DOUGLAS OPPOSES SCHEME.

or Chicago Mail Order House Aiding
Farmers-Warns Commercial Clubs.
What the local retailers and job
bers hope will end in open warfare
between them and the mail order
houses was started yesterday when
Colonel Clarence b. Douglas of the
Muskogee Commercial Club sent the
following letter to the members OF
the State Association of Commercial
Secretaries, of which association he Is
president:
Il wish you would write letter
to the state board Of agriculture pro-
testing against the proposition Of
Sears & Roebuck to exploit their bus
mess through the Oklahoma State
Board OF Agriculture at the expense OF
the legitimate merchants and taxpay-
ers of the state.
Their proposition to maintain
demonstration farms in each county
means simply that in each county this
firm will have an Oklahoma man in
terested in sending Oklahoma bust
ess to Chicago, and the scheme should
not be permitted to be carried out
without vicious protests"
This only means" said Mr.. Doug
las, that the representative in each
county will live fat on the tribute he
can take from the farmers, and other
cash paying customers of the legiti
mate merchants of our cities.
"These houses will send men here
under the cloak of Agricultural dem
onstratOrs' whose sole duty viii pc TO
get in touch with the needs of the
farmer and then touch him A fight
should be made upon it and the state
board of agriculture should not be
placed in position where it will seem
to be fostering such a scheme. -

'B. Cortelyou had told the campaign
contribution investigating committee
of the senate today that a total Of
s1,900,000 was raised in 1904 for The

one wealthy man who had come to
headquarters, offered to contribute
between $4,000 and $4,000 and then
remarked that he hoped to be con-
sidered some time for a diplomatic
post.
Mr. Cortelyou declared the contri-
button was not accepted.
He declared he never had heard of
a contribution from the beef trust
and asserted the tobacco trust did
not contribute because he had issued
orders that no money was to be re-
ceived either from tobacco combina-

THIRD PARTY PEOPLE.
Want Another Interpretation Of the
Election Law.

eleCtIOn Law.
Bartlesville, Okla, July 13.-Attor
neys representing the Oklahoma
third party movement announced
from headquarters here yesterday
their intention to petition the supreme
court today for writ of mandamus
compelling the state election board
to so interpret the election law that
full quota of republican electors
may be named should the republi-
cans be victorious in the August state
wide primaries.
A petition drawn up will be filed
with the supreme court today by a
ty conference Wednesday consisting
of James A. Veasey. this city; Orville
Johnson, Oklahoma City: a. A. David
son, Muskogee, and James G. Bliss,
Atoka.
Mr.. Veasey made this statement:
"The state election board takes the
position that there are only five cleo
tors at large in Oklahoma. and that
the other five electors must be nom
mated from five congressional dis
tricts. Democratic electors have
filed petitions with the election board
in conformity with this ruling but of
thirteen republican electors who have
filed with the state board. eleven
have simply filed as electors for the
state of Oklahoma at large. Two Of
that number filed from congressional
districts-one from the Fourth and
one from the Third district.
"The result of the ruling Of the
board will be that it will place on
the ballot for the November election
the five republican electors out OF
eleven at large who receive the high
est vote. and will also place on the
ballot the two electors from the
Fourth and Third congressional dis
tricts, limiting the entire electoral
college representatives OF the repub-
lican party from this state to seven
instead OF ten. Attorneys represent
ing the third party movement in Ok
lahoma mandamus the state election
board to submit the entire list OF thir.
teen names OF republican electors to
be voted at the primaries at large"

IMMENSE GAS WELL.
Arouses Industrial Interests at Sapul-

Sapulpa, Okla, July 13.-One OF
the largest gas wells ever drilled
was brought in today by local COM
pany, eight miles southeast of Sa-
pulpa. The government guage shows
a trifle over thirty million cubic feet
per day with a rock pressure of 7SO
pounds to the square inch. This is
the third gas well drilled in the
new field. Representatives from lola,
Kansas, and Bartlesville are here
trying to arrange for smelter loca-
tions.
The discovery of the new gas sand,
entirely free from oil or water, at
a depth of nearly 1000 feet, is be-
lieved by experts to mark new
era in the Oklahoma fuel situation.
This field is said to be of greater
extent than the famous Hog Shoot

gist said to day that the we'll just
brought in would probably supply
25,000.000 cubic feet of gas FOR twen-

Of either corn and hay or oats and
hay. no bran. green feed or ground
stuff
Now a young colt. whether a
yearIing or 2-year-old. will not do
80 well on a whole grain and hay
ration for FIVE months.
These youngsters have probably
been on succulent pastures all the
ring and summer and fall, and
when they are up and fed this
dry ration exclusively they miss
their grain. Bran is a very good
substitute and a scslded mash or
bran with oats, scalded, added, is
fine thing to give once a week
and at night.
This mash will keep the colts in
good condition and will keep their
bowels moving.
Sod fields. rye, wheat, oats or
vetch, all make good winter graz
ing when the weather conditions
permit.
One busheI OF bran to four of
oats or corn will be about the right
proportion for colts. in fact for
horses of all ages.
Keep plenty of salt convenient,
but not in the grain box in the
manger. for many horses and colts
dislike their salt mixed with their
grain.
A lump Of rock salt is all right
