A GOOD RECORD.

Benjamin F. Harrison, Secre-
tary of State, and the members
of his Office force, are to-day the
proudest people connected with
the State Administration, having
accomplished in a little more
than year, what seemed to
them an almost superhuman
task.
When Mr.. Harrison assumed
charge Of the Secretary of States S
office January 8, 1911, the rec
ords of the Office were in a hope
lessly mixed condition incident to
the moving Of the State Capital
and the lack of office room.
There had been filed during the
first administration 7160 Corpor-
alton instruments, of which only
1444 had been recorded. In ad-
dition to this mass of work there
were also inherited a great many
Public Service, Executive and
Miscellaneous instruments still
to be recorded.
The Corporation instruments
have now reached the number of
TO-, ,264, Of which 1920, approx
mately 22,200 pages, have been
recorded during the short time
of this administration, besides
about 5000 pages of Miscellan-
eous instruments, which is double
the amount of Miscellaneous
matter recorded during the whole
of the first administration.
The work has now been
brought entirely up to date: and
the State Records are in such or
der that any informatitn apper-
tanning to them can be given
without delay.

INDIAN APPROPRIATION
BILL.

A hard fight is on in respect to
the Indian Appropriation Bill.
The Oklahoma delegation is try
ing to adopt a policy that will
wind up Indian Affairs in Okla
homa and permit the Depart
ment Of Interior finally to with
draw from the state: The De-
partment insists, however. upon
a policy that will continue a large
number of employees and delay
the day Of final settlement. The
Senate Indian Committee is in
clined to decide with the Depart
ment, butsthe Oklahoma delega-
ton is still confident Of a large
measure Of success.

Mixed Ideas.

In addressing a Texas audience
Senstor Bailey entered several
objections to Woodrow Wilson as
a Democratic candidate. One
was Wilson's advocacy of free
raw materials. AS a member of
the historical free-trade party
the senator is getting out of
alignment himself. But it NAV
be that he is not disposed to take
Democratic planks seriouslv.----

TIMBER LANDS A N D
LUMBER TRUSTS.

The Department Of the Inter
ior has advertised for bids on the
timber lands belonging to the
Chickasaws and Choctaws in
Southeastern Oklahoma, to be
opened May 1st. The lands are
offered in large tracts, the small
est being appraised at $28, 900
and the largest in excess of
100000. Fearing that these
lands might pass into the hands
of lumber trust Congressman
Carter and Senator Gore have
introduced bills in Congress re
quiring the Secretary of the In
terror to offer these lands in
smaller tracts not to exceed GAO
acres and permits any farmer to
have any particular quarter sec
tion offered for sale separately
upon filing a written statement
that he desires. to purchase such
quarter for agricultural purposes.
This would help the farmers and
prevent a trust.

Oklahoma is more and more every day prov
ing itself to be the coming state. 1t is imposs!
bic for man to buy land in any part of Okla
homa and loose mnney. Even the choice local
tiles that look expensive today at prices deman-
ded for them, will be worth double the money
within few short years The climate is unex-
celed. There is every variety of soil known to
man. Thrifty outsiders are focking into our
state in incredible numbers. Our native Okla
homan are sitting quietly down on the shady
side of the house, smoking his pipe and declar-
lands are too high, - while the follow from the
worn out states and other crowded places are
helping themselves to fat bargains. In a few
years some of these men will be trying to hire
some dusky negro to kick them off of the earth
for being too short sighted to get in the game.

The real estate transfers. as published in
Oklahoma these days. make reading matter
to the business men, and should be considered
by all classes of people. According to figures
given in most of them, land values are increas-
ing all the time An investigation of the buy
ers of land in many localities also developes the
fact that many people from the north and east
are coming into Oklahoma and buying farm
lands. The $100 per acre in the best parts Of
Oklahoma is near at hand, and every man who
can do so should buy home while he can.

HANDED
A BAD BARGAIN

It was mighty bad bargain that
fell to the lot of William Muller, who
the other day was induced to purchase
a collection of clothing easily valued
at $500 for paltry 500.
In addition to losing the rainment
through due process OF law, Muller
has been mulcted to the tune of $4,000
and besides all this win have to re-
main at Hotel Asch for twenty-four
hours, there to mediate on the snares
and pitfalls laid for the unwary bar
gain hunter 4.
Muller was charged and convicted
at District Court this morning of re-
ceiving stolen property. The clothing
that he secured at such ruinous prices
appears to have been purloined from
a Chinese tailor. According to the
story told the police the clothes were
removed from the tailor shop by a
small youngster who is now doing
time at the Territorial reform school.
The lad approached Muller and final
~ persuaded him to give four dollars
for the new outfit. Later, Muller was
pointed out by the Chinese as wear
ing the apparel that came from their
establishment and for which no com
pensation had been received.

All householders are advised to
