ARKANSAS CITY, KAs., April 10
Two hundred and forty-eight prairie
schOOners went into camp here to-
day, and fully 500 persons arrived by
the three railroads centering at this
place, making an estimated crowd of
nearly if not quite 10000 temporary
sOjourners. State colonies are being
organized in the camps, the Illinois
colony now having 1,2eO members
and Ohio and more following in the
order named with from 800 members
down to about 300. Permission was
received here today by United States
Commissioner Bonsell from the de-
partment for all persons going by
wagons to break camp on the morn
ing Of the 18th and take up their line
of march through the Cherokee strip
to the north line Of lands to be OPEN
ed to settlement. United States
Marshall Needles, of the Indian Ter
ritory and the receivers and registers
of the land offices at Guthrie and Lis
bon will arrive tomorrow morning
and hold conference in the Board
of Trade rooms. The officers of the
Santa FG Railroad issued a time
schedule today, which will 60 into
effect on the morning of the ODD. At
9 O'Clock a. m. the first passenger
train for. that day will be followed by
other passenger trains every fifteen
minutes until all settlers are provid-
ed for. These trains will be followed
by several freight trains, conveying
camp equipage, stock, implements,
household goods and residences and
store buildings ready to be fastened
after the style of King Solomon's
temple. Three hundred cars are now
loaded, waiting for the word "go."
Every assurance is given by the COM
pany that there will beno disappoint.
ment or delays to settlers. All is
quiet along the whole line, and a
commander of the troops here today
said that he apprehended no trouble
or strife among the people. ......

The Land We Live In.

The Baltimore Manufacturers
Record of April 9th contains the. fol-
lowing article. When it is consider
ed that it is no high colored picture,
but plain statement of facts, it is
strange that people will pass the
section it speaks of by, or that those
who live in it and know its advan-
tages will leave it for the glittering
uncertainties of the West. The
Record says:
If a circle having a radius of 80 to
70 miles should be drawn with Nor
ristown, Tenn, as the center, it would
include a section which, for a combi-
nation of advantages, such as climate,
scenery, healthfulness and pure wa
ter, and natural resources of timber,
minerals, and fertile soil, could not
probably be surpassed in the world,
and there are few places where it
could pc equalled. This circle would
take in part of Western North Car
olina-the Land of the Sky-a part
of Southwest Virginia, Southeastern,
Kentucky and much of the finest
portion of Eastern Tennessee. In this
region there is a wealth of minerals,
and timber almost beyond descrip-
ton. Iron ore Of high grade is in ex-
haustless quantity, marble that has
made East Tennessee famed the
world over for that alone, coal, zinc,
lead and other minerals, while virgin
forests of timber of almost every
variety, including poplar, pine, hera-
lock, six varieties of oak, chestnut,
hickory, cedar, maple, birch, beech,
sycamore, gum, locust, laurel, buck
eye, mulberry, ash, cherry and wal,
nut still cover hundreds of thousands
of acres; mountain streams of crys-
tai clearness and purity afford an I'M

Territory of Oklahoma will be open
ed for settlement by the proclama-
ton Of the President. Thousands of
people are now waiting on the borders,
ready at the appointed hour to rush
in and enter the lands under the

people who go into the Territory
will have to suffer great hardships,
trials and deprivations, there is no
doubt. From all reports of the coun-
try, much Of the land is very rich,
the climate is mild and pleasant, and
in many respects it is a desirable

it has school and church facilities,
