CLAYTON ON PERMITS.
says They Are Stm In Force and Ad-
vises Their Issuance as Usual
PHny SODer to the Contrary.

Hon. John M. Harrison, Le-
high, Indian Territory: My
Dear Judge-As | interpret the
law the authorities of the Choc-
taw nation are permitted to
proceed in relation to all of
their laws, the permit Law in
cluded, the same as they did
before the laws of the United
States were extended over
them, to-wit: January l. The
only effect the new law has is
that your courts have no au-
thority to enforce your laws,
but it must be done by the
courts of the United States.
You issue permits by the same
officers as heretofore, but if
your citizens should refuse to
take permits or should hire
men in violation of your laws
without first obtaining and pay
ing for their permits. you would
proceed against them in the
United States court just the
same as would heretofore have
proceeded against them in your
court. | do not understand
that any of your laws have
been repealed by the act except
insofar as they are in conflict
with the laws of the United
States extended over your couu-
try, and inasmuch as the Unit
ed States has no law relating to
permits. the Choctaw law as to
that still stands, except, as
heretofore stated, for any in
fraction of that law your suit,
either civil or criminal, must
be brought in the United States
court. For instance: If one Of
your citizens. in violation of
your law. should work hands on
farms without procuring per-
mits whatever penalty the Choc-
taw law imposes on him would
be enforced in my court. And
in this connection | desire to
say that | propose to see that
all your laws that still exist.
that is, those which arr not in
conflict with the laws of the
United States, are enforced.
x x You will proceed to issue
your permits as usual, and
those officers of your govern
ment, such as timber agents
and collectors of royalties, will
proceed the same as heretofore,
except that when they desire to
use the process of the courts
either for the purpose of col
lecting the revenue or punish
ing men who violate your laws,
you will apply to the United
States courts instead of your
own as heretofore. With kind
est regards, very respectfully,
VIM. ii. II. CLAYTON.

HEALDTON HAPPENINGS.
Special Correspondence.

Special Correspondence.
Healdton, Feb. 2.-Mrs. Jas.
Smalling has died since my
last letter.
Our old friend, J. n. Small
ing, is on the road to recovery.
Our gin is still going, and
will pass the 1000 mark.
Some of our thriving farmers
have commenced blowing since
the rain.
Some little cotton still to be
picked.
On the road from Ardmore
to Healdton this afternoon we
passed over 100 bales of cotton
on the way to market. If Il e
other roads were represented
the same, ArdmOre must have
had her streets full of cotton
today.
There is place on the road
just this side of Ardmore that
is badly in need of repair; it is
almost impossible.
Have not been able to see all
as to their opinions of the Cur
tbs bill, but so far as | am able
to learn it is in most instances
received with favor. There are
some objections which we trust
may be remedied by amend
ment if the measure should be-
come law.
Some little sickness in the
country, mostly grip; no seri-
Gus cases.
Grand Lecturer Martin opens
a Masonic school here tomor-
row, which will continue until
Saturday.
Our school has a vacation
this week, owing to the teach
er, Miss Price, being called
away for a short time. The
scholars are looking forward
with pleasure to her return.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Feb. .-Wheat-Liver-
pool SIS down for the day and Paris
lost yesterdays advance. Price Cur
rent made no change in conditions
or estimate. Northwestern cars
we're 403 compared with 231 last
year. Broomhall estimated large In
dian shipments and an increase on
passage next Monday, and European
decrease in the visible is estimated
from London of $500, 900 bushels
during January. The so called clique
bought about half a million bushels
of wheat, it was supposed, today be-
low 96c At the time announcement
was made by New York paper in
headlines, of probable trouble in the
east. Trade is beginning to realize
we are not far distant from spring,
even though we are yet involved
with zero weather. Notwithstanding
export demand stocks are not de-
creasing and the visible still holds
its own well, while northwest offer
ings are liberal. While cash is in
strong position speculatively, it is
the season of the year to feel suspi-
cious even with that circumstance
largely at the front.
Corn-Corn was heavily bought by
shorts on what proved 20 be fake
war scare from New York, and tax
ings for export are said to be on re-
duced ocean freights. For cash
demand was quiet.
Oats-In sympathy with corn oats
advanced with good demand.
Provisions-Receipts of hogs at
western points were 81 900, compared
with $1,000 last yea. The market
was strong, helped by small hog re-
ceipts today and small estimates for
tomorrow. Cash trade quiet. Esti-
mated hogs for tomorrow, "a 900.
Receipts of hogs continue disap-
pointing, and packing points stocks
are lighter than expected. This in
dicates, of course, largely increased
consumption, especially by exporta-
ton, but Notwithstanding this the
foreign stocks in store have not in
creased correspondingly. We feel
friendly to provisions.

New York, Feb. 3.-Spot sales in
Liverpool reached IA 900 today, the
largest in some time, and this gave
local market an upward movement
to the extent of to 8 points. Trad
ing became slack, however, and tone
easier. European situation consin-
ues so cheerful that there appears to
be likelihood of success in any bear
movement in near future. On the
contrary the resistance shown to
every effort to push prices down is
81 pronounced as to remove all ex-
pectation of lower market in the
near future, while the best people
are inclined to look for higher prices.
Port receipts were light and south

were rather mixed. Port receipts

good effect on the market, although

boo of expecting a lower market as
long as this export demand con-
tinues.
