Of his address the commissioner asked
the Indians to quit painting their faces

The petroleum industry, which has
made such great advances during the
last fifty years, deals with a product
which has been known in other lands
from earliest days. In China 1t was
used long before history was first writ

near Baku, on the western shore Of the
Caspian sea, have been known from
the earliest times. Antiquarians say
that Rliny and Herodotus each knew
or had heard Of petroleum.-New York

ATTORNEY General
TO Pass ON BONDS

FCETS IMPROVEMENTS.

The long waited for supreme court
decision in the Tulsa municipal BOND
case. was handed down. The gist or
the decision was that Attorney Cen
eral West must either approve or dis
approve the legality of the issue. The
attorney general has passed on NUM-
cipal bond issues heretofore, but re-
Gently he claimed to have discovered
a statute that did not require him To
do so. a friendly mandamus suit was
then filed against him by the city Of
ficials, in the supreme court. Iester-
days decision will bring the sale OF
the bonds to a speedy termination, for
II is not thought likely that the attor-
ney general will rule adversely on the
bonds, which have already been pass
ed upon fayorably by the bond buying
companies, and their expert attorneys
The issue covers $2S4,OOO worth OF
improvements and much of the
money is badly needed at present, no.
tably in the sewer department. AZ
soon as the attorney general signs The
bonds, the first payment will be made
by the bond buying firm.
The bonds were sold at par, witt

TO THE WOMEN OF TULSA.

be so, yet | would advise every
woman who expects to vote In
the spring election for the
candidates on the school board
and the. school bond issue, TO
register in your respective pre-
cincts, thereby eliminating any
future embarrassment by having
your vote changed. 1t is very
J little troule to drive or walk

y tion and register so ! urge
