CONSOLIDATION Of
INDIAN OFFICES
NOT YET A FACT - CARTER BE-
LIEvES HIS AMENDMENT WILL
BECOME LAW.

Washington, May 1.-The Carter
amendment providing for a consoli-
dation of the Muskogee Indian Of
fees and change of head, is not yet
out of the woods. The senate COM
mittee on Indian affairs has report
ed same favorabiy, but by divided
vote.
Warren X. Moorehead of the Board
of Indian commissioners appeared
before the senate committee, insist
ing that the salvation of the Okla
homa Indian could only be worked
out by Superintendent Kelsey and
that no change should be made in
the office. NJ l.. Mott, deposed
Creek national attorney, also pre-
sented himself and uncorkeG his
wrath against the good citizenship
of Oklahoma. Replies were made
by Congressman Carter and Daven-
port, in which the former Creek
attorneys neglect of duty was shown
up.
The fact that the amendment was
reported by the senate committee
by divided vote indicates that a
stiff fight may be expected against
it on the floor of the senate in
which the old story of the integ
rity of Oklahoma citizenship, its
representatives and state and coun-
ty officials will be rehashed and re-
viewed Senators Gore and owen

District foreman Charley Stewart
of the Magnolia Pipe Line Co. has
transferred the camp equipments of
the company from Healdton to Alvord
Texas, and II. II. Johnson has been
transferred from Wilson to Alvord
with his teams to string the pipe.
The pipe line work between TT. Worth
and Alvord is being rushed with all
haste and will be finished by June

stated that it would be completed be.
fore July / hut for some reason the
work is being rushed. Four steel
storage tanks are under construction
now in Fort Worth on the MagnOlia's
tank farm and refinery site there.
This work is all being done for the
care of the Healdton crude. We have
no information to warrant state
ment of this kind but there is a prob.
ability that the Magnolia people sus-
pect that they cannot fill all their
orders from Mexican crude which
they have under contract and they
are looking to the Healdton field for
enough oil to meet the demands that
will he made upon them. There is
chance that the conditions that now
exist in Mexico will result in stop

Senators Pittman of Nevada and Fall

the change before The committee.

Ii is estimated in the Usage country
that the number of cattle to be pas
tured there this season will be less
than the number of last season by
at least 100000 head. There will
be only 5000 sheep this year, as
compared with 10000 last year. One
of the cases of the reduction is the
cutting up of the range, that is
noted a little more each year.

of the road from Galveston and Oliv-
er Snyder, division superintendent of
Cleburne arrived here yesterday af-
ternoon in their private car and left

that his trip at this time had no spe-

the Companys oil fields here for some
time and he came to see the fields,
and while here would visit the Heald-

promise to be among the largest in
the country. He states that he has
a score or more-of letters from com
panics and from individuals who want
to sell the Santa Fe crude oil from
the Ilealdton field No contracts as
yet have been made but there is a
chance that contracts Of this kind will

One Of the large producers in speak
ing of storing oil in the field said it
was frequently remarked that the pro
dncers would see the time when they
would accept 25c a barrel for the
crude in storage. This producer said
his company was storing oil and that
they expected to get from soc to 90c
barrel for it, 1t is possible that the
oil will have TO be held a couple OF
years but they will hold it until the
price does get right This producer
IS not discouraged over the situation,
but says a little Patience will be re-
Quired.

duction will be stopped. Officials of
Mexico are making efforts to have the
oil fields about Tampico declared in
neutral territory for the protection of
the stored oil, but there is a chance
that bands of outlaws will destroy the
stored oil there at any time. Mr.. Car
roll, the government man here, is of
the opinion that Mexican crude will
continue to be shipped but the fall

once our people are awakened to
the necessity for cooperation in all

1t is high time we were getting

Lubbock and vicinity are mastering
the idea of cooperation about as

Some Southwest
ern Reflections

With Thanksgiving approach
ing, it is pertinent to inquire how
many Southwest Louisiana farmers
are prepared with fat three-dollar
turkey cocks to meet the demands
of local epicures and those of New
Orleans. Houston and Beaumont?
Suppose every farmer had even
one hundred fat turkeys for sale
now; he wouldn't have to give his
cotton away for six cents a pound.
Suppose, in addition, every
farmer had half dozen litters of
six-months old pigs, eight to the
litter and each pig weighing $50
pounds. With corn and cow-peas
and sweet potatoes and pumpkins
ripe in the fields, another fifty
pounds could be added within
thirty days and there would be a
year supply of breakfast and side
bacon, hams, sausage, lard and
head cheese. besides a considerable
surplus to bring in Christmas cash.
Are you in on this? If not, do you
yourself a real farmer
Still we haven't mentioned beef
and dairy cattle, which mo real
farm can be without, small bunch
of sheep, and blooded colt or two.
Do you consider that you have any
right TO complain about hard
times, if you have neglected these
elementary accessories of any in
Abbeville progress. (Abbeville, Vermilion Parish, La.) 1913-1944, 1914-11-07

stitution that can lay reasonable
claim to the dignity of farm?
Now about this Bureau. Do YOU
feel the need of an outstanding
central organization which towers
above petty political strife, neigh
borhood pickering and sectional
divisions, pointing the way to
better community and home life,
to higher ideals, to more practical
schools, to better rural develop
ment, and that acts like an in
surance policy against the things
that make against Southwest
Louisiana's prosperity?
President Chappuis met a group
of live ones among the directors of
the Bureau on October 3Oth in one
of the most interesting conferences
which has taken place during the
life of this Bureau. Every member
present was alive and full of zeal.
Great things were planned for the
next sixty days. The Bureau is to
be enlarged and extended so as to
serve the people, to be at their
ready call every moment of the
time. From henceforth its business
is going to be to Danish hard times
in Southwest Louisiana and to
make things hum.
This is indeed a mans task, and
those who join in to rescue South
west Louisiana will inscribe their
names among those that were not
born to die.
Are you going to have a share
in the monumental work we are
setting out to do, or will you write
yourself down among the drones
and shirkers9 The challenge is to
you. for remember, such op-
portunity will pass this way put
once.

THE ENORMOUS COST

England is making loan of a billion
and quarter of dollars to carry on the
war. The prime minister estimates that
the cost of one years war will be 45O
millions of pounds.-These figures are
too large for the average mind to grasp
at once,-and this is the cost to England
alone, which at least for the present has
by far the least men in the field. When
figures are compared with the number
of men in the field from France, Austria,
Germany and Russia, not to mention a
half dozen smaller countries, the money
cost of the war is SO stupendous that one
can but wonder where the money will
come from. To great extent If not al.
together, this enormous expenditure is
not only wasted, but Is used for the sole
purpose of destroying other property as
we'll as mems lives.
The demand for money will perhaps
have as much: if not more, influence in
bringing peace than the lack of men.
