NEW PLANS FOR
COUNTY FAIR
THOUGHT BEST TO SUBMIT
QUESTION TO PEOPLE AT
NEXT ELECTION.

The question of an extra levy ror
county fair purposes will in all
probability be left up to the people
at the next general election.
1t was thought that special cleo
tion might be held for this purpose
that the fair might be held this
fall but after due consideration
it seems to be the opinion of those
most interested that it will be bet
ter to submit the question at the
next election and eliminate what
ever expense a special election
would entail upon the taxpayers of
the county.
In the meantime the question will
be thoroughly explained to the voters
of the county so that they will have
ample time in which TO study it
thoroughly and it is believed when
submitted for their approval they
will heartily approve of the plan
at the polls.

Is Appropriation Available?

Oklahoma City, Okla, Jan. 15.-lt
developed today that none Of the
capitol building appropriation OF
$750,O0O is available, and will not
be until Oklahoma City pays into
the state treasury something like
$53 900, representing the balance due
on the free rent offer made when
the seat of government was brought
here from Guthrie. Members of the
citizens committee said tonight ar
rangements are being made to COM
plete the payment, and it would ne
done in a short time. One item in
the appropriation is 100000, to be
borrowed from the game protection
fund. Members of the state sports
mems association threaten to insti-
tute proceedings to prevent this funt
which it is claimed is va trust fund
from being diverted for capito
building purposes. Such suit would
only affect that portion of the tota
appropriation.
Members of the state capitol COM
mission said tonight they would no
have more than three employees as {
starter. There are 800 applications
for positions on file.

SPLENDID PROMISE
SAY CREDIT MEN
PREDICTING AN ERA OF PROS
PERlTY TO THE WHOLE COUN-
TRY.

Chicago, H., Jan 1j.-There is
no longer cloud of any descrip-
tion of the financial horizon, accord
ing to the leading credit men OF
the United States, who are holding
a conference in this city, at which
the business outlook has been one
of the big topics of discussion.
The fundamental changes that have
been made in the laws affecting
business will, the credit men declare,
tend to foster a period of pros
perity that will stand out in pleas
ing contrast to the last six months
of partial depression and large fail
ure liabilities. The establishment
of the federal banking reserve syr-
tenn, if kept out of politics and or
ganized strictly along business lines,
will help to prevent amy financial
crisis in the future, they assert.
The two sources of danger in the
new banking and currency law are
held to be politics, and the posi-
bilities of initiation, which would
encourage speculative eXCesses and
bring about various economic ills
that always result therefrom.
Fred r. Salisbury of St. Paul,
president of the National Associa-
ton of Credit Men, said today:
"The federal banking reserve sys-
tenn will be the means, believe, of
enabling all who are entitled to the
extension of credit, means of OBJ
tanning accommodation, but it is
not going to open up indiscriminate
lending or the extending of credit to
those who are not deserving of it,
mo commercial period has caused
mCl % be more thoughtful than that
through which this country has just
passed" said S. J. H. Treagoe of
New York
Whatever feeling of depression
there has been in the last six
months or so" sail Mr.. Treagoe,
has been the result of the period
of readjustment and reconstruction
of financial and business conditions.
The fundamental changes in our
laws have been more potent, the
average business man discovered.
Now that these laws are in effect,
expect to see a steady improve
ment in business. There is no cloud
on the horizon or cause for alarm

INDICTMENTS AGAINST S1Rlk-

CARRYING WEAPONS.
ONE MORE INDICTMENT
No Action by the Grand Jury on
the Meyer Deportation Case-No
Attempt Will Be Made to Arrest
Meyer Unless He Returns.

Houghtin, Mich, Jan. 16.-The
mystery of the secret indictments
returned yesterday by the grand
jury investigating the strike dis
orders, were cleared today with
the arrest of four strikers charged
with carrying concealed weapons.
Only one more indictment re-
mains sealed and there was nothing
today on which to base prediction as
to the jury's action in the Meyer
deportation case.
1t is probable that no attempt will
be made to secure the arrest and
extradition of Meyer and the others
indicted on misdemeanor charges,
who are now beyond the courts
jurisdiction and these warrants VIII
be served only if they return to
Houghton county.

Delegate Wickersham Of Alaska cham

crs of the project thought tonight the
bills would pass both houses, probably
early next week. Some delay may be
caused, however, by an amendment
offered by Senator Norris to provide
for a government owned steamship
line from Alaska to Pacific coast
ports and to the Atlantic via the Pa
mama canal. This proposal was not
touched upon today.

Coal Land Leases Into Senate.

Disposition of the coal lands with.
drawn by executive order of Presi.
dent Roosevelt, entered into the sen
ate debate Commenting upon pend
ing bills providing for the leasing OF
at least a portion of these. Senator
Walsh said:
"The withdrawal order of 1906 mer-
its universal commendation, but to
keep these vast resources locked up
now approaches the gravity of a
crime"
Estimating that the government
would need at least 100000 tons of
coal annually on the Pacific for ma
val purposes, Senator Walsh said the
cost of transporting this amount Of
coal from Atlantic ports would itself
amount to more than $1,500,000 the
greater part of that sum going to
foreign ship owners. With the build
ing OF only twenty-five miles of rail
road to the Bering fields of Alaska
this could be saved, he said, and the
cost of construction repaid in one

Cabinet Expects Peace.

Washington, Sept. 80. - President
Wilson and his cabinet took up the
question of bringing the American
troops back from Vera Cruz.
1t is understood that the whole Mex.
lean situation was canvassed and an
attitude of strict neutrality on the
part of this government, toward the
new situation in the republic was de.
termined.
1t is admitted that while theoreti.
cally the Carranza-Villa break will not
change the plans of the administra-
ton to evacuate Vera Cruz, it most
likely will result in delaying the act
ual withdrawal.
Prospects for peace in Mexico were
brighter, in the view of the admins
tration officials, because of the formal
announcement from General Villa
that he would not be candidate fol
president or vice president.
This dispatch, which came to the
state department from Consul Car.
rothers, at Chihuahua City, doubled
the hopes that the differences would
be adjusted satisfactorily at the con-
ference to be held at Zacatecas on
Thursday.
