DAWES COMMISSION TO MEET.
Same Old Game will be Tried Once More at
South McAIester.


Washington, Aug. 29-The Dawes
commission will meet at South McAles-
ter on Wednesday next 1t is possible
that Chairman Dawes will not be pres
ent at the time by reason of i'll health.
General Armstrong. of the commission,
says he is not discouraged by the char
acter of the resolutions passed by the
Chickasaws and Creeks, as reported in
the Journal a few days ago. He does
not think that the meetings held are an
indicd ton that nothing can be done by
the commission this year. On the con-
trary, he believes that If the people
can be made to understand their real
interests, favorable terms can be made
with them this year in time to report 10
congress the comming session. II is the
general opinion of the members of the
commission that an arrangement will
be secured with the indians that will
lead to the ownership of townsite prop
erty. This will form a basis for limited
taxation for those living in the towns
and afford some schools and other adj
vantages Of civilization. The plan pro-
posed will be to have a commission ap-
pointed, unless the present one can at
tend TO it. to value town property. and
let the occupants buy up their holdings
on this basis. And at the same time
the law will provide for securing land
for other townsite locations, which will
give an opportunity for settlers to Sc
cure lots for business which they can
own. The while plan has not been
worked out by the commission in detail:
IL has only been discussed in a general
way. but the idea will he perfected
when on the ground. 1t Is desired by
the members of the commission to have
a report ready by the 1st of December
