Birmingham, England, Sept. 10
Curiosity has been stirred in many
branches of science by hints of the
addresses which are to be delivered
at the annual meeting of the British
association which began here today.
Last year the association president
suggested the secret of the origin or
life. This year Sir oliver Lodge will
discuss the sequel to life. 1t is the
centre of his system that science
should. take account of spirit as well
as matter and on this theme a new
version of the place of science will
be given. He will assert that con-
tinuity Of life is a view essential to
modern science.
1t suggests a similar movement or
science that doctors and psychologists
are this year devoting nearly all their
efforts to the discovery of mental
processes. There are, as at present
arranged, three papers on material
subjects and twenty-seven on the psy-
chology of laughter bad spelling,
thcughtfulness, fatigue, memory, and
kindred subjects.

DEEDS TO RIGHT OF WAY.
State Engineer Colt Recommends
That Such Be Obtained.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Sept. 9.-The
plan followed by wv. r. Colt, state
engineer, working under the state
highway department in securing right
of way for public roads in Weleetka
township, he believes, should be fol
lowed in other sections of the state.
The township voted $4,000 in bonds
for road improvement, and the high
way department sent Colt to make
the surveys. Twenty-eight miles of
road were laid out, one portion being
a lJ3in trunk from east to west and
three extending north and south.
When Colt took the work none of
the townships proposed roads were OF
record. He prepared an easement to
be signed by all owners of property
abutting on the road. giving right of
way to the township without cost,
urging that the road was benefit in
stead of damage.
"All signed without protest" said
Mr. Colt, "and this plan should be
followed in the state, particularly
where there are Indian allotments.
There Is little value in a township or
county building road without hay-
ing a title to the property. In Kansas
and Nebraska they tried it. and twen-
ty-five years after the roads We're
built, people fenced them, asserting
the public had no legal right to their
use"
AS soon as the township bonds are
approved by the attorney general work
will begin Mr. Colt says. Some por-
tions of the highway will require only
$50 or 800, while others will cost
$1,000 per mile.

NOTES Of INTEREST

lNGTON PERTAINING TO THE
STATE.

Washington, Sept. 9.-The depart
ment of interior has agreed to eX-
tend more time to farmers in the
western section of Oklahoma to meet
the delinquencies in the payment of
lease rents, and suits which were or
dered through Attorney General Nc
Reynolds will be held in allegiance un-
til those holding lands have had great
er opportunity to make settlement.
Members of congress pointed out to
the department of interior that the
farmers were facing great hardships
because of the droughts and effects
of hot winds and consequently the
suits would be an injustice to the set
tiers.

Those in Washington acquainted
with Oklahoma politics are taking
great interest in the report which has
Just reached the national capitol that
]. s. McMurray of McAlester, the lob
byist who Senator Ashhurst said could
carry q bundle of eels upstairs with
out dropping one, and Robert II. Rog-
ers, have been exchanging views in
Oklahoma City in reference to the SEN
atorial situation 1t is believed in
Washington that McMurray and Rog-
ers will spare no effort and possibly
will be able to induce someone to
enter the contest against Senator
Gore. Their hostility to Senator Gore
is well known and originated here in
Washington. McMurray's antagonism
is caused by the fact that it was the
Oklahoma lawmaker who knocked his
contracts with the individual men,
bers of the five tribes, higher than
Gilroy's kite, and which cost the lob
byist, $3,5OO,000 in fees. McMurray
it is declared, would possibly pay more
than any other person to rid the SEN
ate of Gore. Rogers hostility is due
to the fact that President Wilson
overlooked his talents in making up
his cabinet. And Rogers blames
Gore.
