TOWN COMMISSIONERS.
Appointed by the Mayors,
Says the Secretary.

The following communication
from j. George Wright, U. s. in
spector for the Indian Territory,
was presented to the Muskogee
town council at its late session:
Referring to the petition of the
citizens of the town of Muskogee
for the appointment of townsite
commissioners to lay out and plat
said town, l am in receipt of a
communication from the honor
able secretary Of the interior, in
which he says, in part:
SIN view, however, of the pecu-
liar circumstances set forth in said
petition, the department considers
it advisable that commissioner
be appointed as provided in said
section Is of the Curtis bill, and
you will accordingly SO advise the
principal chief of the Creek ma
ton. You will also request the
mayor of Muskogee to select some
one to represent the town as a
member of the commission ETC..
/ have accordingly advised the
principal chief OF the Creek ma
ton, who has promised to appoint
one member Of the tribe to act for
and on behalf of the Creek nation,
and this TO notify you to advise
me Of the name Of the persons who
is or has been selected to act on
behalf OF the town of Muskogee,l
and / desire this Information BY

committed errors, ! regret them
and apologize for them, but, in the
main, believe my work has been
alike honorable and efficient. The
only regret 1 feel in leaving the
Office is, that all the records and
papers Of this agency were destroy
ed by fire on the 23rd of February
last. The fire fiend did good job
and swept the platter clean
Those records we're valuable from
historical standpoint, covering a
period of about 70 years. the
letter books showed the steps OF
these tribes as they passed on up
to higher civilization. The
agency contained in its files letters
signed by Andrew Jackson, Mar
tin VanBuren, Harrison, Jas. Ty-
Ter, J. X. Polk, Taylor and Fill
more all the way down in point of
time to President Mckinley.
There were several letters in rela-
tion to Indian affairs written in
his own hand by President Polk
and by Daniel Webster and John
G. Calhoun as secretaries of state.
An autograph fiend or collector
once offered me two hundred dol
lars for the privilege of ransacking
the file and helping himself to
autographs. AS an Indian agent

suspicion, | suppose | had better

fore the agency. He said | was
fool for not taking it. When |
next heard from him, he was re-
porting somewhat in detail that

little garrulous, and l expect to
write a reminiscent history OF this
agency some day. | retire from

remarks to a Phoenix reporter
on his retirement as Indian agent
is none the less 80.
1T is fact," says Col. Wisdom,
"that my resignation as Indian
agent, was rendered to the Hon.
secretary of the interior as far back
as August 13, 1898. This was my
second resignation, as l did tie
same thing Immediately after the
installation of President Mckinley.
For reasons satisfactory to the de-
partment neither resignation was
accepted until the 18th day Of this
month.
"My second resignation was in
duced by the passage of the Curtis
bill, and may say emphasized by
the rules and regulations pre-
scribed by the Hon. secretary Of
the interior, looking to its enforce
ment. The bill itself and the rules
imposed on me heavy duties with
out increased and without adequate
compensation. | was made SUBJ
stantially receiver and disburser
of the public revenues arising from
various sources. ! am required to
collect and account for all royal
ties on coal, asphalt and other min
erals in all the tribes OF the agency.
"In the Creek and Cherokee ma
tions, | collect and deposite to
the credit Of said tribes, monies
due on permits and taxes due by
licensed traders in addition to roy
alties on minerals; again | am re-
quired to pay the salaries Of
all teachers employed in the pub
,ic schools under the supervision
and direction OF the U. S. Indian
inspector. Also the salaries of the
tribal officers and the warrants is
sued for the indebtedness OF the
several nations. am also requir-
ed to collect all monies arising
from sale of town sites. This
agency will need other clerks. The
policy of the times is expansion,
and this agency is up-to- date in
that line. | am now confronted
with large payment to the Che
rokees-payments to other tribes
must follow in due course of time.
In addition TO the above duties,
family outlined; I must discharge
other executive duties which are
imposed on me by law.
"The business of the agency for
the past year, instead of being d.
minished has been increased--it is
not altogether the same in kind,
but it has grown in bulk and vol
ume. There are people who may
i like the job as it now stands, but

Those unfortunates have slept very
lightly and have trembled every
time they thought of the conse

come. Sunday night all that kept
it away was the fact that it became
cloudy in the early part of the night
and remained so until morning A
frost now however would not hurt
very much. The fruit and berries
are too far advanced TO be injured
and only hard freeze could touch
them. This is not at all likely to
