OIL LEASES
ARE OISAPPROVED
Application Was Made to Interior De.
partment for 100000 Acres by
Uncle Sam Company.

Washington, June 1S-Acting Sec
retary of the Interior Adams today
disapproyed the application of the I'm
Gle Sam Oil company, Henry j O'Con-
nell, Wesley NJ Dial and John L. Bird
each for lease of 100000 acres. max
ing an aggregate of 400,00e> acres of
the Unbiased portion of the Usage oil
and gas lands in oklahoma. The
leases are disapproved on the ground
that the department can not accept
the written consent" prohibition in
them and because the leases make no
provision for damages, except in cases
growing out of drilling and prospect
ing. This provision, the department
thinks, would be ineffective.
Assistant Secretary Adams points
out that the interstate commerce com
mission has just decided that the
Uncle Sam Oil company is common
carrier and as such has been ordered
to file its rate schedule by December
/, also that this company be barred
because the department has decided
to approve no leases in the Mid-Con
tinent field with pipe line companies
which are common carriers Another
fact against leases was that the Uncle
Sam company offered 81 bonus pei
acre, while the other three companies
offered nothing.
IF 100000 acres of Usage territory
are worth 81 bonus an acre, why
should not the council secure an equa
bonus for the remaining 100000
acres?" writes Adams to Chief A. II
Brown. The department is preparing
regulations to govern oil leases in the
Unbiased part of the Usage nation ant
will issue them soon

FRED BRANSON
To SECOND
CLARK NOMINATION
Clark Says There Will Be No I'm
seemly Scramble at the BaIti-
more Convention.

Muskogee, Okla, June 20.-The con-
vention to be held in Baltimore next
week will be disslmilar In great
many respects to the circus now be
ing put ON at Chicago. and there will
be no yilification of men and measures
such as the country is now being dis
graced with. This IS evident from a
letter received by Fred p Branson
from Champ Clark Tuesday, in which
Mr.. Branson is invited to second the
nomination of the Missouri man for
the presidency.
In his letter condemning the tactics
of the republican leaders Mr. Clark
pays the following tribute to his op-
ponents for the presidency:
Advocates of numerous distinguish
ed democrats, men of high attainments
sterling personal qualities, great in
tellectual force and executive capacity
have contended in friendly way with
my friends and among themselves,
with view to securing the vote of
the several states. Fortunately, how
ever, there has been no such unseemly
scramble for the presidency as that
indulged by republican aspirants Our
contest has been waged without acri-
mony and without engendering any
bitterness which might rise to haunt
us when we come to close the ranks
and move forwards towards the desired
achieve ,ent in November Mr.. Clark
predictst the success Of the democratic
ticket November no matter who the
nomina of the party might be
Mr. Sranson left Tuesday night for
Baltimore and will not return to ok

Senate Passes Owen Bill Wgst az
lows cherokees to Sell lN
Small Land Tra@

Washington. June 1S-.yesterday
the senate passed the owen bin. re-
moving the restrictions on incum-
brances and alienation of allotted land
in the Cherokee nation The object
is to permit the sale of small tracts
which were allotted to Cherokees but
have never been used or cultivated
since the allotment.
The bill directs the secretary of the
interior to appraise, through the In
dian agent at Union Agency Okla,
the tracts of surplus land allotted to
the Cherokees Of less tha nthirty acres
and sell them at actual value. There
are several hundred allotments in
tracts Of thirty acres or less.
The Indians who secured the allot-
ments have their homesteads many
miles away and are anxious for au-
thority to sell them, because they have
no income from them. Persons living
near the land want it sold and opened
to occupancy and cultivation

New Cure For HIccouahs.

An employee of the Crocker-Wheel-
er company at Ampere. N. j., was re.
Gently seized with an attack of hic-
coughs. Various remedies were sug-
gested, but none were of any avail.
The attack had lasted for several
hours before it became necessary for
him to stop work and go home. AT
the expiration of that time he was
completely exhausted by the continued
spasmodic contractions in his throat
Each renewal of the attack seemed
to fairly tear his insides" as he ex
pressed it. The works at Ampere
cover twenty-five acres, and the em
pIoyee ha dto walk through several
of the big shops. So exhausted was
he that when fresh attack seized
him, he staggered and almost fell. He
put out one hand to steady himself
and the next instant he Strengthened
out rigidly. His hand had come in
contact with a generator carrying a
current of $50 volts. After the light
ming swift withdrawal of his hand. and
a startled grasp, the man turned quiet
ly and went back to his work He
was cured of the hiccoughs, but was
heard to state later that he thought
the disease almost preferable to the
drastic cure.

THE EAST SIDE
MAY NOT Be DRY
Attorney Holds "Friends" on West
Side May Ship to the East
Side.

Muskogee, Okla, June 17.-Liquor
may be shipped into eastern Okla
homa from the western part of the
state apparently, according to attor-
neys who have gone over the decision
of Justice Pitney@ the United States
supreme court. The Charles Webb
case was tried here in full today. In
effect it is not federal offense for
persons to ship liquor from one part
of the state to another and another
point is that the United States still
has jurisdiction over liquor shipments
Government officials are said to be un'
willing to prosecute any person for
shipping liquor from oklahoma City
to Muskogee. The matter will be
tested in the courts soon. As the
case stands, apparently any one liv.
ing here cannot buy liquor outside
the state, without being held for ''in-
PRODUCING" but fired" in the west
ern part of Oklahoma may send a
barrel of beer or gallon of whisky to
a person here for personal use.

FIRE DESTROYS
SCHOOL BUILDING
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The old frame building, formerly
used as a school, was burned about
one O'Clock this morning The fire
was supposted to have been set by
tramps sleeping in the building or by
incendaries who wished the building
out OF the way.
The building was erected in the
year 1882 by the American Home
Missionary Society of the Congrega-
tional church and school opened in it
for the first time on October % of
that year with A. P. Goodyknootz as
president of the institution, which was
known as the Worcester Academy, -
and was an accessory school to the
Drury College located at Springfield,
Mo- The city purchased the building
about fifteen years ago and since that
time it has been used as a public
school for Vinita children.
The building was vacated last Jan
uary and since that time the board
have been endeayoring to sell it but
mad not succeeded though they had a
number of offers. The loss is esti
mated at about one thousand dollars

new and picturesque. In addition to
this the road passes through terri
tory rich IN medicinal springs and
through the Grand river valley along
the banks of a stream moer beautiful
than the Hudson.
The NJ, o. & G. extension north
starts at Wagner and for a mile or
more parallels the NJ, X. & T. 1t then
travels northeast and crosses the
Grand river six miles north of Wag-
oner. At this point beautiful park is
to be built The bridge over the
Grand is now being constructed and
after the road crosses the river at this
point it trayerses the east bank of the
Grand clear to the Kansas line. The
first townsite is at Yonkers, ten miles
north of Wagner; the next is Locust
Grove, IA miles farther north then
Salina a beautiful spot eight miles due
east of Pryor; next comes Lynch's
Ferry, a romantic site almost at the
mouth Of Spavinaw creek, and still
farther north and east are Pensacola
and Ketchum. Townsltes in Delaware
and Ottawa counties win be laid out
later on. The road passes through
Muskogee, Wagner, Mayes. Delaware
and Ottawa counties and cuts across
the northwest corner of Cherokee coun-
ty.
A feature of the country through
which the road passes is its water
supply
In addition to the pure spring water,
there are hundreds of medicinal
springs, including sulphur, radium,
iron and salt. In the neighborhood OF
Salina there are dozens of sulphur
springs and two salt springs which
have been made famous by the Chero-
KEGS. The Indians claim that the salt
springs were made by the medicine
man" when, in fact, they are the re-
suit of salt wells dug by the U. s. gov
ernment forty years ago. The seen
cry at this point and at the mouth OF
the Spayinaw eight miles north is beau
tiful the year round and it is predicted
that it viii not be many years before
summer and winter homes are built in
this locality. To the east of the road
are the homesteads Of hundreds Of
fullblood Cherokees, d number OF
whom have never seen a railroad. A
great many of these Indians only speak
the, Cherokee language and are timid
at tbe approach of a white man. The
NJ, O. & G. will open to Muskogee {
wonderful new country and there is NJ
doubt but what 1t will deyelop eastern
Oklahopa. There is but little question
but what the territory is rich in leat
and zinc while oil and gas are almos
certain to be discovered. It is almos

OPENS UP
GOOD COUNTRY

Wagner, Okla, June 20.-Through
a country which up to this time has
practically been unexplored country
which in the beauties of nature and as
romantic as Indian legend can make it,
the Missouri, Oklahoma and Gulf rail-
road is now being built through north
east Oklahoma and before the cotton
and corn is picked this year the shrill
of the locomotive and the wheels of
the iron horse will be heard where for
more than half a century the Cherokee
held forth in kingdom all his own
and the pale face was a curiosity.
The rapidity with which the new
road is being built has astonished not
only the Indians but white men as
well, and the news that trains will be
running through from Denison, Texas
to Joplin, Mo, over the NJ, o. & G. be-
fore Sept. / will come as a surprise to
most people in Muskogee and else
where. A trip over the new line even
overland from Muskogee north, is an
enjoyable one and when the road is
completed a sight seeing tour of the
southwest will not be complete until
trip is taken over this road from
NIuskogee to Baxter Springs. For more
than 100 miles the road passes through
territory rich in scenery and ro-
nance, and scarcely a minute goes
lhw that one does not see something

q. r. Yoakum on Good Roads.

The following epigrams are taken
from speeches made by Mr.. B. F. Yoa-
KUN, chairman of the executive COM
mittee, st. Louis and San Francisco
Railroad company, upon the subject of
Good Roads.
There is no work more important
than to build public roads in such a
manner that they will be permanent
and economical in maintenance.
Good roads cut the time to market
in half and double the value of farm
lands.
You cannot make as good an in
vestment in any other way and the
state and general public should and
will aid you if you go about it in the
| right manner.
Compare the country roads full of
mud holes with the improved town
streets Look at the country wooden
bridges and then at the town stone
bridges am. steel viaduets, Farmers
get together for progress, not retreat
Cities are growing faster because
money is pouring in for improvement
Farming industry is at a standstill be-
cause there is not enough money ex-
pended to make the roads passable
enough for social visits.
| The value of farm lands is fixed by
their nearness to railroads or the
equivalent-goo roads.
| The farmer has never been accused
of thinking of his own interests too
far ahead.
The railroads are interestd in your
welfare and may be depended upon to
aid in working out your economies. 1t
is good business to do SO.
The only way to get good roads is
to fight for them. Fight hard.
Government statistics tell us that it
costs our farmers Is cents more to
haul one ton one mile than in Europe.
1t took three quarters of century
to build up the American railroads and
during this period but little attention
was given to the American country
lroads, yet the value of the two to the
public goes hand in hand
If the country roadmakers had kept
Iup with the railroad makers it would
mot cost the farmer to haul ton of
grain one mile as much as it costs him
to send it by railroad fifty miles.
| A farmer who lives fifteen miles
from a shipping station on good road
lis better off than one who lives five
miles off on a poor road.
We have more than two million
miles of public roads, and of this
amount only about two miles out Of
each hundred are under a high state
of improvement; eight miles out of
each hundred under any kind of inn
Iproyement
! A good farm away from railroad or
a good public road is almost as un-
profitable as farm without water
Mr.. B. f. Yoakum has long been
known as one of the foremost cham
pions in the good roads movement
and in 1909. he invited representatives
of the Farmers Union in Louisiana,
Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas to be
his. guests on a tour of the east, in
order that they might have opportun-
| ity to personally inspect the good
roads of that section. As a result of
this courtesy on the part Of Mr.. Yoa-
kun large appropriations were made
for good roads in the territories in
which the representatives Of the Far
mers' Union resided.
