W. H. II. Keltner OF Leon was in
the city yesterday en- route from
Tishomingo to hi, home. In reply
to query as to the attendance at
the short course at the Murray Ag
ricutural school, he said
Yes, was in attendance at
Tishomingo during the short course,
| found over 100 boys and girls
in attendance at the regular school.
Master Goodwin Keltner, aged II
years, the champion cotton grower,
attended with his father and was
an interested student. This young
man raised one bale of cotton to the
acre on four acres of land this year
which is believed to be the record
of the state.
! Mr.. Keltner is firm believer in
progressive farming and is very
proud of the achievement of his son.
He states that the quicker the farm
ers of the state resort to scientific
methods in farming the better it
will be for them. He stated that he
was strictly in favor of maintaining
and sutaining all the agricultural
schools that We have in the state
Mr.. Keltner was one of the men
who attended the Sequoyah conven-
tion at Muskogee as a delegate in
1905 and fought for agricultural ed
ucation in the schools of the state
and helped TO secure its adoption.
Yes, sir I stood for agricultu-
raj education then and | favor it
now more than ever" said Mr.. Kelt-
ner. u believe that the provisions
of the laws of the state are not
sufficient in regard to agricultural
training and should be amended so
as to broaden The field and increase
its efficiency, | am opposed to the
Akin bill or any other Bill that will
decrease in any manner the agri.
cultural training of the boys and
girls of the state. However | would
favor sSy provision that would re
duce the normal schools of the state
to one. but the girls training school
at Chickasha should be maintained
and If possible the work of that
school should he limited only by

We are not interested in furnishing

We will see that it does not come from

The tribal delegates and attorneys
were appointed Ly the chief, who,
bear in mind, were appointed prac-
tically by the secretary of the interior
The tribal council is composed, as
the chief has told YOU, OF twenty mem-
Ders of the lower house and twelve
members in the senate, a number of
whom were elected by the people in
1904, and all the others appointed by
the Chief, and the Chief creation of
the interior department. But it mat
elected or appointed, they are Crea-
tions of the interior department just
the same, because those members
elected in 1904 were elected for two
Years only and their terms expired
long before the separation of the sur
face from the segregated mineral land
was a question. Their terms of offilr
were continued ty the act of March
3, 1906 and April 26, 1906 passed by
