NEW LINE.
Building by Santa Fe In Indian Territory:
A New Outlet.

Pauls Valley, I. T., Aug. 2s.-The
line Of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fc railway, which extends from Hava-
ma, Kans., south through the Chero,
kee. Seminole and Creek Nations, has
been surveyed into this place. The
road crosses the Canadian at Allen. in
the edge of the Choctaw nation and
extends in a southwesterly direction
to a point two miles north of Dolberg,
where it turns and comes into this
city, crossing the Washita near Gard
ner's bridge. The surveyors have gone
back over the survey to make . few
corrections, but it seems to be the
opinion of the railroad men that the
road will be bailt substantially as it is
now surveyed. The road is completed
and trains are running into B~artlesville.
Cherokee Nation, and the road is
graded about fifty miles further to
the V~erdigris river. The line will be
completed to this point in ninety days,
and will furnish us a direct line to St.

Oklahoma Receives an Inch Of JOY
Cotton Crop Assured.
Wichita, Aug. a9.-Happy newspa-

bubbling up from Oklahoma. 1t is all
about an inch of rain which fell last
Friday over the eastern part of the
territory, which cheers the cotton rais-
ers.
During the previous week fears have
been general that the cotton crop
would be short, it being considerably
damaged already. and the reports of
damage to the Texas crop, which was
already made, what there was left of
1t, increased the trepidation il the ter
ritory, where the crops was not past

prices brought by cotton will be consid-
erably higher than formerly. The

TRADERS.
Big Change Being Consider
ed by Inian Bureau.
BIG PROFITS CHARGED.

Washington. D. c., Aug. e9.-The
Commissioner of Indian affairs is on
sidering the advisability of making .
sweeping change in the post-trader
system now in vogue in the Indian
reservations throughout the country,
particularly in Oklahoma territory.
The proposed change contempiates
either the revocation of . majority of
the licenses now held by the post
traders and the appointment OF new
men in their places or the esta blish-
ment of government store houses on
the reservations, where the Indians
can obtain goods at their actual cost
to the government, plus the additional
cost of clerks and employees Of the
stores. The proposed plan would ena-
bic the Indians to obtain credit up to
the amount of their quarterly annuity
funds, but not be yond that figure.
When the quarterly payments are
made the amounts of the individual
purchases will be deducted from the
amount due each individual.
It is commonly asserted that the
licensed traders charge from 200 to
500 per cent profit on everything the
endians buy. Many Indians nave at
tempted to get relief through the
courts by entering petitions in bank
ruptcy, and it is this fact that has inn
pressed the Indian bureau that Q
change is desirable.
