THEY DIDN'T MEAN IT.
Local COmpany's Talk About

La,9rers Of This City Given the
Cold Shoulder.

great hue and cry has been raised by
the local Street Railway company and those
who shout for il that it was "local" or
"home" enterprise apd should be en-.
couraged in every way possible; that the
owners or stockholders were largely people
Of this city, and their claims should be
considered in preference to all others.
This on the face of 1t seemed very plau.
sible and men who opposed certain schemes
Of this company have been subjected to
unjust criticism from those who did not
thoroughly examine into the matter. One
favorite argument advanced by the organ"
of the company was that, ii being "home"
company, in the construction of its lines
laborers Of this city would be benefi lifted
inasmuch as that employment would be
given to them in preference to outsiders.
Let any one who ever hsr bored that i'm
preston just look the parties over who are
at work and see il they can recognize any
resident of the city among them with the
exception Of ex-Highwsy Commissioner
William p. Allen, who, il is needless to
remark, had prediction for hiring non
residents when he was in power.
This cry Of save the streets for the
"home" company 10 all very well, if the
"home" company will only rcciprocste and
patronize home labor, or even laborers
resident in the state, or the adjoining state,
or even people who are attracted here be.

and settle here even temporarily. But,
no; the labor employed consists Of men
sent here in gangs !" contractors, who do
not in any manner "a, similate with the popu.
lation; are OF no practical benefit TO the
community, or it, trade, purchasing no
supplies here, and a, soon as the imme-
diate work for which they came to per.
form is accomplished they HE themselves
back to the locality from whence they came,
and the community. instead of being bene-
fited, Is so much worse off for their being
here, as the money is Withdrawn from the

OKLAHOMA'S NEW LANDS.
Outline of the Provisions Governing
tho AllotmentA

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19-In conversation
with an Associated Press reporter regard
Ing the conditions governing the opening
Of the ceded Indian land In Oklahoma,
Secretary Noble spoke substantially as
follows:
"The conditions under which the procla-
nation OF the president, opening the In
dian purchases In Oklahoma territory on
Sept 90 while similar In some particulars
10 those existing when Oklahoma itself
was opened, are yet very materially diff
ferent In others. Each Of the Indians Of
the tribes selling TO tho United States had
the reserved right by contract to take an
allotment, aud this right has been exer-
cised fully. The allotments have all been
made and the same have been approved In
the department OF the interior, and to the
Sac and Fox Indians the patents have
been issued.
The Sac and Fox took aS allotments
Of 100 acres each. The lowas took 100 Of
30 acres each, the Pottswatomies 1879 OF
l60 acres each, and tho Absentee Shawnees
t6S Of also q quarter section each. These
selections were made under supervision Of
alloting agents Of the government, and
are scattered broadcast over all the lands
purchased Tho Indians arc not on these
allotments yet, nor Is there any mark on
the ground showing that that tract is al
loted. The settler Is therefore liable to get
on such piece Of land unless he has guide,
such as the list will be.
$50 It Is absolutely necessary the set
tier should know what part Of clear Sec
lions and quarter sections are left outside
the allotments that he may make no mis-
take. II he iRnorantly may settle on an
Indian allotment he would lose his op-
portunity and be defeated. 1t has there
fore been absolutely necessary to put the
opening few days ahead to get the lists
sent to the territory and published there
and distributed
