VIGOROUSLY
WORKING FOR
PAYMENT DELAY
WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH THE
RIGHTS OF INDIANS AND WILL
ACCOMMODATE A GREAT MANY
FARMERS.

Congressman Charley Carter thinks
another extension should be granted
on the payments of purchased Choctaw
and Chickasaw unallotted lands, and
has taken the matter up with the Sec
retary of the interior in a vigorous
manner.
Sometime before leaving Washing.
ton last spring, Mr.. Carter suggested
to the authorities the necessity for
an extension of the annual install
ments due this fall No decision was
at that time reached in the premises.
In view of the low price received for
cotton last year and the loss of a
large portion of the grain crop this
summer, the Oklahoma congressman
is of the opinion that to enforce the
payment of the full amount this fall
would cause great 0any farmers TO
lose their homes.
The delay of the payments will not
Interfere Wltn lne IlshlS VI tlle III
dians for the reason that no payment
is to be made this year, and no pay
ment can be made until congress
meets again and provides by appro-
priation for a payment to the Indians.
All purchasers of lands will appre
ciate the activity of Mr. Carter to OBJ
tain delay in the payment and since
such an act cannot interfere with the
rights of any person but will only put
a greater amount of money to the
credit of the Indian from interest col
lections, it is reasonable to presume
that favorable action will be taken.

STAND PAT
ON TELEPHONE
RATE CASE
MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION
ERS LAST NIGHT AGREED THAT
CASE NOW PENDING WOULD BE
PROSECUTED TO THE END.

That the city is going to stand pat
on the question of telephone rates
and service, also that they are not
going to withdraw the suit now pend
ing before the corporation commission
was made plain at the meeting of the
city commissioners last night when a
letter from the head office of the
Pioneer Company at Oklahoma City
was read asking the commissioners
to name a committee to confer with
the engineer of the company as to
how the $4,000 in improvements they
proposed to spend would result if the
case was dropped.
The mayor and commissioners were
unanimous that the case would not be
dismissed and that they were going to
insist on better service than the com
pany is now giving the people of this
city. They are also of the opinion
that if the local equipment is made
quate that they can be compelled
to spend the money for such i'm
provements as are needed anyhow,
and do not propose to compromise
with the company on any such terms.
Mayor Mullen returned from Okla
homa City yesterday where he was
in conference with the corporation
commission, and a decision in the
case is expected soon. The mayor is
in receipt of complaints daily over the
service, not the cost Of the service,
but the manner in which their calls
are delayed, he says that he is of the
opinion that the force is inadequate
to handle the local business and should
be enlarged, however, he hopes for
settlement of all these difficulties
in the near future. and together with
the four commissioners is working to
that end.

COUNTY AND
CITY PLAN To
USE CONV|CTS
MAYOR AND BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONER ARE MAKING
PLANS TO SECURE SERVICES
OF FIFTY STATE CoNVlCTS.

Mayor Mullen and the board of
county commissioners are laying
plans to work fifty state convicts up
on the roads of the county and the
city streets. Last night at a meeting
of the board of city commissioners a
resolution was passed appropriating
$500 for the maintenance of the con-
victs while at work on the city streets.
1t is now proposed that $1,000 be ap-
propriated from each commissioner
district for the same purpose, and the
mayor is confident that he can raise
by popular subscription at least $500
more. This money, together with
what feed stuff will be donated for
the teams will keep the convicts ac-
lively engaged in building the roads
of this county and would insure them
being permanent.
The roads must be built under the
direction of the department of high
ways which furnishes the engineer
for the work and must be laid off
and designated as state roads, and a
guarantee given that they will be
maintained by the county after they
are built.
The mayor met with the commits
sioners this morning, and they agreed
to give him a definite answer as soon
as they adjourned and had checked up,
to determine the financial condition
of each of the commissioners dist
tricts.
The mayor is confident that under
this plan the roads of the county and
the streets of the city can be made
permanent at a minimum of cost, and
the continual raising of funds for max
ing temporary repairs after each rainy
spell would cease.

German Ammunition Shortage.

London, Aug. 4.-The stubborn re.
sistance which the Russians are Of
fering to the Austro-Germans and
the slowness with which the forces
of the invaders have been able to
move during the last few days, has
led to the belief in some quarters
that the German supply of ammuni-
tion is beginning to feel the effect of
the protracted struggle, and that Rus
sia may yet save the Polish capital.
Previous experience with German
tactics, however, has been that tenn
porary slowing down was followed
soon by greater efforts, and when
Field Marshal Won Mackensen has
concluded his present operations in
the southeast, Field Marshal Won Hin,
denburg, it is expected, will renew
his heavy blows on the Narew front.
For the morent, therefore, the
greatest interest attaches to the
southeast, where, according to Tues
day nights Berlin official report, the
Germans have extended their bridge
head positions south of Warsaw; the
Austrians have gained a decisive
success west OF Ivmgorod and Won
Mackensen, after meeting with con-
siderable resistance, has broken the
Russian line east of Lecza and north
of Chelm.
Similar successes have been gain
ed by the Germans in Courland and
in the direction of Lomza To the
minds of many military men, the
Courland operations which General
van Buelow is directing, are iraught
with the greatest danger TO the Rus
slams, as a big victory for the Ger
mans in this region would enable
them to move across the railways
