Ferris Seeking Indian Hospital.

Washington. d. c., Jan. 5.-Repre-

realizing that something must be done
Immediately to relieve sickness and
disease among the Kiowas and Conan
ches, will introduce a bill providing
for the construction of a hospital for
the Indians. In this Mr.. Ferris Will
have the backing of the Indian Office
in Washington.
At the last session of congress Mr.
Ferris introduced a measure known as
the Stecker bill which was passed by
the house, providing for the sale OF
unallotted lands, the proceeds OF
which were to be turned to the hos
pital fund. When the measure went
to the senate it was amended in sucf
way that the money could not be
used for the purpose intended. The
sale of the lands, however, was helt
up by the Indian Office at Mr. Ferris
request until the proper Legislation
should be passed by congress.

FINANCIAL SITUATION
THE TIDE WILL TURN

New York, Jan. Sit is estimated
that the January disbursements will
total $220,0O0,0OO With this vast sum
about to be distributed it is natural
to ask what disposition will be made
of it. Wall street is looking with hun
CRY eyes for lions share of this big
apportionment, but that financial cen
ter may not get all that it hopes for
There are two factors which justify
this prediction: The increased cost
of living and the increasing extrava-
gance of the American people. 1t is not
necessary here to designate the divid-
ing line between these two factors.
They exist and they affect savings
Since all new capital comes from the
peoples savings it follows that there
will be less available during the COM
! ing months if present conditions pre-
vail. The rise in living cost has been
accompanied in a measure by increas-
ed wages so that the individuals saw
ing funds are only partially cut down.
People who have money to invest will
demand higher rates than formerly
and capitalists will have to offer high
er rates Thus it would seem that ulti-
mately capital will experience a raise
in it's wages" also.
Stringency Only Temporary.
Stringency is bound to be felt dur
ing the first few weeks of January in
cident to the disbursement of dividends
but financiers believe that this will not
continue long. The conditions of steel
and copper. as rejecting general inn
Iprovement have already been noted
lin this column. The fact of the mat
ter is the railroads and other corpora
tions have been holding off from max
ling improvements so long that they
will soon be forced to make added ex-
Ipenditures unless rates are absolutely
prohibitive. In case there is any let
lup in present conditions it is certain
that the market will be full of bond
tissues of considerable attractiyeness.
1t is safe to predict that several issues
will be made even if no Improvement
lis manifest. The railroads have come
to the point where their terminal facil-
tiles in many growing cities must be
Improved; manufacturing concerns
must have larger plants.
Prices remain high and many firms
are still hesitating to branch out, but
lit would seem that the tide has turned
The east has not felt this change as
much as the middle west. The south
has suffered from poor crops, with the
exception of the cotton crop, which
was so large that word has gone
abroad that the market was glutted
THE government reports and reports
from private sources show that the cot
ton raisers have eralized we'll on their
product., The retail holiday trade was

sign that the peoples pursestrings arr

History of Fight.
More than year ago the election
to determine whether Grove or Jay
should be the county seat was held
and Jay received majority of the
votes. Grove protested, and the case
went to the supreme court
On information, which led him to be-
lieye that a mandate had been handed
down by the court and that Jay was
legally the county seat, Governor
Cruce, on December 5, issued procla-
nation to that effect.
re learned later, however, that the
mandate had not been handed down.
Consequently, he issued a second proc
lamation, Thursday, declaring the first
proclamation void and locating the
county seat on the old townsite at Jay.
AS stated, after the result of tho
vote was known, w. J. Creekmore and
others plated an additional 240 acres
and incorporated it with the old town
site of Jay. The courthouse was built
on the new addition.
A hearing on the question of whether
the courthouse should be located on
the old townsite or the new was held
before the governor Tuesday. At that
time he stated to the attorneys in the
case that his proclamation would cal
for the location of the courthouse on
the old townsite, since in the petition
for the election it had been located by
metes and bounds.
He announced that he would issue
his proclamation to that effect Thurs
day morning and directed that no fur
ther action be taken until that time
The county commissioners, however

Fairbaum and Jesse Johnson, all of
whom are interested in the Creekmore

They set up in their application that
the county commissioners already
have leased the building in new Jay
for a term of five years, acting on the
former proclamation by the governor
They give, as reason for taking
the case to the supreme court, that Dis
