writer. During the time he served
in the national congress as represen-
tative from Kansas he wrote among
other things Labor. Land and Law,
book which long had an extensive
sale. But what he designed as a
crowning work of his career was "A
History OF the Cherokee People. As
has beent mentioned, his knowledge
OF Cherokee history was extensive,
and in order to verify certain matters
connected with their very early his
tory he had an expert search made
of the royal archives at Madrid,
Spain. as well as securing informa-
ton from French and English
sources. one small volume In manu-
script was secured from Madrid at a
cost OF more than $1,000, This rare
volume contained an exact and au-
thentic account of the meeting with
the early Cherokees in the mountains
of the Atlantic seaboard by the DE
Soto expedition in l540. The old sol

work at once, but circumstances pre-

found was dead. He had frozen To

of those known as good roads states
Whenever these conventions nave petn
held a desire for better roads has lu;-
lowed-a desire that has been packed
up by action.
In the 27 years of its existence the
people of this state nave Decn so pusy
establishing themselves that state de-
yelopment, including road building,
has been largely left TO take care OF
itself. From following Indian tralls
and COW paths in the early days to the
time when farmers of the new sta-S
laid out and made passahle roads on
section lines. this important brahch OIL
state building was pretty much hap
hazard business. During the last Ie"
years many sections of the state nave
begun to follow systematic methods la
their road building, but not until'auto-
mobile travel became such Il factor IN

Three Kouics.
AT this time three routes from
northeast to southwest, paralleilhE
each other. are in competition in an
effo,t to secure the official mark of
the ozark trail, which will he INK

mark is keenly sought for the heaNy
automobile travel and its consequent
prosperous results. Each of these
ihree routes are scenes of activity, ana
It is said by those in position TO
know that more e-an one Thousand
miles of very excellent roadway Is
bound To be the result. The routes

roads between oklahoma City and
Amarillo is completed and reSdy for
the inspectors. Before June, how
ever. when the inspectors go over these
routes. the enterprising road builders
assert. these roads will each be Ike
boulevards.
Rivalry between the tentative routes
between Tulsa and oklahoma CITY Is
no less keen, although at this time
the work of putting the roadways IN
shape is not so far advanced. organ'-
zations in every town on each or ino
three competing lines have been per-
fected and work is going forward rap
idly. Many miles of these good roads
are now in a high state OF excellence
Delegations from each of these
routes will come to the Ozark trails
convention in large numbers TO pre-
sent the advantages offered by their
respective lines Headquarters for
this purpose will be established at va
rious hotels and pictures and literature
descriptive of the routes will be freely
dispensed.

HAVANA, Jan. 20.-Prominent lead
ers of the Liberal party, who are op-
posed to the action of the Conservatives
in re-nominating President Menocal, on
the ground that the principal of re-elec-

discussing secretly a proposal to re-

lowed by uprisings that eliminated in
the revolution of 1906, and the second

which attracted much attention at the
time of the triumph of the reelection
lists in the Conservative party on Mon

REPUBLICAN SENATORS
STIR MEXICAN PROBLEM
Democratic Members Are
Equally Determined to
Back President
CBy Associated Press }

v ASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-Intention or
senate Republicans to continue to press
for legislative action on the situation
in Mexico, despite the determination of
the Democrats to prevent such a step
at present, and reports from the border
of plans for new revolution in Mexico,
were developments in the situation to-
day.
Another development was the an
nodncement of the issuance by General
Carranza of a decree formally proclaim
ing Francisco Villa, Pablo Lopez and
Rafael Castro outlaws because of the
massacre of American citizens at Santa
Ysabel, and authorizing execution of the
outlaws without formality by any citi-
zen of Mexico. The announcement was
made through the Mexican embassy.
In insisting on action in the Mexican
situation, the minority urge that it Is
the senate's duty to adopt q more ar
gressive step and contend that the coun-
try demands it. In opposing action at
this stage the minority urge that the
situation be left for the president to
handle.
The fact that the Republicans propose
20 keep the issue before the senate Is
seen in the announced intention of SEN
ator Sherman, of Illinois, to call I'D TO-
day his resolution asking the president
for information as to whether the United
States entered into agreement with South
