John Abernathy, the wolf catcher,
should be enjoined from sending those
two little boys on any more long rides.
The utter senselessness of the whole
thing is enough but it is also extreme
cruelty. The next ride proposed is
from ocean to ocean about 5000 miles.
The weekly chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Craig County, Okla.) 1905-1913, 1911-08-04

This weeks Leader has long-wind-
ed and labored article on the commits
sion Of government in which il
lays stress on the many bad features
of this popular form of municipal gov
ernment and then winds up by saying
that it is not against the commission
form of government. Wonder why the
Leader is not opposed to a thing that
is so bad.

There is a certain kind of fish when
attacked in mid-ocean will throw out
"a diseoloring fluid that darkens the
waters while the fish escapes in the
obscurity of the inky depths.
Those who are so persistently graft
ing the people of this good town are
seeking to defect the gaze of the pub
lie from the real issue while they
make good their escape.

When the crops are gathered in
Craig county this year the yield will
prove to be above an average in every
thing but oats Corn, hay and other
crops win be good There is going to
be a movement in land sales that will
break all records. Land buyers will
find crops growing that will show how
productive the country really is.

Now is the time to begin on the
weeds. Weeds are like sin, indigenous,
whereas crops of grain and vegetables
have to be cultivated.

Perhaps the most valuable tree ever
known in the state of Oklahoma lies
near the Missouri Pacific depot at this
place, cut in sections of four logs, be-
sides a large limb over two feet in di-
ameter, says Col. ]. S. Holden, in the
TT. Gibson New Era The largest log
is over five feet in diameter and scales
about 1000 feet. The whole is valued
at s1,50S as the timber lies.
This tree was taken out of the Ar
kansas river about two miles below
Fort Gibson, where it had lain for how
many years no one knows. The exact
location of its growth is also matter
of conjecture, but it was somewhere
near the Arkansas river, maybe on one
of the islands not many miles from
where it was discovered.
f. e. Steeber, a fisherman, had
known its location for four years or
more; knew it was a walnut tree by a
large limb above the watel. the body
being covered by water and sand. 1t
was man named G. l.. Dunn who,
IA few weeks since, explored and dis
covered the extent and size of the
tree, which required the work of sew
eral men about week to uncover and
place on land, and the cost of removal
as the tree or logs lay in Fort Gibson
was over s150.
The tree was sound throughout, solid
and heavy almost beyond description,
being of ebony hue. owing to its long
duration IN the water, which makes it
more valuable than green timber. It
will be shipped to Hamburg, Germany,

TOM WANTS A PRIMARY
FOR NAMING OF SENATOR
Thinks He Holds Balance of
Power

Atlanta, June 24-It is reported
here to-day that the purpose of Thorn
as E. Watson in coming to Atlanta and
opening headquarters, as he proposes
to do at the opening of the Legislature,
is not so much to take a hand in the
senatorial fight as to secure a primary
for senator so that the people of the
state may decide who shall be chosen.
Mr.. Watson's friends here stated to-
day that he could control 26 or u
votes, through which he would hold
the balance of power, and expressed
the belief that he could stave off an
election until some arrangement was
made for the holding of a primary.
Mr.. Watson will open his headquart-
ers at the Kimbal House next Tues
day, the day before the meeting OF
the General Assembly.
