Oklahoma.

Oklahoma had it's beginning SS years
ago, when Indian territory was formed
as a permanent home for the redskins.
The Cherokees were removed to the
future prosperous state in 1885, and
were soon followed by the Choctaws,
Creeks, Chickasaws and Seminoles
These constituted the five civilized
tribes. Many of their descendants
have become wealthy and influential
citizens.
In addition to the "fve civilized
tribes" other Indians were given
lands in the territory. In 1865 the
Greeks coded the western part Of
their territory, and the Seminoles all
of theirs to the United States, and
these were incorporated with No
Mans Land into the territory of Ok
1ahoma.
Indian territory maintained a sep
arate government under its original
form until 1906, when it was incor-
porated with Oklahoma and admitted
as a state of the Union.

Meteors.

Meteors ordinarily become visible
at a height of 100 miles above the
earth, but are generally dissipated be-
fore reaching % miles from the sur
face. About one-third of the number
of elemental substances which go to
make up the earth's crust are found
as constituents of meteors, among
these being iron, sulphur, sodium cal
cium, chlorin, carbon, etc. Usually
the bulk is stone, but often there is
mixture of stone and iron, and in a
few instances iron predominares. A
meteor falling through the air is ac-
companied by a peculiar sound and
frequently it explodes after striking
the earth, Those which strike the
earth comprise only small proper
ton of the total number that fall.
Meteors always seem to be falling
downward because when they come
within range of the earth's attraction
they are drawn toward it and are set
afire by friction with the atmos-
phere. Individual particles of me-
teoric stream are too small to be
seen with most telescopes, as they
move in an interplanetary space, and
it is only when they approach earth
and become luminous that we are
aware OF their existence.

PELICAN A NAUGHTY BIRD
Trout Hog" Is Charge Made Against
Him by Professor of University
of Illinois.

Excitement is rife in the wild an.
imal community Of the Yellowstone
National park since the scandal about
Mr.. Pelican received public attention.
The ducks are quacking about it, the
squirrels are chattering it and the bob
cats are scattering it broadcast in
their shrill voices.
Throughout sill the whispers and
nudges of neighbors as he passes, Mr..
Pelican maintains his stately mien,
seemingly unconscious of the jibes
of the multitude. His actions would
indicate he still holds his valued place
in the community.
His trouble started with the charge
by Prof. Harry B. Ward, head of the
department of zoology of the Univer-
sity of Illinois, that ne is trout hog
and violator of all the tenets of good
craftsmanship. Proof of these charges
probably will mean that Mr. Pelican
will become an outcast with every
ones door closed to him and every
ones hand against him.
Professor Ward is conducting an
exhaustive investigation for the fed
eral bureau of fisheries at Lake yell
lOwstone in Yellowstone National
park as to the relationship between
the pelican and the trout supply. His
investigation, which has been pro-
crossing several weeks, will continue
through the present season.
The flock of pelicans that live and
breed on Lake Yellowstone numbers
about 400. They summer" aristocrat-
ically at the lake, feasting on the
best the land affords, from spring UNI
til September, then go to their winter
resorts along the Gulf of Mexico.
The bird diets almost exclusively on
fish, and, so far as the Yellowstone
and other Rocky mountain lakes and
streams are concerned, this means ex-
clusively on trout. He estimates that
the 400 pelicans consume more trout
than are taken during an entire sea-
son by sportsmen.
The pelican is no respecter of size
limits or open seasons, Professor Ward
charges. He declared he had seen a
platoon of 36 pelicans ranged across
stream in regular formation, prey
ing on the trout as they swan up to
spawn. Hitherto the stream had
yielded trout eggs by the millions, but
hatchery men this year could gather
only q fraction Of the, normal amount.
The fact is granted that Mr. Peli-
cans home life is above reproach. He
is good provider, good husband
and father and is strictly monogram
Gus. For the 400 birds in the lake
flock, there are just 200 nests, one for
each couple and one mate for each
bird. There are no "triangles" in the
Yellowstone 400"
If further Investigations justify it,
Professor Ward will ask the federal
government to bar the pelican as sum-
mer visitors from the park.

Photograph Postcards.

To enable people to send their
voices to their friends through the
mails is the ambition Of three French
inventors, who have united their in
genuity in the production of a wax
like material called "sonorine," which
may be spread upon postcard.
Spoken messages may, 1t is said, be
impressed upon the prepared cards by
placing them in Photographic ap-
paratus, into which the sender speaks.
The recipient has only to put it
through a receiving photograph in or.
der to hear the voice Of his friend.

eral operation of anthracite coal
mines and some of the railroads
was considered at White House
conference tonight between
President Harding. Chairman
Cummins of the senate interstate

be given one more opportunity to
settle their differences.
If there ism a settlement in
a few days. he said, Il will in

government to operate the

Likewise he said, the rail
roads would be given reason

adequate service and that those
unable to do so would be taken
over.
1t was indicated that consid-

Early Sowing Aids the Fly.

comparisons OF yields. from
early and late sown wheat on
$500 acres in Phelps, Knox and

OF the state show difference of

wheat averaged 1913 bushels an

Crude Oil Down, Gasoline Up.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Retai
gasoline prices have climbed
steadily in the last two years,
while crude oil costs, subject to
violent fluctuations, have de-
creased. Available stocks of gas
oline and oil have increased in
the same period, but have tend
ed to concentrate in the hands
of a few socalled Standard Oil
groups.
Independent oil producers of
the nation face disaster because
of the manipulation Of crude oil
prices, which have decreased
seemingly without justification
from $3.50 to $l.25 a barrel.
These were the features of the
preliminary report Of the special
senate subcommittee inyestigat-
ing the nation = oil industry, pre-.
