DON'T MISS READING THIS.
A World OF Salt Some Tall Fig
ures on the Quantity.

FEnRuARr. %. 1880
DEAR CHIEFTAIN;-You have
invited correspondence in refer
cnce to the questions that now
confront the Cherokees and asked
a free, frank, positive expires on
of sentiment.
Ii | should neglect at this
critical period Of our affairs to re-
spond to such an invitation it
would be little short of criminal
and show an utter disregard Of my
own and the interest Of my friends
in this country.
| have read with alarm and cha
grin many communications in your
paper, Tor the reason that they
were calculated to shape public
opinion, where it was clear that
your correspondents, with one sin
gle exception, were ignorant Of
what they were writing.
Mr.. Knight, in his first letter,
said the outlet was only fit for
grazing, but in his second admit
ted there was one and one-half
million acres Of agricultural land
They all thought the one dol
lar and twenty-five cents was the
full value of the land, and seemed d
to think a per capita payment out
of that would heal all wounds
caused by reason Of forced sale,
and inadequate price. l beg leave
TO differ with them in reference to
the value Of the land and more
particularly what the land contains.
On the outlet, besides grazing, is
as fine building stone, gypsum,
copper and salt as ever country
was blessed with and in insxhaus-
table supply.
[ will exclude every ether thing
or interest out there but the salt
and will agree to take, so far as
am concerned, one cent a bushel
for all the salt it contains, for the
outlet.
1t is not unreasonable to suppose
the salt at the Great Salt Plains"
to be 100 feet deep. Upon such
supposition we will base a short
calculation:
in one acre there are 43, $50
square feet; that sum multiplied by
100 feet in depth gives 4,S56, 600
cubic feet OF bushels, allowing a
cubic foot to the bushel.
Ten miles square Is 100
square miles or 64,000 acres, /
which multiplied by 1856, 600 /
gives the enormous sum Of u.s.
7S4 COG. 600 Obushels-which amount
would load 557 ,56s, ,0o0 cars, Of 500 /
bushels each, AMI make a train
!. .575, $50 miles in length and
would reach more than 223 times
around the earth, giving employ I
ment for years 10 thousands Of 4
men aud supplying the world with
hat indispensable article. | ask .
ire yon ready 20 part with 80
Taluable an interest for the paltry
ium offered ? / for one am not.
Respectfully, J N BELL

THERE are several bills now
pending in congress to extend a
territorial government over Okla
homa, and without doubt one Of
them will pass in some shape or
form. AT present there is no dan
ger Of the Cherokee outlet being
placed under territorial govern
ment, because the United States
cannot fail to recognize who are
the real owners of the land.
Should negotiations be brought
about, however, and the strip sold
to the United States before the
present congress adjourns, then
without doubt that country viii be
subject to laws similar to those OF
Oklahoma.

MORE RESOLUTIONS.
Riverside Raises it's Voice In Fa.
vor of Selling the Strip.

At convention of the Cherokee
people at Riverside, Cherokee ma
tion, after remarks having beer
made by several parties explain
ing the situation and what in their
opinion were the wants of the
Cherokee people, the following
preamble and resolutions were
adopted
Whereas, The question Of the
sale Of the land Of the Cherokees
west Of 96 degrees under a propo-
sition of the United States govern
ment is now agitating the minds
Of the Cherokee people, and
Whereas, 1t is always lawful
and proper for a few people to
meet and discuss questions of vi
tai interest and exercise the right
of petition, and
Whereas, The lands OF the
Cherokee nation are vested in the
people, and
Whereas, In our opinion, if the
Cherokees could receive some-
thing like the full value OF said
lands sale could be amicably af-
fected so that both the Cherokee
people and the United States gov
ernment would receive much bene-
fit from the sale, and
whereas, In our opinion there
is at least onc-half said land worth
five dollars per acre and the re-
mainder three dollars per acre,
Therefore, be it resolved, By
the people Of Riverside, Chero-
kee nation, in convention assem-
bled, that we would be willing to
accept a proposition from the
United States government at such
prices.
Resolved, That all intruders,
including all rejected applicants
for citizenship, be removed from
the Cherokee nation.
Provided further, That the Unit
ed States abandon every right she
may have to settle any Indians on
the lands of the Cherokees east
Of 9G degrees and that the Chero-
kee nation shall have the right to
enter suit in the United States
courts whenever her right of soil
or any other right is brought in
question.
Provided further, That the
United States government pay the
proceeds Of said sale per capita to
the bona fide citizens of the Chero-
kee nation at the expense OF the
United States, said expenses not
to be deducted from the original
sum.
Be it further resolved, That we
hereby petition to the principal
chief to call an extra session of the
national council, provided the
United States government will
appoint a commission to offer the
Cherokees a fair price for their
lands, in order that said council
may submit said proposition to
vote of the people on the sale.
BE il further resolved, That
copy of these resolutions be sent
10 the principal chief, one to The
INDIAN CHIEFTAIS and one to the
Cherokee Advocate.

wrote a letter to President Harri-

case really is-a good, sassy"
epistle worth reading.

and Chicago is the place. 1t
seemed best to a great many to

it is SO nearly in the center of the

SINCE the admission of Wyoming
into the sisterhood of states the two
great political parties have held their
conventions and placed their best men
III the field. The nomination of Fran
els E. Warren for governor, by the re-
publicans, was made by reclamation and
amidst unbounded enthusiasm. His
name is household word in Wyoming
and his nomination means republican
governor. The republicans of the new
state deserve commentator for their
evident appreciation of what Gov.
Warren has done for the party and for
the state at large. Alone he is worth
more to the new state than the entire
democratic party. Among the district
judges we notice the name of Hon.
John w. Blake as the republican can
didate in the Second district. Mr.. Blake
went to the territory in its early his
tory and for decade of years has lived
ut Laramie, his present home. He is a
young man in the prime Of life. of fine
appearance and personality, thorough
student, ripe scholar of judicial
turn Of mind, of sterling honesty and

A REPORTER for the Council Bluffs
Globe sent to that paper from Red
Oak what purported to be an interview
with F. =. II. DAILY, clerk of the district
court in Cass county. The subject of
the interview was the republican con-
gressional nomination, and it was al
legged to have occurred the evening be-
fore the convention. 1t consisted of a
very warm endorsement of Cass coun
tvs candidate and a wholesale denun-
citation of the others. 1t was just such
an interview" as democratic paper
would cut out of whole cloth in the
light of the circumstances, and has all
the ear marks of falsity upon its face.
Mr.. DAILY denies the interview in toto
and yet in face of apparent fraud and
in the face of denial by Mr.. DAILY the
interview is going the rounds of the
democratic press. Whatever demo
Gratis can do to stir up strife between
republicans is their delight.

Gov. BoIEs is making himself very
promiscuous in political way. At the
Creston blue grass palace he imposed a
political speech upon mixed audience
gathered to hear him talk of the agri-
cultural and industrial interests of the
state. Yesterday he was at Council
Bluffs politically hustling the congress
sional delegates and making himself
useful to the machine. These lapses of
the governors dignity are tolerable,
but a larger estimate had been placed
upon his calibre. In the meantime
Sovereign has taken off his coat, collar
and cuffs and is saving wood for the
governor at the capitol.
