The past five years have witnessed
many changes, not the least among
them being the attitude of she Indi-
ans towards the question of land aiiot-
ment. The in-rush of white people
has been unprecedented. There are
probably ten white people to one In
dian at present in tn s country, and
still they are coming. The duller
minds of the full blood red men ARE
beginning dimly TO grasp the sltna-
ton, and instead of talking OF holdAng
the lands in common any Nnger
they are looking to their legislat4rs to :
devise some Plan by which they may
each have their quo . of the soil givenN
them. If ever there was helpless
people on the face of the earth, slaves
of their surroundings and circum-
stances, dupes of the tricky polite
ians who abound, gouged and cheated
by the white shylocks of the land,
these,are the people"
. Disp@ches from Gnthrie state that
the probability of the early opening
of all of the remaining Indian lands
in the Indian territory lying west of
the reservations of the five civilized
tribes has stimulated railroad eEter-
prise in that section. Already two
companies have been organized under
Oklahoma's laws, and should both
succeed in interesting capital in their
projects there will be sharp strug-
gle for the possession of the same re-
