that count but diamonds enter into
the game quite often. In strife we
use clubs and we come to die then

over an area of II miles long and
l. miles wide. The ore Is taken from

are large fissures in the earth. There
are now fifty shafts being sunk. One
hundred and fifty tests made by A. NJ.

noted mining engineers of the west,
shows that there is gold. silver and

This year of grace 1911 promises
TO be one of the wonder in the world
of aviation. Even in the winter, aero
plane records of last summer were
eXcelled and there were many new
developments of construction which
may produce amazing flights this
summer that were not dreamed of
even one year ago. The sensation
of fear is being dissipated among
all who yearn to fly. People in
larger number are seeking opporhini-
ty for flight. Two passengers, and
they women quite often. are being
taken up where only one or none
dared before, and now the ascent
of two or three aside from the driver
is so frequent that no more than
mere mention is made of it.
Mars has been flying at the car
nival of Manila in the Philippines.
China and Japan have had aviation
exhibitions and the governments of
those countries are arranging for
aeroplanes for army use. Great Brit
ain has appointed a corps of army
men for flying and has established
military training school in which
students will take an arduous course
of six months. BY the time of the
coronation of King George and Queen
Mary in June seven dirigib'es and
five aeroplanes will be ready for
flights and will be manipulated by
army men. Distinguished officers have
been selected for the superintendent
of all this work in the air, and thus
the construction of an atmospheric
navy will vie with the building of
dreadnoughts for the high seas.

The state election board. under the

the representative party organizations
OF the county. So far as the selection
OF these two members in each county
IS concerned the state election board
is not informed as to whether any par

the state are being favored, but the
positive statement is made by secre-
tary Riley of the board that in tSe Sc
lection of secretaries no particular
candidate is being favored Out of the
seyenty-seven county secretaries in
Oklahoma only about thirty of the old
county secretaries have been retained
by the present board. Even a smaller
percentage of the other members of
the old boards are being retained by
the county political organizations.
