UNPRECEDENTED
HEAT WAVE HERE
Highest Temperature Ever Recorded
Here in February-Mercury Shows
SO Above Thursday Morning.

Unprecedented weather has prevail.
ed over northeastern Oklahoma this
week. The temperature has been the
highest ever recorded here in the
month of February. Yesterday the
thermometer showed a temperature
around 80 degrees above zero and at
an early hour today the temperature
was 50, and this afternoon it is
thought the mercury is above 80.
No fires were needed to keep the
business houses and homes comfort
able last night. The extremely spring
like weather is summarized in the fol.
lowing short poem:
There is whisper in the breeze,
the poet blithe did sing,
There is stirring in the trees which
seems to speak of spring.
There is warmth about the earth, a
kindness in the sky,
"A floating snatch of childish mirth
which tells that spring is nigh
There is a scent of swelling buds, a
sound of singing birds,
(Which speaks of flowers, and OF
floods, more verify than words
ooh, Spring, know that you are here
for many a happy day,
"And that old Winter, gray and drear
has grimly gone his way.
$50, hail, glad Spring, who decorates
our winter blanched abode"
The poet sang, but-unkind fates-on
that same day it showed.

LAST Of DAVIS
CONGRESS DYING
Since Before the Civil War Can't. S. 8.
Callahan Has Been Active in
Indian Affairs.

Muskogee, OKLA, Feb. 16-Capt. S.
B. Callahan, the last surviving mem
ber of the second congress of the con-
federacy, is dangerously i'll at his
home here and doctors believe that he
cannot recover. Captain Callahan has
been, since the death Of the late Sem
ator Vest of Missouri, the last men,
Der of Jeff Davis lawmaking body, in
which he represented the Creek and
Seminole Indian nations He came
to the Indian country in 1888 when
the Creek Indians were forced from
their homes in Alabama and Georgia
to the Indian Territory, now Oklaho-
ma. His father was an Irish architect
and his mother Greek woman.
Captain Callahan became large
holder of negro slaves prior to the
Civil War and joined the Confederacy
as soon as war was declared.
Captain Callahan organized a COM
pany of Creek Indians and they joined
General Prices army in Missouri. 1t
was one of the companies that formed
Prices Indian regiment. In the battle
OF Pea Ridge it was said that Union
soldiers who fell were scalped by the
Indians under Prices command, but
this has been proved to be untrue.
In 1862 Captain Callahan was elect
ed a member of the Confederate con-
gress. He went to Richmond and re-
mained there nearly year, returning
only to take command of his troops
again. When peace was declared the
Indian soldiers found their way back
from Louisiana to their homes as best
they could.
When Captain Callahan went to war
he left his wife and two children on
his ranch near Okmulgee. He had a
good home, big trading post store,
thousands of cattle and horses and
his ranch was as much as he chose
to occupy. When he returned his
wife and children had fed to Texas
for their lives, his home and store
had been burned and his cattle and
horses had been either driven off or
killed.

States is but natural expression of
their independence Efforts to re-
strain, hamper. and interfere with its
realization will be as futile and un-
profitable as were the early ruinous
trade wars between the states.
The reasons for reciprocity are
very real and striking and ought to lift
the consideration of the result of the
recent negotiations to a high plane and
large-minded comprehension of the
greater reasons and motives of human
and national relations and rise above
the mere balancing of trade advan-
tages."

that land will never be cheaper than
it is TO-DAY.
The national irrigation act is regard
ed by most observers of conditions in
the arid and semi-arid states as the
most beneficial statute yet placed up
on the federal books. Farmers and
orchardists in the western country hail
it as the second emancipation procla-
nation, as it has freed thousands from
drudgery in the thronged cities and
made them Independent, prosperous
and happy in comfortable homes on
fertile lands in the open country.

ment officers Reintroduced.

fective work had been done on the

little or no opposition to this part of
the proposed prohibition program.

Clark of Grant. 1t provides a half

lower house and recommended for pas
sage, were introduced in the senate
Wednesday afternoon by Senator
Briggs, of Woodward; McMehan of
Oklahoma City; Newell of Jennings
and Langston of Guymon.
