1t is quite evident that the Cherokees
are not disposed to accept the price offered
them by the government for their alleged
title to the strip. But it is not at all likely
that any better proposition will be made
to them. On the contrary, the chances are
that the lands will be taken on general
principles, and the Indians will be left to
get what they can through the courts Or
otherwise. 1t is very certain that their re-
fusal to accept fair price will not prevent
the early opening of tract OF country
which is so much needed for the use of the
white settlers.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

mighty throes OF q contest for the right of

rapidly as possibly consistent with propri-
ETY. and magnitude OF the interests inyoly-

work of building great cities may not be
retarded. We need cities as well as devei-
oped farms, and we cannot love the prop

State Herald: On all sides Of the city
last night could be seen long line of FIRE
The south was particularly illuminated
Across the creek south of the city on the
hills prairie fires were sweeping all before
them No news has come OF any houses
being burned. as they were all pretty well
guaIded. but stripping the trees Of the
leaves and leaving nothing but cleared
stump. The high wind Of yesterday served |
to drive the fire along with race horse
speed, but with the setting Of the sun. and !
the going down OF the wind, the fires sub |
sided TO great extent Something ought |
TO be done to prevent these fires. There is |
no danger 70 Guthrie directly, as 1t is pro-
tected on ali sides by creeks and streams
Yet indirectly, it is harmful. Men when !
they break camp should know that they |
have left no fire. The farmer should burn |
fire guards. but do il when there is no dan |
ger OF its getting from under control.
