circumstances Our people are now

them can never pay their taxes for

man here paying him a big salary to
tell them how to get water Who
pays for this? If the town got along
on the water proposition when the
town was twice as large as it is now
We had better get along a little while
longer and let every one VINO owns a

taxes on them and make them lose
more and only let a few who would
profit by the water bonds live and
enjoy the simple word home. The

.LANO SALES
NET N[ARt Y
z MILLIONS
MORE THAN TWO-THlRDS
OF INDIAN TRACTS OF
FERED, SOLD

Oklahoma City, OKLA, Dec S.-Al-
most millions of dollars have been
added to the funds of the Choctaw
and Chickasaw Indians as result OF
the sale of the surface Of segregated
coal and asphalt lands. This sale
has just been completed. 1T was one
OF the most remarkable sales ever
conducted, both from the point of
view of the value of the lands sold
and the character of bidding. APP
proximately two thirds of the land
offered was sold and the proceeds
amounted to half a million dollars
more than the appraised value.
There were 2S6 tracts offered,
containing 961,219 acres. Of this
amount I ,946 tracts, containing 2l5,-
S77 acres, were sold for 81 707,O00.
The prices ranged from 81 to $54 an
acre. The average price was $I9l
All the land, with the exception OF
450 tracts, was purchased by citizens
of Oklahoma.
The lands sold are in a number OF
counties. The sales have been under
way for more than two weeks. The
| bidders have been following the sales
| closely and the surface of the segre-
gated lands that has thus gone into
hands Of citizens is likely to be
placed under cultivation very soon
and made productive.
Coal county led all the other coun-
ties in which sales were had in the
percentage of the land sold. There
95 per cent of the offerings were dis
posed of. In Atoka county 80 per
cent of the land offered was sold
Pittsburg county sold 80 per cent OF
the average offered. These three
counties contained vast areas OF the
segregated lands Other counties
have smaller percentage of segregat-
ed lands. The total sales price Of
Phtsburg county land was $685.
the average price being $Si5 an acre.

in lessening the cost of running the
city from what it is if the present
administration is to set the terms OF
office for the next men elected after
they have served out their present
term which would not be for two
years for Nissley and four years for
Clothier yet. Let the people amend
the charter and not the few who
handle Clothier and Nissley. The
people want a change il the charter.
Ibut they don't want the present ones
in office to tell them how to amend
it to read for their own benefit The
charter can be amended at the spring
election by 80 per cent of the legal
voters of this city and do away with
the present city officials at big sal
aries. These officials are doing noth-
ing to benefit the town nor even try
to suit any one; only a few OF their
own clique. We could have a mayor

OF LIVING
GOES LIKE ROCKET
FLOUR, SUGAR, COFFEE AND
LEMONS HITTING HIGH PRICES
IN PAST FEW DAYS.

The war god Mars is not the only
one to brighten Mr.. Common People
nowadays. Col. misunderstanding
ing is loking about as formidable
now as any spectre could. The
European VAR is helping in the
boost of prices of foodstuffs, which
are already being felt by the house
wives of Mitchell.
Flour, the principal staple among
the foodstuffs, has reached almost a
record price within the past week.
Flour retailing a week ago for ST :
barrel, has 10Y advanced 90 cents a
barrel. And the indications Ire
that a lower price than this will not
be seen again for several moons.
The advance in -four can be traced
to two causes. The first is that
spring wheat in North and South Da-
kota has proven in most instances to
be unfit for milling, making the crop
about 100000 bushels short. The
second cause is the European war.
With the embargo on wheat lifted
on the eastern seabord, heavy e.
portations will commence and the
American consumer will have to pay
wartime prices.
Flour mills are making quotations
now only upon request of the deal.

ed sc cents a hundred, Saturday il
climber 20 cents more and today the
advance was another 80 cents. The
retail price, on sugar in Mitchell now
is $3.50 a hundred. The chief rea-
son for the big advance in price is
that much of the sugar used in the
United States was made from the
raw beet product of Germany. This
supply is of course wholly cut off
at present.
Coffee also has been ascending.
The price has advanced from 90 to
80 per cent. The reason for this adj
vance is that practically all of the
coffee from Brazil, where the worlds
supply is grown, has been shipped in
foreign vessels. With these boats off
the sea, the supply has stopped and
the price has jumped.
The embargo ON goods shipped
from Europe has affected Italian
lemons and with that supply shut
off, the. California fruit has made a
corresponding jump. Lemons are

PETTIGREW IN
IN S. D. POLITICS
TRIES IN VAIN TO INDUCE. DOW
DELL OR LOUCKS TO WITH
DRAW FROM SENATOR
IAL RACE.

Pierre, S. D.-Affairs political
have begun to o in this state for
the fall campaign. The democrats
held a meeting at Mitchell last week,
which was we'll attended by the
party nominees and leaders, and
formed campaign plans.
Another meeting, fruitless in its
results was held at Huron, on a call
by letters, sent out by Ex-senator
Pettigrew. He sent out a number of
letters asking those honored to meet
him at Huron, to take steps toward
securing a candidate for United
States senator, to oppose both Chas.
II. Burke and Ed johnson, (the re-
publican and democratic party nom
inees) both of whom he says put
property rights above the rights of
the people," The call brought to-
gether about a dozen old time poll
teal leaders representing different
sections of the state, among them
being R. E. Dowdell, the Bull Moose
selection for the senate, and II. l..
Loucks, the Independent candidate.
So far as can be learned an attempt
was made to secure the withdrawal
of one of these candidates, and a
concentration on the other, which.
failed for the reason that neither
would step out of the way, with a
result that nothing was accomplish
ed.
While there is a m that since
the announcement of R. o. Richards
as an Independent candidate for gov
ernor, the Bull Moose will make no
further move toward securing a IAN
didate for that place, it is claimed
from Deadwood that Ali Reed, 4
farmer near. Vale has been rendered
the place on the Bull Moose ticket
and will accept.
The announcement of r. o. Rich
ards as an independent candidate
for governor, after his defeat at the
polls under the primary act, which
bears hs name, calls out the COM
ment from several quarters, that
such action places him in position
where it will be hard for him to
support the primary law which is
being attacked at the polls this fall,
on account of his refusal to accept
the decision of the voters under the
act which he has all along declared
should be final in its results.

mitted suicide by taking carholic
acid. Dependency was the cause. A
series of misfortunes,. during which
he lost a fine farm in North Dakota

caused him to change from a cheer
full, optimistic individual to one who
continually brooded over his ill fate.
On the morning of the suicide, he
and his wife visited his wheat field
and he complained bitterly that it was
not as he expected, and that he was
losing money. He told his wife he
going to the house and kill him
self, but she thought little of. the

found and a search revealed him
lying dead on a bed. He had drunk
a quantity of carbolic acid.
