Another enormous difference be-

is the anniversary is to be seen in
the enormous difference in the ma
turc and influence of the forces that
determine our National and political
destiny. Then, ideas ruled the
hour. To-day, there are indeed
ideas that rule the hour, but they
must tic understandable ideas. The

The Beautiful Land.

Oklahoma. in the language of the
Chickasaw Indians, signifies beautiful
land" 1t was the name given by the
Indians to a tract of country contain
ing almost 1000, 900 acres, and stu
ated nearly in the center of Indian
Territory Some of the land is poor,
but the larger part of it is the richest
and most productive known III the
world. 1t is also believed to contain
valuable mineral deposits. 1t was
originally q part of the Louisiana
purchase. and was included in the
tract assigned by Congress in 1880 TO
be divided up among various Indian
tribes, to be theirs forever Okla
homa, under this act of Congress, be-
came the property of the Greek tribe,
and remained in their undisputed pos
session till 1856. In that year they
made a treaty with the Seminoles,
by which the two tribes held the
country jointly till 1866, when the
two consented to a sale of it to the
United States for about 10 cents an
acre. A few months after this sale was
completed bill was rushed through
Congress granting to the Atlantic u
Pacific Railway right-of-way through
the territory TINS purchased, together
with grant of alternate sections of
land for forty miles on each side of the
railway. 1t was then generally be-
heved that the purchase of Oklahoma
had been advocated and accomplished
with view to giving the railway COM
pany this valuable grant. The com
pany made q survey for the proposed
line but never built it. 1t was decided
by the courts that the land was not yet
open to settlement. and would not be
so thrown open except by proclama-
ton from the President of the United
States. 1t was expressly provided
IN the railway charter that it should
be forfeited if the officials of
the company In any way aided or abet-
ted any movement for the opening of
Indian Territory for settlement. If
they built the road without settlers it
would be losing venture; if they at
tempted TO get settlers along its line
they would lose taeir charter. What
should be done under these conditions
Here we get a glimpse of what is
generally believed to be the first cause
of the boomers They were men hired
secretly by the railway company TO
break into Oklahoma In defiance of the
United States Government and found
settlements. This Is denied by the
railway authorities and can of course
never be proved. There were un-
doubtedly other causes, the chief of
which was the richness of the coveted
lands and the desire of men of rowing
and adventurous spirit to get posses.

HIS EXPLORATIONS IN THE LAND OF
THE AZTECS.

Features OF Northwestern ChIhuahua-A
Country of Deceptive Appearances-The
Soil Looks Poor, but Produces Fine
Crops.
The Boca Grande and the Casas
Grandes are the same river, like the
Wind River and the Big Horn in our
vown country, the two changing names
at certain point. Better speaking
they have the same river bed, for in
the dryest seasons the Casas Grandes
sinks and reappears further down as
the Boca Grande, the two streams
4 being really identical most of the time,
however, both of. them emptying into
the great sink" known as Laguna
Guzman.
The scenery along the Boca Grande
rs picturesque, yet somewhat peculiar.
The river bottom is fiat, very wide and
rich In soil, but ON the TANKS rise the
Mexican mountains sheer out of the
plains. To the west are the Sierra
Madres, yet covered with snow on the
highest peaks, making some of the
most beautiful landscapes l have ever
seen as viewed from the different
points presented.
One of them, Pacheco Peak, In the
Boca Grande range (named after the
Mexican Minister of the Interior), is
given in the illustration. Slight spurs
and mesa CABLE lands extend down
IRON the Sierras into the valleys, often
reaching the river bank and forcing the
road over them, giving a road-bed that
any macadamized highway in our own
country might envy.
Some of these ridges were orna-
mented with groupings of cactus of

to convert into the equivalent noises of
the Eskimo dogs, while the munching
of the mules at their corn was not un-
like the bounding of the sledge over
the frosty snow. and that now and then
struck crevasse when mule saw fit
to kick neighbor for lecoming too
neighborly. Even the warmest days
