damertally wrong in politics, because
a statesman is supposed to be and
should be selected and elected by
people for his fitness to office and
should not be given Office as reward
for some real or fancied services.
A little group of New England
states have for the past fifty years
practically dominated the policies Of
the whole United States, and for
what reason? Certainly not because
they have any monopoly of brains,
nor is it tc be supposed that their
soil alone produces great statesmen
and orators out simply from the real
fact that they recognize ability In a
public servant and keep him there in

Financial Plans Completed For 75-MiIe
Extension of BartIesville
Trolley.

Bartlesville, Okla, March 2,-on
top Of the announcement made this
week that the Bartlesville Interurban
company would extend its line from
Dewey to Caney, Kans, a distance of
fifteen miles, there to connect with the
Southern Kansas interurban lines for
.Coffeyville, independence and Parsons,
came the report from authoritative
sources today that an interurban line
will be constructed from Bartlesville
to Vinita, distance of rs miles, at a
cost for construction and equipment
of $2,250,0O0 1t is declared that ar
rangements have been perfected for
financing the project and that work
will be started in the immediate fu-
ture.
The route will follow the survey
made two years ago for an east and
west railroad by Bartlesville capitalists
The local men expressed willingness
to relinquish their interest in the pro-
ject when eastern capitalists under
took to promote the railroad. The
railroad proposition has been allowed
to drag, but in the meantime the de-
tails have been arranged for building
an interurban line and these plans will
be carried out as soon as assurance
is received that the railroad project
abs been abandoned.
Added to these two interurban pro-
jects the city commissioners have
awarded contracts for $250,0O0 worth
of paving, two of the smelters have
announced an immediate increase of
two hundred in the number of their
employees and on April the taxpayers

HIS MIND BLANK
FOR SIX MONTHS
Strange Affair of Muskoeee Contractor
Who Disappeared suddenly--Hs
Mind Blank Six Months.

Muskogee Okla, March 2.-fIis
mind blank for six months, the mem
ory OF his wife and three children com
pletely effaced, his business, home
friends and associations all forgotten
since August 26, 1911, until he awak
ened while sitting on the dock in New
Orleans among strangers a few days
ago, is the remarkable story of Viii
liam ID. Case, Muskogee contractor
who, penniless, and with torn clothes
knocked at the door of his home today
and embraced his wife and children
One night last August Case, kissed
his wife good bye leaving his home
to bank some money
He mysteriously disappeared and
has been thought dead by all except
his wife, who prayed for his return
Half a dozen lodges of which he is a
member advertised all over the coun,
try for the missing man with no re-
suits. Case today declared that he had
no recollection of anything since last
August until he found himself" at
New Orleans.
He completely lost his identity. He
remembers coming TO town in Mus
kogee and then his mind became a
blank. Shortly after Cases disappear
anee his bank book and lot of pa
pers We're found in box car between
here and Tulsa. The case is one Of
the most mysterious in the annals of
Muskogee, as there was no reason
why he should have wilfully deserted
his family. There is a slight scar ON
his head which leads to the belief that
he was strucy down and robbed, and
the blow possibly destroyed his mems
ory for the time.

He subscribed for stock in the Mus
kogee Industrial Development com
pany, the Muskogee Fair association,
and many other public enterprises.
He built the Colorado and Kentucky
buildings, and the Muskogee ware
houses. and many residences. He is
now engaged in the construction of
important improvements On West Ok
mulgee ave- Bue and also on East Broad
way. His improvements have been
distributed on both the east and west
sides of the city.
He has been a resident of Musko-
gee for twenty-seven years, having
built his home among the first houses
built in Muskogee.
His people settled the Indian Terri
tory and his mother was born in a log
cabin near Webbers Falls in 1881.
His reputation, commercially and
financially, cannot be questioned in
Muskogee, and no man in Muskogee
can recall an instance of an immoral,
unjust or indecent act on his part.
Attention is called to these things
because lthey seem to have been for
gotten through Mr. Owens silence. 1t
is well for the citizens of Muskogee
to recall these services rendered by
this faithful citizen. His distinguish
ed services in the senate have done
great honor to Muskogee and have
made Muskogee known throughout the
United States as the home of this man.

HENRY E|FFERT
DEAD AT Fl. GIBSON

4 life of business adventures all oi
which had proven failures, last of al
in his declining days to be charged
with the shortage of seven thousand
dollars from the estate of minor In
dian of whom he had been appointed
guardian brought to Henry Eiffert OF
Fort Gibson death from a broken
heart.
The finger of death which touched
Eiffert, a gray haired man of almost
seventy years. as he slept brought to
a close life on which more shame
might have come had it held back a
week, a day or even few hours
longer.
Until several months ago Henry
Eiffert, a Cherokee Indian, was the
guardian of the estate of one Frank
McDade. At that time after he had
allowed the matter of the estate to
become tangled he was called upon by
Judge Leahy for a complete report Of
the condition of the minors estate.
This Eiffert failed to give and the
guardianship was taken away from
him, and placed with another Judge
Leahy then called upon Eifert to
come before him and give an account
of the sum of seven thousand, nintey-
two dollars which was supposed to
cover the storage of the accounts of
the guardian.
Not being able to make this show
ing Judge Leahy placed him under a
bond of six thousand dollars, secured
by the Southern Surety company and
was given ninety days in which to
make final report and replace the
money to the account of Frank Nc
Dade. That ninety days was up yes
terday and it was on that day that he
was to appear and make his report.
Not long since Eiffert figured in the
Peach Basket Case" which attracted
much attention at the time. George
k. Powell. local attorney, appearing
for the father of Frank McDade con-
tended that the guardian appointed by
Judge Leahy was a close friend of
Eiffert an dthat the appointment of
the1C succeeding guardian had been
made that Eiffert might be given more
time in which to straighten up his ac-
counts
Powell tried 10 show that Judge
Leahy was not the proper one to sit
for the SAGE as he had at one time ac-
cepted basket of peaches from Elf.

NATIONAL DRAINAGE
CONGRESS TO MEET

New Orleans, March 2.-The Ma
tional Drainage Congress, which as
semble in New Orleans April 10 for a
four day session, will take up the
questions of drainage of wet and over
flow lands, river regulation and flood
prevention, the development of inland
waterway navigation and channel i'm
provement, the utilization of levees for
the construction of good roads, in
creased food protection and decreased
cost of living, the creation of new
forms and new markets.
The New Orleans Board of Control
of the National Drainage Congress
has planned to draw 10000 delegates
to New Orleans for this congress in
order that sufficient nation wide force
may be generated to influence the fed
eral congress to prompt action in en-
acting legislation that will pave the
way for the prevention of foods and
the drainage of the 75,000,000 acres of
wet and overflow lands in the country.
The call for the congress is going
to $4,000 governors, mayors, civic and
commercial organizations, congress-
men and senators and Others.
At New Orleans the delegates will
be given practical demonstration of
the ease with which modern machin-
cry can dig navigable drainage canals
and open up waste but highly fertile
lands to the plow and the homeseeker
New Orleans itself has been reclaim
ed by bitches, drainage canals and
electric pumps, and modern sky scrap
ers now stand where alligators and
crawfish once held forth. On the out
skirts of New Orleans there is now an
5000 acre reclaimed tract which is
being planted in variety of crops to
serve as an illustration of what the
farmer can do with artifically drained
alluvial lands. The delegates to the
National Drainage Congress will spend
half day on these lands.
