JAPANESE PREMIER
TELLS HIS STORY OF
MAGDALENA BAY LAND

[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS
WASHINGTON, April 6-What pur.
ports to be a full explanation of the
Japanese activity on the west coast
of Lower California, prepared by Pre-
mier Saionjim, has been issued by the
japanese embassy. 1t declares the re-
port originated from Mexican ces-
sion to Japanese fishing company on
the west coast for right as enjoyed
by American and Italian fishermen. 1t
denies any political significance.
So far as the japanese government
is concerned, there is no truth in the
report.
Says the explanation: The follow
ing facts have been ascertained: Re-
Gently agents of the Togo Taipi Mai
shaOri Steamship Company obtained
of their own accord from Mexico fish
ing rights on the west coast. Later
they transferred these to the Oriental
Whaling Company, which concluded
an agreement with che Mexican gov
ernment as tofhe length of time the
contract would run. The company
sent an agent with ten men, who are
now investigating the district. This
district extends from Topic to Oa-
xaca. 1t has no geographical connec-
tion with Magdalena bay. The term is
ten years. 1t is purely an industrial
enterprise.

ATTORNEY NOLAND SAYS
TIVE CITY PAYS ENOUGH

City Attorney holland, who has re-
signed that position. today explained
his reason for resigning the office. He
said he believes the salary of $50 paid
by the city is as much as the work
done is worth, but his practice has
grown to the point where he cannot
afford to neglect that to the degree
necessary to attend to city business.
He thinks the city ought not increase
the salary.
His resignation was as follows:
"To the Honorable Board Of Trustees
of the City of Ell Centro.
Gentlemen:
owing to the constantly increas-
ing demands upon my time and en-
ergy through my private practice,
find it impossible for me to continue
in the office of city attorney, and |
hereby tender my resignation to take
effect Immediately.
Thanking the board as body and
individually for the harmonious rela-
tions that have existed between us
during my term of office, and assuring
you of my support and what aid |
can render for the city's welfare as
a private citizen, l am, very respect
fully, DAN V. NOLAND.'

The music of Haroldi, the noted Pol
ish violinist who is to be heard in
concert at the Opera House Monday
night, appeals to all classes. An inter
esting instance of this truth was given
at a concert which the brillian virtu
oso played in San Francisco not long
ago. Among the hundreds in attend
ance upon the recital was an aged
Italian of the poorer class. Throughout
the program this man had sat in rapt
admiration and his intense interest haC
attracted the attention of those neal
him. At the close of the recital a lady
ventured to ask him if he had en-
ioyed the music. "Oh, yes, yes, Sc
nora, it was sublime" And which
number did you like the best?" asked
the lady "Oh, all of them; every one
fer they were all just beautiful Italian
songs" And so the music of Harold
appeals to different people in different
ways. While his program represent
the violin literature Of all nations he
interprets each selection with such
simplicity and beauty of tone that il
atunes itself to the fancy of his ev.
cry hearer. To some his numbers are
beautiful Italian songs to others
they are the lyrics of other nations OF
other days. The seats for the local re-
cital are on sale at Dunaway's.

CommoneI
oklahoma sets an example to pro

were active in their efforts to secure
the state but Oklahoma is progressive
aud the fight finally narrowed down
to Wilson and Clark, and their friends
had the good sense to agree upon a
division of the delegation half and
half This was an admirable settle
ment of the controversy and may we'll
serve as an example to other states.
The contest between progressiyes
SHOULD be an amicable one and it will
Very much strengthen our psrty's
chances after the convention if the
friends of Governor Wilson and
Speaker Clark can SO conduct their
campaign as to unite their forces in
states where the sentiment is evenly
divided
Some months ago Mr.. Bryan urged
the progressives TO get tog ther in
each state and support the progress
sives strongest in that state The Ok.

end No one but progressive can

horses. l personally know of the
remedy being given to thirty-three head
of horses last year 1t did not fail in a
single instance. Don't fail to try it.
You will be rewarded. The last horse
tried it on was my own. He was
blind and down and had been down
about one or two hours. In eight hours
after the first dose, and in one hour
after the second the horse was graz
ing. | have the greatest confidence in
the remedy The ingredients are: One
pint whiskey, two tablespoonfuls tur-
pentine, quarter of an ounce of quiniHe
Mix we'll The above is enough fol
two doses. Hardly ever have to givt
the second dose. Drench with hall
pint and with turpentine; rub the fore
head thoroughly. Be careful not t.
get it in the horses eyes. If the firsi
dorse don't relieve the horse in three
or four hours give the second dose
Who ever tries it write me the results.

COUNTY SPELLING
MACTH HELD
From Saturday. S DAILY

From Saturday Daily
The county spelling contest. which
has created no small stir among the
schools of the county, especially the
rural schools. was held in the Office OF
the county superintendent Friday after
noon, March Sth.
Some of the contestants were unable
to be present on account of the weath-
er, although there were eight brave
hearted enough to tackle the worst of
weather.
The contest was called at 1880
o'clock and after rules. and regulations
were decided upon, committee and
secretaries appointed and the contest
ants numbered and lined up, the spell
ing proper began.
Those entering the contest were
Mary Andrews, Charles Emmons, Susie
Essex, Lizzie Fluke, Helen Jones, Beu-
lah Mitchell, Sarah Rae and Howard
Tyler. At the close of the contest,
which was forty-fiye minutes, the mis-
spelled words were checked up to the
account of ehch contestant and it was
found that Miss Sarah Rae from rural
school about six miles south of Vinita,
had not misspelled a single wordt
therefore being entitled to fire prize
and receiving valuable gold medal,
and Miss Helen Jones and Howard
Tyler had tied, but as one of the
medals was to go to the winner OF the
rural schools of the county and the
other to the winner of the city schools
of the county, Miss Helen Jones of
Welch received the prize, valuable gold
medal.
Although not every one of the CON
testants received medal each de-
serves honorable mention and should
congratulate himself for having the op-
portunity of entering a county contest
and showing the winners such a hard
earned victory. We wish to congratu
late all of the contestants and hope
the prize winners will enter the state
contest and bring back another vic
torious gold medal to Craig county.
1t is interesting to know that these
very valuable medals were presented
by our county superintendent alone,
which shows that he has the cause OF
education at heart and is working in
earnest for the betterment of the
schools of Craig county.

v|N|TA HIGH SCHOOL
L0SESJ0|NT DEBATE

The debating teams of the Vinita
high school lost both debates last
evening to the Chelsea high school,
one being held here and one at Chelsea.
The team from the Claremore state
school were expected to debate here
last evening and make it a triangular
instead of joint debate, but they with
drew from the contest and Chelsea's
negative team came in their stead
The question debated was, Resolved
that A high protective tariff is no
longer justifiable And the debate was
opened by Roy Brady of Vinita, first
speaker for the affirmative, and, while
his talk was neither fiowery nor ora
torical, he gave some good points and
expanded them in manner that show
ed much study and previous work, and
that he knew what he was talking
about.
He was followed by Mr. Judd of
Chelsea who at once commanded atten-
tion from the audience by his oratory
and easy freedom of speech he being
the only speaker of the evening who
did not use notes
The main points in his speech dealt
with woolen and cotton manufactures
and with immigration of foreigners to
this country. His speech was fiowery
and eloquent and was the most inter-
esting talk of the evening.
The next speaker was Thomas Nc
Laughlin for Vinita and as his col
legue, Mr. Brady, he stuck to plain
cold facts and indulged in no fiowery
flights.
We will not go into the details of
his debate but it is enough to say that
his points and authority were without
question the best produced.
The second speaker for the negative
was Ray Upp, of Chelsea, whose points
were good but he was forced to use
his notes more than the other orators.
The debate was closed with five
minute rebuttal by Mr.. McLauglin
The debate last night was the first
annual debate for the high schools in
eastern oklahoma and this being the
first time for Vinita, while their op-
ponents have had more experience;
they did remarkably well.
The judges gave the decision to the
visitors after thirty minute discus
sion and weighing of points and while
the decision did not appear to the
audience and more especially to the
local students, just as fair as it might
it was greeted by half-hearted cheer
from the students of v H. S.
The time during which the judges
were out was taken up by the boys
glee club, who entertained the audi
ence with few selections.
The singing of the high school male
quartette was especially good and the
work of Lowry Leforce (better known
as Fatty Leforce) and Jewel Scott in
the Muffin Man." almost threw the
audience into commissions, it was so
funny.
The negative team that went to
Chelsea also lost their debate after
close contest and conference of the
judges.
The debate last evening, taking it
all in all, went to prove that Vinita
high will soon be leading in literary
and braing work, as they have and will
continue to lead in all forms of ath-
to+i
