OTTOWA COUNTY
EXTENDS TIME
FORPANKG TAXES
Until February is the Time Given for
Payment of First Half-Second
Half Delinquent June IS.

The board of county commissioners
met yesterday and took action to ex-
tend the time limit for payment of
first half of taxes from January to
February 1, 1912. If the first half is
not paid by February /, then the en-
tire amount becomes due and delin-
quent upon that date.
This action is taken owing to the
fact that the tax books were not re-
|ceived until December 20 and the time
was necessarily short in which to make
the first payment Although the time
for paying was practically past a large
amount of taxes were not yet paid
The extension is possibly quite boon
to those who have not yet paid since
they have more time, but worked an
injustice to those who have already
paid, being discrimination between
the prompt payer an dthe one who ne
elected it.

Although most of the gold still
comes from the placers, much progress
was made during 1911 in paving the
way for an increased output from au-
riferous lodes. This work was car
ried on in most of the gold-bearing
areas of Alaska, but the most notable
advances We're in the Juneau, Valdez,
Kenai Peninsula, Willow Creek, and
Fairbanks districts. Aside from the
increase in copper mining the advance
made in developing gold lode mines
is the most encouraging feature of the
years operations. Dredge mining also
made great progress, notably in the
Nome region. Mr. Brooks information
is that, in the entire Territory, %
dredges were operated for the whole
or part of the open season of 1911
In addition to those operated, at least

The Daily Chieftajn: Responding
to your invitation for suggestions as
to what would be good for Oklahoma
in 1912, | will write this short letter.
Everyone must know that our new
state has made some mistakes but it
lis foolish to denounce those response
BILE for our troubles and not offer some
remedy. The surgeon that insists on
using the knife without first diagnos-
ing the case is running a great risk.
To cut into man just to see what is
inside is unsafe to say the least High
taxes is the chief topic of discussion
all over the country. Some blame the
local equalization boards while others
lev the whole blame upon the state
board. Why not share the response
bility and let everybody endeayor to
get down to something we can stand.
With the new year will begin the as
sessI1ent of property all over the
state. Let us show little business
sense and try to get the proper adjust
ment to start with and then follow 1t
Iup to the state board and insist upon
fair treatment there. This is only one
item of our troubles but perhaps the
most serious one. R. R. NO. 3.

Need Of a PhOsphate Law.

The present uncertainty whether
the phosphate rock of the public land
should be entered upder the lode law
or under the placer law is conclusive
evidence of the need of legislation. AS
a matter of fact neither of these laws
is more applicable to the acquisition of
beds of phosphate-bearing limestone
than it would be to that of coal beds.
The realization that the phosphate de-
posits are more extensive than was
known or suspected when the survey
geologists began land classification
work in Idaho and Wyoming does not
lessen but rather increases the urgency
for a leasing law which will provide
for the utilization of this large supply
of mineral fertilizer, so as to meet
both present and future needs.-Thir-

EX-GOV. HASKELL IN
CLARK BANOWAGON

Muskogee, Okla, Dec. 29.-Many
commented upon the fact that at the
meeting of the followers of Champ
Clark last night leading democratic
politicians and bosses were conspicu-
ously absent. One man was placed
upon the rolls last night, however,
that may mean much in political cir
cles. c. N. Haskell, candidate for the
United States senate, seeking the
polished shoes of Robert L. Owen, last
night became member of the Champ
Clark club. Ever original and novel
in his methods, Mr.. Haskell joined the
club by proxy. City Commissioner J..
B. Kennedy arose and proving his au-
thority, that ne held the proxy of the
former governor, asked that Mr.. Has
kells name be fully inscribed upon
the rolls of the club. 1t was done.
Politically the situation caused a
distinct sensation. Senator Owen in
an interview published in the Phoenix
sometime ago declared that Champ
Clark was his preference. Governor
Haskell remained reticent and poll
ticians sagely wagged their heads and
said that Haskell was giving Owen
senough rope to hang himself" II
was not thought that Haskell would
express his preference until it was alb
solutely forced upon him. His action
last night, in making the same choice
Owen had already made, can, however
leave no doubt that he has cast the
| die.

COMMISSION ACTS
UNAUTHORIZED.
Plaintiff Wanted Damages For IN
authorized Taking of Oil
From Land.

Muskogee. Okla, Dec. 20. - Judge
Ralph f. Campbell, of the United
States district court held yesterday in
an important opinion which he handed
down in the case Of Oracle Hawkins
and others. against the Oklahoma Oil
company and others that the Dawes
commission had no right to divide and
set aside the property of deceased In
dians designating one part as a home
stead and the other as surplus.
The question involved was whether
the Dawes commission had the author
ity to set apart homestead tract out
of each allotment in the Creek nation
made to heirs of deceased member
dying before selection had been
made. The opinion holds that the
Dawes commission has not this power.
The suit was brought by the guar
dian of a minor for the recovery of
damages from the defendants for the
Ialleged unauthorized taking of Oil from
Ia certain tract of land in which the
minor claimed an interest. The case
was tried sometime ago without jury,
and pursuant TO rulings made at the
trial the only question left for consid-
Grafton was whether or not the heirs
of one Elijah Corbray, deceased. in
whose name the land was originally
selected, he having died in May, 1909,
intestate, and before selection, had
capacity after April 81, 1904, to alien
ate that part of the allotment set apart,
allotted, and patented to his heirs as
a homestead.

struction.
Need For More Railways.
AT the close Of 1911 there are 465
miles of railway in the Territory, com
pared with 37l miles in 1910. This
mileage is distributed between nine
different railways from to 1876 miles
in length. The existing railways en-
phasize the need of additional trans
portation facilities. The most urgent
need is for railway to connect an
open port on the Pacific with the Yu-
kon basin. Until such a line is built
only the richest placevs of the interior
and only the most favorably located
lodes can be profitably exploited

SURVEY
PRESS BULLETIN
Large Output of Gold and Copper, Ac-
cording to Estimates of the United
States Geological Survey-other Re-
sources Show Increased Production
Completion of Copper River Rail-
road.

Alaska is on the up trend. Judged
by the large advance in her mineral
production in 1911, as estimated by
Alfred H. Brooks, of the United States
Geological Survey, over the output for
1910, mining activities in the Terri
tory during the last year have active
ly increased. This improvement is ap-
parent Notwithstanding the continued
tie-up of all Alaskan Goals, the develop
ment of which would, it is believed,
give greatly added impetus to the
Territorys various industries. The
fuel demand is being partially met,
however, by the use of fuel oil.
The value of Alaska's mineral pro-
duction for 1911, is estimated at $20,
10000. OF this amount SIT, 100000 is
ito be credited to gold production,
against s16,12S,749 Tor 1910. Mr..
Brooks further estimates that the
Alaska mines produced 22,900,000
pounds of copper in 1911, or more than
five times the Alaska copper output of
1910, which was 4,241,6S9 pounds. In
addition to gold and copper, Alaska
mines and quarries in 1911 produced
silver, tin, coal, marble, and gypsum
to an estimated value of $390,00O, an
increase of over 100000 as compared
with the value Of the same products
in 1910

Mineral Output over Two HUI
Million Dollars.

The total value of Aiaska's mineral
production since mining first began in
1880 is, in round numbers, $206,000,00O
or more than twenty rhine times the
sum paid to Russia for the Territory.
OF this amount $195, 900 represents
the total value of the gold production.
Alaska produced its first copper some
ten years ago, since which time the
Territory has contributed 56,7O0000
pounds Of this metal, valued at $S,170
900. About 40 per cent of this total
amount was prouuced in 1911.
The favorable showing made by the
Alaska mining industry during the
year is due, first, to the very large
output of copper and, second, to the
greater production, compared with
1910, of the gold placer mines in the
Innoko-Iditarod region.
New Railroad Stimulates Industry.
Aside from the increased production,
the most important event of the year
was the opening of the Copper River
region by the completion of the rail-
way into it. The industries already
stimulated by this line strikingly illus
trate the Importance of railway com
munication to Alaska AS no progress
was made in the opening of the coal
fields. the needs for cheap fuel in
, Alaska are being met by the suDstitu-
tion of oil-burning for coal-burning
engines. The importation O Califor-
MIA crude oil is rapidly incre sing, with
la corresponding decrease II the use
Of coal. Some new drilliue was car
ried on in the Katalla oil ED during
I1911, one or two old wells being re-
opened and small production made.

REFUSE TO ADOPT
RESOLUTIONS
Convention sidesteps Action on Edu-
cationa Board And Akin Bill
Eliminating Schools.

Oklahoma City, Dec. 2S.-The de-
feat of the Wilson-Glenn faction of the
State Teachers Association in the
election OF officers may have the ef-
feet of precluding any resolutions in
dorsing the state board of education
on condemning the Akin bill, which
proposes to abolish fourteen state edu-
cational institutions. The general
sentiment among the teachers last
night seems to be that the introduc-
ton Of resolutions. either condemning
or indorsil : the board of education or
taking any stand on the Akin bill,
would be unwise, for it would precipi-
tate bitter political fight on the floor
of the convention. officers were elect
ed by delegation convention, subject
to ratification by the association, which
procedure, it is understood, will be
mere formality.

forces were given the resolutions com
mittee by the insurgents. Two out Of
the three members of the executive
committee were landed by the anti
Glenn element of the association. The
new president of the association is
said to be a supporter of former State
Superintendent E. d. Cameron, who
was defeated by State Superintendent
Wilson for that Office in the last cleo
tion.
New officers.
The new officers of the association
are w. E. Gill of Pawhuska, county
superintendent of Usage county pres
ident; Miss Ella Davis of Ardmore,
vice president; w. w. Cunningham of
Shawnee, secretary-treasurer. Mem
bers of the executive committee, Prof.
McCabe of iKngfsher, 7. B. Rybolt Of
Lawton and County Superintendent p.
G.. Rawdon of Lincoln county. Super
intendent e. s. Monroe the board OF
education, candidate for president,
after his defeat was made chairman OF
the resolutions committee.
1t is said that Monroe does not favor
resolution indorsing the board, CON
sidering that it would be unwise to
precipitate fight.
Akin Exhorts Teachers.
o. H. Akin, author of the initiated
bill to abolish a number of state edu
cational institutions, has opened head
quarters at one of the leading hotels
and it is understood is advising teach
ers not to introduce a resolution con
demning his measure, stating that il
will precipitate fight on the board OF
education. The strongest sentiment
among the teachers is for the adoption
of a resolution asking Governor
Cruce for some expression of his find
ings in the recent executive inYestiga
ton of the state board of education. II
is a question whether the element that
desires harmony will be able to pre-
vent the introduction Of such resolu
ton. Some of the more radical desire
the adoption of a resolution condemn
ing the state board of education, but
the complicated situation as to the
Akin bill may prevent them from pre-
senting such resolution.
Addresses were delivered at the au
ditorium yesterday afternoon before
the association by DR.. Henry S. Curtis
of Worcester, Mass, on the play
grounds movement and by Walter Wi
liams, dean of the Missouri school O.
