KINTA!
Now is your chance to buy
a lot in the great town of
KINTA I. T., the home of
the Governor of the Choc
taw Nation and the selected
county seat of Sans Bois
county. Get in on the
ground floor and buy now;
lots are selling at $45.00 on
the payment plan.
I believe at the opening,
if you desire, you can sell
your lots for five times
what you paid. Just",look •
back at Enid, it gained 7,000
in three years. El Reno has,
in the mean time, grown
6.000. Blackwell has, in
the same time, gained about
5.000. Oklahoma City has
in thirty-six months gained
12.000.
A salesman for the Sim
mons Hardware Co... was
offered four lots at Tulsa,
I. T., two years ago for
$275.00; these same lots sold
a short time ago for $10,000.
I candidly believe Kinta
will equal, if not excel, any
of these above mentioned.
You can not buy more
than five lots. Send me
$5.00 today as first pay
ment, or write for descrip
tive literature.

CABLES HARD TO MAINTAIN
Six Lines Damaged by a Typhoon
Which Lately Swept the
China Sea.
-
The difficulty attending the efficient
| maintenance of the network of sub
j marine telegraph cables, by which in
i f.elligence is flashed to the uttermost
ensd of the earth, is illustrated by the
reports of the newspapers that no few
er than six of these cables were dam
aged by the typhoon which recently
raged over the east coast of China.
The various cable companies are, of
course, prepared for contingencies at
this kind, and a fleet of some 46 spe
! daily constructed vessels are con
stantly employed in laying and repair
ing cables in different parts of the
! world.
The magnitude of operations
may be realized when It U said that
j the length of the cable lying along the
the bed of the ocean Is something like
j 226,000 miles. Of these considerably
more than one-half are British, while
British messages number 100,000,000
I words per annum. The cables lie at
i various depths, the greatest known
depth of the ocean being 5.68 miles in
the North Paicfic.
“Our cables are tested every week,’’
| said an official of the Eastern Tele
graph company, to a London newspaper
man, “and when a fault Is detected a
repairing-ship is sent to the spot.
These ships are stationed at various
centers, such as Gibraltar, Aden.
Singapore, and the west and east coasts
i of Africa, and there Is always a re
serve stock of cables kept in tanks
at certain stations.
“In shallow water the cables are
sometimes fouled by the anchors of
ships, and at the mouths of large
rivers there Is sometimes trouhla
1 when trunks of trees and other ob
jects are swept into the sea and forced
by the strong currents against the
cables. Then there are boring in
sects like the teredo, which bores its
way between the strands of iron wire
twisted round the core of the cable
but in our newer cables we have pro
vided against the depredations of the
teredo by a sheathing of brass colled
around the cable like a ribbon.”
“NO CARE” FOR COUNTY.
National Spirit of Jap and Russ in
Marked Contrast the World
Over.
In an old corner of Boston where
many races mingle a polite little Jap
anese artist has his studio, and paint3
lamp-shades and screens for his mer
1 chant fellow countrymen. On the
I Monday of Admiral Togo’s victory, re
I lates Youth’s Companion, he was ex
citedly discussing the event with an
American customer when the door
opened and a red-bearded Russian
peddler entered with a bulging satchel.
; "Ha!” exclaimed the intruder, in a
big voice. “You buy to-day? Yes?
Shoe-string? Knife.' Shawl?”
"No! No! No!" cried the "Jap,” ex
cletdly. “You go out. You go out.
I buy nothing to-day. Togo—he whip
—take all—capture Russian—I make no
trade with you.”
"Aha!” exclaimed the Russian again,
his face lighting up with a new in
terest. “You Japan?” He pointed a
lean finger accusingly at the Jap. "I
Russian! You no make trade with me
— make fight with me? Yes?”
"Yes, I make fight with you,” agreed
the Jap; but before he could do so the
Russian had already burst into a ge
nial laugh.
"Poof!” he said, making a great
sound. “Russia! What care I? Rus
sia! I not care anything. I come
away. In America I have gladness
that Russia is capture.” He held out
his pack toward the Jap ingratiatingly.
"Now you make trade with me?
Yes?”
rPU„ Tof him SPH m f II11 V.
then turned to the American, with a
deprecatory gesture.
“Such we tight!” he exclaimed. “No
good a4- all. How can he be any
good who has not care for his coun
try?”
Certainly no one has accused the is
landers of lacking that care—but it
-nay be that for a better country, or,
rather, a better government. Ivan, too,
might have developed patriotism.
Highland Funerals.
A Scottish correspondent writes of
funerals in the Highlands. “There are
jo undertakers here. A carpenter
1 makes the simple coffin, relatives and
friends carry it, hip high, to Its last
resting place, which is dug when the
end of the journey is reached, and,
having walked perhaps six miles to
the chosen kirkyard, they take a re
freshment of sandwiches and whisky
and walk home again. The rigorous
i absence of pomp is maintained, but
there Is the added embellishment of
pipe music."
His Mistake.
“I am free to admit that I made a mis
take when I removed that man’s appen
dix.”
“Didn't have appendicitis, eh?”
“O, he had appendicitis, all right, but
he didn’t have any money.”—Houston
Post.
Noise Enough.
“Why do you say that your husband
(s such a loud dresses? He dresses
quietly, it seems to me.*;’ ,
“You wouldn’t say so if you heard bliB
gome time trying to put on a collar.”—

HOERS A PUBLIC MENACE.
“
People and Stock Are KiTlod by Sav
age Beasts In Mexican
Territory.
Tigers, driven from their mountain
imlrs In the territory at Teplc by the
joaretty of food, continue to ravage the
haeienda* of the valleys. They are be
soming such a general danger, says the
Mexican Herald, that the municipal au
thorities have offered a reward of (10
for every tiger’s skin.
For the past several months great
numbers of the animals have swarmed
through the marshes of the lowlands
along the coast and In the valley* of
the territory of Teplc, having b*e»
driven out of the states of Sinaloa and
Honor* by the floods and the exteamely
cold weather. The damage fmuted to
the h&ciendadoe and the ' dangei In
curred by the presene* of the animals
was euch that many of them offered
| rewards for the skin* of the animals
; *ome time ago.
The tigers, however, seem to like the
warm weather and the good food that
they are getting la Teplc and instead o(
decreasing their numbers have greatly
increased within the last few weeks.
Now the municipal authorities of the
territory have also offered a reward for
the oklns of the animals.
The tigers have become so bold that
they will enter the houses on the plan
tations and help themselves to what
ever comes in their path. Severs}
deaths are reported In different parts
of the territory. In many sections of
the state it is necessary to have armed
guards stationed at night, to Insure

Live stock la suffering more than
anything else. With the slight pro
visions that are necessary for the shel
ter of the stock, It leaves them in most
caaea without any protection at ail
from the beasts. Even the presence
of numerous guard* around a bunch of
cattle is oftentimes insufficient to keep
the tigers from getting away with an
animal or two from along the edges
of the herd.
Hunting for the animals has been
greatly stimulated by the offers of the
government and scores of hunters are
scouring the country for them. The
number of the skins that have been
turned in thus far is large and It is
hoped that it will not be long before
the animals are driven back to the
seclusion of the mountains,
WAKING IN THE WILDERNESS
How to Get Out of Bed When the
Thermometer Registers forty
Below Zero.
Tou are awakened In the bitter dark
ness of the early morning by the
sound of the camp dogs moving among
the frozen pails of refuse. You hear
their padding footsteps passing this
way and that outside of the tents and
the brushing of their bodies against
the canvas wails. Then you hear the
sound of chopping wood where some
one is at work in the starlight, says
the Boston Globe. One of the men
stirs and rises in the darkness. The
tent Is bitter cold, with everything
frozen as hard as iron. You hear the
man fumbling around in the darkness
for the matches, and presently he
strikes one and lights a candle.
Presently he begins chopping the
wood for the stove, and his big, round
snadow moves uncouthiy and gro
tesquely about the walls as the flam*
of the candle wavers in the draught
of cold air. He makes a fire, and in
a moment the flame is roaring up the
stovepipe,’i which gradually becomes a
dull red with the gushing heat. He
stands with his back to the stove and
presently the other man rises and
joins him.
Then you yourself move reluctantly
In your warm swaddling of furs, and
with some effort crawl out into th«
bitter cold and joint the others around
the stove. None of you speak, but
each absorbs the scanty heat in
silence. By and by, warmed to some
rot urn life vnn noon r\nf tVia
tent; the sky is like black crystal, the
stars shining with incredible efful
gence. From the stovepipe of ths
other tents rockets of flame are gush
ing up into the air; showers of sparki
rise up into the night high overhead
—hover, waver, and then sink dwind
ling upon the tent and tin surround
ing snow.
You look at the thermometer hang
ing against a tree and see by the llghl
of a match that It is 40 degrees below
zero. By this time the smell of cook
ing is filling the silent frozen spaces
of the darkness and you reenter the
tent to hug again the warmth of ths
stove, with a huge appetite for the
rude breakfast of melted grease and
glllettes.
Explosions on Old Battle-Fields.
The forests in ttye mountains known
as Loudon Heights, opposite Harper’s
! Ferry, took fire recently and burned
with great intensity. After some time
a series of -explosions were heard
which startled the inhabitants, and the
oencusslon was so great that it broke
, windows in some houses in Harper’s
! Ferry, across the Shenandoah. The ex
plosions were caused by the bursting
of shells which had been thrown oh
the heights at the time when Gen.
1 Mills surrendered to Stonewall Jack?
son In 1862. These had failed to ex
plode when they were fired, and had
remained there tor more than 40 years.
