"Our corn belt" he is purported

include higher prices of cattle and

An interesting program has been
arranged for the farmers meeting
to be held in Greeley next week.
Every effort has been made to make
the gathering of exceptional attrac-
tiveness to farmers and their wives.
Last year the papers and talks at
the institute proved of such practi-
cal value and resulted in such CO.
operation between the farmers Of
the different districts of the county
that the grasshopper nuisance was
abolished and the way laid for
other cooperative work to increase
the fertility of the soil and har-
vests.
This year in order that NJ one
shall be turned away because of
lack of room, the opera house has
been engaged as the meeting place
and the speakers are the best known
agriculturists in this part of the
state.
Following is the complete program
for the gathering:

KNOX EXPLAINS ISSUANCE
Of VOUCHER TO HALE'S son

Correspondence between Secretary
Knox and Consul General Michael at
Calcutta, indicated that the mysterious
difference between the amount of the
voucher and the actual amount paid
to the portrait painter was applied to
emergency accounts, probably Chinese
matters, according to Mr.. Michael
Mr.. Morrison probably will be re-
called to explain how the voucher hap
pened to be among the "crumpled en-
velopes" near his waste basket at the
close of the days work, long after the
search for the document had been on.
The secretary explained, apparently
to the satisfaction of the committee,
the payment of $4,000 to Frederick
Hale, son of former Senator Eugene
Hale of Maine, for services in connec-
tion with Canadian boundary negotia-
tions. Mr. Knox produced the sections
of the treaty in 1908, which authorized
negotiations with Canada to establish
the line through Passamaquoddy Bay.
Mr.. Hale was employed for this work,
performed his duties to the satisfaction
of Secretary Root and Secretary Knox
approved his bill of $4,000 few weeks
after coming into control of the state
department.
"Mr. Hale was not employed actu-
ally to locate the boundary, but for the
diplomatic work of agreeing on the
line through Passamaquoddy Bay"
said Mr.. Knox. when he failed to
reach an agreement with Great Britain
the matter automatically went to ar
bitration. Congress then appropriated
$4,000 for that work, but Mr.. Bryce
and | sat in my Office one day and
settled the matter, not regarding it of
enough value to go to the expense of
arbitration"

CASE WAS ONCE IN
SUPREME COURT
District Court Begins The Second
Trial Of The Case of }. c. English
VS.. Bank of Big Cabin.

The district court today is hearing
the case of ]. G. English VS.. the Bank
of Big Cabin
This was the first case heard in the
district court after statehood. It was
decided in favor of the bank and was
appealed to the supreme court. In
that tribunal the case was remanded
to the district court for retrial. The
case is a suit to recover money from
the bank, alleged to have been on de-
post. From the testimony 1t seems
that English had sold some hogs in
Kansas City and had placed the funds
in a bank at Kansas City. Later, it is
alleged, he gave the Bank of Big
Cabin a check for the amount, taking
a certificate of deposit for the same.
He was allowed to check on this ac-
count and drew out about $4O0 Then
it seems the bank at Kansas City, on
which the check was drawn failed, be-
fore the check was presented for pay
ment, and the bank Of Big Cabin re-
fused to allow English to further check
on the account. English then brought
suit to recover the remaining $500 of
the alleged deposit.

OKLAHOMA HAS IMMENSE
WEALTH IN HER MINERALS

Norman, Okla, June 15.-Oklahoma
may have no mines or diamond pits,
but she is so rich in other natural
products that the average citizen sell
dom realizes their extent.
Chas. N. Gould, director Of the Okla
homa geological survey at Norman,
has worked for years investigating Ok
lahoma's natural resources, and finds
that she has 2,OOO.OOO,OOO cubic feet of
gas per day, has 100000 900 tons
of coal yet to be mined, has enough
asphalt to pave all the cities in the
United States for the next hundred
years; lead and zinc deposits ranking
with the best OK other states, has 123,-
900, 100000 tons of gypsum in sight, a
ledge of glass sand so feet thick and
go miles long, twenty varieties and
shades of granite in practically mex
haustible amount. immense quantities
of limestone superior to the famous
Bedford, large deposits of iron ore and
many other minor minerals.
When the fact comes home to us
that these resources are in the infancy
of development, we cannot but know
that Oklahoma's future is assured.

NEW METHODS FOR
SETTLING SUITS
Chairman Stephens of the House Com
mttee viii Introduce Measure for
Settlement of 10000 Cases.

Washington, D. c., June ia plan
for the settlement of the 10000 land
suits in eastern Oklahoma is being
thought out by Chairman John H.
Stephens of the house committee on
Indian affairs, and will be introduced
at this ession of congress. Action on
the bill will, however, be delayed until
the regular session next December.
Mr.. Stephens plan Is to confirm the
sales of Indian lands already made,
the court trying the case to appoint
a master of chancery, whose duty it
will be to determine the true value of
the land in controversy at the date of
sale, the report to be controverted by
the Indian or the government, and the
amount of value found by the court
at the time of sale and if it proves
more than the amount paid shall be
entered up as judgment against the
land. 1t will also be provided that no
title shall pass from the government to
the present owner or holder of the
land until the full value of the land is
paid. Under the proposed bill, the
innocent purchaser, would be held re-
sponbile for the payment of the actual
value of the land at the time of the
original sale by the Indian allottees.
Judge Stephens is working out an
other plan to do away with the ap-
poi1tment of master in chancery and
which he thinks would hasten the set
tlement of matters, by the selection of
a commission of three members in
each county where there was dispute
over the sale of an allotment, one to
, be appointed by the department of
justice; one by the Indians and one
by the county judge, to appraise the
lands involved and the judge to enter
Judgment in conformity with the report
of the commission.
Judge Stephens believes this is the
only equitable way in which the 3d.
600 land suits in eastern Oklahoma
can be disposed Of 1t is expected that
the department of justice will oppose
this method of procedure, but strong.
effort will be made to have the bill
passed through congress.
Judge w c. Pollock of the interior
department says that movement is
already under way to dismiss all suits
where it can be shown they were un-
reasonably brought
The 10000 land suits come up for
hearing before the United States su-
preme court early next fall.

BIG MORTGAGE FILED BY
KANSAS GAS COMPANY

Bartlesville, Okla, June 15.-A mort
gage signed by the Kansas Natural
Gas company, in favor of the Fidelity
Title and Trust company of Pittsburg,
Pa, is being filed with the register of
deeds of all the Kansas counties in
which the company's properties are
located. In 1904 the company mort
gagged its properties to the Fidelity for
$4,000,000 in the form of 81 900, 6 per
cent bonds. Since that time the com
pany has paid off half the bonded debt.
But the mortgage provides that it
may cover any other property acquired
or be made subject to special mort
gage.
The company has become possessed
of a vast amount of property in seven
years, and it now is filing the security
provided in the original mortgage,
which includes pipe lines, stations,
plants, etc. in Montgomery county.
Kansas City, Atchison, Leavenworth,
Lawrence and Topeka, Kans., and
Carthage, Joplin and Webb City, Mo.
It includes also the two sixteen-inch
main lines north of Kansas City and
the sixteen-inch main into the Garth
age Mo.

Washington, d. c., June 15.-Wher
the secretary of state presented the
long missing voucher for 81, ,450 in the
Day portrait case yesterday Chairman
Hamlin of the house committee on ex-
penditures examined it eagerly and
finally said that he believed the docu-
ment had been "doctored" since the
beginning of the investigation.
do you mean that you suspect
someone in the state department is
guilty of committing forgery?" de-
manded Secretary Knox with heat.
Mr. Hamlin hastened to absolve him
lof any suspicion.
Attached to the voucher which dis
appeared from the department files
and mysteriously reappeared on the
floor of the disbursing clerks office
Monday, was a memorandum leaf
showing that $3.50 had been paid the
artist for the portrait and $50 had
gone for the purchase of frame.
Mr.. Knox declared he knew nothing
of the manner in which the voucher
had disappeared or how it had been
found, although he had investigated.
The members of the committee, upon
examination, found that it was not
actually dated January IS, 1904, but
read: Received January IS, 1904, the
sum of $780," with an explanation of
the purpose.
Mr. Hamlin intimated that he be-
lieved it had been fixed up, at least the
explanation written in ink across the
bottom, after the present investigation
began.
Il will welcome an investigation, /"
Secretary Knox said, "and if you can
corroborate your theory, and can show
that anyone in the state department
was cognizant of such an act, there will
be some vacancies"
Howard Sangston, the messenger in
lDisbursing Clerk Morrison's office, who
found the envelope containing the
voucher on the floor of the Office after
the whole department had been ran
sacked for it, then was put on the
stand
He said he found the envelope
among a lot of crumpled ones by Mr..
Morrisons waste basket, about four
mad one-half feet from the latter's
desk. He said Mr.. Morrison always
threw the crumpled envelopes down
on the floor In picking them up at the
close OF the day he found the heavy
envelope amongst them.
II laid it on Mr.. Morrison's desk, "
Sangston said, "and he said. why,
Howard, where did you get this? This
is the voucher that has been causing
all the trouble"
Secretary Knox introduced the let
ter Secretary Root had written to w.
H. Michael, now consul general at Cal
cutta, and former chief clerk, when
the Rosenthal matter first came up in
1906; and the reply of Mr.. Michael.
These were all the explanations the
state department has, Secretary Knox
said

REASON FOR ABANDONMENT
OF REFINER|ES ON COAST
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
Washington, D. c., June 13.-An eff
fort to discover whether a non-com-
petitiye zone had been established by
the American Sugar Refining company
in an attempt to control the prices,
marked the resumption of the sugar
trust inquiry today. E. F. Atkins, act
ing head of the sugar corporation de-
cided that the American Sugar Rein
ing company owned the minority stock
in sugar refinery, in California, and
that it did not attempt to compete with
them. The reason for the abandon
ment of the cost business, he said, was
that freight rate difference of the half
cent pound on sugar transportation
from the western refineries.

COMMISSION HAS DISPOSED
OF GREAT MANY CASES

Oklahoma City, June 15.-The cor
poration commission has at the begin
ming of its June term disposed of a
large number of cases. Several of
them were dismissed through compli-
ance on the part of the railroad COM
panies with the improvements or bet
terments of the service sought in the
complaints. Commissioner George
Henshaw stated that the corporation
commission furnishes convenient
avenue through which the patrons of
railroads and the companies reach an
agreement regarding needed improve
ments. He finds that the complaints
filed with the commission serve as a
means of calling to the attention of
the road matters which need care, but
which would not reach their notice
through any other channels.
The following cases were dismissed
by the commission through agreements
reached between the roads and COM
plainants: D. M. Falkner ct al of Han
son, VS.. the Iron Mountain, asking for
removal of an agent at Fort Gibson,

DEMOCRATIC HOUSE MAY
NOT AGREE TO AMENDMENT
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Washington D. c., June 1S.-With
both the senate and house convened
and number of important committees
at work, congress is buster today than
at any other time during the present
session. 1t is believed also that before
adjournment conferences from both
branches would be named to take un-
der consideration the constitutional
resolutions for the direct election of
senator's, passed by the senate last
night by vote of sixty-four to twenty
four. There is grave doubt of the
democratic house agreeing to the Bris-
tow amendment for federal control of
senatorial elections.
