To tie Editor Of the Eagle.
Old Santa Claus visited our place on
Christmas evening, brought with him su.
perabundance Of the good things, and our
little folks were made happy once more.
The Attica Hall was crowded to its utmost
capacity, and good music, both vocal an in
strumental, was the order of the evening.
The rains, slect and snow have done inn
mense good to the growing crop, and,
though somewhat discouraged by the short
crops Of 70 and 50, the farmers have every.
thing to encourage them now, and nothing
short ola terrible calamity can prevent .
most bOuntiful harvest the coming summer.

WHAT oKIAaoxA u REALLY LIKE.

We give place to q lengthy communication
on the Oklahoma question this week from the
pen of gentleman who has lived in the Ter
ty. lie treats the question at some length
from legal standpoint. But the question
reaches back OF all mere treaties and enact
ments. The settlement of the Territory
means the extinction of the Indian race.
That is u point that needs no argument. The
Indian is not civilized, aud all experience has
shown that that the enforcement Of civiliEa-
ton simply means his destruction-his eX-
iinction. Secretary Schurz's Glands in sew
crafty" scheme means also the pauperization
first, followed speedily by extinction. Ifex-
tinction is the game then the most humane,
as the most inexpensive method would be to
shoot him down in his lodge. To destroy
the triba. relation OF the Indian is hut spe-
cies Of slow murder. TO allow white settle
ments to encroact upon his reservations
means the same thing. The opening up to
settlement Of any portion Of the Indian Ter
ritory is the knell Of the red man. 1t is the
last spot left to him on continent which was
his own in entirety. There is no other place
to send him.
Az to the character Of the lands Of the In
dian Territory for agricultural purposes, es-
pecialy of that portion now sought to be set
tied by the so-called boomers, the picture has
been not only greatly Overdrawn but exag-
gerated to an infinite degree. The west half
of the Indian Territory or, in fact, all west
\, lol. hut
parison 10 the settled portion of Kansas for
either stock raising or agricultural purposes.
Outside of a few little narrow valleys ana the
nine. out Of ten Of the boomers
would starye to death II forced to subsst OH
the products of the country. The soil Of the
prairies is thin and a.kalied with subsoil OF
gumbo or hardpsn. Being contiguous to the
lands of Northwestern Texas they are much |
like them-ft only for grazing purposes and
not very good for that. All or nearly all Of
the desirable lands in the Indian Territory |
are comprised in the eastern portion aud they |
lie within the boundaries of Indian Reserves. |
The truth is, as everybody who has traversed
them knows, that even the east half has been
extollcd beyond merit or the facts. The |
whole scheme Of settlement Is one of specu.
lstiOn and not one of bona fide intent. There |
is but very small per cent. of the lands of
the western half of the Territory that will
compare with the lands Of Harper, kingman
and Barbour counties, or with tens OF tho,is- |
ands Of homesteads yet TO be taken in Kan
sas. The claim that the boomers consist OF
men who have been starving in Kansas aud
IRE hunting permanent homes is too thin to
deny. personally know four out of five
Of the leading spirits aud we run no risk OF
farms in Kansas or anywhere else. that they
have nor can command neither money or in

expects to do a legitimate days farm work
