BEAVER, BEAVER COUNTY, OKLAHOMA TERRITORY, THURSDAY, DEC. 24, 1896. NO. 48. BEAVER ' h, J Y It is stated tlint tlto republican? will contest tho olection of Kentucky's singlo Hryau elector. Tho Oklahoma l'icss Association meets in adjourned session at Quthrio on January 12. In the l'abst brewery at Milwaukee is n machine which corks, wires and caps IG,000 bottles of beer per day automat ically, It is a fact not known to everybody that tho annual product of the little scratching hen is fur mora valuable in the United States than the yearly pro duction of wheat, corn, iron, or anything else. It requires only twelve dollars a year to maintain an orphan in Armenia. This may explain tho cordial encouragement which tho Sultan is extending to tho creation of widows and fatherless chiU dren in that country. Star. Dennis Flynn has invited Tom Heed, Mark Haima and several other big guns to spend tho holidays hunting in Okla homa, and tho invitation will probably bo accepted Tho aforesaid big guns had Letter post up a little on tho game law before tbey commence. There aro six or seven applicants for tho position of governor of Oklahoma. There seems to bo a strong rcnliment in favor of Dennis Flynu, who has said that ho is not a candidate but would accept if appointed. Sorao of the papers seem to think that he is as good as appointed. Flynn has made it good congressman. Thousands of Americans are willing and anxious to go to Cuba and fight the Spaniards since Maceo's murder. In Denver alone a company of ono thousand men have got together and, if they can not procure horses, propose to march to Tamp, Florida, and get across the strait any way they can. In the legal contest for tho $10,000 purse hung up fur tho Fitzsimmons Shnrljoy glove contest, the court decided that tho case did not cotue. under its jurisdiction aod it was thiown out, after enough evidence had been taken to provo that FilzsiimuoDS had been made the victim of a rank steal. An exchange remarks; It is recorded that Noah was tho first advertiser. Ho advertised tho Hood and it came through all right. Tho fellow who laughed at hw advertising drowned. Ever since .Noah'? timo tho advertiser bus been prosperous, whilo tho o'.hir fellow has been struggling to keep his head above tho flood of disaster. Tho convention which met at Little Hock, Ark., hist week to devise ways and means of improviug tho Arkansas river, so as to tnako it navigable for steamboats, resolved to petition Congress to make an appropriation for that pur pose. After they get steamboats to running up as far as Garden City wo will tkko steps to have tho sand scooped out of the Heater and enough water poured in to foike it navigable fur middlcisiztd steamers and schooners as far up as the Mexican settlement. A correspondent fur tho National Stockman says that he can dehorn 100 calves for ten cents. He tabes the calf when ho is from thren to five days old, uses a pair of Bbcars, and clips the hair over tho nub about tho sizo of a nickle, dampens, but not enough to run down the side of tho head. He then puts concentrated lye, about on tho nub, rub bing a little with tiie finger and the job is done. Tbis will form a scab which will come off itself. He says ho has never failed with tbis method, and it is not bo cruel us cutting off tbo horns. A writer in Science has set himself to answer the question, "Is tho rainfall in creasing upon 'he plains?" After it cure ful inspection of all available data be is of the opinion that there hns been no increase of rainfall ,ou the plains sinco thoy began to be settled up by tho farm ers. The truth is that, as the writer hews, that the prevalent ideas about tho amount of ramfall necessary for farming operations of a certain class, tuch as the raising f forage and vine crops, were erroneous. A rainfall of twenty inches a year is not an indisptnsible minimum. The crops nsaaod can get along with tea, and it remains to bo seen if even less will not answer. Tbey bavo found that however slight tbo rainfall may be, it can be greatly conserved by cultiva tion. When the plains are plowed and harrowed tbo rains sink into trie-ground, and its evaporation is prevented by the croji wboie roots it feed. The cheerful liar who runs tho Govo (Kansas) Leader, and who is none other than Totn Kirtloy, formerly of Heaver, gets off tho following: "Perpetual mo tion has at last been discovered. On a quarter of n section of land nn enterpris es Kansas firm will establish 1,000 black cats and f,000 rats on which to feed the cats. It is estimated that tho cats will increase liOO in two years. The black cat skins aro vrorth SI each. Tho rats will multiply five times as fast as tho cats. Tho rats will bo used to feed tho cats and tho skinned cats to feed the rats." r 4 A practical use bus at'last been found for the jack rabbit. Ho is being slaugh tered by tho hundred on tho plains of wcfitern Kansas at,d shipped in car lots to Kansas City and other towns, to bo given to the poor denizens of tho cities who cannot iifiurJ turkey. It is the custom to take two wagon, to which is tied a long wire, ono end to each wagon, and travel around orcr the prairie and in the bottoms, the hunters following close behind tho wire and shooting tho long legged Brer Jonathan when bo rises. Two wagon loads is coudidcrcd a good day's work fur a party of four hunters. Where jack rabbits aro plentiful the people would about as soon cat mule meat, but in tho cast, where they are scarce, they are considered "good eatin'." Guthrie, O. T.,.Dee. 18. Tho De partment of the Interior has pent tracers out to try to locate a missing band of Kickapoo Indians, about fifty in number, who a month ago received permission to go to tho Wichita reservation to get from tho cancbrakes a supply of the reeds they use in making their houses. They stopped in tho reservation but a hlioct timo and then went on west, and it is now believed tlint they have gone to Mexico, whero tho entire tribo was in hiding from the government many months some years ago and were brought back at large expense. Jeff davis, although gone, is not for gotten by some of his former adherents in the south, as is shown by tho returns fur presidential electors at tho election held on November 3. According to tho provisions of an act of congress tho secretary of state has filed the certificates of the governor of Arkansas, showing that ho has canvassed and added up the votes cast for the of fice of presidential and vice presidential electors ut tho election in the bcvcral counties of Arkansas on November 3. After the names of the eight electors who leccived the largest number of votes cast, giving the stato to Bryan, there appears the name of "Jeff Davis," with cighty-six votes to his credit as an elector fur president autl vico president. It bus been n mattcrof current history fur many years that some of the old dycd-io'the-wool democrats ars still voting for Andrew Jackson in tho back woods of Kentucky and Tennessee, but it remains for Arkansas to tako a new de parture by casting votes for the alleged president of the defunct confederacy. Chicago Tribune. Cornstalks not Worthless. Washington, Dec. 18. Craoip, the Philadelphia ship builder, began two years ago making extensive and expen sive experiments fur the manufacture of smokel'iss gunpowder and also ccllulosu, with which to line ships, and incidental to tho researches in that field tho people he employed have dfocoicrcd various uses to which tno cornstalk could be applied, which, he declares, will raise tho value of corn not less than 85 per acre per auuum. Cramp, in conversation with Senator Thurston, stated that the elements enter ing into tho composition of the stalk of .the corn could be used for tho producs tion of alcohol, cellulose, mattings, car pets, paper, Emokelcts powder, and a food for cattle, superior to anything now in the market, besides other things which he could hardly enumerate. To Make the Desert Itloom. Denver, Col., Deo. 18. If the plans that aro now being formulated by tbo railroad companies can be successfully carried out, tho arid eastern section of Colorado and the western scctisn of Ne braska aud Kansas will bo converted into fruitful farm land. As explained by W. W. Lupger, land inspector of the Union Pacific Railway Company, (ho railroad officials proposo to introduce varieties of agricultural aod horticultural plants that are adapted to tho toil of "arid America," as it now btands. To do this will require a great deal of inves tigation and experiment. An effort will be made at once, it is said, to get aid from congress towaids this end. If n aid can be obtained from this source, tho railway managers mny net nlunc. Experts in ngiieulture, horticulture and the effects of climate, altitude nntl drouth, will bo sent into Sibcrin, Persia and other high countries which possets the gcncrnl climatic nud physical tliar.ic (eristics ur this regiou. Thcro thoy will find out what staple crops aro raised 1)7 cultivutors of farm aud garden product.1, and hpecimens of these will bo sent to Colorado for planting in the arid eastern territory. 11 I E The Irrigation l'urnier. Irrigated farms- bare n tendency to induce tlfeir owners to cultivate crops tliit will pay (ho largest profits, uud the irrigation farmer is, in a vast majority of cases, a man of high intelligence, who studies to make his land us' profitable tm possible, lie has broken loose from tho traditions of his forefathers becrusc he ii surrounded by different conditions. Ho lias learned what it means to control tho water supply of his hind, and seeks to lake advantage of this tremendous lever to cultivate his acres. Farming, with him, is a bcicucc, in which he has learned that tho conditions which tend toward success arc greatly in his favor if intelligently applied, and he uses this intelligence to produce (he best tcaults. Water is the predominating element in farming in the arid ration, and its value will never bo less than at present, while its average cost is likely to diminish through tho use of improved methods for its conservation and distribution Irrigation Ape. To I'Mlmnto Weight of Animals. The following rules may bu applied to estimate tho weight of live animals. In measuring a beef steer take n string, says Montana Stockman, put it around the animal standing square, just behind the shoulder blades. Measure cm a foot rule the feet and inches thq animal is in circumference. This is tailed tho giith. Then with the fitting uicasuao from tho bones of tho tail which plumbs tbo lino with the hinder part of tho buttock, direct tho lino along the bi.ck to tho foro part of the bhotilder blade. Tako the dimensions on the foot rule as before, which is the length. Work tho figures in tho following manner: Girth of the bullock six feet four inches; length, five feet tlirco inches, which multiplied together make thirty-oni square superficial feet, that multiplied by twenty-three tha number of pounds allowed to euch superficial foot of cattle measuring less than seven and more than five feet in girth makes 813 pounds. Whero the animal meas ures Ic&s than nine and more than seven feet in girth, thirty-one pounds is the number to each superficial foot. Again, suppose n pig or any small ani mal should measure, two feet in girth and two feet along tho back, which multi plied together mako fuur superficial feet; that multiplied by cloven tbo number of pounds allowed for each squaro foot of cattle measuring less than three feet in girth makes forlyfour pounds. Again, suppose a calf or sheep should measuro four feet six iuches in girth and three feet nine inches in leugth, multi plied together make sixteen and one-half square feet, that multiplied by sistcnu tho number of pounds allowed to cattle measuring less than five and more than three feet in girth makes 201 gouods. A Tnlo of Frontier Life. Henry Martin, who resides up in the direction of Antiljpo Basin, W. T., re cently came across a ghastly relic of early days, which might well form tho foundation of a tale of frontier life, Ho was out prospecting in a wild and broken part of tho country, where, in tho midst of an elevated plateau, it is not uncommon to find ono's self on the brink of a crevasse or cleft, in the rock, a plungo down which would inevitably provo fatal. It was in exaurniog one of theso strango openings, formed during some tremendous convulsion of the earth ages ago, that Mr. Martin saw pinued between. tbo adamantine walls far bslow him the whitened bones of a man and a horse. He made a circuitous journey around tho nill which brought him to where it was passible to enter the narrow gorge and by difficult climbing over ragged boulders to reach tbo skeletons, Ho cautiously picked his way through for a distance of several hundred feet, and at length reached tho object which hid excited his curiosity. There was no doubt, from the position of tho ani mal and the rider, that they hid plunged headlong to their death, either while being pursued or in seme mad ride which did not leave tims to check them selves on the brink of tho yawning ohasm. Tho m.in must havo been fully six feet in heighl r.ud between 50 and 00 years of ago, the latter supposition being established by tho fuel that ho bad dur ing life lost some of his teeth aud the btno had grown over the cavities, Tho skull showed n mlticr intelligent forehead, tho cheek bones were proini ncnt, and tbo general sbnpu of the head indicated that tho bones were those of n Mexican. This theory whs further con. firmed by the dieovcry of a lieh Mrxi. can snmbrcm, with heavy gold trim mings, all in iv good state of preserva tion. The skeleton was found in a pcrprn. dicular position, the head downward and lightly pinned between two walls of rock. Tho rider had fallen from his tecd; and tli" bones Of the latter weto similarly suspended, but twenty foot further up. In a little basin nt the font of the gorge was discovered a copper plain about six inches square, mid strangest of all, a plug i.f tobacco of apparently ancient u'.auulncituc, but seemingly ns perfect as when the dead man had put it iu his pocket to solaco him in his lonely rido ncross tho bills.
