Councilman Woods suc- ceeded in getting 2 mora mills added to the water department and an equal amount to fire. This makes the total levy 9% mills, aside from the school levy of 9 milis, which malkes it the largest in the history of the city. This is explained on the ground that while the expenses of the city have been in- creasing year by year, the i ed valua- tion is returned at about the same figures, and this year was less than the previous one Considerale debato ersued on the matter of allowing a balance of a ¢ 3 nor fire alarm system to be in ted in the judgment fund levy, and after adopting it once the council reconsiderca it twice, and finally refused to doso, Woods introduced a resolution direoting the appointment of a committee to confer with the duct contractors to arrange terms for the cancellation of the contract as at present, so that the work may be begun under the Oakiey law, but it was lost. ¥ Court K Trving A, Benton man with a peculiar Some two months ago he pur- er shop from C.

The number of people here today is estimated from 15,000 to 20,000, and they are constantly streaming in. This may be | attributed to the excellent entertainment provided and the perfect weather for camp life that tke weather man is providing. The sun is shedding its brightest rays, the tem- | perature is delightful, with a cool southern breeze floating over the camp.

The only unpleasant occurrence was at tho camp fire at a late hour last night. A gentle- man who formerly hailed from Missouri and is now connected with a jag establishment at Kearnoy, wanted to makea spoech and he was given the priviloge. He warmed up to his task and then undertook to give the vet- erans & hypodermic injection of veople's partyism and Weaverism. It didn't go, and in less time than_ he could wink he was shut off. His allusion to General Weaver as the grand old man, did not evoke applause, but aroused the veteran wrath. Commander Church had just stepffed on the platform and he an- nounced that politics were not to be dis- cussed. The only question in that line to be considered 1s pensions and he thought it per- fectly proper that the veterans should be vermitted to air their views on that subject. "The commnander's little speech had the de- sired effect and cooled the blood of those who were in an angry mood. ?

When theal- lotments were made the Cherokoes picked them near projected county seats. The lo- cation of county seats was then changed by the department to circumvent them. The proclamation states that the allotments shall be made only on lands on which per- manent improvements have been made, with the exception of Chief Bushyhead, who was permitted to pick his allotment where he chose. The allotments already amount to over seventy and there are still other claim- ants who will have to go into court to settlo their rights. The allotments have not been made on lands on which there are perma- nent improvements, and as they will inter- fere seriously witha number of townsite schemes, they will be contested. The state of affairs on the Strivp in reference to allot- ments, registering and sooners is in bad shape and is going to cause no end of trouble in the land offices after the Strip is opened.
