"Tahlequah, | r., Oct 2l.-It
has irst leaked out here that a gi-

l.. Owen, a half breed Cherokee,
and very wealthy, isat the head Of
the project, ana has been secretly
at work on the scheme for several
months The plan is TO have alaw
passed ut the approaching session
OF the Cherokee legislature to allot
the entire strip to citizens of the
Cherokee nation and issue them
individual patents to their pro rata
share. II is believed by so doing
that the land can be held without
much trouble from the government.
A few months ago such an idea
was not in favor, but 50 we'll has
owen worked his rabbits foot"
among the Cherokees that the pro.
iect is now prevailing sentiment

they desire, and then be will en-
rich himself by buying up claims
at small figures.
The legislature meets here No

A NEWSPAPER MEETING.

A meeting Of the Indian Terri
tory Press association was held
last Friday 1t Caddo and general
reorganization took place Mr.. i.
A. MoAdam of the Chickasaw
Chieftain, Ardmore, was elected
president, Editor Schenck Of the
Caddo Banner vice president, b.
S Smiser of the Atoka lndepend-
ent secretary, J. w Baldwin Of
the Muskogee Gazette treasurer,
An executive committee consisting
of II. 4. Miller Of the Purcell Top
ic, f. G. Hubbard Of the Phoenix
and NJ. e. Milford Of THE CHIEF
TAIN was also elected. A consti-
tuition was adopted and all arrange.
ments perfected for an active,
working organization The first
Friday in each April was named
as the time Of the regular annual
meeting, the place to be enominated
by the president and ratified by
the executive committee.
Elaborate preparations had been
made by the citizens Of Caddo for
the entertainment of their guests
and a banquet was spread at the
Nail hotel which will not be sur.
passed in variety or in excellence,
in this territory, for many days to
come. But it was not only in this
direction that the people of the
town showed their appreciation OF
the visit. In whatever direction
the gentlemen of the press turned
there was someone at hand to antic-
ipate their wishes and minister to
them. Caddo is not as large as st.
Louis, but her people are giants in
generosity and hospitality and
when a IJ.S. Court is wanted down
there they can command the In
dian Territory Press to give them
a Gift. .

CHRISTIAN ENDHAvoRHRs.
Report of the Recent Meeting at
Springfield.

AT the fifth annual convention of
the Christian Endeavor societies OF
Missouri, which met at Springfield
October 23d, Vinita was well rep.
resented, Notwithstanding the fact
that it is rather outside the state
line. Ten from the Y. P. 5. G. e.
of this place attended the meetings,
which were both helpful and inter
esting.
When the Yinita delegation ar
rived at Springfield Thursday
evening they found 100 other dele
gates already there, and the Friday
evening trains brought in crowds
from st. Louis and Kansas City, as
we'll as from intermediate points.
1t was the largest religious gather
ing Springfield ever entertained
there being over q thousand dele
gates in all, about 600 of whom be-
longed To the local societies. The
huttering badges were quite a
prominent feature of the conven-
tion. The reception and hand
shaking committees and ushers
had each their respective badges.
We thought that some whom we
met must belong to all the CON-
mittees, if we were TO Judge by the
number of badges they wore
The Springfield endeavorers were
distinguished by badges of pink,
and the visiting delegates by Nile
green badges.
One curious individual, evident
ly one Of The uninitIated, asked US:
"What is everybody wearing rib
bons for p We hope that ne will
attend the next convention duly
decorated, for we tried to explain
the mystery to his satisfaction and
edi6cation.-
The session opened at 4 O'Clock
on Friday afternoon in the Cum
berland Presbyterian church, with
the singing of grand old Corona
tion." The enthusiasm Of the
large audience and the inspiration
Of such a volume Of song struck
the keynote of the whole conven-
tion.
After the organization and busi-
ness, the address Of welcome in
behalf of the city was given by
Mayor Perce. He extended con-
gratulatiOns to the society FOR its

THE political situation Of the
Cherokee Nation cannot be expect
ed to remain in its present condi-
tion long. Agencies are at work
in and out of the country which
tend to the speedy dissolution of
our present form of government,
and matters are getting in such a
shape that nearly all thinking peo-
pie would welcome the change.
The only question now is, How
can we best get control of and
manage our landed interests with
out the interference Of the United

THE Baxter Springs News says ;
We may say that nearly all Of the
Indians who have taken allot-
ments on the reservations south of
US are in a prosperous condition,
and are fast attaining a ratio of in
telligence, independence and self
reliance that will place them on a
par with the white people Of any
state in the union.
