CHEROKEE COMMISSION.
IatervIev ReGsrdIaa It's Work Win Col.
BOudInOe-The Legislation of Con-
aress Referred TO the Five Tribes.


Col. w. p. Boudinot, secretary OF
the Cherokee Conference Com
mission. With an aim Of learning
something Of general interest con-
eerning the commission, a repre-
sentative of the Arrow called on
Col. Boudinot at his Office in this
city. He was asked regarding the
action Of the commission since
their resolutions had been given
out at South MeAlester. Reply
ing he said:
The Cherokee commission s
term expired on the 25th Of this
month by limitation. We have
submitted our report to the chief,
as required. / understand that
the chief has recommended that
the commission be continued with
two additional members. and the
report is now being considered by
council" +"
What does your report con-
tainf"
We have reported, partially,
that we had done nothing, def
nitely, as nothing can be done by
the tribes separately, but as pro-
vided by congressional legislation,
the matter Of negotiation refers to
the whole of the FIVE tribes"
Continuing he said: THE
Dawes Commission has submitted
to each of the five tribes, a propo-
sition, relative to the dissolution
of the tribal government. These
propositions as submitted by them.
were considered at the meeting Of
the International Council, and we
formed the resolutions accord.
ingly."
DO the tribes intend to treat as
a whole. or individuality"
In the matters of plan Of allot-
ment and with reference to town
sites, state government, and such
as is of general interest, will
probably be considered by the five
tribes and the Dawes Commission,
as a matter Of general interest,"
but regarding mineral lands, in
truders, invested funds anC
amounts of per capita land. viii
be treated by each tribe separ'
ately."
How long do you think it vii
take to complete these negotia'
tionsf"
AS the matter of allotment il
not considered by our people al
needing immediate attention anC
considering the amount of worl
that will necessarily have to b.
done in order to change the triba
governments, / should thin- it vii
be a number of years"
Col. Boudinot continued, say
ing: Il am of the opinion tha
the matter of negotiations now un
der way, will eventually en'
in allotment, but no certain tim
can be set. The actions of tn
commission must each be rattle,
? by congress and the tribal eoun
: ellis"
will Indian Territory ever b
attached to OklahOmai"
mo. That is one thing tina
will not be done. if we can proven
it."
The Dawes Commission has fin
ished the list Of Cherokee intrud
ers and are now in Fort Smith, i
conference with the Choctaw Com
mission.
Col. BOudinot is a man who ha
had a life time experience with tn
