THE W. C. T. o. REVIVAL.
What was Attempted and Accomplished
u at the Late Meeting.

gre wo weeks ago the ladies of the
&c. 7. U. announced that Mr..
'ssr Forster Stone would begin a

We Lose Some Land.

Capt. Hawkins, of the United
States surveying corps, in charge
of the base line squad now in this
section, spends most of his Sun
days with his family, who are at
the Adams. Last Sunday he stated
to the Phoenix reporter that he
was engaged in running the boun-
dairy line between the Creek and
Cherokee nations. He began the
,.ork Thursday at the northeast
corner of the Greek nation and
will run the line to the southeast
corner at the mouth of the North
Fork river. He got opposite
Wagner with the work Saturday,
and says that a resurvey shows
that the former boundary Is not
correct and in keeping with the
treaty. The old line veers consid.
erably in the Greek nation on the
north end, and if it keeps up to
the southern corner the new line
will cut off considerable of what
has been acknowledged Cherokee
territory. Of course the survey
that is now being made does not
invalidate the old boundary except
AS it may be adopted by the prop
er authorities. The treaty line is
supposed to run north and south
from the corner between the two
nations. Capt. Hawkins says he
placed his instrument on the cor
ner and the first mile post there
after verred considerably west
of north and south line, and the
inaccuracy and irregularity kept
up until they reached Saturdays
camp The southern portion may
make a difference either way
