The face of the great sand plains Of
South Jersey have been considerably
changed by the recent high Winds
which caught up the sand and piled 1t
against houses, fences or any other OBJ
struction. Cuttings and bitches have
been filed in, great piles of sand were
caught by bushes and heaped up In
some places until the sand mound was
over 20 feet high, and some of the roads
are almost impossible, owing to tho
amount of sand which was blown ON
them. The Pennsylvania railroad had
men at work day and night during tho
storm to keep their tracks from being
buried In sand. The sand aifted into
houses and barns, covering everything
with gritty deposit Travel in this
part of tho country during tho high
winds was almost impossible, for tho
sand was binding and worked into
clothing so as to irritate the skin, while
hundreds of people are suffering from
sore eyes as the result Of their expo

ARRANGING FOR THE WORK.

The Dawes commission with the
exception of Senator Dawes are all
here and have taken up their quar-
tiers at the Western hotel. Capt.
McKennon and Secretary Jacoway
arrived ten days ago, and a day or
two later Judge Montgomery came
in. Monday of this week Gen.
Armstrong and Mr.. Cabaniss
came; Senator Dawes will not be
here until toward fall, after the hot
weather. The commission is or
ganizing and getting ready for the
duties assigned them by congress,
and for the present at least will re-
main in Vinita.
Under the act they are directed
to continue the exercise of the au-
thority already conferred upon
them and to endeavor to accomp-
lish the objects heretofore pre-
scribed to them and report from
time to time to congress. In addi-
tion to these duties the commits
sion now has authority to hear and
determine the application for citl-
zenship of all persons who may
apply in any of the five tribes. Not
the least important of the new du-
ties assigned is that of investigat-
ing the land holdings of individual
citizens of all these tribes. The
next report of this commission
will, in regard to the excessive
holdings of land by whom we call
monopolists, be specific and in de-
tail, and the number of acres held
by each given. As the work of the
commission progresses The CHIEF
TAIN will keep lis readers fully

A COUNCIL OF the FIVE nations in
this territory was called by the
Greek chief to convene Tuesday at
Okmulgee to consider matters rela-
tive TO the impending crisis that
confronts the Indian governments.
Five years ago such a gathering
would have caused widespread
comment, but now it hasn't caused
even a ripple in Indian circles, land
is generally regarded as of no con-
sequence. The common people of
these five tribes have long since
ceased to regard any public acts of
their leaders as being a precursor
of good to them. If any steps
whatever are taken at the Okmul
gee meeting it will be to continue
the existing conditions as long as
possible in order to get a little
more of the spoils. The masses
will get little attention in that
gathering. The spirits that will
control will be men that have vast
personal interests at stake, and
their time and talents will be de-
voted TO scheming as to the best
methods to employ to mislead
members of congress into aiding
them i'll prolonging the allotment
and division Of the land longer
still. The maL that can make
81 900 or $4,000 a year out of the
grazing privileges of the common
domain is deeply interested in
having that same domain remain
common indefinitely.

Tulsa Republican: Clint Owens
and the two Girls boys picked sixty
gallons of blackberries latt week.
They found them thirty miles
southeast of Tulsa, where they say
they are more plentiful than mos
quitoes. X 4 Last Sunday two of
the West boys, brothers of Bill
West, and. one by the name of
Webb took in Catoosa and shot up
the town in western style. After
shooting a number of shots and in
dulging in the usual profanities
common with such characters they
took their departure. They reside
about one mile northwest of the
town. 4 The Games boys near
Okmulgee own dog that can
climb trees with as much ease as a
coon. A few days ago the boys
went squirrel hunting, and very
soon heard the dog bark as a signal
that he had treed a squirrel. Be-
fore they could get to him he had
climbed TO the top of the tree,
which was an old snag about thirty
feet high and was smelling in the
hole where the squirrel had disap-
peared. Now laughl x 4 Arthur

day seeking relief from a badly
swollen jaw. Some few weeks ago
Mr.. Boggs was bitten on the foot
by a rattlesnake, which only gave
him very slight pain. Wednesday
his face began to swell, with slight
pain and by THURSDAY it was so
badly swollen that he was here for
relief. He says it is certainly the
effect of the bite some weeks since
that is causing it.

ONLY OCCUPANT TITLE.

The Dawes commission will have
no knottier problem, when they
reach it, than the settlement of the
town lot question in the Cherokee
nation There is widespread be-
lief that the deeds issued by the
executive department of the nation
conveys a title that is in some
measure better than the ordinary
right of occupancy held by citizens
TO improvements on the public do
main. If the Cherokee constitu-
ton is taken into consideration
there can be but one view of the
matter. and that is that all the
land in the Cherokee nation is
"common property" and that no
citizen has or can acquire title to
land other than occupant title.
The Glands of the Cherokee ma
tion shall remain common proper
ty" is the language of the Chero-
kee constitution, and there is no
exception. 1t has been argued
that when the nation sells town
lot 10 an individual citizen, that
the title passes from the nation to
the individual, and that possession
can never be recovered. But an
investigation of the title issued by
the chief will reveal the fact that
the purchaser of town lot obtains
no other rights to the soil than
that of a temporary occupant, in
deed no other kind of law corld be
passed by council as it would be in
violation of the constitution and
therefore null and void. But when
the tribe through her constituted
authorities places one of her citi-
zens in possession of a given tract
of land, bouaded and limited. and
guarantees that citizen the exclu-
sive use of that piece OF ground
against all other citizens for time
without limit, and accepts the
money for the same, it would take
technical hair-splitting to say that
the holder had acquired no addi-
tional rights to that particular
piece of "co nmon domain" But
on the other hand we are confront
led with the fact that all Indian
land is common property and that
the council has not the power to
dispose OF a foot of it. 1t would
also appear that if the council
could sell a town lot that il could
also sell farm, and the common
ality rights of the children and non
land holders would be lost in the
shuttle.
There is probably only one way
open by which this very much tan
gled hank can be straightened, and
that is to adhere to the original
proposition that the land of the
Cherokee nation is common prop
erty, and that the provements
only are the property of those
who made them or may be in legal
possession of them. Though the
citizen that has erected a costly
business house on lot guaranteed
to him by his tribe certainly has,
or ought to have, an equity in that
lot that should be protected to a
limited extent. Town lots are
made valuable by the money and
taste expended upon them, and
whatever value attaches is in no
sense due to the thrift or business
sagacity of the tribe owning the
land. But where a single individ-
ual may own scores of lots in the
same, or in different towns. it
would appear that there should be
a limit to the additional rights ac-
quired under this kind of equity
