The people Of Vinita, 1. T., are
preparing for = fair this fall. The
crops and fruit Of that section OF
the Territory were never better.
Slowly but surely are the great
natural resources of the Territory
being developed, and the day is
not far distant when it viii be Sec
ond 10 no section Of country ofthis
hemisphere. = The off,
GERS Of the Indian Territory have
been making il redsbot for whisky
introducers. 1t is certainly very
strange what desperate chances the
intrOducers viii take. The Indian
officers are all the time on the alert
for offenders Of this character and
they are certain in the execution
and discharge of their duties.

We understand that marshals are
stationed on the roads leading from
the state into the Territory, who
Will arrest all parties found in the
Nation hunting and killing game,
and confscate their outfits. We
DO not know what their Objects in
doing this, and it seems unreason-
able, but il is in accordance with a
great many other acts perpetrated
IN that country wherein the mar
shals are concerned, and the only
1nes who receive any benefit from
heir vigilance o.
The benefits in con6scations may
accrue only to maIshals and their
posses, but the law prohibiting the
killing of game in the Territory by
parties on the border should be
snforced.
