GENTLEMEN USING

 erty, It Is Said

OKLAHOMA CITY, May 25.-Charg- es that the cattlemen in the Okla- homa Panhandle" have fenced in thousands of acres of state school lands for which they are paying nothing have been made to the commissioners of the Oklahoma school land office. John B. Williams, secretary of the department, who has gathered some information on the subject. left yesterday for Cim- arron, Beaver and Texas counties, to make an investigation of the re- ports.
 If it develops that cattlemen are using vast tracts of state lands for grazing purposes without compensa- tion 10 the state. the school land commissioners will take steps to lease these lands for grazing pur- poses in tracts of not less than siC acres, placing a clause in the lease, however, that the lessees are not to have. any preference rights to pur. chase the lands at the highest bids. The leases will be made to expire when the lana IS sOlu-
 Vast Tracts Yield Nothing.
 The state has more than 100000 GOO acres of college lands and many thousands of acres of other school lands in the three Panhandle coun- ties. much of which lies in consol- idated tracts and is not under lease hecanse there has been little demand for leases. If an investigation shows that graziers have been getting the benefit of the lands without paying rental they will be required to give nossession to lessees. Secretary Williams stated today that he has received applications thus Tar 10 lease 10000 acres.
 Hear Outsiders eenef't.
 The commissioners have reason .bav sav. to suspect that one cattle man has .a fence around sixty sec lions of state land in Cimarron county. It is declared he purchaser email tracts entirely surrounding the state land in question.
 The commissioners also believe sheen men of Colorado and Ne" NTexico have been grazing vast nerd7 over unfenced school lands in eS' treme western Oklahoma that are not pnder lease.

will those men. settling on these lands, who must build themselves huts or houses. provide themselves with farming implements and build their fences, pay taxes for two or three years? The war in Mexico has cost the country heavily. fail to see where there is going to be enough money left in the treasury to set up all of these people in business, so to speak.
 The foreign interests. too, have suffered. As a consequence 1t wilt not be advisable to inflict greater burdens of taxation upon them. Many of the great industries in which for. eigu capital has been invested are idle as a result of the unsettled cons as.inrs big industry suffers iuzt as does smaller one. Just think ot what the cost has been to the ratl- roads alone. know the railroads will be heavy sufferers not alone from the loss of business. but the cost of replacing the property that has been destroyed.
 So when you sum it up on the whole. anyone with presidential anl- bitions. and likewise those who would be cabinet officers or the gov- erpors of states, have before them what | would call a mans size .ob.

many people to hear him as could
be seated in the court house building.
DR.. Smith has been one of the
great forces that has built Oklahoma
City. While he has been a town
builder, he has not in any way low
cred the dignity of his calling in the
ministry. 1t is a rare treat to sit
and listen to his logic; he is inspir-
ing to every man of energy and to
every man who desires to accomplish
something.
The commercial body of the town
should not be slow to avail itself OF
the opportunity OF arranging for the
people to hear him. It is especially
fitting that Dr. Smith should lecture
in Ardmore during the campaign for
new members.

GOLD IN MASSES
STARTS STAMPEDE
RUSH TO THE NEW NEVADA
FIELD THE GREATEST SEEN IN
RECENT YEARS.

Reno, New, March 2S.-One of the
greatest mining stampedes since the
discovery of Tonopah and Goldfield
began here when a special train start

north Of here, on the line of the Ne

across the California line in Washoe
county, New, on Fort Sage noun
tain.
Six men ran onto quartz groupings
sticking above the surface and ex
tending for great distance along
the ridge and into the valley.
According to advices reaching here
an assay made at Susanville shows
the ore to run as high as $4,000
to the ton. The ledge is three feet
wide and extends more than two
miles.
A telephone message from Amadee
says $50 homesteaders are already 10
Gated on the low mineral range, and
that in addition to gold the surface
is rich in silver
The reports OF the rich strike are
corroborated by the Southern Pacific
managers here, who received full tel
ephone details. A party Of prospect
ors was working over the old ground
which showed no traces of good min
eral. when they ran upon a kind OF
quartz dyke that was hidden by a
heavy growth of sage and grease
wood. They were cutting their way
through the scrub to allow the pack
animals to cross into another little
valley, when they were amazed to
see the quartz ridge, which they
found extended for hundreds of feet
They continued to pack away the
scrub and traced the ledge for about
two miles, the average width being
two feet. The quartz was so heavily
charged with gold that prospectors
estimated it at from $4,000 to 800,
900 a ton in gold, besides considera

had underestimated it's richness.
This news set Reno wild, and sew

that people should believe us, or
at least put our claim to a practical
test when we take all the risk.
These are facts which we want the
people 20 substantiate. We want them
to try Rexall Mucu-Tone, medicine
prepared from a prescription of a
physician with whom catarrh was
a specially, and who has a record
of thirty years of enviable success
to his record.
We receive more good reports
about Rexall Mucu-Tone than we
do of all other catarrh remedies
sold in our store, and if more people
only knew what a thoroughly de-
pendable remedy Rexall Mucu-
Tone is, it would be the only catarrh
remedy We would have any demand
for
Rexall Mucu-Tone is quickly alb
sorbed and by its therapeutic effect
tends to disinfect and cleanse the
entire mucuous membraneous tract,
to destroy and remove the parasites
which injure the membraneous
tissues, to soothe the irritation
and heal the soreness, stop the
mucous discharge, build up strong,
healthy tissue and relieve the blood
and system of diseased matter. It's
influence is toward stimulating the
muco-cells, aiding digestion and inn
proving nutrition until the whole
body vibrates with healthy activity.
In a comparatively short time it

okLAHOMA'S WATER POWER.

University Professor Says Possibili
ties Not Being Developed.
Guthrie, Okla, March 2S.-"Th'
water power resources Of Oklahoma
are extensive, but at the presen
time practically undeveloped, says
Prof Charles ~ Gould Of the State
University. "A number OF swift-flow
ing streams, carrying constant vol
umes of water, cross the state. Pow
er plants are now in operation al
only three places, namely, AnardarkC
and Chickasha on the Washita, and
at Tishomingo on the Pennington.
Such rivers as Poteau, Kiamitia, Bog
gy, Blue, Grand, Vedigris, Illinois
North Canadian and Little River, and
creeks such as Rock. Honey and Mill,
contain an ample supply Of water to
run scores, not to say hundreds, OF
power plants capable of generating
thousands of horsepower.
Two rather ambitious projects are
now being considered, one. located in
South Central Oklahoma, contem-
plates the construction Of ten or
twelve plants at various points along
the Washita River, between Lindsey
and Berwyn. The combined power
from these plants is to be carried to
Oklahoma City. Shawnee, Ardmore
ard other towns in the central part
Of the state. A second project OF
nearly as great magnitude in the
eastern part of the state contemplates
the erection Of a dam across the
Grand River near Muskogee. It is
estimated that the power generated
from this point would be sufficient
to supply light and power to a city
of 100000 people.
"Other projects have been surveyed
at Keokuk Falls and Weleetka on the
North Canadian; at Carnegie, Fort
Cobb, Cloud Chief. Lindsay, Pauls
Valley and Dougherty on the Washi
Ia River; near Bolton and Milburn on
the Blue; at TahleQuah and Cookson
on the Illinois and a number of 9th
er places. Suffice 1t to say that If
the immense deposits of coal, oil and
gas lying dormant in our hills are
ever exhausted there is enough water
power yet unutilized to supply all the
factories. plants and mines that Ok
lahoma will need"
