NOTES FROM OKLAHOMA
Impressions of Oklahoma Gathered
on the Wing by an Indepen
dence County Citizen.
Editor The Journal:
Leaving Blue Mountain at 7 p.
m, November 16 on tin* west bound
Rock Island train 1 had an all
night run, so I did not see much
ot the Indian territory, anu arm
ed at Shawnee, O. T., at 5 a. m.
310 miles west of Little Kock. \ou
may have some idea of how I felt
after the run all night.
This is a city of about 15,000
inhabitants. They have street
cars, water works and electric
lights. The Santa Fee crosses the
Rock Island here; also a branch
road runs out from here. There
is a good business done here. Think
of a city of only about 15 years
old of its size. 1 left here at about
one ]>. m. November 17, for
Chuckahoo, which is about thirty
miles north on the Santa Fee, in
Lincoln county. We ran through
some good country; a good deal of
priarie. About Shawnee is a tine
potato country, and well as other
products. The principal crops are
corn and cotton. Wheat is raised
north about Cushing, as the land
is better adapted to its growth up
i there. There is lots of fruit rat -
ed here also.
Religiously, almost all denomi
nations are represented here, and
many that we know but litte about
in Arkansas. Rut this is easily
accounted for, as people have set
tled here from almost every where.
1 hear that there is to be a relig
ious discussion at Cushing Novem
ber -♦» between the Baptists and
Adventists.
Politically, this county, and also
Payne county, went Republican
except one or two offices in each
county. Most of the people 1 have
talked with are for single state
hood. Land is high, and runs
from ten to forty dollars per acre,
according to the situation. Most
all the farms are quarter sections;
very few smaller or larger. We
i travel on section lines. 1 hey
! fence thrir pastures while the
j farms go unfenced, though some
: have two or three wires around
their farms, so they can pasture
after crops are gathered. Very
little land rents for standing rent,
j but rents for third and fourth ot
the crop.
une nanu can cuun mib ni
a third more here than in our
country, ami much easier. I con
sider this a much better country
than ours,even for a renter. \\ ater
is plentiful; mostly drilled wells.
As to health, that is good. Cattle
are cheap, but good horses and
mules bring from Sloo to £125 a
head.
The wind blows a good portion
of the time, but it is dry, A good
many windmills are used for pump
mg water. Corn is selling at 4<>
to 50 cents per bushel. Most
farmers husk their corn, except,
as the people here say, the Arkan
sans snap it.
The school land here is not on
the market yet, but can be leased,
and lots of land is leased from tin*
Indians, as lots of it has been al
lotted and but very few of the In
dians will work themselves. But
who blames them' Uncle Sam is
seeing after them. J.I.Mautin.

MONEY IN THE ZUYDER ZEE
Over $5,000,000 Said to Be Waiting
for a Finder Under Hol
land Waters.
Ever heard of the North sea el
dorado? Well, if you take a sub
marine trip round the Zuyder Zee
you may run against $5,000,000 or
so, of which should you take it
along to Lloyd’s, you are legally
entitled to half, which will be your
salvage dues, says Stray Stories.
Underneath the sea lie the re
mains of the treasure ship La Lu
tine, which sunk and lost all save
one of its crew in 1791). Its cargo
was money, which was being sent
by merchants in the city to Ham
burg.
At the time Britain was at war
with Holland, and by the law the
boat was claimed by Holland as
prize money, and though it lay at
the bottom of the sea she had a
perfect right to it.
The first thing that happened
was for some Dutch fishermen to
start diving for the treasure.
After several plucky operations
they rescued $27S.500.
Then 57 years passed, and, save
for a few futile efforts, nothing
»«l> UlMir IU II * IU ICBtUt* lilt' r(»
mainder.
The Dutch government, after
the war, resigned their claim to
this submarine gold mine, and left
in open to onyone to salve the
treasure, on the understanding
that half was to go to Lloyd’s.
In lSoT. a Dutch company, after
over 50 years of delay and dispute,
was formed and set to work, suc
ceeding in two years in gettin<»
1220,000.
MAKING OF FINE LACES.
Nearest Americans Can Come to the
Imported Article Is a Cheap
Imitation.
“Fine laces,” said W. W. Chaee,
to a Louisville Herald man, “con
stit ute one of the most readily sal
able classes of merchandise which
is imported to this country, and it
is a source of wonder that Ameri
can genius has not devised some
way in which to meet this demand
with a domestic article which will
serve the purpose and can lx* sold
at something like the same price.
“lint it has not,” he continued.
“\\> have had many machines in
vented, but the nearest we can
come is to manufacture a type of
lace which is naturally cheap, and
does not in any sense approach its
hand-made, foreign rival. Of
course, American women could be
taught in time to knit such tine
fabrics as their sisters do in Ire
land. England. France, Germany
and Spain, but we in this country
are too busy making money to
waste time in that way.
“1 have traveled all over Europe,
and the most interesting method
I lit I t I II Cl l *
»u mil iv 111iit» <* mn
came across was at IMauen, Oer
nmnv. It is woven on a kind of
bolt iu^ cloth made of fine silk,and
after the pattern is completed a
certain acid, parts of which are
kept secret, is applied and the bolt
ing elofh eaten away, leaving only
the lace. They also have a way of
altering the strength of the acid
in order to give t he lace a rich, old
color.”
Two Strausses.
Never was then* worse confu
sion caused by similarity of names
than between Strauss, the tone
poet, and St rauss, t lie composer of
the celebrated ‘‘Illue I)anube”and
many other waltzes. What makes
the muddle more amusing is the
fact that tin* two Strausses are
quite intimate with one another,
and when the tone poet is congrat
ulated— as he often is—on tic*
success of the waltzes he did not j
write, lie at once sits down and
humorously relates his experience
• in a letter to his frind.
When Gamblers Should Quit.
The London Sketch says a pro
fessional betting man should go
out of business when 50 years old.
After that age a man makes mis
takes. Between 50 and 65 he
stands to lose 75 per cent, of what
i he accumulated before 50.
