PRopIaALs RETURNING.

The Downing party in Delaware
district has at least two or three
prodigal sons on its hands at pres.
ent who are not only knocking for
admission to their fathers house,
but insist upon the fatted calf be
ing killed, and having rings placed
upon their fingers. But just at
this juncture there seems to be
the combined opposition of all the
elder brothers in the party, and
the chances are that they will not
be re-admitted in time to run for
Office next summer. This is the
second ofIense in half a dozen
years for some Of the wanderers
and it is feared that the next time
a jug ticket or liberal party comes
along they will break ranks again,

THE vINITA RESOLUTIONS
Fully Indorsed by Judge Ward OF
Delaware.

w. L. TRoTr, DEAR SiR;-Re-
ceived the copies OF resolutions
adopted in citizens mass meeting
at Vinita, and fully indorse said
action, as | believe the time has
come for the people to take action
if their representatives will rot.
By such means the senate and
council will be made to see the
will of their constituents and it is
to be hoped that they will profit
thereby, or step down and out
that they may make room Tor those
who will.
Very respectfully,
j. l.. WARD.

A NEW ENTERPRISE.
Tahlequah. FIT. Gibson and w ag-
oner Electric Railway.

TAnLEouAu, r., Oct 81. 1899
Special to The CHIEfTAIs,
The latest and greatest excite.
ment in Tahlequah is the construo
tion of an electric railway from
Tahlequah to Ft. Gibson and Wag.
oner, or possibly to Muskogee in
stead of Wagner. Mrs. DR.. X.
Morgner, of st, Louis, who came
here a week ago to attend to some
business connected with her oil
interests at Chelsea, is at the head
OF the enterprise. She came over
from FIT. Gibson on the stage one
of those rainy days never dream
ing of an electric railway. After
arriving here the idea Of. such a
road was suggested more in the
way of jest than a reality, but
after inquiry as to the amount OF
traffic and travel between Table
quah and FIT. Gibson, she saw
that such thing was a necessity
and would be a paying investment,
both to private individuals and to
the Cherokee nation as a source Of
revenue. The idea of such thing
was talked ofjestingly at first by
the people Of Tahlequah, but now
they realize its great advantages
and are all heartily in favor of the
move.
The plan is first to secure
charter from council for the con-
struction and operation Of the road,
then issue stock to all citizens who
will buy, and finish 1t out with
foreign capital if necessary, paying
to the stockholders a dividend and
the Cherokee nation a per centage
of the income. A rough estimate
fixes the capital necessary for its
construction and equipment at
about one hundred and fifty thous-
and dollars. 1t will be home
enterprise as far as we are able to
invest. 1t is not yet definitely set
tied whether the road will run
from Ft. Gibson to Wagner or
Muskogee. Connection with the
NJ, X. q I. road is to be made at
one or the other Of those places.
The idea is advanced that it will
be cheaper to cross the Arkansas
on a steam boat than to build a
bridge over Grand river. Mrs. |
Morgner only came to stay two or
three days but has now decided to
remain during council to attend to
getting the charter She is stop |
ping at the National hotel and will |
be pleased to give any information
wanted.
All the talk of Tahleguah is the
electric railway. A year from now
the seminary boys and girls will
in all probability ride over on an
electric car in one hour instead of
five hours jolting on the stage.
The following petition to coun-
Gil is being sent to a number oil
prominent citizens over the nation
for signatures to grant the charter!
TAHLEeuAH, J. 7 Oct. %. Isas.
We, the undersigned, citizens of
the Cherokee nation, do hereby /
petition our honorable council to |

ONE of the reasons advanced for
opposing a survey OF the lands of
this nation is that it would show
the size of each mans holdings,
and beget dissatisfaction among
those who have less than their
share. Some people don't like to
talk about the size of their inn
provements.

In is by no means certain as to
whose names are to go on and
whose are to be left off the "im-
mortal seventy" list, that are to
get eighty acres on the Strip. 1t
is safe to say, however, the num-
Der left of will exceed the number
that 90 on.

We are constantly being told
that holding land in common Sc
cures to every one a home and
that council cannot sell our land.
Yet scarcely a year has passed
since council negotiated a sale OF
more than halt the lands belong
ing to the Cherokee people.

REV. W. A. DUNCAN, in recent
article in the Advocate breaks
forth in the following remarkable
strain: II know that to be an
American citizen is proud thing
in the eyes OF white man, but to
the Indians it has always proven
to be death. And why2 Because
there are more whites than In
dians, and the whites always hate
the Indians.

One more week and the excite
ment of the campaign will be over,
and with it the superabundance OF
political literature that is now be-
ing SO persistently pressed upon
the public will be laid aside. And
no doubt both press and public
will be glad Of it.

THE enormous profits realized
from fruit growing has conclusive
ly proven that there is more money
in raising fruit than grain. In
raising grain we have the whole
world to compete with, but not Sc
with fruit, especially apples. No
other country is so situated as to
be able to compete with us in this
line. The demand for fruit can
never be filled because the source
of supply is confined to a narrow
strip, north and south of which
orchard culture is failure.
