INDIAN CENSUS.
Drastic Means to Be Employed If
Creeks Refuse to Enroll.

Drastic Means to BE Employed 1t
Greeks Refuse to Enroll.
Muskogee, I. T., Nov. 6.-Owing to the
failure of many of the Creek Indians
to appear before the Dawes commits
sion for enrolment. and the refusal of
the Creek council to furnish the COM
mission With roll of the citizens of the
nation, the commissioner of Indian af-
fairs has directed United States Indian
Agent Wisdom, of this place, to eXer-
else his authority in aid of the Dawes
commission in making d roll of Creek
citizens, by securing for its use copies
of rolls now existing, and by ordering
all members of the tribe to appear be-
fore the commission for enrolment.
In compliance with the orders, Agent
Wisdom has directed the Greeks to ap-
pear before the Dawes commission at
the nearest place designated for TAX
ing a census and give in the names
Of themselves and the minors under
their charge, in order that a correct roll
Of Creek citizens may be made. He no.
titles them that any person who at
tempts to defeat in any way the TAX
ing of the census of the Creeks will be
arrested by Indian policemen. 1t ad-
lures them to heed his advice and obey
his orders and thereby prevent the gov
eminent from taking more extreme
measures to secure the enrolment.

that contracts have been signed in New
York for $4,000 tons of Hawaiian sugar

finery at Port Costa, Cal. This con-
tract is with the combiration of sugar
plantations outside Of those controlled

advantage to the planters, for it has

it settles definitely in what direction

to load will be the Tillie Starbuck, now
in port. a number of vessels in the
Sewell line will be chartered also.
1t is understood that the Princess
Kaiulam will remain nut a few days in
Honolulu, when she will leave again for
a tour of Europe. She has requested in
advance that no entertainment or dem
onstration be arranged FOR her honor,
and will decline absolutely to take any
part. or even discuss politics. The
princess denies any intention of visit
ing or comforting with the eX-queen,
and, from a guarded intimation. would
seem to desire to give out t..e impress
sion that she is not in sympathy with
the eX-queen'S cause.

will have to build another one. Af-
ter he had completed it he built a
roaring fire, but there was so much
metal in the stone it melted and ran
all over the floor. He now has a
gold-plated floor; but no fireplace.
There was a bull movement in
dog meat yesterday, the price clos
ing at es cents above the opening
figure. 1t is supposed to be due en-
tirely to professional speculation.
Bill Jacobs made pretty good
strike on the little Juniper last week
He struck plenty of gold at depth
of three feet, but as the Jumps were
too big to carry, he closed up the
hole and has taken another claim
further up the creek.
The high wind yesterday raised
considerable dust. Jack Bucken-
bill who was out on the Eldorado
road with his team, says he was
nearly blinded with it. When he
came home he coughed up $3.50.
One of our greatest needs is street

Large numbers of dead catfish
are floating in the river every day.
When examined it is found that ev=

eight ounces of gold dust in its

lowing loose gold to escape into the
river will ruin the fishing unless it
stopped.

proprietor of the Big Strike saloon,
was fishirg in the river yesterday,
his boat struck snag; it proved to
be a 6oo-poupd nugget, He will
have it taken out and will use it as
a horse block in front of his place.
Ike is always bound to have the
best things going.

met with a misfortune which will,
we are sure, call forth the spmpa-
thy Of the public. During the heavy
rain storm in the afternoon a regv-
lar torrent rushed down the gully
back of her house and washed SO
much gold dust in to the pig sty
that the pig was smothered. A SUBJ

benefit.
Our esteemed friend, Bud Gravel,
placed upon our desk yesterday a
liandsomely-shaped nugget. It on.
ly weighed twenty-scven pounds.
