Getting Down to Hardpan.

GUTHRIE, May 1.-The surveyors
engaged in laying out Guthrie town
site have succeeded in locating the
exterior corners of the business quar-
ter and Mayor Dyer at once issued an
order to all property owners to make
their lots conform to the lines laid
down. The past two days have
wrought many changes in both Guth-
rie and Oklahoma City. At least fifty
buildings have been erected in each
place. Two banks are doing business
in Guthrie, and third will be in
operation this week. Board and lodg-
ing may now be secured for a reason
able sum. In three or four weeks both
towns will have reached point when
predictions as to their future can be
made with greater certainty. The
work of settling claims is proceeding
rapidly. but there are few indications
that the settlers will do much
toward improving lands this year.
Between Guthrie and Kingfisher
there are not more than dozen
claims on which blowing has been be-
gun. The fact is that the season is
too far advanced to promise any de-
cent reward for labor this spring, and
many of the settlers have gone to
Guthrie, Oklahoma City or King
fisher where there is a demand for
men and teams in hauling freight.
Oklahoma City has settled Its differ
ences, arising from claim jumping,
and the people there profess to view
the general situation with great sat-
isfaction.

Crowding the Cherokee.

CHICAGO, May "A special from
Fort Reno, I. IT,, says: Captain Hall
and his company OF cavalry, left King
Fisher yesterday to eject the settlers
from the Cherokee strip, and another
company left Guthrie for the same
purpose. Several hundred settlers
are now on the strip. They are de-
termined men who have staked every
thing on the Oklahoma opening, and
failing to get their claims there have
gone to the strip. No organized re-
sistance to military is expected, but
large amount Of hardships and suffer
ing are certain to ensue.
