introduced in both houses a bill to permit

civilized tribes known as the Cherokee,
Creek, Seminole, Choctaw and Chickasaw
have bill prepared to be introduced, ask
ing for separate admission as state. This,

two for each senator and two for each rep

ed Oklahoma proper, between ranges four
and five west, in Marshall township, and
are making an air line to the southeast for
Guthrie. The final and permanent loca-
ton is already established from Pond
Creek, in the Cherokee strip, to Logan
county. This settles, absolutely, the spec
ulative contention of several Oklahoma
cities for this road, and insures its passage
through Guthrie on down to Tecumseh,
and final destiny to the gulf.
