DIDN'T RECOGNIZE vINITA.

The information from Table
quah is that the national council
viii be called in extra session soon
for the purpose of creating another
commission to treat with the
Dawes commission. The inten-
ton is to make an agreement in
time for it to be submitted to q
popular vote Of the people at the
regular August election when a
chief and council is to be elected.
1t is extremely doubtful if the
council will be able TO pass such
an act. Last fall it took heroic work
to get the bill through creating a
commission, and had not the Vini-
ia contingent worked faithfully in
the interest ofthe measure it would
never have passed, and Vinita
was rewarded by being ignored
absolutely and entirely when the
members of the commission were
named by Chief Mayes. The bone
that was thrown TO the town after
ward by the appointment of L. B.
Bell as a delegate to Washington
did not satisfy or compensate the
town by any means. Vinita is by
far the most important town in the
Cherokee nation, and is the center
of a greater population than any
other place of the Cherokee coun-
try, and common courtesy would
have given her recognition. 1t
will be extremely difficult for the
national council to create another
commission.

AN OPPRESSIVE DEMAND.

The full force and effect Of the
rigid enforcement Of the Curtis act
is probably not fully realized by
the masses of Cherokee citizens.
To confine Cherokees to so acres
in their holding, and TO force such
a restriction upon them suddenly
would entail an enormous burden,
and the result would be a tremen-
dous loss. The matter of the re-
moval and adjustment Of fences
alone would cost the tribe a mil
lion dollars or probably more.
There are few farmers that would
be able to move and rebuild their
fences on the lines indicated in
that clause of the Curtis act. Many
a Cherokee farmer, was he to sell
his teams and convert all his stock
into cash, would not have sufficient
means to so adjust his fences. The
enormity of the proposition has
doubtless never dawned upon the
average congressman. Apply the
same order to the farmers Of Ark
ansas, or Missouri, or Kansas, and
the bone and sinew of either state
would be ruined and bankrupted.
Yet that is the fiat that has gone
forth from the interior Office. and
the people viii be compelled to
obey or be in contempt of law, and
thus force themselves out Of the
pale of good citizenship. They
stand aghast and dumfounded at
the enormity of the demands
made upon them. The Cherokees
simply cannot comply with the
order. 1t is a physical impossi-
bility for them to do so. Waving
every right the Cherokees are sup
posed to have as owners of the
soil upon which they live, end to

Treaty Only Asleep.

Hon. l.. NJ. Bell, of Vinita ad-
dressed a large meeting in the
court room Wednesday afternoon
on the prospects of the Cherokees
effecting a trade with the United
States after the failure of the re-
cent treaty before congress.
Mr.. Bell was one ofthe delegates
representing the Cherokee nation
in behalf of the ratification of the
treaty by congress. He stated
that the opposition to the treaty
was not as strong as many believe
but that the lack of time was the
main cause of its failure. The
two most Objectionable features
were the statehood clause and the
valuation of land. He believes
that it will be for the best interests
of the Cherokee people to arrange
for another treaty with Dawes
commission on the lines of the old
treaty with some notifications as
were indicated by those interested
in Legislation for this country. By
this plan it is believed that the
Curtis bill will be held in abeyance
until such treaty is made, as the au'
thorities at Washington still con-
the treaty as now pending
and that the failure of congress to
ratify it for want Of time was no
fault of the Cherokees, and would
be unjust to strictly enforce the
provisions of the Curtis bill until
congress has acted on a treaty
made by the Cherokees.-Clars-
m ore Progress.

MAKE IT 100 ACRES

1t is believed by those who are
in a position to know, that the
secretary Of the interior could be
induced by proper representation,
to modify the rules and regulations
promulgated for the guidance Of
those who are inlrusted with the
enforcement Of the Curtis ac,, to
so modify the order IS 10 allow
Cherokees to file upon 10 acres
instead of so. This would be
more in line with what the Chero-
KEGS consider justice TO themselves
as citizens of the Cherokee nation
and the owners Of the land to be
so divided. Such modification
would also be in line with the
agreement recently made with The
Dawes commission and ratified by
an unprecedented majority Of
Cherokee voters at the polls.
Congress, in lis wisdom. saw fit to
reject the agreement 1t is true, bat
nevertheles, IT was an expression Of
the sentiment Of the Cherokees,
and showed that they were willing
to acquiesce in the efforts Of the
Dawes commission to bring about
an equitable allotment of the lands
of the tribe. The Cherokees feel
oppressed and injured by the Or
der that they be allowed to only file
upon so acres Of land. They feel
that it is a curtailment Of their
rights unwarranted by any reason
able hypothesis, and that the Cur
It's law does not contemplate any
such unjust imposition.
Then again, the enforcement of
the so acre rule, will be resisted
vehemently and fought to the last
ditch by the Cherokees. 1t viii
cost the government a vast sum Of
money, and food the courts with
litigation, and will end in the defeat
of the object of the government,
namely, the final allotment Of the
land and the NATURALIZATION of
the title
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1899-03-16

which this severe order applies, il
lie Un-American and would be out
rsgeous if applied to squatters and
intruders upon the public lands of
the government. Indeed no such
decree has ever been issued
against the known and confessed
intruders of the Cherokee nation,
who have no rights whatever to
the land upon which they have
settled, and from which the gov
ernment has failed to keep its
promise to eject them.
The proposition is so utterly
outrageous and unreasonable the
Cherokees are loath to believe the
order is issued in good faith, and
that the government intends to en-
force it.
Another thing that has not been
considered, doubtless, is that it
forces Cherokee citizens to occupy
less land than an equitable allot-
ment would give them, and that it
places them in such q position as
would necessarily divide their al
lotments. When so acres is taken
and all adjacent land occupied by
others, the residue of allotments
would have to be selected else
where, perhaps SO far away as to
render it practically worthless.

NO NOTION OF DYING.
A Little Story on and One
by D, S. Warren.

Dan Warren is up again, and was
in town Monday. His brother John
said few days ago that whether a
man lived or died, during a spell
of sickness, depended much on the
man being afraid he was going to do
so, or not. He did not low Dan
would die on any small provocation
and the writer agreed with him.
In spite OF being in rather spare
condition Mr.. Warren was bewail-
ing the fact that he was not at Big
Cabin some weeks ago when a
couple OF horse thieves were al
lowed to depart unmolested by
two of the residents of the town
who recognized them. In proof
that he had had some experience,
and was not guessing at what he
would have done Mr.. Warren told
of being constable a good many
years ago in Webster county, Mis-
souri,, II miles south of Marshfeld.
Hs arrested a man named Eli La
key for numbering another with a
knife, and compelled him to accom-
pany him with very little ceremo-
ny. The man was convicted and
sentenced to be hung, but made
his escape a few days before the
date set for execution and was
never captured. He is thought to
be alive and livingin New Mexico.

The first of April comes down
to US from the musty archives OF
the past as "All FOOLS Day." but
suggestive as this might seem, the
Dawes commission have designa-
ted the same as the date of the
opening of the first land office in
the Indian Territory. All Creek
citizens will be privileged to file
upon 100 acres Of land. This will
be the first step toward the enforce
ment of the Curtis act. If the
Creeks acquiesce in the order and
rush in and file on their claims it
is possible the Dawes commission
intend to proceed without the
formality of an agreement. owe

ReThmpled From Our SOuTenIer EdI.
fIOn.

An Indian Territory exchange
reports that a rsnchmsn went to
/ the nearest town on business,
and shortly after his departure,
Bessie, his five year old child,
wandered away from home in an
attemp to follow him. The mother
missed her two hours later and
instituted search. When the
father returned, the neighborhood
turned out in force and searched
two days and nights. finally an
Indian found Bessie on an aband-
oned trail She was fast asleep
and across her body stood a New
foundland dog. The dog was torn
and bleeding and near by lay the
bodies Of two wolves. The girl
was unhsrmed and she and her
protector were taken back to her
home, a distance of twelve miles.
Sad to relate, the dog died that
night of his wounds. The ranch
man gave him a decent burial, at
which all the neighbors attended,
and a marble headstone has been
ordered for his grave,-Drovers

Treaty and AniI-IreatI.


sALLIsAw. 1. T.. March Q. ls99.
To the citizens OF the Cheroker
Nation:
The congress of the United State
having defeated the Dswes-Chero
kee treaty for ressons best known
to themselves,sn from outside re
ports we learn that the most objec
tionsble clause was that which
provided for separate statehood
for Oklahoma, this treaty was
adopted by our people by q major,
ity of 2l05 votes which shows the
sentiment of our people, the Cher,
okee people, it seems to me, ought
to have some voice in the settle
msnt of their own affairs. By the
Curtis Law we have not this right.
The Curtis law only gives the
right OF occupancy, with no pro-
vision TO give final title, and this
to only eighty acres, which is not
an equal and equitable division of
the lands of the tribe.
By the terms of the treaty We
were TO receive an equal and just
division of all the lands and mon
eys of the tribe. 1t also provided
for title to sllotments and town
lots, which is what a majority Of
the citizens Of the nation want;
therefore l suggest that a general
convention Of the citizen. Of the
Cherokee nation be held in the
near future to adopt some measure
by which we may have some voice
in the settling of our own affairs.
We might also take some steps TO
get the secretary Of the interior to
stay the operation of the Curtis
law until new treaty be made or
until some other more equitable
law be passed by congress.
The Cherokee national council
as itnon stands is probably against
making q treaty, but the said con-
vention could arrange TO make the
adoption of treaty an issue in
the coming August election which
no doubt would give the treaty
faction the power in the next Cher.
okee national council.
a new commission on the part
of the Cherokees might eliminate
the Objectionable features Of the
treaty that has just been defeated
and might be able to get other val.
liable concessions from the COM
mission on the part Of the United
States.
1t will be necessary, before title
can pass to the individual citizen
to have further Legislation on the
part of the United States govern
ment, or else make a new treaty, ,as
the title is in the tribe.
Therefore we would suggest that
if this meets with the approval of
the principal chief that he call
at an early day to con-
slider these all important ques-
tions. Yours respectfully,
G.. O. FRYE.

Advices from Washington indi-
