Of the six districts asking for bond approvals in North San Diego and Southwest Riverside counties in November, four promised not to use the style of bonds that caused a firestorm of negative publicity around the Poway Unified School District last month, district representatives said last week.
Poway Unified used 40-year "capital appreciation" bonds , which allowed the district to borrow $105 million for school construction, but avoid making a payment for 20 years. The bonds will ultimately cost the district almost $1 billion.
The public reaction to news of the use of such long-term bonds, along with pressure from a local taxpayers nonprofit, pushed the MiraCosta Community College District, the San Dieguito Union High School District, and the Ramona Unified School District to enact policies to strictly limit or prohibit the use of capital appreciation bonds.
In Southwest Riverside County, the Perris Union High School District never considered using those bonds, while the Temecula Valley Unified School District has not yet devised a plan for structuring its bonds.
The Del Mar Union School District wants voters to approve $76.8 million in borrowing in November. The school board will meet on Sept. 19 to discuss how it wants to structure its debt, said Holly McClurg, the district's superintendent. She said the district is likely to take out a 25-year bond, which makes a long-term capital appreciation bond unlikely.
The Poway Unified bonds have attracted a great deal of negative attention in recent weeks. The district sold $105 million worth of bonds in 2011 with an average interest rate of 7.5 percent over 40 years and no ability to refinance. The district won't start repayment until 2031, after which it'll make payments until 2051, for a grand total of $987 million, or a debt to repayment ratio of 9.5-to-1.
At least partial use of such bonds has been common in North County : School districts in Escondido, San Marcos, and Oceanside all have them as part of their current debt.
Under a traditional bond, a school district sells a 10- to 30-year bond and begins repaying it immediately. Under current market conditions, school districts can pay interest rates between 1 and 3 percent, and often have a borrowing ratio of less than 3-to-1.
While school districts often have a rough idea of the type and duration of bonds they're going to issue, they don't have to commit to anything when they go before voters. At their most basic level, bond elections are a request to borrow a certain amount of money, but with no legal commitment to how the government or district will structure the borrowing.
The San Diego County Taxpayers Association, a taxpayer watchdog nonprofit, endorsed Poway Unified's bond measure.
Early this year, the association undertook a six-month study of capital appreciation bonds that caused a reassessment, according to Chris Cate, vice president of the association. In the last few months, the association has asked any district looking for the group's endorsement to publicly promise not to use long-term capital appreciation bonds (The association does not object to short-term bonds of three or five years).
As a result, districts have rushed to change rules to win the association's endorsement.
The San Dieguito Union High School District, which is looking for $449 million in bonds , called an emergency board meeting in August in which it approved rules saying it would only use capital appreciation bonds under four very limited circumstances, said Eric Dill, associate superintendent of business services for the district.
"We would only pursue capital appreciation bonds if we could demonstrate that it would be the most cost-efficient method of financing," Dill said.
The Ramona Unified School District is asking voters to authorize its first-ever bond sale, a $66 million request to renovate and modernize its buildings.
"We work very closely with the San Diego County Taxpayers Association," said Bob Graeff, the district's superintendent. "They've given us their endorsement. One of the pieces they were pretty insistent on is that we not use CABs."
The MiraCosta Community College District asked seven firms to model different ways the district could borrow the $497 million it wants voters to approve, according to Jim Austin, vice president of business and administrative services. The firm it selected included some capital appreciation bonds in its proposal.
"As we were preparing our presentation for the taxpayers association, we got the first inkling this was going to be a problem in Poway," Austin said. "We said, with conservative assumptions, can we commit to not using any CABs? They (the underwriters) said it can be done. With an abundance of caution, we said we would commit to not using any CABs, and as it worked out ---- with the kind of press that it's gotten ---- we're glad we did that."
In Southwest Riverside County, the Perris Union High School District never considered using capital appreciation bonds for its $153 million bond request.
"The way that we have the bonds structured now, they're a 30-year bond, they're not capital appreciation bonds," said Candace Reines, assistant superintendent of business services for the district. "The debt ratio is about 1-to-1.5 or so."
The Temecula Valley Unified School District is looking for $165 million from voters, but it hasn't worked out exactly how it will borrow the money yet, and thus couldn't say whether capital appreciation bonds would be part of the mix, said Lori Ordway Peck, assistant superintendent of business support services.
"We would fully disclose to everyone: Here's the way we'd put this deal together, " she said. "We're just not at that point yet."

On Sunday morning, November 19, 1939, death came to Judge Wade Hampton Kornegay as a result of a heart attack at his home
in Vinita. He was born in Duplin County, North Carolina on April 17, 1865. For forty-eight years prior to his death, Vinita
had been his home where he was continuously engaged in the practice of law except for the period when he was serving as a
member of the Constitutional Convention in 1907 which framed the present Constitution of the State of Oklahoma and while he
served by appointment of the then Governor William H. Murray as a member of the Supreme Court of the State of. Oklahoma in
1931 and 1932.
Judge Kornegay's ancestry on his father's side is traced to Holland and on his mother's side to Wales. They settled in America
in a very early day; the father's in North Carolina and the mother's on the James River in Virginia. When the Civil War came,
Judge Kornegay's father enlisted as a private soldier in the Confederate Service and was wounded in battle. He was in the
retreat from Richmond which ended at Appomattox. Judge Kornegay was born while his father was absent serving in the army.
He wrote of his father as follows: "He named me for General Wade Hampton of South Carolina who he had seen ministering to
his soldiers who had been used to carry powder. All the medical supplies were gone and nothing was left save some flour which
the General was personally sprinkling on the burns of his men. Father said on seeing this, he determined if the expected child
was a boy, his given name would be Wade Hampton. I was the boy, the youngest of seven. Father always taught me that the war
ended at Appomattox." Further referring to himself, he wrote.—
"I attended the local academy and seminary and entered the Wake Forest College, North Carolina, in my fifteenth year and graduated
from the institution in 1884 with the degree of A. M. and being the class valedictorian. I taught school for four years and
acquired the means required to bear my expenses for a summer law course under Professor John B. Minor at the University of
Virginia in 1889, followed by the regular two year course at Vanderbilt University, taking the full course in one year."
Judge Kornegay was a man of great literary attainments and was particularly versed in the classics. His career as a college
student was brilliant. I quote from a recent letter from Honorable John F. Schenck of Lawndale, Cleveland County, North Carolina,
who was a fellow student at Wake Forest College with Judge Kornegay.
"The most striking and interesting thing which I remember about Kornegay was his entering into a contest for a Greek medal,
which was awarded every year at Wake Forest College. At that time A. T. Robertson, who became a noted Greek scholar, was a
member of the class studying Greek, and he stood so high in his class that it was taken for granted that he would be the winner
of the Greek medal that year. I do not think any one was doubtful as to that matter. However, when the final and special Greek
examination came, Kornegay was the winner. It was a mystery to most students how he managed to win the medal over Robertson,
but afterwards I learned that Kornegay was in the habit of waking at 4:00 o'clock in the morning and usually put in his early
morning hours at work, preparing for the contest."
Page 93
Judge Kornegay was married in the early 1890's to Nannie Louise Stafford of the Indian Territory, who survives. From that
union were the following children: Jeanette, Clarence, Wade Hampton, Jr., and Louise, all of whom are living. The home life
of the Kornegays was a happy one. Judge Kornegay was an honorable citizen, a believer in the Christian religion and a supporter
of the Presbyterian Church. His career as a practicing lawyer was long, honorable and successful.
His remains, after an impressive and appropriate ceremony were laid to rest on November 21, 1939 in the presence of a large
concourse of friends from all walks of life, in the Fairview Cemetery at Vinita, Oklahoma.
Muskogee, Oklahoma
Walter Ferguson, son of Thompson B., and Elva Shartel Ferguson, was born March 28, 1886, at Wauneta, Kansas, and died Marsh
8, 1936. He was married to Lucia Loomis, November 7, 1908. Three children survive, Benton, Ruth Elva, and Tom B.
The only authentic picture of the people, conditions, or life in early day Oklahoma presented in Edna Ferber's malevolent
novel, "Cimarron," sprang, not from the egoistic mind of the author, but from the understanding heart of the artist illustrator,
V. C. Wyeth.
On frontis page and jacket we see a strong, reliant, clear eyed mother, guiding a team of sturdy farm horses over a rutty
road. Perched upon the high spring seat of the wagon is the figure of a small boy, his eyes alert with eager interest. The
mother's face is eloquent of faith in the future; of that fearless faith that ignores hardship and sacrifice; that asks only
to work and to serve; a faith that makes a shrine of struggle, and reckons not the cost in weary, lonesome, hours, but counts
that day well spent that sees security for her loved ones brought one step nearer.
The tense figure of the boy radiates excitement. One can hear his shrill, childish treble, as a coyote or jack rabbit bounds
from its hiding place by the road side, or a cowboy, picturesque in chapps and spurs, bursts suddenly from a dry creek bed,
riding hard on the heels of a straying steer. Only the present, the novel, entrancing present, absorbs the boy. But the future,
the long, hard, coming years, have use for the sturdy body and active mind of that boy. He will not fail that future, for
he is a pioneer, and is to be the product of pioneering.
The original of that illustration hangs in the hall of the Ferguson home today. It belongs there. It is the artist's conception
of Walter Ferguson's entrance into the land he was to love so intensely; which he was to serve so devoutly, and which he was
to see developed into a state that became his absorbing pride.
Exactly as pictured by the artist, the Ferguson family entered Oklahoma in 1889. The mother and son in a wagon containing
their household effects, and the father following in another, loaded with a few fonts of type, and the primitive press which
was the first crude equipment of the Blaine County Republican, for long years the champion of law and order, and cultural
progress in western Oklahoma.
The heart beats of any community are heard and felt best in a newspaper office. It is the common nerve center that receives
and records the thought, impulses, and activities of that community. Walter's infant
Page 94
wails were drowned by the thud of a Washington hand press, and the odor of printer's ink was always, afterward, a haunting
lure. His restless, roving spirit drove him into many and varied fields, but always, in any situation, he was the trained
observer, the student of values, feeling the pulse of the public unerringly, and subconsciously swayed by that sixth sense
which marks the real newspaper man.
Watonga, Blaine County, was a county seat and court town, remote, raw, and unorganized. Peopled by men and women of every
class and creed, strangers from near and far who had become neighbors in a day. Walter lived his buoyant, boyish years in
this environment. His young and plastic mind received and absorbed a thousand impressions from the clash of viewpoint and
opinion that were fused in the melting and moulding of the strong, sturdy, cosmopolitan settlers into a commonwealth truly
Here was born his kindly tolerance. With his natural instinct for truth, he separated prejudice from reasoned conviction,
weighed warped sincerity, and instantly recognized a subtle wrong. He learned to measure men. He had an instinct for friendship,
and saw something interesting in everyone he met. Grown men who bought papers from a barefoot boy, before Watonga had a railroad,
never forgot him, and hundreds of his nation wide friendships antedated his early 'teens.
No boy could ever know a stranger, or more complete assortment of men than Walter was thrown among. Temple Houston, with his
long, black hair, high heeled boots, and tongue touched with fire; Jesse Dunn, dignified, astute philosopher; Chris Madsen,
veteran of four wars, fearless, relentless peace officer; priests and preachers, gamblers, politicians, and lean, lank ranchers.
Position and place, then or afterward, meant nothing to him, but in every man he sensed something that sets the individual
apart from his fellows.
While young Walter was busy sticking type, selling Wichita Eagles, and running errands for the court house crowd he found
ample time for the pranks and pastimes of the small town boy. He knew every fishing hole and turkey roost for miles around
Watonga. Halloween and the old-fashioned "Fourth" found him in the thick of things. In after years he often recounted with
relish an anecdote which he said established his rating in deportment.
A farmer brought to town a huge diamond-backed rattler he had captured. Someone suggested that the reptile was extremely dangerous
and should be killed. "No, no," a bystander objected, "turn it loose, it may bite that Ferguson boy."
In a heated campaign his dignified father was addressing a Republican rally. Walter planted himself on a cracker box in front
of the platform and proceeded to lead the applause. His enthusiasm focused the attention of the audience and the orator was
forgotten. The one-boy cheering section had to be removed.
There may have been regret, but there certainly was relief when the "Ferguson boy" left town to attend Wentworth Military
While Walter was at Wentworth, his father was appointed Territorial governor and moved to Guthrie.
At Guthrie, at the age of seventeen, young Ferguson laid the foundation of his career as columnist, newspaperman and politician.
His first serious effort was a column in the Shawnee Herald, published by Adjt. Gen. Charles F. Barrett. "Over The Tea Cup"
became a sensational news source. So much inside information appeared in the column that the Governor's advisors complained
that the tea pot must be on the family
Page 95
table. Walter was barred from future party talkfests, but his reputation as a political writer was established.
The seething territorial political pot boiled hottest at Guthrie. The State Capital was the ruthless Republican mouthpiece,
and Frank Greer its able, vitriolic editor. Under his tutelage Walter found a wide field for his talents. Possessing rare
political sagacity he rapidly developed into the territory's leading free-lance writer.
Here, again, Walter widened his acquaintance among the men who were making Oklahoma history. They all became his friends.
All doors were open to him. He lambasted and satirized his Democratic friends unmercifully, but the absence of malice and
venom, and the rare spirit of wholesome good humor, so pervaded everything he wrote, that those at whom he aimed his sharpest
shafts became his closest pals.
While working on the Capital, Walter decided to complete his education, and matriculated at the University of Oklahoma. His
irrepressible spirit could not be confined within the usual routine of the college curriculum. He established a news bureau,
and wrote feature articles and short stories for the metropolitan papers, helped organize the first fraternity, Kappa Alpha,
and played his full part in campus life.
All who have read Walter Ferguson's serious writing, have had no doubt of his moral courage, but less is known of his physical
While at Norman he went with a group of friends to the wilds of Canada on a hunting trip. It happened that they pitched their
camp in a region infested by the "Wolf Boys," an outlaw gang as quick on the trigger as any of the famed gun men who roamed
the western plains in "border" days. One evening while the college boys were resting around the campfire, Bud Wolf and his
pack rode in upon them. Bud threw his six gun and peppered the coffee pot. The boys took to the brush-all but one of them.
Ten minutes later, hearing no more shooting, they came slinking back, and there stood Walter, kidding the life out of Bud,
and the outlaw was laughing.
Walter spent three years at the University, and returned to Guthrie as city editor of the State Capital. Here came the opportunity
for some of his most important work. The constitutional convention convened, and while reporting its proceedings he was in
close touch with the inside workings of that body. His salty wit enlivened his stories, and the coffee grew cold on a thousand
breakfast tables, as the head of the house read the panning dished out in easy flowing satire. His penetrating powers of perception
enabled him to picture the leaders as faithfully as a photograph.
Walter Ferguson had much to do with the making of the reputations that were established in the convention, and his unpublicized
influence is reflected in much of the state's organic law. The real leaders, the men of ability, respected and loved him and
eagerly sought his council. The four-flusher feared him. He was death to "stuffed shirts," for the only thing Walter Ferguson
ever hated was pretense.
No one could have a deeper sense of the importance and significance of the constitutional convention than he, but even that
could not suppress the flood-tide of his humor. He it was who dubbed the president, Wm. H. Murray, "Cockleburr Bill," and
organized the famous "Squirrel Rifle Brigade."
His humor often had a deflating effect, and many a man who became a leader, was stronger and more sincere because a flash
of Ferguson wit gave him a good look at himself.
Page 96
Upon the convening of the first session of the legislature of the new state, Wm. H. Murray was elected speaker of the House
of Representatives, and at once appointed Walter as Reading Clerk. Upon the floor of the House, he was in intimate touch with
the proceedings of the important body, which made effective and gave life to the provisions of the constitution which had
been ratified by a vote of the people.
There is no way to measure the weight of Walter Ferguson's influence during the sessions of those two fundamental lawmaking
bodies; no way of knowing how many salutory provisions owe their existence to his interest and wise foresight, but certain
it is, that he was both loved and feared by the members; that in caucus and council he was respected, and his influence was
enhanced because it was universally understood that he "had no ax to grind."
After the adjournment of the legislature, Greer sent Walter all over the twin territories as a correspondent, and thus he
saw at first hand, and often helped to supervise, their welding into the new state. He reported the amalgamation of the Oklahoma
and Indian Territory Bar Associations, the medical associations, The Oklahoma and Indian Territory Press Associations, the
merger of the educational associations, and in the final blending of a divided citizenship, long swayed by prejudice, and
even deep-seated dislike, the friendly, tolerant spirit of Walter Ferguson was again of inestimable value. Men just naturally
became friends in his genial presence. He kidded provincial prejudice out of them, just as he joshed the bravado out of Bud
His work on the Capital was congenial, but Walter was independent, ambitious, and he wanted to be his own boss. He took a
double plunge.
He bought the Cherokee Republican, and married Lucia Loomis, his college sweetheart.
For ten years this perfectly mated team worked side by side, enduring the hardships and sharing the joys that make the publishing
of a country newspaper the most interesting and soul-testing experience on earth. Walter watched his wife (now a nationally
known newspaper columnist), develop the talent that, to the day of his death, was the source of his greatest pride and joy.
In the files he left was found a yellowed copy of her first story, and crumpled clippings of her first features.
The influence of the metropolitan press of the present day is in doubt, but the country newspaper is a power in the hands
of honest, courageous publishers. The Fergusons made the Cherokee Republican more than a local news vendor. The editors had
opinions and ideals, and fought for them.
Alfalfa county is solely an agricultural community. When a government agency limited the price of wheat, during the world
war, the Republican commended the action. There was widespread indignation among the farmers, and hundreds cancelled their
subscriptions, but the Fergusons, afire with patriotism, never wavered in their position, and so stressed their country's
need that their readers were finally made to feel the thrill that comes from sacrifice for a righteous cause.
Walter continued his political writing. His column, "Bugscuffle Bugle" gave the paper a state-wide circulation. Office seekers
he put on the pillory read it and shuddered; voters read it and laughed themselves out of a year's subscription.
He believed that a public officer should reflect the sentiments of his community. He lived squarely up to that principle.
When the people of Alfalfa county elected him to the state legislature, he introduced and valiantly fought for the passage
of a bone-dry liquor bill. The bill had teeth in it. The measure provided, not only for a fine, but for imprison-
Page 97
ment for the mere possession of intoxicating liquors. No one could possibly enjoy a social drink more than the convivial Walter,
but his constituents were dry, and as their elected representative, he considered their collective will an imperative mandate.
He believed that in no other way could a representative democracy be made to work. He believed that probity in politics is
essential in a republic, and that the lack of it constituted his country's most dangerous weakness.
The Republican was the first advocate of the construction of large lakes at public expense. It emphasized the benefits to
be derived as means of conservation, recreation, and the probable influence on climate and rainfall. On the great Salt Plains
in Alfalfa county is now being constructed one of the largest earthen dams in the nation. Soon countless thousands will enjoy
the fruits of long, weary hours of research and effort contributed by the young editor to the public weal. The Great Salt
Plains lake will be a fitting memorial to his vision, and to his passion for unselfish service.
During his busy years at Cherokee Walter found time to serve as postmaster for six years, and to perform the exacting duties
of Chairman of the county exemption board during the war.
Few men will remember Walter Ferguson as a worker. They will forget his thoughtful editorials and articles; they will only
vaguely realize that his broad, comprehensive knowledge of history and politics, and his grasp of the multitudinous causes
and conditions that gave his beloved Southwest its color and romance, could only come from intensive study and thought. They
will remember him as the genial, high spirited, fun loving host, transforming groups of worried men into laughing, singing
boys, breaking through the artificial shell of their reserve with a pointed jibe, a wild tale, or an absurd anecdote.
Hundreds of men, day dreaming at their firesides, will recall the days and nights at T-Bone ranch in Alfalfa county, Nationally
known writers, dignified judges, merchant princes, cold, calculating bankers, lawyers and doctors, men in all walks of life,
famed for great achievment, will remember when they were completely disarmed and relaxed at T-Bone. They will remember when
Walter slapped them on the back, and they found themselves, glass in hand, telling stories, making impromptu speeches; singing
high tenor in off-key quartets, and loving their fellow men. They will remember that many of their finest friendships date
from a Ferguson party on the plains. A dignified statesman will remember a leather-faced rancher he met in that spacious,
rustic, mint-scented retreat. Senators, congressmen and globe trotters will remember the oil men and old timers, and best
of all, the big jovial host who had them milling and mingling with the joyous abandon of care-free school kids.
No wonder that men, everywhere, came to Walter Ferguson when a favor meant much to them. No wonder Walter always knew a fellow
by his first name who could turn the trick. He believed that man is his brother's keeper. He used his friends to help his
friends, and multiplied the joys of all.
The T-Bone ranch is still there on the Alfalfa county plains; men still gather under the broad beams of the high-hipped roof,
but the laughter is more subdued, the mood is reminiscent, for they're thinking now of a broad, infectious smile, a cheery
voice now still, and they long for a hand clasp they can almost feel.
In 1909 Walter Ferguson became vice-president of the First National Bank at Oklahoma City. It was a radical change, but Walter
was successful in his new avocation. He served six years as a member of the Federal
Page 98
Reserve Board, and removed to Tulsa in 1927, becoming associated with the Exchange National Bank.
Big business made no change in Walter's personality. In his office in the somber bank, one heard the same hearty chuckle,
and he filled the temple of the money changers with an atmosphere of warm, human friendship.
The field of history and biography was Walter's natural habitat. From early youth he collected and preserved items and objects
which he knew would some day have great historical interest. When he located in Tulsa he selected a home with a large, unpartitioned
attic floor. This room became a nationally known retreat and rendezvous. Upon shelves, and walls and ceiling he spread the
mementoes that represent years of searching, hoarding, and understanding discrimination. It is a perfect panorama of the long
years that saw the great Southwest struggle on under five flags to become the most democratic and cosmopolitan region on earth
Long shelves line the side walls of one end of the room. In the volumes that fill them is recorded about all that has been
written about the region. Scores of them are out of print and priceless. Some are learned tomes crammed with tedious but essential
data. Others are racy, readable stories of Spanish adventurers, French explorers, Indian warriors, border gunmen, and cattle
kings. There are leather bound volumes containing the statutory laws of several Indian tribes—laws, that because of their
simplicity, and fairness, put to shame the work of modern legislative bodies. The white man's Bible, printed in the tongues
of so-called savage red men, lean against the bound record of solemn Indian treaties, all broken by white men. (Did Walter
place them just that way to emphasize the exchange a primitive people made, of their simple religion for broken pledges?)
Rare documents and manuscripts fill to bursting commodious files.
On the walls and ceiling hang hundreds of photographs showing the pictured faces of those who had part and place in the making
of the Oklahoma we know. In one group on the west wall will be found the face of almost every editor and publisher who ground
out the history of Oklahoma in the pioneer press. In another group are the statesmen, the judges, and lawyers, the men most
active in public affairs. Photographs of noted Indian chiefs, of early day peace officers, and even of notorious outlaws,
(most of them just stark, rigid, bullet scarred bodies), completes a pictorial biography of the most colorful state in all
of the forty-eight. It is significant that almost every picture is autographed, "To My Friend, Walter."
There are scrap books containing incidents and anecdotes more revealing than many pages of prosaic written history.
At one end of the room stands the bar of the old Red Dog saloon at Guthrie. Even the original brass rail is there. Much of
Oklahoma's history was made by men while leaning on this old rail. A roulette wheel and a poker table from another social
center in early day Guthrie stands invitingly near by.
A rare map of the old ranches in "No Man's Land" and the branding irons of the cattle kings who owned them are placed in a
conspicuous corner.
Mementoes of the outlaw days completely fill the back bar of an old saloon. Six-shooters carried by desperadoes who scorned
to prey upon the helpless, but "shot it out in the open," hang beside the guns of intrepid peace officers who subdued them.
Page 99
This room reflects, as nothing else in the new state does, the color, the romance, the strain and struggle, the labor and
the sacrifice, that went into the making of the unique commonwealh that is Oklahoma. It should be preserved in its entirety
and placed where future generations can visualize the entrancing past.
Walter Ferguson was as much a part of Oklahoma as her broad, sweeping plains, and native hills. He was not only a part of
its colorful history, but out of the very soul of him, dyed that color with some of its richest hues. He played his part in
the pioneer's barehanded fight with nature in the raw. Where and while he worked and played, from infancy to manhood, all
races, and all cultures, met, and mingled, and fused. He helped to make and mould a new and distinct social structure, and
was, himself, its peculiar progeny.
Only in a primitive society do men outweigh possessions. Only there are men implacably measured as men. Courage, strength,
and loyalty must be his, and generosity, and quick sympathy, are first essentials where roving want presses hard upon the
heels of all. To Walter these qualities were innate, but were doubtless emphasized by his environment. Daily he saw sturdy
men drain themselves of strength and substance for neighbor and friend, for community and state, and saw their lives grow
full and rich from giving and doing. In the life of the hard-fisted frontiersman he found a premium placed on real manhood,
and an utter disregard for station and things that was to become his code. And by that code he lived and died.
Tulsa, Oklahoma
In the veins of Governor Douglas H. Johnston was intermingled the best blood of the old South, and the best blood of the proud
Chickasaw Tribe of Indians. His father, Colonel John Johnston, Sr., was closely related to Generals Joseph E. Johnston and
Albert Sidney Johnston, of the Confederate Army.
After assisting in the emigration of the Chickasaw and Choctaw Indians from Mississippi to Indian Territory, and over the
"Trail of Tears," Colonel Johnston returned and settled among the Indians and married Mary Cheadle, a Chickasaw Indian, and
a member of the well known family of Kemps.
Toward the end of the Civil War, Colonel Johnston died and was buried at old Fort Washita near the present city of Durant,
leaving a family of four boys of which Douglas H. Johnston was one. He was named for General Douglas H. Cooper who commanded
the Chickasaw and Choctaw troops in the Civil War. Governor Johnston grew to manhood in the Chickasaw and Choctaw country
and was educated in the Indian schools and academies.
In 1884, at the age of twenty-six years, he was made superintendent of old Bloomfield seminary, an institution for the education
of Chickasaw Indian girls. This institution was, in later years, moved to the city of Ardmore, and it is now maintained by
the United States Government as Carter Seminary. Governor Johnston held this position for thirteen years, or until 1897.
When first elected governor of the Chickasaw Nation, in 1898, the tribal reign was supreme over the old Chickasaw Nation,
which comprised the southwestern one-fourth of Indian Territory.
Page 100
Early in his first administration, both the Indians and the United States realized that the "Atoka Agreement" of 1898 was
defective and must be superseded by a new agreement. Therefore, in 1902, the "Supplementary Agreement" was negotiated and
ratified. Under this agreement the wrongs contained in the former agreement were righted; and the lands and moneys of the
Chickasaws and Choctaws have been divided and distributed among the enrolled members.
It is deemed appropriate to set out some of the most notable achievements of Governor Johnston, on behalf of his Nation and
When the life of the Chickasaw tribal government was endangered by the non-payment of tribal taxes and the surrender of Chickasaw
schools was demanded, he went direct to President Theodore Roosevelt, and executive orders for the collection of tribal taxes
and the retention of the tribal schools, were made; and thus the life of the tribal government was saved and the control of
tribal schools was retained to the end of the treaty period.
When some four thousand white adventurers from the surrounding states, by fraudulent representations and perjured testimony,
forced themselves upon the tribal rolls, through judgments of the United States Courts, and took possession of tribal lands,
Governor Johnston again appealed to President Theodore Roosevelt. The "Supplementary Agreement" of 1902 was made and a new
court, for the retrial of the cases, was created. The cases were retried and the claimants were ousted from Indian lands.
When Oklahoma statehood came on, in 1907, the new state, sorely in need of taxes, sought to tax Indian lands, in violation
of treaty guarantees. The memorable "Choate Case" was filed and carried through the intermediate courts to the Supreme Court
of the United States. In 1912 the great Court rendered its opinion, holding that treaty guarantees, relating to taxation,
were binding on Oklahoma; and thus again were the rights of the Indians made secure. When the period of tax exemption expired
in 1926 and 1927, many original Indian allottees were still alive and in possession of their lands. Restricted Indians of
half blood and more were still unable to pay taxes, and taxation still meant confiscation. The President and Congress were
again appealed to. The result was the passage of the Act of 1928, making inalienable and non-taxable one hundred and sixty
acre homesteads of restricted Indians; and thus these helpless people were made secure in the possession of their homes for
another period of twenty-five years. When it appeared that the affairs of the tribes were drawing to a close, Governor Johnston
asserted, to the President and before Congress and the Federal Departments, conceived that considerable moneys were due and
payable to the tribes. The Act of 1924 was passed providing for the trial of all claims against the Government. These suits,
involving many millions of dollars, have been prepared and filed and are now pending in the United States Court of Claims,
and it is expected that they will be finally disposed of in the near future.
The wife of Governor Johnston, who was Betty Harper of distinguished Chickasaw Indian ancestry, was a teacher at Bloomfield
Seminary, at the time of her marriage to Governor Johnston, and she, and the children and grandchildren, while they are left
to mourn, are comforted by the deepest sympathy of mourning friends throughout the old Chickasaw Nation, the State of Oklahoma,
and extending on to the National Capital.
Governor Johnston served as the Chief Executive of his Nation continuously, since his first election in 1898, to the present
time, with the exception of two years from 1902 to 1904. He was still serving at the time of his death, with the consent of
the President of the United States, being the last elected Chief Executive of his tribe under the Chickasaw Constitution,
and it is gratifying that he was permitted to serve them
Page 101
to the end of his long and useful life. Thus, throughout all the years, from 1898 to the present time, Governor Johnston stood
as the accredited representative of his Nation in all matters affecting the well-being of his people. By the exercise of a
courage of the highest order, and an immovable firmness in the official conduct of all matters affecting the rights and interests
of his Nation and people, he has won and held the respect and admiration of public officials, both in Oklahoma and at Washington.

Anna C. Trainor was born December 15, 1872, at Tahlequah, Indian Territory. She was a daughter of Thomas Trainor, an adopted
white citizen of the Cherokee Nation. Her mother, Lucy C. Trainor, a native of that tribe, is remembered in Cherokee history
as a courier who carried messages for Confederate officers during the Civil War. Anna Trainor was one-sixteenth Cherokee blood
and from early childhood was noted for her beauty. She attended the Cherokee Female Seminary at Tahlequah during the terms
commencing September 6, 1886; February 14, 1887; August 26, 1889 and ending December 13, 1889, although there is no record
that she was graduated from that institution. She was also a pupil of Harrell Institute in Muskogee and taught school before
her marriage to Albert Stidham, a member of a prominent family of the Creek Nation. By this marriage she had a son, Clifford
Stidham now of Kansas City, Missouri.
After the death of her husband Mrs. Stidham was married to Dr. Leo E. Bennett on Tuesday, April 16, 1895, at the residence
of Mr. Buck Rogers in Muskogee. J. A. Winston, clerk of the United States Court, performed the ceremony in the presence of
the immediate family and a few intimate friends. Dr. Bennett was the founder of the Muskogee Phoenix, Indian agent for the
Five Civilized Tribes, and later United States marshal for the Indian Territory. By this marriage two daughters were born,
Anna Lee (now Mrs. Del Sanders of Kansas City, Missouri), and Martha McKinley (Mrs. J. C. Brooks of Jefferson, Texas). The
family also included the three children of Dr. Bennett by his first marriage, Gertrude, Lonie, and Leo E. Bennett, Jr. In
addition Mrs. Bennett reared her beautiful sister Nevermore Trainor, one of her brothers and the son of a cousin; in late
years by the care of several grandchildren she proved herself a veritable "mother in Israel."
During the married life of Dr. and Mrs. Bennett they made several trips to Washington when they were entertained in the White
House by President and Mrs. McKinley who greatly admired Mrs. Bennett because of her beauty, amiable disposition and charm
of manner.
Dr. Bennett died at Mineral Wells, Texas, May 28, 1917, and several years later Mrs. Bennett was married to Warren R. Butz
of Muskogee who died in 1930; five years afterward Mrs. Butz became the wife of Mark Matheson who died the following year.
Because of her celebrated beauty and the fact that she was 1a native of the Indian Territory Mrs. Bennett was selected to
represent the eastern portion of the new state of Oklahoma at the pageant in Guthrie, November 16, 1907, where a symbolical
marriage ceremony was performed by the Rev. W. H. Dodson of the First Baptist Church of Guthrie, between the two territories
represented by Mrs. Bennett as the bride and Mr. C. G. Jones of Oklahoma City as groom. Twenty-five years later at the celebration
of the silver jubilee of the state before the State Historical Society Building in Oklahoma City the same bride, then Mrs.
Warren R. Butz, and the late Gen. R. A. Sneed represented the bridal pair.
Page 102
As on the first occasion Mr. W. A. Durant read the words giving the bride away while the identical marriage ceremony was performed
by the Rev. James McConnell of Vinita, Oklahoma.
Mrs. Matheson died Saturday, August 19, 1939, at Muskogee and her funeral was held in the First Presbyterian Church in that
city. The service was read by Verald Davis, Christian Science reader and interment was made in Greenhill Cemetery, Muskogee.
A devoted wife and home-maker, Mrs. Matheson also possessed great executive ability. The orphan children she cared for and
her war work testify to her humanitarian interests. In addition to her beauty she had unusual charm and she was never heard
to make critical or unkind remarks of other people. She met life with a smile in spite of troubles that would have overcome
most persons.

(1) Charles Thomas Ingram was descended from ancestors of Colonial Virginia, directly traceable to an early period in the
Eighteenth Century to Pugh Price, who married Jerusha Penick (second wife). The eldest son of said marriage, Charles Price,
born in 1757 and died in 1790, married Betsy Haskin. Charles Price served in the Revolutionary War, as Captain, in Thomas
Watkins Troop, Virginia Dragoons.1
(2) John Price, son of Charles Price and Betsy Price, nee Haskin, born in Virginia in 1768, and died in 1823, married, first
wife, Miss Ranson in 1789 in Virginia and married as second wife, Nancy Harrison Wilson in 1819 in Cumberland County, Virginia;
children of first marriage, Marie G., William, and John; children of second marriage, Charles, Alben, and Richard Wilson.
(3) Said Marie G. Price, (sometimes called Mariah), daughter of said John Price and his said first wife, Miss Ranson, was
born December 12, 1807, died May 28, 1849, Chariton County, Missouri, having married John C. Ingram May 1, 1824 in Prince
Edward County, Virginia; seven children born to this union, to-wit, Charles Thomas, Dabney, Dick, John, Mary, Anna, and Louise.
(4) Charles Thomas Ingram, son of John C. Ingram and Maria G. Ingram, nee Price, was born in Prince Edward County, Virginia,
November 16, 1838 (died in Durant, Oklahoma, January 25, 1908, and buried at Bonham, Texas), moved with parents to Chariton
County, Missouri. In 1859 he located at Bonham, Texas. After beginning of war between the states returned to Missouri in 1861
and enlisted on December 31, 1861 at Springfield, Missouri, as a private in Company F, 3rd Regiment Missouri Infantry, Confederate
States Army. The muster roll of that organization in War Department at Washington, D. C., shows his age 24 years, born in
Virginia, and residence then at Brunswick, Chariton County, Missouri, and roll last on file for July and August, 1864, shows
him present with his command. No record is found of him in the War Department subsequent to August 31, 1864, but Collection
of Confederate records there on file is incomplete. He actively served at all periods until close of hostilities.
Page 103
After enlistment he continuously served in said regiment under Major General Sterling Price, Co. F, 3rd Mo. Infantry, C. S.
A., Cockrell's Brigade, as a Whitworth sharpshooter (the Whitworth rifle used by him now being in the possession of Mrs. Ed
L. Speairs, his daughter, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma). When General Price's command was surrendering, Charles Thomas Ingram
on his horse with his rifle made his way farther south to join Major General Kirby Smith's command, but on reaching same,
finding that they too were surrendering, he then on his horse with his rifle made his way to Bonham, Texas, resuming the life
of a civilian, and where he continued to reside until the spring of 1897. On December 20, 1870 he married Maria Olivia Stone
in Fannin County a few miles south of Bonham. To this union came four children, one of whom was Benjamin Stone, born November
7, 1871, died November 19, 1939, in St. Anthony's Hospital, Oklahoma City, and buried in the cemetery at Bonham, Texas, by
the side of his father and mother.
The father, who had been engaged in the mercantile business at Bonham, Texas, for a number of years, in the early spring of
1897 moved to Durant, then in the Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory, engaging in the mercantile business, leaving his son Benjamin
Stone at Bonham to wind up the business, and then to come to Durant in the fall, which he did.
On June 29, 1898, his son, Benjamin Stone, married Nellie Bouton. The father, with the assistance of the son, continued in
the mercantile business at Durant until his retirement from business in 1905. Then the son, Benjamin Stone, became connected
with the Durant Cotton Oil Company and its gin department and continued in that connection the rest of his life except when
he held the office of Deputy County Treasurer. Benjamin Stone Ingram had two sisters and one brother, all of whom are living,
to-wit, Mrs. Joe Carraway, San Antonio, Texas, Mrs. Ed L. Speairs, Oklahoma City, and Charles Ingram, Los Lumas, New Mexico.
To the union of Benjamin Stone Ingram and his wife, Nellie Bouton, came three children, all of whom survive him, to-wit, Whitsett
Ingram, Oklahoma City, Mrs. R. T. Farnsworth, Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Bouton C. T. Ingram, Dallas, Texas.
On the Stone side the family lineage is traced as follows:
(1) To Clack Stone, who married Elizabeth Motley, to which union a son, Samuel Stone, came.
(2) Samuel Stone (father-in-law of said Charles Thomas Ingram) born in Pennsylvania, 1809, moved to Tennessee in his early
youth where he remained until 1852 and then came to Lawrence County, Missouri, and in 1861 to Fannin County, Texas, and died
at Bonham, Texas, September 30, 1886; married Martha A. Turner in 1836, when she was 18 years old, who was born in Wilson
County, Tennessee in 1818, and died at Bonham, Texas in 1901. Her father was James Turner, who came from Tennessee to Arkansas
in an early day. Her mother was Kessie Hunter, an only daughter with six brothers, Alfred, Charles, Samuel, Clark, Rufus and
(3) To the union of Samuel and Martha Stone, nee Turner, six children came, to-wit, Ben Stone, killed in the Confederate service
by a Federal neighbor, January 24, 1864; Mary Olivia, born in Lawrence County, Tennessee, March 4, 1839, died in Bonham, Texas,
May 8, 1897; Delia, died in Bonham, Texas, November 21, 1921; Obediah Rufus, died in Bonham, Texas, November 8, 1889; Betty
Kessie (Mrs. Hade Whitsett) born November 8, 1848, died in Bonham, Texas, November 25, 1931; Charles Alfred, died in Bonham,
Texas, December 13, 1891.

Durban - Patrick Lambie might not be available for the Sharks in their Super Rugby semi-final against the Stormers in Cape Town on Saturday, coach John Plumtree has confirmed.
The Springbok back missed last week's 30-17 playoff victory over the Reds in Brisbane due to a recurring ankle injury and was left at home to recuperate.
It was expected that he would be fit for the last-four clash if the Durban team got that far, but Plumtree stated otherwise.
"Patrick didn't train today," the Sharks coach said on Tuesday.
"He's doubtful, which is not good news for us, but Louis (Ludik) has been going really well at fullback."
The Sharks held their first training session on Tuesday morning following their return from Australia, though it was only a light workout for their weary-legged players.
Plumtree also confirmed that junior Bok Paul Jordaan, who hobbled off against the Queensland side due to a hamstring injury, faced a race against time to be fit for this weekend's clash. - Sapa

The announcement of the Colonel CK Nayudu Award for Lifetime Achievement came as a bolt from the blue. When the BCCI had started the award in memory of India's first Test captain and first cricketing superstar, the awardees seemed to be in order of seniority of their playing days.
So it started with players from the 40s and then 50s and 60s, and there again pretty much in order of when they played. So if there was a player who had made his debut in the series a couple of Tests before the other, then he got it and then the one who played later.
When Mohinder Amarnath, who made his Test debut a couple of Tests after Gundappa Vishwanath in 1969, was given the award after 'Vishy,' I thought that I was next in line.
- India hungry for England revenge
- Gavaskar to receive CK Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award
- Runs speak louder than words
- Tendulkar gears up for England Tests
The BCCI, however, went back to Salim Durani, who had made his debut in 1961 and then to Ajit Wadekar, who had first played for India in 1966. I thus thought that with some other top players from that era yet to be given the award, I would have to wait for a few more years. I did not mind of course what with patience almost being my middle name and it was good to see Salim and Ajit Wadekar, my skipper when I made my debuts at Mumbai and India, being given the awards.
They richly deserved it and I was happy to wait and that's why when the announcement came through, it was a huge surprise and a pleasant one too.
This, in my view, is Indian cricket's highest award and the biggest accolade a cricketer in India can get and one has just to go through the lists of the winners before to realise what illustrious awardees they have been. It's been truly humbling.
Colonel Nayudu would have been perfectly at home in the cricketing scenario now though, of course, the disciplinarian that he was he would have frowned at some of the things that come with modern-day cricket. He would have especially loved the T20 format which would have suited him. His big hitting even in the days of superlight bats was awesome, to say the least, and his medium-pace bowling would have been pretty useful too.
Let us come back to the present though and the loss in the Champions League of all four Indian Premier League teams could well be a blessing in disguise. This has allowed some players to get a much-needed break and rest up some niggles that will invariably be part of any sport. It also gives them the chance to play some four-day cricket and get in tune mentally and physically with that format of cricket that they will play against England. Sadly, England have lost the number one ranking to South Africa, else it would have
been a great motivating factor for the Indians to try and dethrone them like England did last year. Sure, India wouldn't climb to the number one spot, but still it would have been a feel-good glow.
England have barely won a Test in India after their triumph in 1984-85 and some of their players are referring to this tour as the final frontier. Amazingly, the situation is eerily similar to India's tours of England and Australia last year.
Both England and Australia were vulnerable and there for the taking, but India messed it up and after the first Test of both series, just did not look as if they would win a day leave alone five days of a Test match.
India today are in the same vulnerable position as England and, particularly, Australia were in 2011. Two of their stalwarts Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman have retired and 'the master' did not score too many runs against New Zealand in August. That could well have been because it was too early in the Indian season and against England he has always done well.
Still, with the openers too not quite in form, the batting is looking wobbly. Virat Kohli is the one man in supreme form and hungry for runs and the batting will depend on him, at least at the start of the series. Cheteshwar Pujara is settling down as a number three and the number six batting spot is up for grabs. The settled air that was there at the beginning of 2011 is not there and that is why this is a great chance for England.
The Indian new ball situation also is not too encouraging. Zaheer cannot be discounted as with age he has added variety to his bowling, but Umesh Yadav is still raw and Ishant Sharma's fitness not yet fully tested.
The spinners though could be the key. Ashwin perhaps overdid the 'flicker' in the ICC World Twenty 20 and the Champions League, but is a quick learner, and Ojha is very consistent. On pitches where there is some turn, they could prove tricky customers.
With Kevin Pietersen back in their squad, the England team is much stronger and Ian Bell is too good a player to fail again. It will depend on the starts they get and here Alastair Cook will be the steadying factor. He has a good record in India and if he can bat like he did in his debut series, the final frontier could just be a small hurdle for England. PMG

LIMBURG, Hans; SILVA, Juan C. and FOSTER, Allen. Cataract in Latin America: findings from nine recent surveys. Rev Panam Salud Publica [online]. 2009, vol.25, n.5, pp.449-455. ISSN 1680-5348. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1020-49892009000500011.
OBJECTIVES: To review recent data on blindness and low vision due to cataract in Latin America. METHODS: Presentation of findings from population-based prevalence surveys conducted between 1999 and 2006 in nine Latin American countries covering 30 544 people aged 50 years and older. RESULTS: Prevalence of cataract blindness in people 50 years and older ranged from 0.5% in Buenos Aires to 2.3% in four provinces of Guatemala. Low vision from cataract ranged from 0.9% in Buenos Aires to 10.7% in Piura and Tumbes Districts in Peru. Cataract surgical coverage (CSC) was good in Campinas, Brazil; low in Paraguay, Peru, and Guatemala; and moderate in the other areas. Good visual outcome after cataract surgery nearly conformed to World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines in Buenos Aires (more than 80% of operated eyes able to see 20/60 or better), but ranged from 60% to 79% in most of the other settings, and was less than 60% in Guatemala and Peru. "Unaware that treatment is possible," "contraindications," "cannot afford," and "fear of operation" were the most common explanations for failure to come forward for surgery. CONCLUSIONS: In Campinas, Brazil, cataract is fairly well controlled. In Buenos Aires, the visual outcomes after cataract surgery nearly meet WHO standards. In most countries in Latin America, however, cataract intervention needs to be intensified and visual outcome improved. Reducing the costs of cataract surgery and providing effective health education and adequate program management are essential to combat the expected increase in visual impairment due to cataract in the region.

Barca face tough Champions League test at Bremen
LONDON, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Champions Barcelona face a tough Champions League assignment at Werder Bremen on Wednesday following their opening Group A romp against Levski Sofia.
The Catalans, with five goals in the bag from their home match with the Bulgarians, take on a Bremen side who are looking for their first points after losing at Chelsea.
Barca will be particularly wary of World Cup top scorer Miroslav Klose, who is expected to return after a foot injury.
In one of the toughest groups, Levski host Chelsea with excitement intense in the Bulgarian capital over their first home appearance in Europe's most prestigious club competition.
Levski will be without injured strikers Emil Angelov and Valeri Domovchiiski while Chelsea will be missing midfielder Joe Cole with a knee problem, although their talismanic England captain John Terry is expected to be fit after a back problem.
Inter Milan host Bayern Munich in Group B after a surprise 1-0 defeat at Sporting in Lisbon.
They are without suspended France midfielder Patrick Vieira and the injured Esteban Cambiasso while Bayern are missing England midfielder Owen Hargreaves who has a broken leg.
Sporting go to Spartak Moscow, who were trounced 4-0 by Bayern in their opener. Spartak have lost their last eight Champions League matches but Sporting's record is hardly better, having lost their last five away fixtures.
In Group C, the teams are all square on one point. Girondins Bordeaux take on PSV Eindhoven with playmaker Johan Micoud back after a groin strain.
Liverpool, the 2005 champions, are home to Galatasaray.
In Group D, Shakhtar Donetsk host Olympiakos Piraeus with both sides looking to haul themselves off the bottom of table after first-day defeats.
Valencia, who beat Olympiakos 4-2 in Greece, host an AS Roma side that trounced Shakhtar 4-0 in Rome.

Rd. 1: Kuchar def. Fujita, 3 and 2
MARANA, Ariz. -- Matt Kuchar left the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club at Dove Mountain with a comfortable 3-up advantage through over Hiroyuki Fujita when play was called on Wednesday afternoon. A pair of routine pars at the 15th and 16th holes were good enough for the victory on Thursday.
Kuchar, who shot 1 under, atually had a chance to end things earlier but he missed an 11-footer for birdie to go 4 up at the 15th hole. He will play the winner of the match between Sergio Garcia and Thongchai Jaidee.

Late, Late Night FDL: I Got You
Last night at the Bonnaroo Musicfest, Jack Johnson, was a last minute substitute…
Jack Johnson pulls off the switch at Bonnaroo
Johnson and his band overcame tough odds and thorny logistics to headline the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival on Saturday night, replacing late cancellation Mumford & Sons. The group overcame short notice and thorny logistics to produce a set filled with good humor, mellow vibes and a ton of hits.
"We want to dedicate this whole set to Ted Dwane and all of Mumford & Sons," Johnson said after taking the stage before tens of thousands of fans. "And we wish we could all be here playing music together. Maybe that will be next year." {snip}
There was much speculation among Bonnaroo organizers and watchers about how fans would react to the switch — the first headliner cancellation in 12 years of Bonnaroo. But Johnson quickly won over the crowd and kept its fickle attention with a light touch and his easygoing persona.
"Give us that one," Johnson joked after a flub late in the set. "We practiced for a couple of hours."
Bonnaroo 2013 turned out quite differently from what Johnson was expecting. He hasn't played the festival since 2008 and was in town to do a little light promotion for his new album, "From Here To Now To You," out in September…
I Got You is the first track that Jack has released from his upcoming album…!
Happy Father's Day to all the Dads…!

Carville's take: GOP will nominate Jeb
CNN: Democratic strategist and CNN analyst James Carville tossed out a provocative idea during a panel discussion on politics Tuesday. At CNN's America Votes 2008 Breakfast, the chief architect of Bill Clinton's successful 1992 presidential run predicted that former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will be the Republican nominee in 2008. Jeb is a younger brother of President Bush.
Carville bolstered his prediction, highlighting Jeb Bush's career: He was a successful governor of a large state, he enjoys the support of social conservatives, he speaks Spanish, and "he's somebody the party could rally around," Carville said. "There is nobody in this field who can rally the Republican Party; he's the only person in America that can do it," he added.

A self-filtering unstable resonator with magnification |M| = 5 has been applied to a pulsed UV-preionized XeCl excimer laser. In agreement with numerical results it is experimentally shown that less than two cavity round trips are needed to establish a steady state lowest-order mode. A diffraction-limited laser beam with a brightness of 1.5 × 1013 W cm−2 sr−1 has been obtained.

Best Way To Attract Deer And Hogs?

Corn works!
Yes, deer and hogs will eat it. You don't have to do anything to it and they will eat it. Having a proper delivery system will make it a lot easier on you to provide the corn and then ideally concentrate your population at least during feeding periods.
You can use soured corn, but I haven't seen anybody with a good metering system that dispenses it at regular intervals. You can dig a post hole and fill it with corn, but then you have to dig a hog and if the hogs get into it (which you hope) then your post hole grows exponentially in size and sooner or later you need to back fill it. Digging and backfilling can be a lot of unnecessary work.
Pig pipes are great for pigs, but have to be filled fairly often once the pigs find them. You can attach a bell on the pipe and hear from a distance when the animals are getting after the pipe, but unless you can fill it every few days, a pig pipe may not be the way to go.
On demand gravity feeders do a good job, but can be emptied by pigs in short order as well.
Motorized dispersing feeders, depending on size can cost $100-500+ (I have never paid more than 140 and if you do fabrication, you can save a lot of money) and can meter out corn or a specific schedule (digital timer) with multiple feeding times and varied amounts of dispensed corn. As mine are smaller feeders, I get about 3-4 weeks of feeding out of 75 lbs from one feeder and closer to 10 weeks out of 150 lbs from the other.
Food plots can be absolutely wonderful. They can also be a lot of work, are not portable, and as with farmers, your food plot can readily be killed by nature. Food plots can be relatively pricey when you consider time and equipment involved and their appeal really varies over time, but it can be a fairly long period of time if not wiped out early. My winter plot (planted in late Sept) has provided browse for the deer all winter (becoming of interest in December after the acorns started to become scarce) and now has a particular appeal to a population of turkeys (though they seem to be harvesting bugs from it, not the plants yet as there is no grain). The hogs have already destroyed about 10% of it from rooting over the course of just 2 nights and if last year is any indication, the hogs and deer will virtually obliterate everything in about 3 weeks time once the grain comes in to maturity.
What goes in your food plot will vary depending on your local environmental conditions and how much work you want to put into it. On some of the hunting forums, there are guys who grow award-winning-like food plots that have electric fences on them for the first few weeks, install irrigation systems, fertilize, pesticide, herbicide, etc., just like growing real crops for human consumption. They grow wonderful plots and have good hunting, but they also have significant investments in time, labor, and materials. I like to plant forage that will thrive well in the local conditions without all that work.
"If you look through your scope and see your shoe, aim higher." -- said to me by my 11 year old daughter before going out for hogs 8/13/2011

Councilors thumb noses at voters, City Charter
Grand Junction City Councilor Jim Doody's reaction to his colleagues Tuesday night — walking out in the midst of a tense meeting — may have been a bit theatrical, but it's easy to understand his frustration.
Three of his fellow City Council members decided not only to reject a public election for the two vacant seats on the council, but to "temporarily" reinterpret the City Charter to ensure the votes of Doody and Councilor Bennett Boeschenstein were essentially nullified.
We believe the citizens of Grand Junction should have an opportunity to vote on the two vacant seats on the council — one that was held by the late Harry Butler and one vacated just this week by Rick Brainard.
That's especially true since Butler wasn't one of the so-called "chambermades," candidates recruited and supported for the City Council by the Grand Junction Area Chamber of Commerce.
The three members in the majority on the council Tuesday evening — Marty Chazen, Phyllis Norris and Mayor Sam Susuras — all enjoy the support of the chamber, and they would like nothing better than to appoint new council members who share their political and ideological views to the currently vacant seats.
However, while the City Charter allows the sitting council members to appoint people to fill council vacancies, this is a unique situation.
Two council seats have become vacant within a few months after their occupants were elected — one as a result of death and one due to resignation under political pressure. Two of the other City Council members, Norris and Chazen, are also newcomers.
It makes far more sense to allow voters to decide who should fill those two vacant positions — and the people elected to fill those spots will have far more credibility than they will if a bloc of council members representing one particular organization manipulates the established council rules in order to choose the new members.
And manipulate they did Tuesday.
The City Council normally has seven members, and the City Charter requires a majority of the members to support any action for it to pass. It has generally been assumed that means at least four members of the council must vote "Yea" on an item for the item to be approved.
But on Tuesday, the council decided that because there are currently only five council members, a three-member majority would be sufficient to appoint someone to fill the Butler vacancy.
And how did councilors reach this determination? Why, by three members agreeing that only three votes are required. Talk about a stacked deck.
The credibility of the current City Council, already low, took another significant hit this week.

the Roosa-De Jongh Families
By Dirk P. De Young, Avenel, NJ. Former American Consul at Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Provided to us by Mike Holland
The October, 1938, issue of "The New York Genealogical And Biographical Record" contains an article on the Roosa-De Jongh families of America, of interest to all who descend from Aldert or Alert Hymansen Roosa and his wife Wilhelmina De Jongh, early settlers of Ulster COunty, New York. I have noted references to this family in previous issues of "The Record", with some confusion regarding "Wijntje Ariens", the wife of Alert Hymensen Roosa, and her maiden name De Jongh. I am therefore of the opinion that some official records I have gathered on the subject will be of interest, inasmuch as I have authenic data on the ancestry of the wife of Alert Hymansen Roosa going back to 1500 or further. As this is a branch of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's lineage also, it is more interesting. These records have been gathered in an extended research over a period of years, at considerable expense, because my own De Jongh ancestry is out of the same locality.
The "Wijntje Ariens" lineage, as I shall endeavor to make clear from documentary records later, is as follows:
To prove this line I have the following records extracted from the "Gerechtelijke Archieven van de Gerichtbank van Tuil", Province of Gelderland, 1588-1681, the judicial archives of the District Court of the district that embraces Herwijnen.
(1) June 29, 1664. Arien Ariensen De Jongh (this was a brother of "Wijntje Ariens") coveyed land in Herwijnen to Peter Jans Beuschem, by virtue of a power of attorney given him by Alert Hymansen Roosa (husband of Wijntje) on February 28, 1660, and the security given to bind the transaction was Alert Hymansen Roosa's interest in the estate of the late Adrian Meertensen De Jongh, to assure the buyer that any taxes on the same back as far as 1626 would be paid.
The estate mentioned was apparently that of the father of Wilhelmina De Jongh, wife of Alert Hymansen Roosa, as he would have acted for her. This document also indicates that Adrian Meertensen De Jongh was the owner of the land as early as 1626, and it reveals that the father of Adrian Meertensen De Jongh was Meerten.
(2) March 3, 1660. Alert Hymansen Roosa, living in Herwijnen, conveyed half a tract of land as yet undivided between the heirs of Govert Ariensen De Jongh, in Hellouw (a mile or so from Herwijnen), and again he pledged his interest in the estate of the late Adrian Meertensen De Jongh as security for the fulfillment of the contract. It is further proof that the wife of Alert or Aldert Hymansen Roosa was the daughter of Adrian Meertensen De Jongh. The De Jongh family owned large fowler preserves in Hellouw in the seventeenth century.
(3) March 20, 1637. Jan Corneliuse van Munster conveyed land in Hellouw to Meerten Arien's De Jongh, from which we may infer that Meerten De Jongh was the father of Adrian Meertensen De Jongh, the father of Wilhelmina (Wijntje) Ariens De Jongh.
(4) April 26, 1632. Joris Ariensen De Jongh made a conveyance of land in Herwijnen, and gave as security for the contract his interest in the estate of his grandfather, Joris Ariensen De Jongh: This document proves that the above conveyor was, as early as 1632, in Herwijnen, had a great grandfather Adrian De Jongh, who must have been born about 1500 or earlier, and who was probably the great-great-grandfather of Wilhelmina Ariens De Jongh. Other De Jongh families in Holland claim that. (Reference: "Nederlandsche Leeuw", 1922, page 283, and Volume I, page 457).
(5) January 11, 1631. Adriaen Evertsen Groot, heir of Jan Adriensen Groot, conveyed land in Herwijnen to Adrian Adriensen Joriazoon De Jongh-Adrian, son of Adrian, son of Joris, son of Adrian De Jongh, which again throws the De Jongh ancestry of that locality back to an Adrian De Jongh born not later than 1500.
Although the name of the family of De Jonghs was sometimes spelled "de Jong", or "D'Jong", in the judicial archives it was almost always spelled "De Jongh", and the signatures were invariably written "De Jongh". I have also extracted numerous documents from the old wills preserved in Gorinchem, a few miles from Herwijnen, where the family name was also invariably spelled "De Jongh". The name "Adrian" is also found in practically all branches of the family, and records in Gorinchem reveal "Adrian De Jonghs" earlyier even than in Herwijnen and in our branch of the family as late as my grandfather the given name "Adrian" prevailed.
I have tried, so far in vain, to trace the origin of this De Jongh family back to the De Jonghe family of Ghent and Bruges, where their arms were registered as early as 1280, one of the patrician families of Flanders. It is my belief, however, that we do spring from that origin, where the letter "h" in our name had its origin. The families of the name of Holland origin rarely used the letter "h". In Herwijnen, and elsewhere, these de Jonghs generally held official positions where they resided.
A grandson of Adrian
Meertensen De Jongh, the father of Wilhelmina Ariens De Jongh,
namely Dominus (Reverend) Martinus Adrianuse De Jongh, born
in 1704, became a very noted Dutch Reformed minister and was
the minister of the Dutch church in London for many years,
and a son, a grandson, and a great grandson of his, were all
great preachers in their day. The great

New from bleak aesthete, Hedi Slimane comes an extensive coffee-table book series entitled Hedi Slimane: Anthology of a Decade. The set is comprised of Slimane's photographic documentation of the European music scene, the New York art scene, global street fashion and (of course) his campaigns for Dior Homme. The anthology is split into four separate books characterized by region - FR, UK, DE/RU and US – each with a distinct focus on a different aspect of Slimane's extensive work. For the Francophile fashion-freak, FR is where one can find the majority of Hedi's haute couture work with Yves Saint Laurent and Dior as well as the requisite documentation of his historical launch of Dior Homme into the fashion stratosphere. Infused with Slimane's trademark androgynous, glamorous and sleek sex-fueled aesthetic, Anthology of a Decade is revelatory as a testament to the talents of one of the greatest designers, photographers and art directors of the last 10 years. The anthology is published in a limited edition of 1,500 copies and retails for $300.

While plenty of high-yield opportunities exist, investors must always consider the safety of their dividend and the total return potential of their investment. It is not uncommon for a struggling company to suspend high-yielding dividends and subsequently result in precipitous share price declines.
TheStreet Ratings' stock rating model views dividends favorably, but not so much that other factors are disregarded. Our model gauges the relationship between risk and reward in several ways, including: the pricing drawdown as compared to potential profit volatility, i.e. how much one is willing to risk in order to earn profits?; the level of acceptable volatility for highly performing stocks; the current valuation as compared to projected earnings growth; and the financial strength of the underlying company as compared to its stock's valuation as compared to its stock's performance.
These and many more derived observations are then combined, ranked, weighted, and scenario-tested to create a more complete analysis. The result is a systematic and disciplined method of selecting stocks. As always, stock ratings should not be treated as gospel — rather, use them as a starting point for your own research.
The following pages contain our analysis of 5 stocks with substantial yields, that ultimately, we have rated "Buy."
Access Midstream PartnersDividend Yield: 4.10% Access Midstream Partners (NYSE: ACMP) shares currently have a dividend yield of 4.10%. Access Midstream Partners, L.P. owns, operates, develops, and acquires natural gas, natural gas liquids and oil gathering systems, and other midstream energy assets in the United States. It focuses on natural gas and natural gas liquids gathering operations. The company has a P/E ratio of 50.15. The average volume for Access Midstream Partners has been 524,400 shares per day over the past 30 days. Access Midstream Partners has a market cap of $4.9 billion and is part of the energy industry. Shares are up 37.7% year to date as of the close of trading on Monday. TheStreet Ratings rates Access Midstream Partners as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, increase in net income, good cash flow from operations, expanding profit margins and solid stock price performance. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat disappointing return on equity. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- ACMP's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 10.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 53.2%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry average. The net income increased by 13.7% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $52.37 million to $59.54 million.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $80.13 million or 19.21% when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of -25.53%.
- The gross profit margin for ACCESS MIDSTREAM PARTNERS LP is rather high; currently it is at 65.10%. Regardless of ACMP's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, ACMP's net profit margin of 25.12% significantly outperformed against the industry.
- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, ACMP's share price has jumped by 67.82%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Looking ahead, the stock's sharp rise over the last year has already helped drive it to a level which is relatively expensive compared to the rest of its industry. We feel, however, that other strengths this company displays justify these higher price levels.
