EXTENDPAYMENTS
ON INDIAN LANDS
PURCHASERS OF CHICKASAW
AND cHocTAW LANDS IN 1911
GET ONE YEAR EXTENSION.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 25.-Sec,
retary Fisher of the department of
interior, Thursday notified j. George
Wright. commissioner to the five
tribes, to extend the payments to
all those persons who purchased
Choctaw and Chickasaw lands during
the year 1911. Each g: the deferred
payments on the land will be extend
ed one year.
Many of those who purchased
lands previous to 1911 have again ap-
pealed to the department for ex-
tension Of payments but Secretary
Fisher has decided that the depart
ment shall grant no further relief
in such cases except where buyers
can show an extreme need of such
action. The drouths of the past sew
eral years haye made it impossible
for many Of the buyers to meet
their original contract, hence the
leniency on the part of the govern
ment in the matter

HOUSE BLOCKS PLAN
OF GOV. CRUCE
LEGISLATORS DEFEAT BILL FAv-
oREp BY STATE EXECUTIVE
LITTLE WORK ACCOMPLISHED.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 24.-With an
executive session of the senate con-
sidering the appointments of John
B. Doolin and Ben w. Riley to be
state game warden and secretary OF
the state election board respectively,
and session this afternoon in the
house, the Oklahoma legislature ac.
complished little actual work today.
What seems an indication of the
attitude of the house toward Governor
Cruce was the action of that body
today in defeating by vote OF 6e
to 28 a bill declaring the states right
to the eand and gravel in the beds OF
the rivers o. the state.
This was a bill Cruce wanted pass
cd and he has delayed on his own
responsibility completion of the new
Oklahoma code SO that law could
To passed to claim the sand and grav-
ell rights AMI so the law could also
be incorporated in the code. The vote
taken today was TO Indefinitely post
pone it.
The banks and banking commit
tees of the senate today introduced
the banking bill asked for by the
Oklahoma bankers. 1t provides that
no greater per cent than one-fifth OF
l per cent of the deposits of state |
banks may be made for the bank guar
anty fund in any one year. This pro-
hibits special assessments, which have
been unpopular with the banks here
tofore The banking board shall also
be selected by the bankers of the
state. who shall certify the names OF
nine bankers to the governor, who
shall select three to compose the
Ioard.

ANNUAL BANQUET COMMERCIAL CLUB;
PROMINENT SPEAKERS A FEATURE
WISDOM ELoQUENCE
MARKS AN EPOCH IN HISTORY THE VALUABLE NJ.
FORMATION DvULGED ON RAJ LRoAD AND OIL DEvEL LoPMENT
LEGISLATURE "TURN LOOSE"

The expectations of the most opti-
mistic and enthusiastic Commercial
club members were surpassed last
night in the eloquence, brilliancy and
common sense speeches of the ban
queters Friday night and they are
more than pleased with the results of
such a gathering. The large double
building on Main street was taxed
to its capacity by the banqueters.
More than 200 covers were spread
and the service rendered by the cater
er, Gilbert Shuman, of the Gem Cafe,
was more than could have been eX-
pected of an occasion of that kind.
The success of the annual banquet
was due in large measure to the
timeliness of the subjects discussed
and of the men who discussed them,
coupled with the wit and eloquence
and princely maner Of the toastmaster
j. S Mullen. Mr.. Mullen so managed
the affair that there was not a dull
moment throughout the evening and
the banqueters reluctantly answered
the call of late retiring hour to re-
pair to their homes.
Another feature of the annual ban
quet that was especially pleasing to
Ardmore was the presence of a large
number of leading farmers from Car
ter county and some from Stephens
and Love counties. Every number
on the program was of equal interest
to the agriculturalist and the farm
ers were greatly pleased with the sue
cess of the banquet.
Although the building was crowded
no difficulty was had in caring for
the crowd, so perfect was the affair
The banquet possessed several i'm
portant features. H. M. Cottrell, ag-
ricultural commissioner of the Rock
Island was present and made an in
teresting address. Prof. Cottrell was
reared on farm, so successful was
he that his first call was to the chair
in the state A. and NJ. college of
Kansas. From that post he was called |
to the management of vast planta-
tons in Nebraska and New York and |

"The City"

One of the most intensely interest
ing of all the theatrical productions
which have played this city this sea
son will be produced at the Robson
opera house tomorrow night.
Hugo B. Koch will appear in the
principal role in this splendid play
of Clyde Fitch's. 1t will portray in
a most realistic manner the story of
the boy from the country who came
to the city and made the city his.
From all indications one of the larg-
est audiences which has ever turned
out in Ardmore will fill the opera
house to see this play and, judging
from what critics say, they will be
we'll satisfied with the production.
