A Successful Struggle.

At such school as the university of
Oklahoma where over half the men
students are self supporting in whole
or in part, there are many whose strug-
giles for the coveted degree are les
sons worth while fo- the boy with little
means but desire for college edu-
cation. The story of Ray Homer
Haun, who will receive his bachelor
of arts degree from the Sooner insti.
tuition next June, is one of many such.
When Haun enrolled in the university
from Pond Creek four years ago he
was not over-burdened with cash but
had goodly fund of pluck and com
mendable willingness to put his shoul-
der to the wheel. He registered, took
part in the class scrap and became a
patriotic fl shman, and then looked
about for ID. His eye alighted en-
"The Rub" a shop where students
pressed the clothes of other students
who were wont to wear creases in
their every day trousers. Raun be-
came attached to a sad-iron at The

other odd jobs to do and was able to
earn most of his expense money in his
freshman year. When he came back
next year he landed place as collec-
tor of student laundry and parted com
pany with the sad-iron, His hustling
qualities caused the students to elect
him business manager of the tudent
semi-weekly newspaper at salary OF
thirty dollars per month for his junior
year. He was reelected as a senior
contrary to all precedent because even

soOners May PIay In Denver.

Herman Weinberger, athletic direc-
tor of the university of Colorado, was
in Norman recently endeavoring to Sc
cure an annual football game between
the universities of Oklahoma and Col
Iorado. He proposes that they play
in Denver next Thanksgiving and in
The game should draw we'll in either
city since Oklahoma holds the grid
iron championship of the southwest
and Colorado of the Rocky Mountain
region. 1t is altogether possible this
battle for sectional honors will be
scheduled and become a permanent
one on the athletic calendar. Finan-
cially the game would be a winner.
There is to be urged against it the
fact that the high altitude of Denver
makes it almost impossible for a team
from this section to play up to form
there, as has been demonstrated in
the case of several Missouri Valley
elevens in years past The Sooners
are hesitating even more because they
prefer to play their annual Thanks
giving day game at home or in Okla
homa City. At present it seems prob
iable that no state university can be
secured for an annual Turkey day date
in the Oklahoma metropolis or the adj
jacent school town, and if this prove
to be the case the alternative will be
game in Oklahoma City every other
year with Colorado or one every year
with the Oklahoma "Aggies."

Tulsa Poultry Show.

Tulsa( Okla, Jan. 2-The second
annual show of the Eastern Oklahoma
Poultry Association opened New Years
Day in Tulsa under decidedly favor
able conditions. Nearly 1000 birds
were on exhibition in the show roorl
this morning and it is expected by to-
morrow night that in excess of 1000
chickens, geese, turkeys, pigeons and
other fowls will be on display In fact
the show has assumed such stupend-
Gus proportions that it will be neces-
sary to erect a temporary extension to
the poultry building to accommodate the
extra pens.
The show lasts six days and it is ex-
|pected the attendance for the week
will far exceed any poultry show ever
held in the state. This is expected as
a result of complimentary tickets mail
ed to every farmer in Tulsa county and
all poultry raisers and fanciers, whom
the association wish to become more
interested in the fine points of the
chicken business. M. A. Younkman,
secretary of the Tulsa County Fair AS
sociation and a chicken expert, is SUI
perintendent of the poultry show and
is having the able support of the Off
GERS of the association, including Pres
ident Joel G. Smith. In awarding
prizes the judges of the show will be
guided by the new standard of perfec-
ton as adopted by the American Poul-
try Association.

DEALERS
WILL APPEAL CASE
Decision at Fort Smith Prohibits Ship
ment of lntoxicants Into Old
Indian Territory.

Oklahoma City. Jan. 4.-The Nation
Ial Association of Liquor Dealers has
given notice that it will appeal the
Friedman case of Fort Smith, recently
decided by the civil court of appeals at
st. Louis, to the supreme court of the
United States.
The decision referred to makes il
impossible to obtain intoxicating Il.
quors by Interstate shipments into
what was former Indian Territory or
the Usage Indian reservation, by de-
claring that the law of 1897 respecting
the introduction of such liquors into
that section was still in force
An abundance of liquor went in prior
to statehood, because there was no
law requiring the marking of liquor
shipments to show the contents Now,
however, there is such a statute, and
the designation serves as notice to
the carrier, who is forbidden to accept
the shipment for transportation. The
appealing company will have six
months from November q, last, to
perfect the case.
Interpretation of the circuit courts
|opinion includes shipments of pure al
cohol within the prohibited list. 1t is
believed that shipments from the Okla
homa side of the state into Indian Ter
ritory will be legal as permitted by
the state law, and beyond the pale of
interference by the federal govern
ment Carriers, however, have not
yet agreed that they can accept ship
ments even from the west side, since
the alcohol is first brought in as an
interstate shipment
1t is probable alcohol will be kept
on the prohibited list, to be strictly
within the Friedman decision, which
means that druggists will leither have
to find substitute for alcohol, or OBJ
tain it by methods not yet devised
Druggists use alcohol extensively in
preparing medicines and physicians
frequently employ it in their practice
In some localities the imbiber "takes
| it straight, "sor diluted with little wa.
ter. In this for nit is known as white
mule" owing to the after effects.

.UNFOUNOED REPORT
SENATOR GORE ALRIGHT
January 3. 1912.


Editor Chieftain:
My Dear Sir and Friend. An Asso-
ciated Press dispatch from st. Paul
recently represented me as saying
that would not support the demo-
cratic nominee for the presidency un-
less Governor Wilson or Speaker
Clark should receive the nomination.
beg to say that this report is utter
ly unfounded and utterly at variance
with the facts. / never made q state
ment that could be tortured into such
a declaration. There is not a thread
of truth nor a fiber OF fact in the
whole fabrication.
1t is well known to you and to the
people of the state that Governor Will
son is my choice for the presidency.
1T is not that ! love Wilson more or
others less, but because after thor
ough canvass of the situation believe
that he would poll larger vote than
any other democrat and would, there
fore, more likely win the presidency.
That is the consummation which all
good democrats devoutedly desire.
| If had a second choice, perhaps
Speaker Clark would answer that de.
lscription l think highly of the speak
er and hope to see him preside over
a democratic house for many years to
come. If thought he would likeliest
win he would be my first choice for
the presidency.
But do not cast my personal
choice for judgment into the scale
against the united wisdom of the ma
tional democracy. Whenever the ma
tional convention shall proclaim our
chosen chieftain shall follow him as
faithfully and devotedly as any demo-
crat, and shall in the next campaign,
as have done in the last three, cam
paign this country from sea to sea
lin behalf of the democratic nominee.
For years we have struggled to
rescue the republic from trust, monop-
oily and special privilege. The golden
opportunity is now at hand Less
taxes, more trade. no trusts and no
graft" should be our battle cry. The
democracy of the state and the dem
ocracy of the nation should unite as
one man and do valiant battle in this
contest of man against mammon, in
this contest to restore good govern
ment, with equal justice to all and
| lfayoritism to none.
| Wishing you a prosperous New
Year, with many golden returns, am
Truly yours,
T. P. GORE.

SUIT INVOLVES
STATE AND NATION

Tulsa, Okla, Jan. 2.-In the refusal
of District Judge L. M. Poe to grant
"a receiver for the Turkey Island, or
Larry No-Legs island, situated in the
middle Of the Arkansas river west of
here, the claims of the state of Okla
homa is said to have received a SER
ious setback. Judge Poe said he would
not grant receive runtil the dispute
over the title of the land is settled.
Turkey Island is an S4 acre tract of
land between the Usage and Pawnee
counties in the Arkansas river, upon
which are numerous and valuable oil
wells. The land is claimed by the
United States government, the state of
Oklahoma, by Larry No-Legs, the In
dian, and others. Following the dis
pute over the title of the land, the oil
wells drilled on the island were plug
ged" and drilling operations ceased.
The wells were drilled by the Pro-
ducers Oil company, and it is the con
tention of the state and oil men that
unless the wells can be operated, they
will be ruined, and the state therefore
asked that receiver be appointed, the
oil wells operated and the proceeds be
kept by the receiver.

ALASKA GOAL
OF HIGH GRADE

Alaska Hieh-Grade Coal Reported on
BY United States Geological Survey
Accompanying Map Shows Best
Approach of Proposed Government
Railroad.
The high-grade Goals OF the Mata-
nuska Valley. Alaska, are the subject
of a timely report just issued by The
United States Geological Survey. Tho
Matanuska coal field is the area to
which Secretary Fisher recommended
that government railway be built,
and the Geological Survey report, with
accompanying detailed maps, showing
the areas underlain by coal strata, the
most feasible routes for railway ap-
proach, and other specific and authori-
tative information, constitutes valu-
able contribution to the present Alaska
fuel problem.
The federal geological survey has
been engaged in surveying and investi-
eating the coal fields of Alaska during
the past twelve years. The Matanska
field was first explored in 1858, and
some years later was covered by re.
connaissance surveys followed by pre-
liminary reports. AS it is one of the
most important mineral areas in
Alaska its detailed examination was
begun in 1908, base map was pre-
pared, and in 1909 the coal-bearing
rocks were mapped and studied, the
result being the present report, which
is issued as Bulletin 500-"Geology and
Coal Fields of the Lower Matanuska
Valley, Alaska" by G. c. Martin and
IF. j. Katz, The accompanying maps
show the geology, structure, and posi-.
tion of the coal beds and the report
gives detailed measurements of the in.
dividual coal seams and analyses of
the different grades of coal.
The maps, which are on the scale of
a mile to the inch, win also enable the
constructing engineer to lay out the
most feasible railroad route and will
also provide the coal miner and oper.
ator with an adequate base for plan.
ming the work of prospecting the in
|dividual coal beds through drilling
shaft sinking, or tunnel drivbeg.
The publication of the Matanuska
report marks the close of the first
epoch in the investigation of the
Alaskan coal fields, to which the geol
ogists and topographic engineers oi
the survey. have devoted so many
years. The Goals Of the Bering River
field, the report on which was issued
in 1908, share pre-eminence with the
Matanuska Goals among Alaska fuels
and are in fact comparable with the
Ihighest-grade Goals of West Virginia
or Pennsylvania. Other reports al
ready issued by the Geological Survey
cover practically all the additional ac
cessible coal fields of Alaska, and dis
cuss and summarize the general con
ditions of development, including pos
sible markets and railway routes.
