Fund Ample for All

funO ANlDIe TOT All
The Choctaw-Ch fund held
by the government amounts to about
$35, 100000, according to a statement
of Senator owen of Oklahoma, and as
this payment would take less than 49,
100000, he ventured there would be
ample for all righteous claimants"
were they enrolled. The payment is in
obedience to treaty stipulations, he
added.
Senator Clark of Arkansas, presid-
ing, overruled the point of order, and
upon roll call the chair was sustained
by vote of 40 to IS.
The provision will be the subject of
attack by Senator Williams of Mis-
sissippi, who offered an amendment
that none of the money shall be paid
out until the status of the Mississippi
Choctaw claimants Is determined.
These number anywhere from 5000
to 10000. Senator Gore made a point
or order against Senator Williams
amendment, and it went over until
tomorrow.
Bearing upon this feature of the In
dian legislation, the house Indian com
mittee has equipped the Oklahoma sen
ators with testimony it secured con

TAXING IRRIGATION.

The West is greatly interested in the
reversal Of the treasury department rul-
ing that irrigation districts are not
"politicnl subdivisions within the
meaning Of the income tax law, but
rather cuisines" districts, exercising
no governmental functions not directly
connected within the business which
they are created to transact. The treas
ury ruled in the first place that irriga.
tlon bonds, not being bonds of a po-
litical subdivision, were subject to in
come taxes and must be reported, and
the taxes collected Eat the source"
When the matter was referred to the
Attorney General, however, the treas
ury was overruled, and it is now held
that interest on irrigation, reclamation,
drainage, road and leyee bonds is not
subject to income taxes, and owners OF
them need not report income from them.
This will be good news to the irriga
tion districts. 1t will make salcable
bonds that have not been saleable up
to this time, and the bonds should
bring higher prices.

Sugar Beet Discovery.

One summer department Of agri,

sent them TO Washington TO have one
of his laboratory assistants examine

the trouble.
1t so happened that about a month
before this man who was interested
in growing nasturtiums in Virginia

that after few days the spots turned
yellow, and later the tissue fell out.
He thought perhaps someone interested

anime tho leaves and might be able
TO tell him whnt the matter was and
what to do for his plants. SO he sent
them to the bureau of plant industry.
Another laboratory assistant examined
these leaves and found the cells in tho

laboratory methods FOR getting this
germ out Of the leaves and proved that
She had the right one that had caused
the trouble.
When the dark-spotted sugar beet
leaves arrived In Washington the
laboratory assistant examined the leaves
and found humorous bncteria. In the
diseased spots. She isolated these
bacteria from the sugar beet leaves by
the usual method and proved that she
had the germ that had caused tho dis

For a long time it was thought that
these two diseases were caused by two
different organisms, as it was natural
to suppose, and the two assistants
worked out the life histories of the

discovered from the many tests they
led made that instead eof different
germs the two were exactly alike.
They were surprised at this, and made
many subsequent tests to prove that
they had made no mistakes; then

on nasturtium leaves, using the germ
they had gotten from the diseased beet
leaf disease on The sugar beet leaves,
using the germ they had gotten out OF
the nasturtlum leaves. These last tests
established their case.
AS tho appearance of the two diseases
was entirely different on the two host
plants, it is evident that the whole
story about a bacterial disease cannot
always be determined from its history
on one kind Of plant. AS general
rule parasites are restricted to single
crop or to closely relatod crops, but in
some cases the same little germ may be
as destructive, or even moro destructive
to other plants not at all related to the
plant on which the disease was first
discovered.

FIRST AMERICAN OIL WELL

eral states. The Wheeling Intelli.
gencer, reviewing the oil industry Of
West Virginia, says there was an oil
we'll on the banks of the Kanawha
river at the present site of Charleston
"51 years before the Drake we'll at
Titusville. Pa, ushered in the pc
troleum industry of the world"
1t Is probable that there were such
wells In other states. Kentucky had
one at an early day. but its possibili-
ties were so little realized that nothing
was done with 1t beyond bottling linn
tied portion of the product and ped.
ding 1t out as liniment! As to the
priority Of these old-time wells, It is
mater of small importance, since the
birth Of the petroleum business dates
from the famous Titusville discovery
referred to by the Intelligencer.
West Virginia did not become
large oil producer until about twenty
years ago. although oil operations Of
varying character have been going on
at intervals in that state almost since
the beginning of development in Penn
sylvania. There was a fairly flourish
ing industry prior to the Civil war,
but 1t was crushed out during theI
period Of hostilities, and for many
years thereafter it was struggling forl
existence. Production reached high.
water mark in 1900, when the output
of West Virginia wells amounted to
more than 100000 barrels. It has
not been so large in any subsequent
year, though West Virginia stands
high on the list as an oil-prpducing
state. The production for 1912 was
10000 barrels. In value 1t exceed
ed that Of any other year with the sole
exception Of the record year of 1900
