il there is one thing we can add to
or detract from that treaty that
will help it any way. We have
lived for many years in a nation
whose constitution and laws are TO
the effect, that a majority ruled.
| want to call your attention TO the
fact that this treaty has been rati-
fed by an overwhelming majority
Of the voting population of the
Cherokee people We are there
fore not here in the ordinary way
as we usually are but we stand
here discussing measure that the
people have by popular vote said
they wanted and now are we to
deprive them of the rights they
have twice said by popular vote
said they wanted? There is
minority Of the Cherokee people
here who say they want to live
under the Curtis bill. This treaty
has been discussed over and over
and every time the majority of the
people have said they wanted it
and have ratified it twice and thsy
still say they want it to stand as it
was made at Muskogee. When
the people have said by whole
some majority that the treaty was
what they wanted how can we for
ty members, deprive them Of it.
Can we say the people can not
have what is their desire? If it
becomes necessary for congress to
amend the treaty then it will be
resubmitted to the people and they
can have third time to vote on it.
| would be recreant to my trust if
| did not vote for the treaty.

DAVENP PORTS ARGUMENT
Speaker of Council Favors
Late Agreement.

| do not know how many Of the
populace Of the Cherokee nation
that represent, but there is one
thing that ! do know, and that is
that know that represent three
of the population of the Cherokee
nation who are citizens of the
Cherokee nation by virtue of their
Cherokee blood. / represent my
three babies, and never will | take
this floor in the interest Of any
measure or proposition to sell my
means and your means in this
country. | want to say to this
council that | do hope, and trust
and pray, that the members of
council are actuated in this matter
by their patriotism and love for
their country, rather than to work
to defeat the agreement in order to
get to put up ten per cent to some
one for the collection of the four
million, three hundred thousand
dollars due the Cherokee nation.
| represent but one class Of the
Cherokee people, and that class is
the whole Cherokee people; for
there is but one class. If there is
more than one class | would be
glad for some member OF the coun-
Gil to show me where they are.
The fact that you deprive any of
the people my district of any Of
the benefits they desire, you at the
same time deprive the people of
the other districts Of the same BEN
efts. There is no division of
country nov. there is no division
OF citizens now, but all the Chero-
kee people are citizens. We are
all the same class Of people.
Whenever member on the floor
of this house raises his voice
against the treaty be imagines it is
a question Of citizenship or any
thing else but the question of cit
izenship has been settled by the
Curtis bill which is the law OF this
country. The question OF citizen

E. c. BRANT ARRESTED.
A Territory Editor Gets Into
Trouble.

E. G. Brant, editor OF the Cen
tralia, |. T., News was arrested in
Coffeyville Thursday on a warrant
from the city court charging him
with passing fictitious check on
the First National bank. Besides
this check, BraEt has had several
other checks cashed here and
many, if not all, of them have
gone 10 protest and been pro-
nounced forgeries by the banks
upon which they wore drawn.
Three of Brant's checks were
cashed in this city. One was for
about SIS, another for about S2S;
and another for s23.5O was cashed
for S4 and Brant never called to
gel the balance. Beside these
three he has attempted to pass
several other checks.
The preliminary hearing will be
held in the city court Monday and
Brant was taken to the county jail
await it.
Brant came to Cotfeyville about
two weeks ago to take treatment for
two of his fingers which had in
some way been injured. He says
he owns the Centralia News, which

1t is a source OF satisfaction to
the average Cherokee citizen to
know that the lower branch of
the national council had patriot
ism and sense enough to REUSE to
fasten a dead agreement upon thier
people.

in discussing the question of TAX
ing up the treaty, let us discuss it
from an impartial and unbiased
standpoint. When this treaty was
made, the fullbloods sent a dele
cation to Washington to protest
against it and they thought their
delegation was protesting against
the ratification of the treaty by
congress, but they are mistaken,
for such was not the fact. The
delegation Of fullbloods who went
to Washington did not protest as
the records will bear me out. A

who had a proposition here last
year for the collection of the four
million, three hundred thousand
dollar claim of the Cherokees
against the United States; be is
the man who filed a petition for
Dave Muskrat, Daniel Gritts and
others, representing themselves to
be delegates to Washington for the
fullbloods. Muskrat and his ad-
berents wanted to get up a Mex
leo emigration scheme, and had
submitted to the government of
the United States a proposition
for the sale of the lands of the
Cherokee tribe of Indians outright
at SO 80 per acre. This PROPOSE
tion was given to the illegally au-
thorized delegation Of the Chero-
kee nation and they have submit
ted it to the Cherokee council for
its information to show how GER
tain unauthorized persons are try
ing to sell the Cherokee nation
outright Tor $3.50 per acre.
We can never reach an agree
ment with the government of the
United States that will satisfy
every Cherokee Indian because
there are things that will arise in
the agreement that some member
of the Cherokee tribe of Indians
will think is affecting his personal
rights and although it is human
nature man will squirm when his
own personal rights are affected,
but | believe we have reached
lime when every man should rise
above the personal rights and look
20 the rights Of the whole people.
Some concessions must be made by I
svery citizen of the Cherokee ma
ion in order that this matter may
)e settled and if we expect to ar
'ange the treaty for personal inter-
sst wholly, we may as well ad-
ourn and go home and let the
Curtis bill have its way and we 10
lave nothing to do with the set
ling of the affairs of our country
whatever. There may be sections
n the agreement that may not
meet with the hearty approval Of
II citizens of the Cherokee nation.

TAPPING BALD EAGLE LAKE,.
Water Board Tries to Convince
Property Owners It's a Good Thing.

Property Owners It's a Good Thing.
Two hours of the meeting Of the
water board was devoted yesterday to
listening to protests made by residents
and property owners around Bald Eagle
and White Bear lakes against the pro-
posed tapping Of Bald Eagle lake by the
water board.
A petition presented to the board by the
Bald Eagle delegation asked for an agree
ment to the effect that the gate to the
proposed canal between Bald Eagle and
Otter lakes should at no time be
changed from the present level as shown
by the plans.
The plans of the board is to build a
canal from Bald Eagle lake to Otter lake.
a distance of half a mile. The gate is to
be two feet higher than the present out
let Of the lake and according to the
statements of the water board and the
city engineer the canal will drain water
from the lake only when there is high
water In the spring. The board refused
at the advice of Assistant Corporation
Attorney Taylor to make any agreement
such as the Bald Eagle delegation asked
for the reason that 1t was not deemed
advisable to bind the future action of the
board.
HIT. Drake and other representatives
from the White Bear Improvement asso-
citation were also present to protect
against the proposed improvement on the
ground that it would have q tendency
to lower the water in White Bear lake.
The city engineer Informed the White
Bear delegation that Bald Eagle lake was
fourteen feet lower than white Bear lake.
The delegation were assured that the in
tentfon Of the board was only to use
the water from Bald Eagle lake which
was now going to waste through another
outlet. and that as a matter of fact the
level in the lake would be higher than
at the present time. -'-' - 20
Deeds from three persons for land to
be used In the proposed canal Between
Bald Eagle and Otter lake were accepted
and the sum of $500 appropriated to pay
for the land taken
Bills aggregating $791.47 were approved
and ordered paid.

lures to the two vaults to be built in

from Forest to Cypress.
The engineer reported that 1t would
cost $500 to put the plant at Baldwin lake
in order for operation. The pumping
plant at this point is a reserve one and
when the season is a dry one 1t is kept
in readiness in case of accident or lack
of supply from the Centerville station.
