A Big Lease.

A. NJ. Rawson, of the Gable Grocery,
has made the largest ground-rent lease
ever recorded in the county. He has Sc.
cured, through Hon. E. F. Spence, agent
fer the Wilcox estate, a lease for five
years for 120 feet on Spring street, corner
of Second. From Jonathan Bixby he
has leased for a like term the same
frontage on Main street, corner OF Second,
thus getting control of the entire premi-
ses 120 feet on Spring through to 120 feet
on Main, and all the Second-street from
tage between the two streets. 1t gives
him $40 feet of frontage on the three
streets. Next year, Mr.. Rawson proposes
to run a heavy wall from Spring to
Main through the center of the property,
and one crossing it at right angles to
Second street, midway between Spring
and Main. Thus strengthened, the
premises can be raised to two stories all
along. Negotiatiations are pending for
the lease of the corner of Spring and
Second streets to the Southern Pacific
Company for their general up town
offices. Next summer Mr.. Rawson will
remove his grocery store to the south of
the railroad offices. 1t is big undertak-
ing.

The Red scale Being ..Done Up.

Yesterday HERALD reporter met Mr..
Cogswell, of the Sierra Madre Villa, and
a conversation came up touching the red
scale. Mr.. Cogswell referred to an arti-
Gle in the HERALD of the previous morn
ing. He said: That is perfectly correct
what you say about the red scale being
attacked by parasite of local develop
ment. You know our orchard was about
the worst in the valley as regards the
red scale. Our trees were covered with
the pest. can tell you that this bug
is clearing the trees of the red scale very
rapidly. | do not say you could not
find the red pest on our trees; but l do
say that there are very few now to be
discovered. Itrequires some care to find
the pest. looked over some of the worst
trees yesterday, and found hardly scale
on them. The trees are looking we'll.
The vedolia is everywhere destroying the
white scale, and all the growers feel very
much encouraged. If the inspectors will
give the fruit men chance, / think it
will be all right in short time"

Under ApvIsyMENr

TahleqnsA. Aug. $, 1850.
Chief Mayes this morning ac-
knowledged 10 the commission
the receipt Of their proposition to
buy our lands, and notified them
that he would take it under ad.
visement until Thursday next,
When he would submit his opin-
ion as to whom their proposition
must be eventually referred for
consideration and final action, as
required by the constitution Of the
Cherokee nation and the very ma
tue of the tenure in common by
which our lands arc held.
The several items contained in
their proposition will each in
turn receive attention and be pass
ed upon as they are generally un-
derstood by the authorities and the
people OF the Cherokee nation.
To do this, in a way the magni-
tude of the subject requires, con.
siderable time and careful thought
will be necessary.
The roundabout way in which
final results must be reached, as
to the outcome of the matter, may
prove a good deal more than the
patience of many will be willing
to submit to, but we have laws
that must be complied with, if we
wish to avoid a revolution that
might prove dangerous to other
interests. The clamor in the
states against delay necessary, un-
der our constitution, to properly
cede The lands, may be expected
and melted by the press. But it
is not horse vap now before the
people, but a transaction that in
wolves millions of dollars and
questions of safety and the future
prosperity Of the Cherokee peo-
pie.

THE COMMISSIONERS PRoPo-


The commission has formally
submitted their proposition to
Chief Mayes for the purchase OF
the lands Of the outlet. 1t is pub
lished in this issue OF TEE CHEF
TAIN, and should be carefully read
and pondered by every one per-
sonally interested in the lands, or
their proceeds, should they ever
be sold. The charges against the
Cherokee nation for the sum Of
money paid at stated times upon
all the lands west OF the Arkansas,
as intimated in their proposition,
is long expected result now con-
frmed. The appropriation Of the
$500, 600, 90 "out Of funds due I'M
der appraisement" was asserted
by the delegation and their coun-
sci, as hundreds will remember,
TO be an additional sum to that al
ready received on the occupied
tracts. For this reason tho
amount was accepted by an act Of
the national council and the 7, per
cent. of it paid as attorney fees.
We are now confronted by a pre-
seutation entirely opposite to this.
In manner we are or can be,
should the people decide to sell re
lieyed by this charge in the somo-
what strange position taken by the
government in relation to
the lands now occupied by the
Pawnecs, Poncas and other Indian
tribes west OF the Arkansas river.
The latter part OF the commits
sion's proposition mentions the
manner in which tho aggregate
amount is to be paid the Cherokee
nation, which is upon the entire
acreage of tho outlet west of the
Arkansas river, including the lands
on which It was claimed the $780,
10000 was an additional payment.
Az sl.25 per acre these tracts. II in
effect they should be resold, would
over balance the 100000, 90
charged against all the lands west
Of the Arkansas river.
The Cherokee nation can claim
no right, title or interest in or 10
the lands already conveyed by le-
gally executed transfers in trust TO
the United States for tho Indians
whose rights in tho lands seem to
be eignored. To repudiate what we
have done in the REIMBURSEMENT
of the lands in trust for those
tribes, is 10 resell 10 the United
States that which Is not ours, and
which according 70 this item of
the commissioners proposition,
would become part and parcel OF
the land 10 be opened up TO settle
mcnt by the presidents procla-
nation. What Is behind al this
Cor these tribes seemingly 10 be
dispossossed Of their lands, no in
timation is anywhere apparent.

THE howl that will go up against
Chief Mayes for not convening the
council in extra session to dispose
Of tho commissions proposition
can only be equaled by the disap-
pointment of the old National
members in hcyiug a finger in the
pie. Domitian, history says, con-
vened the Roman senate to decide

his dinner. Mayes thinks he can
cook his own fish without the
help Of the council, even though il
