Lincoln dispatch: There has been 1
considerable curiosity around the state
house as to what would be the final
outcome of the matter of the warrants
drawn by the stute auditor on the
state general fund in payment of the
940,000 of bounty claimed by the beet
sugar manufacturers from the ptate.
The auditor took the ground that al
though there was no appropriation
for this specific purpose, that since the
| secretary of state had certified to him
that the soger made had been inspeia .
ted and amounted to so much there I
was no choice but for him, the auditor, i
to issue the warrants under the man
datory.
The Opponents of tiie bounty it has
been supposed would take some action
to prevent the payment of the war
rants by the state treasurer. Just
what this would he has been the sub
ject of much speculation.

Land Commissioner Russell has lately
received a great many remittances for
leases due on public lands far below
the minimum amount, which lie feels 1
disposed to accept for such rents. In

acres, but lie bus taken as low as l.r»

believes the time has come to draw the
line, and has returned these low ren
tals witli the statement that It will not
do. Many of the petty payments are
being made by speculators, which
makes the attempt to euchre the stale
much more reprehensible. The low
payment of lft cents has been uccepted
on the supposition that the parties were

Okt.aiioma City, Okla., Jan. 0.—The
town la tilled with delegatee to the
Statehood convention, which com
menced to-day. Nearly all of them
are in favor of Statehood for Okla
homa, but there are almost aa many
schemes tor attaining it aa there are
delegates Ever since Oklahoma was
first opened to aettlement there has
been an Intense rivalry between the
different towns. congress provided
that the first legislature of Oklahoma
should meet st Guthrie and fix the ter
ritorial capital. Then began a fight
of the bitterest kind between the dif
ferent towns. !/agi*)atures voted th*
capital three time* to Oklahoma City
and once to Kingfisher, nut Governor
Steele vetoed it each time, and the
capital remain* at Guthrie.
The location of the future capital of
Oklahoma as a state will depend
largely on the boundary lines o f i Ilf
new slate. If a stale ia made of Okla
homa with Its present boundaries,
Kingfisher or K1 Reno would be near
the center and would stand belter
chances for the cupltol than either
Perry, Guthrie or Oklahornu City, on
the extreme eastern edge of the stale.
Ho Kingfisher and El Reno favor im
mediate statehood of Oklahoma with
Its present bounds, and the Perry,
Guthrie and Oklahoma City people are
against It.
Oklahoma City want* a single state
made of Oklahoma territory. That
would make Oklahoma City the
geographical center of the state and
put her first in the race for the cap
ital. This loeal feeling about the fu
ture location of the capital is one of
the great element* In the fight for
atateiiood and must not be lost sight
of by anyone who desire* to under
stand the situation here.
A large element In the convention
will favor the formation of a State out
of Oklahornu. with the Chickasaw na
tion added, and with a provision for
allowing the other nation* of the In
dian Territory to come in aa they
wish, with the consent of Congress.
Home Kcpubllcan* oppose I his, because
Oklahoma is Republican and nine out
of ten people in the Chickasaw ns'.,on
are Democrats, and that would make
111#* Stall* of ( JU III Ilf illlii I JfflKKTfltif*
Republicans say it is a schema of the
Democrats to capture the State, anil
they would rather see a State made of
Oklahoma with its present boundaries.
