Washington Letter,
BY Edward Heating,
Congressman-at-Large
From Colorado.
From Colorado.

COlCtGuO Is W Dt COIS dluIdISO
on her representation in the dp-
per house Of Congress. Senators
Thomas and Shafroth constitute
q truly great team. I do not say
this merely because our Senators
happen to be members of the po,
itical company with which af.
ti;iate, but because l believe their
labors have been so varied and
important that they deserve frank
recognation.
] have not much respect for
he pork barrel statesmen
the type of legislator who is al
ways lodging debatable quest
ions and who would trade his i'm
mortal soul for an appropriation
for a new Postoffice in his dis
trict.
Thomas and iShafroth do not
belong to that class and Yet when
it comes to delivering the goods
on matters of peculiar interest
to Colorado, they have made a
record whi.h has probably never
been excellcd.
Shafroth, s action in putting the
hiI' for the relief Of desert land
rntl'ymen as " rider on the
urgency deficiency appropriation
bill was a master stroke and is a
striking example Of the way
Cyiorado's Senators secure results
wl:en they put their shoulders to
t',r legislative wheel.
AS l have stated before; this
Vas the most important piece of
lHMd legislation put through Con-
!-"esS in recent years. Thous-
;nds Of settlers throughout the
West will benefit.
The bill! as drafted by the In
t,.,'ior Department was so liberal
that | very seriously question if
i would have passed the House
il the ordinary way without
amendments intended to devita-
lie it. Shafroth realized this
end determined to attempt the
Unusual - offer it as an amend
mcnt toan appropriation bill.
A single objection would have
defeated the plan, but the Sena-
tors earnest plea for the settlers,
combined with his personal pop
u!arity. triumphed. Once the re.
lief measure was made a part of
the appropriation bill it was easy
for the Western members of the
House to smooth the way for its
passage through that body.
Senators Thomas and Shafroth
are comparatively new members
Of the Senate, but through the
sheer force of their ability and
industry they are already recog-
nized leaders. on every big issue
that comes before the upper
House. 1t is no eXaggeration to
say that if it had not been for
their unfaltering loyalty. Presi-
dent Wilson's programe of tariff
and currency legilation would
have either failed or been emas-
culated.
In the next Congress. it is safe
to predict, they will be even
more influential.

man Harvey Ferguson of New
Mexico deprives the West of one
of its abelest representatives in
the lower House. He will be re-
membered as the author of the
$40 Acre or grazing" homestead
bill.
After a very hard fight he sue
ceeded in putting this bill thru
the House but it died in the Sem
ate. 1t will be reintorduced in
the next Congress and in all
probability will pass, as Fergus
son has dulled the edge of the
opposition. Then someone else
will claim whatever glory at
taches to the enactment on the
legislation, but those who are
familiar with Fergusson's millitan
persistent struggle to aid the set
tiers will always hold him in af-
fectionate esteem as a sta tesman
who served his people faithfully
and we'll.
VROOMAN AND GRAVES.
1t is announced that Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture Carl
Vrooman and Chief Foster H. S.
Graves will make an extended
tour of Colorado during May or
June. These gentleman are the
chef executive officers of the fed
eral forestery service and there
fore jurisdiction over about one
fifth of the surface of our state
Viewed from that angle, n cir
visit is a notable one and may be
productive of important result to
Colorado
Vrooman is looked upon as one
of the ''live wires" Of the Wilson
administrations. He CONES from
Illinois. is a Democrat of the
most progressive type, has writ
ten half a dozen books on travel
and political economy, has circl-
ed the globe SO many times he
has lost count of the trips and,
incid ntally--is one of the
wealthiest farmers of the middle
West. He has turned forty, an |
is so full of energy and ideas that
he promises to revolutionize the
work Of the Agricultural Depart
inert.
Foster Graves is another young
man of great promise. When he
succeeded Clifford Pinchot as
head Of the Forestry Bureau the
west received him coldIy, and
| imagine he was just lit e sus-
picious of the West. All this is
gradually changing. Graves
hio"S IIOIC dUOuI llc "eSl,
than he did five years ago, and
Westerners have discovered that
the frank, clear-eyed young man
is not th,ir enemy. He hls one
of the biggest mobs under the
national Government and he sizes
up to it.
| am convinced that Vrooman
and Graves want the forestry
service to work in harmony with
the people of the West and that
they will do any thing within
reason to remove the causes of
friction. Any individual or group
of individuals with grievance
against the services will have
ample opportunity % present it
while our distinguished visitors
are in Colorado ard they should
not hesitate to come forward and
have their say.
The forestry service is in the
West to stay. let us face the sit
uation and see to it that the ma
tiOnal forests are made a BLESSING

Mr.. Darden began only few years
ago with his native trees. He budded

than anything else, but he soon saw
that there was more money in pecans
than in any other crop produced here
and grated every suited tree on his

Mr. Darden is rapidly growing to
be known as the pecan king Of Okla

stagger the ordinary cotton farmer.
He will probably gather 600 bushels

prices. The season is somewhat

proposed to draw officers for this force

tional guard or the regular army or
who have been trained In private mill

Because Catarrh affects the nose

common practice to treat Catarrh by
lotions, washes and sprays applied to
these parts. This mode of treatment

GREY HOUND
RACE STAGED
ON PRAIR|ES
UNCLE SAM TALlAFERRO ISSUES
OPEN CHALLENGE TO ANY
GREYHOUND OWNER IN CAR
TER COUNTY.

Did you ever witness a greyhound
race? You never did? Well. there
will be one staged on the prairie
just west of Ardmore some of these
days, and the event will be duly an
nounced.
Owners of greyhounds take pride
in their feetness as race horse
owner takes pride in his horses.
When race among these fleet dogs
is arranged, the whole neighborhood
turns out to witness it, Sometimes
as many as fifty long-nosed. lanky
dogs are gathered. There will be as
many as twenty owners, every one
believing steadfastly in the superior
taken, and they scamper off across
the prairie. They do not go very
far until a jack rabbit is raised. The
proud rabbit has the utmost conf
dence in his own speed and he tray
els on three legs until he realizes
he has race that will take all his
legs,-and then generally he loses.
After a silent race for an hour, in
which wire fences are crossed, skirts
of timber are invaded. the prairies
are split wide open. the dogs catch
the prey Mr.. Rabbit cannot outrun
a greyhound. He can get away from
the ordinary dog on three legs, but
long, lanky greyhound can pick
him up on a straight run and break
his bones.
Uncle Sam" Taliaferro. who lives
two and a half miles northeast of
Lone Grove, owns some greyhounds.
He believes they are the fastest in
the entire county Reposing such
faith in the fleetness of his pack as
he does, he has issued challenge to
any owner of fast dogs in the whole
county to meet for a race after a
rabbit. 1t is planned to stage a race
on the prairies, just west OF Ard
more. 1t will be a sight worth see
ing. The greyhound does not make
noise in his chase. 1t is a silent
race, but it is worth the money.
If a greyhound took time to bark
like a cur, or doing the act of bay
ing like the pot hounds, owned by
J. b. Boone, he would never catch a
long-eared jack rabbit.
This challenge of "Uncle Sam" Tai
iaferros is to any man In Carter
county who thinks he has a fast dog
When the date of the race is set
Ardmore people will be notified, and
some of the Ford owners might get
in the running after the try-out has
has been made by the dogs and the
blue ribbon and money awarded
After reading this over, we are
inclined to erase that part which re
fers to pot hounds, but If Mr. Boone
files damage suit for slander OF
his pack. we will retract and call
them by some high-faluting name
that will cause our friends chest to
swell with pride.

Another Kind of Sales

This whole country has had many
public sales in its history, and scarce
ly a week passes now but what one
or more OF them are billed, but the
sales billed now are of different ma
ture from those of several years ago.
Then it was customary for some of
the people to get discouraged, sell
their few belongings and go back east
to live with wlfe's relatives, but
those days are gone and will come no
more. The country is settling up
faster right now than it did during
the early boom days, and class of
substantial farmers is coming in who
have gotten past the speculative per-
iod of life, and who intend to remain
here the balance of their lives. AS
an evidence of the country's growth
right now, we will say that 80 per
cent. of the horse and cattle sales
conducted around here are those of
stock purchased in other parts of the
country and brought here to sell to
our farmers, who need the stock and
are willing to pay good prices for the
