-law of former County Commissioner
A. A. Barker, about seven miles west
of Welch, was destroyed and the baby
of the family killed. Mrs. Knight was
also perhaps fatally injured Mr..
Knight and the three other children
were injured, but not seriously. At
the home of ]. G. Moore, northwest of
Centralia, another baby was killed and
its mother, Mrs. j. G. Moore, perhaps
fatally injured.
Owing to the distance from towns
and the impaired condition of the
wires it has been impossible to get
the details of the storm damage.
