WE SHOULD KEEP OUT.

Within a little over a month
IRON now the excitment incidental
10 the great political campaign in
the states will have reached its
zenith, as after the presidential
election interest will begin to wane
and things take on their usual
course. The level-headed business
man generally looks witt regret
upon the arrival of these cam
paign years. 1t is usually found
to be an off year so far as business
is concerned There is just enough
difference in the nominal policy
Of the leading political parties to
cast a shade of doubt upon nearly
all lines of business ventures, and
TO create degree OF uneasiness in
financial circles. The current year
is one in which the result of tht
general election is hard to forecast.
therefore all the business man can
do is TO stop, in a measure, and
wait until the combat is over be-
fore making any more investments.
After an election is over. almost
any man is willing to admit that
the matters involved we're of less
general consequence than they
were deemed to be during the ex-
citement of the campaign. The
people Of this territory escape IA
a measure the disastrous results
OF the campaign years in The
states, and our home politics are
So local in their bearing upon the
business enterprises that they are

THE custom of unjustly critics.
ing judges IN the different depart
ments at fairs is becoming en-
tirely too common Of late years
Judges that are picked up from
the crowd are not always compe-
tent, it is true, but it should be un-
derstood that their labor is entirely
without remuneration and a very
hard place to fill, and place few
men will seek. Fair associations
generally hurry the judges through,
crowding into a few hours what
should take whole day to accom-
plish. Again, every man, woman
and child on the whole ground
will consider themselves compe.
tent judges in any department,
and are ready, yea, anxious, to tell
the judges just where they missed
it. While the judges are judging
the animals and other exhibits the
crowd is judging them, and if they
do anything different from their
idea they will tell them they are
bought or prejudiced, which is
very consoling to judge Men
that don't know morse from a
mare are as ready to pass judg-
ment as an expert at judging horses
would De.

A Branch of the M. x. g. t

According to a Tahlequah paper,
we are threatened with new rail
road direct from here to that
place; it is probably sound" in
deed.
There is sound talk Of branch
of the NJ, K. d I. railroad being
built from Vinila to Tahlequah at
an early day. J. S. Stapler, presi-
dent Of the Bank of Tahlequah, in
behalf of our citizens, is now cor
responding with the officials OF the
road in regard to this important
branch. If the officials OF the road
could only be made to see the
great importance Of this project
they would not hesitate bit; 1t
would be a paying branch from
start to finish. The road would
run down through the rich valley
OF Grand River, until it reached a
point near the Orphan Asylum,
then cut across passing through
one of the best tim bered regions oi
country in the Cherokee nation, to
rahlequah, the Capital and Athens
of the whole Cherokee nation. AT
rough estimate, based on calcn-
lations by our business men, there
is annually spent by the town OF
rahlequah, alone, S250,0 900 for
freight and passenger traffic
There is more travel to Tahlequah
the year around than to any other
point in the Cherokee nation, by
the citizens of this country and
others. Here, too, are all OF the
nigh schools of the Cherokee ma
lion situated-besides Mission
schools of high grade. And here
the public buildings, the Capitol,
National Peniteptiary, Insane Asy-
lum, Male Seminary, Female Sem
mary, Colored High School, Bap-
tlst Academy. Presbyterian Mis-
sion School; besides all these |
things. Tahlequah has fine -four
ing mill that does world of bust
ness. Then, too, as commercial |
point, Tahlequah is second to
none in the whole Indian Terri
Tory. 1ahleqaah has population
Dt about $500, and Is the best
town in all the west, especially SO,
taking into consideration it has no
railroad. Our Council would GER
.ainly grant right OF way for this |
route we speak of.

The Commissioners Interviewed

The commissioners Interviewed
The Cherokee commissioners
recently met at Wichita, prepara-
tory to starting for the territory
and We're interviewed by news.
paper man. Speaking of the
Cherokee Strip, Judge A. M Will
son said:
"It is absolutely certain that it
will be opened to settlement some
where about March 1st, next. The
deal is already made and the con-
tract closed, and all that stood in
the way of its opening heretofore
is a shortage ofmoney 10 pay for it.
| think the contract will be rattle d
by congress early in February, and
that the president will issue his
proclamation sufficiently early to
permit settlers to do their spring
work. think that over hun
dred thousand people will settle
on the strip the moment it is de-
clared open"
Hon. w. G Sayre-"It requires
an expenditure Of about IS, 200, ,00o
to pay for the Strip lands, and so
much having already been approp-
rated by congress they did not
feel safe in appropriating any more
on account of the coming campaign.
After the election, however, they
will be relieved from this restraint.
Our people are very much in favor
Of the opening of the strip. was
in Washington a few days ago and
found everybody in the admins
tration circles exceedingly favor
able to its opening "
Mr.. Sayre said the commission
would visit the Comanches, Paw
nees, Otoes and Poncas, but is
fearful that the result will not be
satisfactory, except, possibly, IN the
case of the Comanches, who oc-
cupy the same reservation as the
Kiowas and Apaches. Mr.. Sayre
thinks the prospect Of any further
dealings with the Indians is mighty
poor since the opening up of the
Cheyenne and Arrapahoe reserva.
tion and the reservations opened
up on the east of Oklahoma. The
Indians of these reservations min
gle good deal with one another
and the former, it seems, tell the
latter that the mixing up with the
whites and occupying of lands in
severalty is not what it is cracked
up to be. This dissatisfaction has
a discouraging effect on the other
Indians and as a consequence,
they are dead set against giving up
their lands Mr.. Sayre also thinks
that there are some fellows
in Kansas who are advising them
to hold on to their possessions.

Grayson Bros. had one hundred

railroad stock yard Tuesday night
awaiting shipment. They stamp

yard. This was about time for the
1880 passenger from the north,
and as the cattle went in heed
less stampede up the track they
collided with the passenger train
on the grade Just beyond the

were killed before train could be
stopped The balance escaped to
the woods and up to yesterday
evening only eleven of them had
been recovered. = Eutaula Journal.

first time easily accessible to tour
lists. A regular stage line has been
established from Flagstaff, Ariz.
on the Atlantic d Pacific railroad
making the trip from Flagstaff to

stage fare for the round trip is only
$1,000, and meals and comfortable
lodgings are provided throughout
the trip at a reasonable price. The
view OF the Grand Canon afforded
at the terminus of the stage route
is the most stupendoAs panorama
known in nature. There is also a
trail at this point leading down
the Canon wall, more than 6000
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent of the trail is a grand
