Oklahoma statehood bill moves toward final adoption
The Oklahoma and Indian Territories statehood measure has cleared both chambers and awaits presidential signing. A state convention will draft a constitution, with voters ratifying it, before admission. Guthrie will be the capital until 1913, then a legislature designates a new seat. Oklahoma will send five representatives and two senators, with rich resources and rapid growth expected. The act preserves a strong school fund by delaying land sales until 1915 and placing both agricultural and mining lands under school control. Meanwhile a peaceful Monday morning park scene showed a relaxed public, despite a few lingering Sunday-reading remnants and stray flies kuulu.
