FOR GAME PRESERVE.
Provision of Bill Allowing State to
Purchase Same.

Congressman Charles u. Carter
who has introduced bill in congress
providing for u final settlement Of the
affairs OF the five civilized tribes,
has been requested by Secretary OF
State b. f, Harrison to incorporate
in the bill provision whereby the
state may buy a large section of the
land. The purchase not only would
provide a game preserve for the
state, but protect the large forests
of valuable timber as well. In his
letter to Congressman Carter, Mr..
Harrison says:
"There has been muih discussion
about game preserve in the eastern
part of the state, and also about the
conservation of timber in that sec
tion. | would suggest that you inCor-
porate a provision in your bill al
loving the state to purchase at the
appraised value the mountain lands
valuable tor timber, located in Push
mataha, Choctaw, McCurtain, LeF'lore
and Latimer counties, for a game pre-
serve in order to protect the timber
ana keep it ont of the hands OF the
large monopolies.'
The state fish and game depart
ment now has on hands more than
$l0O,000 in fish and game protective
fund. derived from the sale of hunt
ing licenses and left as balance
after all expenses of running the de
partment have been paid. This money
would be available for the purchase
of lands for a game preserve.

E-EM|NENTLY A
PEACH COUNT
ALSO ADAPTABLE TO THE BIG
RED APPLE SAYS WALTER col.
BERT.

Walter Colbert, the well known p.o-
gressNe farmer and fruit grower OF
Ardmore said to an Ardmoroite rep-
rescutatiye yesterday that no mistake
could be made in urcing the cultiNa-
tiou of the peach in this country.
The Elberta, according TO Mr.. Col
bert. has the preference here oWing
to ifs hardy growth and the thick
skin which renders it less suscepti-
BILE TO bruises and consequent decay
in shipping.
However, the gentleman states that
the White Heath variety which has
made Southern California famous as
a peach country, can he grown sue
cessfully here. If the people here
would only take the trouble to inform
themselves upon fruit culture, he SAYS
they would soon become satisfied that
every Kind of fruit crown in the tenn
pera,e zone can be produced here IN
/ duuuudutt. App'N' l"i - '''
iuicv and fully eQuaI 70 those Of the
famous Ozark country, pears super
ior TO those of the Rochester region
and peaches superior to any grown
anywhere in the United States all
thrive and produce most abundantly
in southern Oklahoma.
Lands suitable for orchardins can
be bought at from IS to $12 per acre,
according to distance from town. I'm
like the fruit lands of Missouri and
Arkansas, the oklahoma lands Will
not have to be cleared of encumber-
ing forests-the prospective orchard
ist will not have to 80 to this expense.
Southern Oklahoma Is not subject
to late spring frosts nor killing win
ter freeZing-in fact the climatic con
ditions are nearly perfect for success
full fruit growing.
A careful cultivation of the soil be
tween the rows of trees in some good
cereal or deep root taking crop, for
the first three or four years a good
yearly crop of nitrogen producing
plants to be turned under yearly after
that, together with a spraying once
in winter and once in summer to de-
stroy destructive insects and parasite
life will be all that viii be required
by way of attention in addition to
careful yearly PRUNING and remov-
al of dead branches.
One man can easily look after
twenty-five acres in fruit trees ana
properly nurse them through to the
bearing period.

PARLIAMENT WILL MEETFEBRUARY IA Political Leaders Preparing
 for Great Battle HOME RULE IS ISSUE Cruiser Lion Makes Speed Record. Canada Expecting Big Emigra-
 tion-Danger of Wearing
 Women's Rats
By PAUL LAMBETH

London, February 3.-(Special.) )-Parlla- ment reassembles on February IA for one of the most important sessions held in modern times The leaders of the two great parties are already preparing for the history making battles which are to be fought out within the next few months.
 Of course Irish home rule is to be the spectacular feature of the session. It was no secret that the insurance bill was rushed through to clear the decks for home rule measure. It is now understood that the bill will be introduced late m February or early in March and that it will be pushed with all the energy Of a very energetic government. That it will be fought bitterly admits of no doubt.
 Even before parliament opens the first guns in the campaign will be fired and it is not at all impossible that they will bring blood.
 Winston Churchill and John Redmond are to address a great nome rule meeting in Belfast Thursday and the Ulster un- ionists have made open threats that the meeting shall not be held. Both Redmond and Churchill are determined men, not to be frightened by threats, and it is not at all improbable that there will be bloody riots in Belfast before the week is past That the government regards the situation as serious is evidenced by the fact that troops have been quietly massed within striking distance of Belfast ready for In stant use if they are needed.
 Important as home rule is another meas ure is to be taken up at this session or parliament more far reaching perhaps in it's effects on the future of England. That is the measure which deals with the fran chse. It is proposed to extend the fran chise to many men now without voie and to do away with plural voting. A determined effort to include in this meas ure woman suffrage will be made. but it is very doubtful if it will be successful. a- woman's suffrage will not, in fact cannot now, be made party question.
 The reform of the franchise possibly will carry with it a reapportionment Of parliament seats, though this may not be attempted at once That such reap portionment is needed cannot be gainsaid.
 The two largest constituencies in Eng land are Romford, in Essex with 55,s5l electors, and Walthamstow, in Essex, with 4. .O29 electors. The two smallest are Dur ham and Bury St. Edmunds. with 269S and 2S7S electors respectively. Under the pres ent system each of these constituencies is represented in parliament by one mem- Der. and Romford has the same influence in the house of commons as Durham. which has less than one-twentieth of the number of electors that Romford has
 The seven constituencies in Middlesex, with the combined electorate of 197 l5l return the same number of members as the seven constituencies. Durham, Bury St. Edmunds. Kilkenny, Newry, Wick, Sutherandshire and Montgomery, whose combined electorate is only 1s,S5l.
