further east There are several raluable

further east There are several valuable
tracts of timber not far from Fort Reno,
but west of that point there is little except
worthless black jack oak and some cotton
wood along the bottoms. The high prairies
west of longitude 80 are we'll covered
with grass and the soil is naturally pos
| sessed of the properties necessary for
crops, but the water supply is not yet
sufficiently certain for dense population,
and crops will not repay the settler as
we'll as on the more eastern lands. 1t
may be said that grass grows in sufficient
abundance for stock raising almost all
over the lands ceded by the Creeks and
Seminoles.
The Cherokee has the same general
characteristics as the foregoing and if it is
added to the homestead lands the settler
will have to fix up a home east of 9S 30
west longitude if he wishes to cultivate or
binary farm crops. West of that line
there are small arabic patches but most of
the land is high prairie, suitable prn-
cipally for stock raising. Extensive salt
deposits are found in the western part of
the strip on the surface and there is little
doubt that the same salt formation which
supplies the Hutchinson wells also extends
down into this region. Inexhaustibie
quantities Of gypsum also exists in the
western part of the strip.
The climate of all that section of the
country lying east of $3.50 west longitude
is superb. Army officers and others who
have lived there describe it as the most
agreeable inland climate in America. 1t
is neither very warm nor very cold. giving
a wholesome change from winter to sum-
al limo 81
In addition to furnishing a magnificent
soil unsurpassed even by the Illinois bot
toms in productiveness, and so favorably
situated that it is now ready for the pillow,
interposing few obstacles of rock, swamp
or forest, the eastern part furnishes a cli-
mate so exquisitely balanced between the
long winters of the North and the long
summers of the South that almost all the
products of both North and South can be
successfully cultivated. The citizen of
the new Oklahoma can be busy on his
farm, If he wishes nearly the whole year
round He will have railroad connections
from the first with North, South, East and
West
The small reservations east of Oklahoma
proper are all composed of the very best
lands. The status of the tribes which now
occupy them varies and what will be done
with them is doubtful. The Sacs and
Foxes occupy 47S,667 acres by treaty of
1851 That part of the Pawnees' reserva-
ton which lies within the former Creek
country contains SO, 900 acres and was as
signed them by act of Congress of 1876,
The Iowas and Kickapoos are located by
executive order only. The Pottawatomies
were located by the act of Congress of
1872. By the terms Of the agreement with
them they have the privilege of taking
lands in severalty and becoming citizens
of the United States. A few of them have
taken up lands and become citizens. The
great majority have not.

A Veteran Composers Idol.

Herr Gungl, the veteran waltz COM
poser, who recently died at Weimar. is
said to have spent the most of his
waking hours of the last eight years
face to face with the portrait of a
beautiful woman. Who the original
was no one appears to know, and what
her relations were with Gungl were
equally mysterious. Close friends of
the old composer who have known him
intimately for half century, say that
they never saw this woman, and never
even knew of the portrait until eight
years ago, when Gungl suddenly with
drew from society and began living
the life of recluse. An ivory minia-
ture of the same woman was buried
with him.-Boston Transcript.

The Appropriation Bill.

There seems to be different interpreta.
tons of the amendments to the Indian APP

affirm that by the provisions of that part
of the bill which opens the Oklahoma
lands to settlement both the Greek and
Seminole cessions are declared a part of
the public domain. The Greek lands COM
prise about 8, 600 600 acres and the Semi
mole cession about 2 000, 900. These lands

tory west of the Greek diminished reserva-

as to the disposal of the lots in such town,
and the proceeds of the sale thereof to be
conducted under such regulations as may
be prescribed by the legislative authority
Of the State or Territory in which the same
may be situated. a Limitation of this law
is made in section Is of the Indian Appro-
priation bill, and provides that not more
than 800 acres shall be entered as town
site.
The next section (23Ss) provides that the
declaration of the intention of the inhab-
itants of a town to enter the land as
town site shall be filed at the proper land
Office.
The method of locating a town which
will be applied at first in Oklahoma con-
tains the following preliminaries:
When persons desire to found a town
they must file a plat, verified by oath, with
the register and receiver of the land-office
of the district. Within a month verified
copy must be sent to the General Land
Office. The sale of lots is under the super
vision of the Secretary of the Interior, as
are all the proceedings.

Description of the Country.

Those who wish to obtain correct esti-
mate of the characteristics of the country
just coded by the Creeks and Seminoles
can lay the foundation best by fixing in
mind the general slope from west to east.
The further we go east the lower the land
lies. The finest agricultural lands in the
new acquisition are in Oklahoma proper
and the small reservations east of it. AL
most the whole of this is rich, arabic land,
composed of gently rolling prairies inter-
spersed with river bottoms. A small part
OF it is rocky and there are tracts of tim
Der of considerable size. Here and there
a sandy spot may be found. As rule the
timber grows better and more plentiful
as one goes east. Moving westward
the ground becomes less abundan thy
supplied with timber and water, and after
passing a line drawn north and south
about thirty miles west of Fort Reno, the
country is, generally speaking, suitable
only for grazing and the climate is more
subject to extremes of heat and cold than

OF the Cheyenne and Arepahoe reserva.
tons north of the main Canadian river
are all within the limits of the coded
lands. The Sac and Fox reservation was
purchased by the Indians under the treaty
of 1926 and its present status will be pre-
served till changed by negotiations which
are provided for by the bill Under the
act of Congress of 1872 the Pottawat-
omies have already taken allotments and
the remainder will be opened to settlement
by proclamation of the President The
Pawnees were settled on their reservation
by the act of Congress of April 10, 1916,
while the Cherokees and Arapahoes, Iowas
and Kickapoos hold by executive order.
Under the operations of the Indian Sew
crafty act but a small portion of these
reservations will be required for perma-
nent homes. Their reservations may be
reduced under the Ssveralty act or by
agreements made with the Oklahoma
Commission.
The President is authorized to appoint
three commissioners to negotiate with the
Cherokee Indians and with all other In
dams owning or claiming lands lying west
of the Goth deg. of longitude in the Indian
Territory, for the sale to the United States
of all their title, claim and interest in said
lands. The result of any such negotiation
to be reported to the President and by him
to Congress at its next session. 1t is pro-
vided that the terms of settlement made
with the Seminoles this year shall be SUBJ
mitted to the Cherokees for their approval.
The Cherokees may accept or refuse these
terms as they see fit.
In case the commission succeeds in pur-
chasing the Cherokee and other lands in
dispute, and the bargain is approved by
Congress and the President, then the
lands may be opened to settlement by
proclamation of the President
None or the lands within the reservation
mentioned will be subject to settlement
until the President takes action as pro-
vided by law.
