LATE SUMMER
SOCIETY NOTES
AUGUST SAW NO ABATEMENT IN
DELIGHTFUL SUMMER
AFFAIRS.
September viii See Gradual Return
TO Winters Prosrsm-Vseation-
lists Are Returning.

No abatement OF the many pretty
summer parties was noticeable during
August. although there was a dearth
OF the larger entertainments. With
so many OF the society folk away for
the month II was quite TO be expected
the smaller affairs would be more in
favor. No great dullness was appar-
ent all during the month with the
many weddings. dates of which fell
during the midsummer weeks and
the numberless affairs for the brides
elect. which the engagement an
nouncements brought in their train.
Now with September at hand and
the weddings scheduled for that
month. the many schools and colleges
opening their doors TO claim the vaca-
tionists. these will round the next few
weeks into the gradual return Of the
winters program.

July 31.-Thc past week has been a

quently Mrs. Fred T.. sutton, in charge

own expense.
Charles Page and wife Of Tulsa
called at the Oklahoma building a few
days ago with a few Of the children
from the Page home at Sand Springs
who were brought to the fair by Mr..
Page in a private railroad coach. He
expressed great satisfaction at what
he saw and the manner in which Mrs.
sutton is promoting the states inter
csts here, without any funds to do it
with. He felt that the exhibits were
extensive enough, but did not
blame Mrs. Sutton for this shortage.
Mr.. Page suggested that Mrs. sutton
write the Waters Pierce Oil company
Of st. Louis. for products and by
products of oil and have them sent
here TO be displayed in the Oklahoma
building. He also spoke Of sending a
display Of canned goods from his Sand

Federal Trade Commission
Gets Hold of Some
Startling Facts.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Some
startling facts, coupled with some
good advice, have been laid before the
federal trade commission in its in
vestigation into conditions in the lum-
Der industry.
The disadvantages under which
American lumbGrmeu are now doing
business embrace, first Of all, a dis
tinct element in favor Of Canadian
timber land wner in the matter Of
freight rates, it being shown that. the
Canadians, by reason Of their STRAIT
ogical location, can send lumber into
the United states by the lake route in
foreign bottoms and make delivery
for 50 a thousand feet to cities like
Milwaukee, Chicago, Bay City, De
trOit, Toledo. Cleveland, Buffalo, Ton
AMANDA and New York, while the av-
Crage cost Of transporting the same
grades of lumber by railway from
Wisconsin or Minnesota is from $3.50
to So a thousand, or about 200 per
cent greater than from Canada. In
some instances this advantage in
freight rates is nearly 500 per cent
in the Canadians favor.
In addition to this. labor in Can
ada averages fully Is per cent cheaper
than in the United states. To ag-
cravate the situation. Canada offers
nothing in the way Of reciprocal re

who knows Bully" Smith, a sporty
negro gambler from Tulsa?
Local police say they never heard
Of him, but he landed good and
strong in the Kansas city newspapers
a few days ago and insisted that his
home was Tulsa.
When detectives in Kansas City saw
him walking away from the Union
station they became suspicious. They
arrested him.
In the office of Larry Client, chief
Of detectives. the negro said he was a
harmless gambler who owned a gam
bling hall in Tulsa and was on his
way to the San Francisco exposition
to take in the sights. He also said
that his "dignified was injury that
he'd have the law ON EN-" and that
he'd bought the diamond he wore

was a perfectly square gambling house
and that's what prevented him from
getting rich enough to buy a larger
diamond than the cheap. little old
stud he wore which cost only 500.

DO NOT ENFORCE LAW
Three Million Dollars APP
preparation Allowed
to Lapse.

WASHINGTON, y c., Aug. Z.
The safety Of millions Of dollars
worth of the nations timber supply
has been jeopardized by democratic
neglect,
An authorized appropriation of
three million dollars for preventing
forest fires and kindred purposes, pro-
vided for in what is known as the
Weeks law was allowed to lapse
because of the careless failure Of the
last Democratic congress to carry out
the mandate Of a former law,
The Weeks law was enacted to
enable the federal government to CO.
operate with the states to secure pro-
lection from forest fircso 1t author
lied appropriations up TO eleven mill
lions to carry it's purpose into effect.
Based upon carefully drawn plans, it
provided for the purchase Of lands
at the headWaters of naVigable
streams, to aid navigation and the
regulation Of stream flow, and
thereby promote forest protection.
Fire destroys the soil covering in
a forest says the forestry report ON
the plan of the Weeks law. This
causes rapid run-Off ON steep slopes
and erosion results. The soil thus
washed out is the chief source Of
sediment in the channels Of navig-
able streams. Forest fires, there
fore, cause ~irreguIarity Of stream
flow and loss of navigability, This
calls for active assistance from the
federal government, and section > Of
the Weeks Law is designed to author
