DANGEROUS FRI:

Vinita experienced two fires since
Saturday night About noon Sunday
a fire was discovered in box car on
the Katy switrhs iii the north part u

reach the scene one car was practically
destroyed and the fire was eating its
way into the second. The fire was

damage was done to the second car.
1t is supposed the fire was started by
hoboes.
The second fire was in the Thomp-

occupied BY the Parker-Wise Invest

to the floor, but Deputy Baxley and
Policeman Perry noticed the blaze and
sounded the alarm. A quick response
from the department prevented the
fire from gaining any headway. The
only damage was small hole burned
in the floor. The loss was probably

Oklahoma City, Feb 2O-During the

Saturday Corporation Commissioner
George Henshaw made the statement
that Oklahoma is paying 100000 per

The statement was made by Hen

a question as to the cost of steel rails
imported from England to Galveston

no idea what the cost Of foreign steel

THIRD LEGISLATURE HAS
RECORD FOR KILLING BILLS

Oklahoma City, Feb 20.--It has been
remarked that the third legislature
has 40 far done more In killing bad
bills than IN passing new laws. Ii
the rule Of adjournment at the end Of
the first sixty days is adhered to the
session has but twelve more working
days, and a total of fifteen bills have
been presented to the governor. none
OF which may be said to be important.
It is now virtually certain that the
congressional redistricting cannot be
handled during the regular session. and
lit is thought Governor Cruce will not
call an extra session on this account.
II the legislature can reach it. some
change, will be mpSe FinS the general
election law. The house committee On
privileges and elections has tenta-
tive bill drawn which provides that
the state election board shall be elect
ed every two years by the people, and
under the district plan one member
will be republican The secretary
of state will be made member. but
otherwise, the powers of the board will
be left as at present. Another feature
is the rotation of candidates names in
the primary election, and for general
elections three ballots, the state, the
congressional and the county, are con-
templated.

BELIEVE RAINS HAVE
SAVED WHEAT CROP
Seeding of Alfalfa Had Practically
Stopped And Wheat Condition Was
Estimated at SO Per Cent.

Oklahoma City. Feb. 2O.--The board
Of agriculture estimates that the gem
eral rainfall which has visited vaIi-
Gus sections of Oklahoma during the
last week is worth millions of dollars
to the farmers of Oklahoma.
The longest drouth Of recent years.
which treatened to destroy all pros
poets of a wheat crop and to kill the
roots of alfalfa, has been broken by a
general precipitation all over the state,
according to reports received by Frank
Field, statistician of the board. Two
inches of rain are reported from Mus
kogee, three from Sulphur, one and a
half from Alva, two from Woodward
and so on over the state at large. The
lightest rains have occurred in the CEN
trai portion of the state, but sufficient
rain has fallen to break the drouth.
The condition of winter wheat be-
fore the rainfall of the present week
was estimated at SS per cent by the
board Of agriculture, and another
month Of dry weather would have prac-
tically exterminated the crop. 1t is
estimated by the board that wheat is
least damaged in the northwestern
part of the state, where the drouth
was most severe, for the reason that
there was not enough moisture I'd
sprout the seed and it has therefore
lain in the ground uninjured and will
now sprout and make fair crop next.
spring. Winter wheat was most seri-
ously injured in sections of the state
where only sufficient rain fell during
the early growing season to spront
the grain and then succeeding dry
weather killed the sprouts. Just what
effect the present rains will have on
the winter wheat can be determined
by the March monthly bulletin blanks
for which are being sent to the var
ious crop correspondents by the board.
It is believed that the rains will save
much Of the wheat crop.
The protracted drouth which in
most sections of the state extended
for more than six months practically
stopped the seeding of alfalfa during
that time, and it interfered with the
growth of old alfalfa. but the board |
egtimates that few of the roots have
been killed and that the present rains
will save the crop.
Fruit trees, too, were seriously men
aced by the long dry spell, many own
ers of orchards fearing that their trees
would die unless rams fell soon.
During the six months of extreme
drouth in Oklahoma farmers and cat /
tie raisers were put to great trouble
to procure water for their stock, some
Of them having been compelled to haul
it for miles. while on some of the rail-
way lines water for tanks had TO be
hauled by water trains.
The breaking of the lrouth is caus-
ing general rejoicing over the state.

Oklahoma Gold Field at
Ravia Attracting Attention

Rayia, Okla, Feb 20.-Through the
gold field discovered in Johnson coun
ty, with Ravia as its centerpiece, may
never become a second El Dorado, il
is now certain that gold and other
minerals exist in sufficient quantities
to make their mining a profitable en-
terprise. The discovery of these rich
deposits of ore has become the liyest
topic in the Chickasaw and Choctaw
nations.
When the announcement of the dis
covery of gold went forth some five
or six weeks ago widespread attention
was aroused. Old-time miners and
prospectors from all parts of the coun-
try have been focking to the new field,
inspired by the dream of the discov-
cry of another Cripple Creek. Besides
gold, silver, platinum, copper, zinc, lead
and other minerals have been discov-
cred in the rugged hills that almost
surround Ravia. Many believe that a
wonderful strike has been made.
All the metals named have been
found in well established fissure veins.
The field is said to embrace 15O to $50
square miles and frequent analysis
show the metals to exist in paying
quantities. They are found in various
combinations and at varying depths
from the surface to depth of so feet,
which is the depth of the deepest
shaft to date.
No free gold has been found Neither
has it been found in pockets or mug
gets The precious yellow metal is
found in porphery rock enclosed in
walls of granite or occasionally in
limestone formation.
There is but little excitement in the
new field On the contrary every one
seems to regard the "ind" as matter

Jubilee of the prelate's ordination to the
priesthood and the silver jubilee of his
elevation to the cardinalate. A coat-of-
arms carved in Eastwood. five by four
feet, and set in gold frame. was pre-
sented to the cardinal by priests of the
Paulist community. The shield was de-
signed by William Laurel Harris of the
Paulist Fathers. and is said to be the first
of its kind attempted by an American. 1t
is an elaborate reproduction of the design
recently adopted by the cardinal as prince
