W. A. Knerr: The mayor, has
bought an engine. I think the major
ity of the citizens are in favor of it.
But the majority of them do not own
a dollar's worth of realty. I read the
mayor's $400 expert engineer's report.
The only point he gave that the coun
cil should consider was to use direct
pressure and no engine. The mayor
said it took $2,500 a year to keep the
engine ready for a fire. Five thous
and dollars for the engine and $2,500
is $30,000 in ten years, and the city
has nothing at the end of that time. A
word to the insurance companies
$35.cco on the packing house. $90,000
on the goods in the Porritt Building,
is that something to consider? The
taxpayers have got to suffer for such
fires. There are two sides to these
fires. The water pressure the night
courthouse fire was so much at
the Knerr Block that I had to shut off
the water from the block. The trouble
is -just one thing: the waterworks,
nothing else is cohsidered. The may
or^ -xpert could figure to a pound
hecjv much pressure a six-inch main
coJild give to three hose of the size
used here. I guess there is only one
hose used from the engine. If the tax
payers want to get at the bottom of
tlie facts they can be gotten at without
paying $400 to an expert, it is easy.
If anyone wishes to question me on
th|ite pbints I can convince him I am
rignt.
IN OKLAHOMA.
It.
'Foster Bain, of the Unitpd States
geological survey, has returned to
Washington after a strenuous sojourn
in the Wichita Mountains of Oklahoma.
While there he was an object of interest
to two hostile classes of the communi
ty. He had been instructed to ascer
tain whether precious metals exist in
paying quantities tn that district. The
miners, promoters, speculators who
swarm the hills were naturally desir
ous that he should be favorably im
pressed with the mineral promise ot
that locality, whereas the homesteaders
settled along the river banks felt that
an auverse opinion would protect them
in their rights. The report tliat he wiii
write as the result of his investigations
is sure therefore to be received with
more than usual, interest.
Mr, Bain's visit to the Wichita Moun
tains was made primarily for the pur
pose of procuring information for the
secretary of the interior. The attention
of the secretary had been called to con
tests that have arisen between prospec
tors and homesteaders on whose claims
the prospefctors have made mineral fil
ings.
This locality has been the setting for
some exciting scenes during the last two
years. When the district was opened up
in 1901 "the miners were permitted to go
in and prospect. For fifty years or
more rumors have been abroad of old
Spanish mines rich in gold and silver
that were once worked in those gran
ite hills, and there was no dearth of
fortune hunters te penetrate the soli
tudes when once the opportunity offered.
In that same year, Joseph A. Taff. ot
the United States geological survey, vis
ited the district officially and began the
compliation Qf geological maps. Before
it was completed he was ordered to the
Indian Territory to segregate the coal
lands in the Choctaw and Chickasaw
nations. Later he resumed work 011 his
geologic map of the Wichitas, and it is
expected that he will have it ready for
publication some time htis winter. Mr.
Taff's study had special reference to the
geological formations of the district, but
he gave considerable attention to the
mineral deposits, which he reported to
be valueless. Mr. Bain's investigations
in this field have been confined exclu
sively to a study of the ore deoosits.
and his report will be considered sup
plementary to that of Mr. Taff.
At the same time that the territory
was thrown open to miners, homestead
ers were also allowed to take up lands.
Confusion and strife soon resulted. The
miners «rot onto school lands and Indian
allotment lands'as well as homestead
claims. The Indian police took occa
sion then to interfere, and in defending
what they considered their own. burned
buildings, destroyed mining machinery,
and created considerable excitement.
The ultimate question involved is
whether or not there is mineral wealth
in the district to even partially justify
these contentions. I-oc-al opinion re-
-!u

piano depends largely on its
tone. Our pianos are noted
for long sustained, or singing
qualities, produced by a homeo

entire instrument, and the care
given to the smallest details of
construction. No other pianos

that his examination of the field was
too cursory to be entirely satisfactory.
Mr. Bain was accordingly sent to pur
sue the investigation to an absolutely
definite conclusion. He spent some
time in the district, examining particu
lar mines in development as well as un
slaked ground and taking sahiples of
everything that the miners said was ore.
He shipped over 300 pounds of rock to
Washington, where the survey assayers
are now industriously determining what
values it contains, if any.
Samples from this field have been as
sayed before, both in Lawton. Oklohoma
the principal town in the district, and in
Denver. Miners claim that a car load
of ore was recently shipped from tlu*
mountains to Denver and that payment
was made on it at a good ratep er ton.
The incident involved the possibility of
fraud, however, in sampling, assaying,
and settlement, so that the returns can
not be taken as a safe indication of
what the fild may bring forth. Mr.
Bain4 exercised the greatest care in pro
curing his samples, and the government
chemists will test them with all the
nicety and conscientiousness of which
they arc capable, so that the assay re
sults should, represent they alue of the
Wichita ores as accurately as it is pos
sible for any human test to check na
ture's Work.

to that time he had been in charge of
nurses and governesses. Colonel Osio
put him through a course of sprouts
designed to counteract his delicacy of
health, his nervous irritability and his
whimsicality. If he had a cold he had
to rise at the usual hour, bathe and go
through the ordinary grind. The
colonel dinned into his head that if he
were a donkey he would not be the less
a donkey for being a king's son. Most
of his preceots were in this spirit and
his young charge has developed into a
rather unusually serious-minded sQve.r-.

like the justice of the peace I tried a
case before out in Colorado once. The
suit was over an old debt for supplies.
The defense was that the bill was paid.
The justice was a pompous old chap and
knew 110 law. After we had finished the
justice said': "The court knows all
about the case. The court has heard
what the witnesses have got to-say and
the talk of the, lawyers. The court will

MARKETS.
C. E. Wheeler reports: A good deal
long.wheat was marketed today by
the chief bull interest and by local longs.
The former sold 011 the hard spots but
was a buyer when the market turned
weak. The news was mostly of a bull
ish character. The weather map show
ed no precipitation in the winter wheat
belt and some lower temperatures and
the July option was firm in consequence.
Rain is reported from the southern dis
tricts of the'Argentine. Clearances of
-4.cco.ooo bushels for the four weeks
ending Nov. 29. Cables were disappoint
ing. Liverpool closed unchanged to
lower bcin easier in anticipation of
large worlds shipments. Estimated re
ceipts for Monday 85 cars.

of democracy and the insistence that
everybody is as good as ^everybody else,
the pendulum of social regard seems to

feeling is rapidly growing that the rich
can do 110 right. It has almost come jto
be a condition of popularity to insist
that the wealthy classes are becoming
moral degenerates and a social menace
to the nation. To refrain from speak

ing manner of the rich, renders cMrie
subject. to suspicion. Definite informa
tion itf-no longer necessary for forming
an adverse opinion of the wealthy.
Their very success is taken as prima
facie evidence of their badness. To ne
