is the best that we can hope for, but
this does not remove the criticism for
the failure to keep the expenses for
building within the appropriations
provided for that purpose. The idea
of starting out to construct building
with half of the requirements left out
always gives rise to suspicious that
somebody is beating the devil around
the bush and putting something
over" that cannot be confided to the
public. The removal of the high
school site, whether right or wrong
has gotten the district into the sit
uation where it is going to have to
have more funds to make up for the
loss which the change entailed and
complete the high school building
even in time for occupancy in 1917.

Several positions have been taken by
the courts relative to the possessio on

of the western Oklahoma district held
that possession did not constitute an

Judge Cotteral held in conformity

however, it Ia contended that the

referring the matter to the people

it is not likely that this record will
be changed where the people are in

HOT WEATHER BAD
ON TULSA HORSES
Humane Agent Says Driy-
ers Have No Thought
Of Dumb Brutes.

The protrastcd heat wave that has
held Tulsa in it's grasp for the past
several days hHs made it imperative
for Humane Agent \. VI. WClCh to
watch the drivers Of horses with an
ever vigilant eye. Complaints have
been numerous regarding the treat
ment of horses and stock and a great
deal of the attention Of the Humane
society is being directed to looking
after the animals.
I'VE are having more trouble right
at the present time than during the
pas' SIX months" said Woloh yestcr-
day. DRIVERS are overloading and
taxing the poor beasts in every way
and without thought Of doing any
thing to give them some comforts as
they work all day in a broilinE sun.
Il spend st of my time on the
streets now watching the horses and
drivers ynd II keeps me busy all of the
time. / am the friend of the horses
and it Will not be for lack Of effort
on my part or the part of the Humane
society If the hrutes do not receive
protection.
Need Straw Hats.
The best way To assist the horse
during these hot days is to place straw
hats on their heads. Many drivers
have already attended to this but
am informed that the supply now in
the stores is very limited. There will
be several large shipments receiN cd
within the next day or so and the so
cicty will furnish the hats free to
drivers who cannot afford to buy
them"
SO far there have been ne heat
prostrations reported.
Throughout yesterday there were
calls for milk and ice. Several cash
donations were received during the
day for this purpose and every worthy
cause is responded to promptly.
Arrangements will be made tC fur
nish those who must have milE and
who live off the route of the dairy
wagons in isolated parts Of the city to
obtain what they need from nearby
grocery stores.
The society is pressed to its utmost
to care for the needs OF the sick and
battles while unSpGring efforts in he
half of the hCrses are being and will
continue to be put forward.
