Nj i. J. J., Rooney Tulsa CONNER
cial Club, Tulsa, oklahoma, My dear
Sir am In receipt of your letter
OF Il few days since enclosing me
clipping from the Tulsa Democrat
and the Tulsa World, relative TO the
proposed bill ] intended 10 introduce
calling for improvement OF the Ar
kansas river. Some years ago a sur
vey Of the river was made and the
government engineers reported that It
would take twenty-five million dol
lars TO complete a series Of locks ana
dams in order TO insure the nayiga-
bility Of the river In my judgment
money could not bc more wisely spent
for our part Of the country then to
improve the Arkansas river. 1t would
mean much TO both Oklahoma and
Arkansas and would solve many Of
the vexauous problems that the citi-
zens Of the two states have now to
contend with. / would have introduc-
ed the bill before now, but as you
know, no general legislation is being
taken up by Congress, ana ! have
about decided to wait until December
before introducing the biz.
81 thank you for sending me the
clippings and the interest you have
taken in the matter and assure YOU
that it viii give me pleasure to hear

Enthusiastically Of the opportunities Of

1t is considered probable that one
reason why Americans have been
slow to learn foreign language for
use abroad is to be found in the fact
that there has been little necessity
fer seeking positions in other coun-
tries In the teaching profession, par
ticularly, the present supply Of well

Oldest Living Thing in the World.

Professor Aphonse Candoic an ilustrious botanist calculated that the Santa Maria del Tue cypress in the ntendency of Oaxaca Mexico might be 5000 years old. Professor Asa Gray. under one computation, estimated that it might be 5124 years old and named it the Nestor of the cypress race If not of the whole vegetable kingdom"
 Both these computations would make the Mexican cypress older by from 1000 to 1000 years than the giant sequoia of California in the bole of which John MuU, the famous geoogist and archaeologlSt, counted than 4O0O rings The sequolas, however, being trees of more rapid growth greatly surpass the cypress in height.

 The legislative committees report finds that the views of the commission rather roseate; that there is a steady supply of water for the cultivation much land was mentioned in the report of the commission but the report finds that the site is ideal and should be accepted.
 That the school should longer is generally agreed that it should be located some place where agrcul- tural available regarded desirable There such sites in Cochise and Graham the would purchased while Camp Grant has come as d donation from the government
 In other respects than the agricultural facilities offered of the suggested sites may be com pared Camp It for many years of the most delightfully."- located army posts the n selection posts, there is always taken into consideration when possible, beauty and healthfulness of surroundings. Another thing in of Camp Grant reform school site. is it's isolation.
 For the comfort of the other community didates for the location of the industrial school, We would say that if the report of the committee shall be adopted, they will have missed nothing of value.

Origin of the Term Cabinet"

In the sense in which Cabinet" is used in American politics the word has curious origin and history. It goes back to the time of King William III and Queen Mary his wife. in England, from which country it brought to America. But in Great Britain custom forceful law keeps the sovereign of the Cabinet meetings. This usage began by accident.
 The word itself is French in derivation, and originally meant the dimnutive of ''cabne"-a little When George 1 king he could take part in the deliberations of his Privy Council because he knew English. British states did speak German. So the ministers who served this first of the HanoVerlan SOVereignS of the United Kingdom used to in the king private room, cabinet. while he absent. Aferward they informed him of the result of their discussions. At that time, well earlier in British history, much made of French words and phrases in court life and state affairs.
