GOV. JOHNSTON
To WASHINGTON
FOR INDIANS
WILL RENDER ASSISTANCE TO
OKLAHOMA CONGRESSMEN IN
TRIBAL AFFAIRS - INDIANS
ASK PAYMENT.

Governor Douglas II. Johnston was
here last night, en- route from his
home at Emet to Oklahoma city. He
said as far as he understood the
Treaty Rights association at its
meeting here November "A would
take up the matter of tribal pay
ments and do what it can toward OBJ
tanning a distribution of tribal funds
among he Indians.
Governor Johnson will go TO Wash.
ington in December when congress
convenes and will spend the session
there. He says that in order to get
any legislation at all it requires a
vast amount of educational work
among the congressman They have
big things to think about and are
often engrossed in matters that affect
their own states, and it is difficult to
get them to realize that the gov
ernment is dealing unfairly with its
wards out in Oklahoma. The gov
ernment has on deposit to the credit
of the Indians a large sum of money
but it is like pulling eyeteeth even
to get any of that money paid out
to the individual Indians.
1t is probable that the Treaty
Rights association at its meeting
here will send one or more delegates
to Washington to assist Governor
Johnst5n' II is believed that the hard
fight made last year by Congressman
Carter and Murray will result in
the Mississippi Choctaw

FRANK SCIVAlLY FUNERAL
Vast Throng of Friends Was Beautiful
Tribute to the Deceased

The large gathering of people yes
terday afternoon at the funeral of
Frank Scivally was a splendid tribute
to the worth of the man. The floral
offerings were very beautiful. The city
has had a wonderful growth of roses
and chrysanthemums this fall and the
flower wagon was fairly loaded with
these flowers which had been given
by friends of the family. One of the
prettiest bouquets was given by the
Sophomores of the High School by the
class mates of Miss Lucille Scivally,
whose father it was who passed away.
Frank Scivally came to Indian Ter
ritory in 1899 He had been left an
orphan boy and he fought against odds
in making every progressive step. He
was good business man and his
word was good with every business
man in this section of the state. He

CAMPAIGN FOR NEW MEMBERS
STARTS THIS MORNING WITH
THE COMMITTEE IN KEEN COM.
PETITION.

The committee of ten, selected to
secure new members for the Com.
mercial club met with its chairman.
Kirk Dyer. yesterday evening and
the plans for the canvass were made
and will be carried out today and to-
morrow, and every man not on the
roster of the organization will be
seen If possible before Thursday at
five o'clock and be given the privilege
OF joining.
Every member of the committee
was on hand with two exceptions,
who were unavoidably detained, and
those present went forth with deter
mination to strike while the iron
is hot"
One member of the committee vol.
unteered to buy a Stetson hat for the
member securing the most new mem.
bers, and he incidentally remarked
that he could make the offer with
safety, as he expected to win it
himself. but Immediately after the
meeting the balance present held a
offer was a "cinch" to them-each
and every one, severally. There is
no question but what an aggressive
campaign for membership will be
made, and it is being urged that all
desiring membership do not wait on
the committee, but call up Secretary
West and volunteer their names and
services in the cause of a bigger
and better Ardmore and Carter
county.
Much interest is being manifested
in the smoker TO be given on the
night of the Goth, and the commit
tees will have something of interest
to tell the members of the Chamber
of Commerce.
The question Of a pipe line and Of
a passable road to the oil fields is Of
vital Importance TO the future wei

men of Ardmore are not going to
let another opportunity pass Of Sc
curing both The bond issue was
an absorbing topic yesterday and
today, and while some men are op-
posed to a bond issue for any pur
pose whatever, they will be in a
helpless minority when it comes to
deciding the question by ballot, and
the line and road will be built. Most
of the argument against the municipal
pipe line is headed by the fact that
the only municipality owned plant in
the city is a yeritable gold mine,
and is not only paying its own way,
but doing much toward maintaining
other departments At the smoker
all this will be reported upon and the
legal phases of the question pre-
sented.

conjectured. Whether storm. ice,
derelict or internal explosion wrought
her ruin is untold. The catastrophe
to her consort, the Arctic, IS months
previously, which sank from collision
with a collier off Cape Race and car
ried down with her 1892 persons, can
not strictly be classed among mysteri-
GUS wrecks. but the two tragedies were
the prime cause Of putting the Collins
line out of business.
The following years brought dozen
more mysteries of the deep. 1t was
not until 1870 that the world was
again aroused to the horror of whole
sale deaths. The Inman liner City of
Boston sailed from the city bearing
her name to Halifax, arriving there
three days later and sailing again on
January 20. One hundred and ninety
one human beings vanished with the
ship.
Still disappearance are not the only
form Of disaster to ships. But in most
instances the rule-"women and chill
dren first"-is observed. On Febru-
airy 26, 1852, in Algoa bay, Cape Col
ony, South Africa, the troopship Birk-
enhead, carrying British soldiers and
their families, struck a reef and went
down. Six hundred men died bravely,
but all the women and children were
saved From this originated the
"Birkenhead drill through which the
weaker are sent to safety first.
The largest loss of life recorded in
any modern sea disaster was one on
December 81, 1911, when the British
ships st. George, Defense and Hero
were stranded during hurricane near
Jutland and 1000 lost their lives. Next
in number was the Titanic, with 1875;
the Sultana, with LOO; General Slo-
cum and the Japanese steamship
Kickemaru, with 1000 each; Princess
Alice sunk in a collision in the River
/ Thames, 700; Norge, stranded, with
700; another steamship Of the same
name foundered in midocean with
about as many.
The Sultana horror was one Of the
greatest in inland shipping history. II
was obscured by the assassination OF
President Lincoln, and the public
aside from those Immediately inter
ested, paid little attention to the
catastrophe, in which LOO lost theil
lives.
In all times, in all climes, the vas'
depths of the sea claim their moiety
of humanity. The toll must be pait
so long as men go down to the sea
And human ingenuity capable of the
impossible finds that it's control of the
ocean stops with the shore"-Nep
tune is still king!

Eluo.uatlon In currant Trade.

Hollands tulip craze recalls the
rush which developed in Greece some
thing like thirty-five years ago, when
landowners staked their all on the fu-
ture of currants. After the vineyards
of France had been ravaged by phyl-
loxera, there sprang up a great de-
mand from that country for Greek
currants to be used in wine-making,
and prices scared to heights never be-
fore known in the currant trade IN
der this stimulus Greek landowners
all through the currant-producing
provinces uprooted their olive groves
and planted the lands to currants, un-
til within few years the acreage had
far more than doubled. Then France,
having found means to combat the
phylloxera, placed upon currants a
prohibitive import duty, thereby per-
manently shutting off from Greek cur
rant growers the market whose de-
mands had stimulated them to in
creased production. Immediate sup
ply overtopped demand in the worlds
currant market-this district, which
supplies the worlds currants, was pro-
ducing 80 per cent more fruit than
It could dispose of. Prices fell pre-
cipitately, and for decades the currant
trade was In bad condition.

Admiral Won Tirpitz, at the head OF
the German navy, and whose name
has figured prominently in the news
of the day since the sinking Of the
Lusitania, started Germany on the
path of navalism in 1898. He has lit

has been rapid. At twenty he was

MAKE DOLLARS FROM DUST
Very Little Is Allowed to Remain Use
less In This Day Of Scientific
knowledge.

Save the useless waste! That Is
the new policy of progressive metal
and coal mining managers in the
United States; and 1t is based on the
theory that what Is useless today may
become worth much money tomorrow.
Coal screenings, for instance, must be
carefully saved in piles, which will be
handy for future use when inventors
perfect practical way of getting val
liable heat out of them.
A Pennsylvania coal mining COM
pany is applying the idea to the ex-
treme. From its anthracite coal mines
vast quantities of coal have been
shipped to market, but millions of tons
of screenings have accumulated for
many years. These culm piles were
considered to be worthless, and coal
ashes and other refuse were dumped
on them. At the present time, how
ever, the very small sizes of anthra-
cite, down to a sixteenth Of an inch
in diameter, can all be sold profitably;
so the company is digging out the
SuAAh piCS anu oAAIAh6 IuO OAu WooS0
for salable coal.
The managers know 1t will not be
long before even the flue dust may do
good work under boilers and sell at
fair figure; therefore the new culm
piles resulting from the present sitting
operations have been carefully
planned to be handy and in good shape
for selling whenever the inventors sue
coed in making it profitable.
Dust from the chimneys of cop
per smelter is not now of much value,
as a general rule, because there is no
economical way of recovering the cop
per, zinc, silver and gold in the dust;
but great quantities of this fine dust
are collected in modern shelters, in
an attempt to prevent the smelter
fumes from bothering neighboring
farmers. The dust is useless and
gathers so fast that much money is
expended in disposing Of it.
A California smelter company has
discovered just how much copper, gold
and other metals are carried away in
fiue dust. There is enough to make
every ton valuable it, somebody could
invent an easy way to extract the met
