GOOD LONDON FRUIT SALES.
Prices Yesterday Were Away Above
Those Of the East.
No Reason at Present to Fear They
Will Not Continue to
be Good.

The third shipment of fruit from here
to London, which was forwarded on the
night of July Dist by the California
Fruit Transportation Company, reached
the English capital on Thursday and
was sold yesterday.
Only partial returns were received
last evening, and these showed marked
advances over the prices received in the
East yesterday for the same classes of
fruit.
In New York A. T. Hatch's fancy Sui
sun Bartlett pears averaged 81 80 per
box of so pounds. Deducting IS cents
for freight and 80 cents for refrigera-
ton, leaves the net proceeds 81 cents
per box.
In London at the same time Bartlett
pears averaged 81 "a per box of 20
pounds (one-haf the quantity. De-
Quoting rs cents for freight and refrig-
GRAFTON, leaves the net proceeds AZ
cents. or II cents more per box of 25
pounds than for 80 pounds in New York.
Prunes in New York yesterday (half-
crates averaged 81 OS, while in London
the half-crates averaged 81 81. Freight
and refrigeration to New York was 81
cents, leaving net proceeds of IS cents.
The freight and refrigeration to London
was 20 cents, and the net proceeds 81
cents, or p cents more than in New
York.
The Eastern markets were away
down yesterday whole carloads of
Bartlett pears selling as low as 1921,
and the present outlook Is that it will be
so for several days. The figures demon
strate that those who shipped to Lon
don were fortunate
1t is apparent that the talk in some
quarters of the shipments to London be-
ing overdone is not founded on facts
Possibly there may occur such a thing
as an overstocked market there on GER
tain days, but there has been nothing
thus far this season to discourage Cali
fornia growers from seeking the Lon
don market, which is practically illim-
liable. AT all events, the results of
sales there is better criterion of the
condition of things than anything else
Yesterday morning $3.50 boxes of
fruit were landed at the freight sheds
IN this city, destined for the Eastern
markets, and the quality was of the
best 1t is believed, however, that the
crop from districts down the river will
be nearly cleaned up next week, though
at that time the shipments from the
foothills will be at their highest mark.

corresponding date last year Of these,

TINE LIMITED,

There is no more interesting
topic that can be written upon at
this particular juncture in the his
tory of the foremost tribe of In
dians on the American continent,
than that of their present relation
to the Dawes commission. The
destiny of the common Cherokee
Indian, the fellow who erstwhile
stalked through the forestin quest
of the ubiquitous deer, and other
game that has long since disap-
peared, is being tossed back and
forth like a ball, between the lead
ers of his tribe and the aforesaid
commission. Governor Mayes has
called the council to convene next
Monday morning, and has doubt
less, ere this, penned a lengthy
message to that honorable body,
calling attention to the subjects
upon which legislation is at this
time needed.
The immediate future is big with
events of great moment to these
people. The old harrassing ques-
ton of citizenship is to be met and
disposed of. Within thirty days,
or by the 10th of September, all
claims must be filed with the
Dawes commission, or be forever
barred. By the 10th of December
next all these applications must
be passed upon by the commission.
The time is too limited for oral
testimony, or for redirect exami-
nation by either the claimant or
the nation. Each side must close
with the presentation of its case.
The claimant makes application to
the Dawes commission, and to the
chief at the same time. The Cher
okee nation answers in rebuttal
and that ends it. There is no time
for anything further. The import
ance of the situation can be seen at
a glance. The Cherokee council

Before w. J. Watts ever thought
of applying for Cherokee citizen
ship be settled in the Choctaw ma
tion and claimed citizenship there.
They refused to admit him and
ordered him to leave. He then
came here and when the Chero-
KEGS refused to recognize him he
organized the Watts association
and they have cost this govern
ment thousands of dollars to rid
themselves of him and mis- crowd
and now that he sees failure writ
ten on the wall he has moved into
the Creek nation and gone to spec
ulating in real estate that he has
no more title to than he has to the
respect of law-abiding citizens of
this or any other nation. Espar-
hecher has opened war on him now
and will make it so hot that he
will be forced to leave there short
ly. Just where he will emigrate
to next we do not know.-Ft. Glib

TIE cry that is so often heard
that, rather than submit to the
dictation of the Dawes commission
in the matter OF allotment of lands
the Cherokee nation should be
destroyed, emanates from the very
class of citizens that have made il
expedient for the Dawes commits
sion to lay hands on this country.
1t emanates from the r1onopolists,
and plunderIng office holders and
Office seekers of this country. 1t
emanates from the class of our citi-
zens who have grown rich and
powerful off the common proper
ty" theory, and now they say they
would rather see the country de-
stroyed than relinquish the exclu-
sive use of the thousands of acres
of public domain they have been
using all these years. The plain
common people don't want the
country destroyed Nine-tenths
of the citizens of the Cherokee ma
tion are poor, and all they have is
in the common property of the
nation. While the few are rich
enough to quit, having made
enough out of the free use of the
common domain to live on the
balance of their days, the masses
are not so. But the mission of the
Dawes commission here is for the
one specific purpose to see that it
is not destroyed, but that each in
dividual Indian gets his prorata
share of land and money. The
man that says that he would rath-
er give mp the country bodily than
see a division does not voice the
sentiment of any considerable per
cent of the Cherokee people. The
people want all they can get out of
the wreckage, and they want it
quick.

Make a Test Case.

1t has been suggested by several
of our citizens that a test case be
made to see whether Chickasha
cannot do the recording of instru.
ments at home. 1t is worth al
least $40 TO record a mortgage al
Ardmore and at the same time be
satisfied that the records are clear.
of course the instrument can be
sent by mail but that does not
guarantee that no previous encum.
brance is on the mortgaged prop
erty.
There are a great many chattel
mortgages held by the Business
Mems Club which provided seed
oats last spring and also the one
that furnished the cotton seed.
These might easily make a test
case by presenting one or more OF
these chattel mortgages in their
possession to the clerk at Chicka-
sha and upon his refusal to record
The same, to sue out a writ of man.
damus to compel him to do so.
This would put the question
squarely at issue and we would
have the satisfaction of knowing
either that we cannot legally re-
cord here and then proceeding in a
different line, or else of having
justice done US and being made a
depository of records for ourselves.
Purcell has set us good exam
pie and Chickasha enterprise
should induce this city to take the
second step. If we have not the
enterprise to go after the plums
they certainly will not fall into
our laps.
1t is and has always been a ques-
ton of serious doubt as to whether
Ardmore is legally entitled TO do
all the recording of the Chickasaw
nation. 1t was undoubtedly never
the intention of the legislature to
establish courts at five points in
the nation and at the same time
have all the records of courts kept
at these respective places and yet
compel the recording of instru-
ments to center at one point. Law
does not usually do such idiotic
things and tits our earnest convic-
ton that the courts will not so de-
eide. Law is after all, based upon
common sense and what sense is
there in investing Chickasha with
full power TO try all cases both
civil and criminal and of keeping
a full and complete record of such
proceedings here and at the same
time refuse to grant our place the
privilege of recording a simple
mortgage. We don't believe there
is such an intention in the law and
all that is required is little ener-
gy on our part to test it.
We expect to keep agitating this
matter until something is done or
until it is clearly demonstrated
that nothing can be done here.
II will require some capital and
energy but no town can succeed
without expending both. 1t is of
just as much benefit to Chickasha
to have this court of records as to
have a cotton seed mill and if we
will we can do both and by so do
ing demonstrate our claim to being
one of the leading towns in the
territory. The size of the town
does not always determine the
standing of a town but business
enterprise and energy are the true
tests. s.-Chickasha Gazette.
