DAWES COMMISSIONS WORD.
TAms BIxby Hopes Much Will be Done
This Spring.

Tams Bixby, acting chairman of
the Dawes commission, was in
Kansas City last night on his way
from Washington to Muskogee,
l. t. Mr.. Bixby says he believes
an agreement could have been
reached between the commission
and the Cherokees if there had
been time, which would have re-
moved the objections found in the
treaty by the United States sen
ate.
The new Greek treaty, Mr.
Bixby hopes, will be ratified and
he says the commission is ready
to reopen negotiations with the
Cherokees. II the Creeks and
Cherokees can be dealt with this
spring the entire question of the
allotment of the Indian Territory
jands will be settled this year
and work will begin thereon. The
commission is already trying to,
get to work on the allotment of the
land Of the Choctaws and Chicks

JAKE GUTHRlES FIND.
Zinc, Lead and Silver, Found
Near Park Hill
The Arrow of this week has the

The Arrow of this week has the
following:
Jake Guthrie, of Cotfeyville,
Kansas, has located lead and
zinc claim out near Park Hill, six
miles southeast of Tahlequah, and
for the past month or six weeks he
has had some experts-men who
have in times past located rich.
paying mines of different charac-
ters-working there sinking a shaft
in an effort to demonstrate the ex-
istence there of lack" in paying
quantities. For time Mr.. Guth-
rie hoped against hope, as he
thought, and only afew days ago
he hinted TO friends in the city
that he was almost persuaded to
give up the search for riches
around Park Hill. But in this in
stance the old axiom, "the darkest
hour is just before dawn" was
forcibly illuatrated.
Monday he visited his claim and
talked with his miners.
They were jubilant.
They have drilled to depth OF
forty two feet; the deeper they go
the richer grows the ore, and the
samples which Mr.. Guthrie
brought to the Arrow office appear
to be as fine specimens of jack
as any of that mined at Galena or
Joplin. Mr.. Guthrie was enthusi-
astic over the the suddsn change
in the quantity and qualny'of ore
found, and is now, with his asso-
ciates, more than ever determined
TO push the work for all there is in
it. Mr.. Sam Stratton, who has
worked much in mining countries
and who is practically versed in
mineralogy pronounces the speci-
mems as fine as he ever saw, and
further, that there is every evil
dence of the existence of silver in
the same vein.
Another gentleman from that
section, Mr.. s. d. Clark, came in
Tuesday with a pocket full of
rocks" and he is confident that
this section will at no distant day
develop lead and zinc mines second
only to those around Galena. He
showed US nugget of lead which,
in its crude state, looks almost as
pure as If it had already gone
through the smelter.
AS this comes from within two
miles of Guthrie'si claim 1t is now
believed thstlths existence ofmin-
etaI in paying quantities in Tahle-
quah districts no longer a theory.
but a fact.
Let the good work 60 on.

The testimony before the Industrial

frary to the desire of the shifty politi-
clans who organized it to dodge legisa-
ton promised the people. Some of the
best evidence has come from the heads
of great trusts. Mr.. Havemeyer, the

mission that it summon the manipulation
of every trust and subject him to rigid
examination. Most of them would sup
press the truth with as little compunc-
ton as they rob the people, but all who
lost their tempers would give some good
evidence to hasten the day when an out
ragged people will wipe these outlaws of
commerce off of the face of the earth.

of big corporations often means defeat

The ambitious lawyer, who looks for
judicial honors, is not infrequently warp
ed in his judgment by a wrong trend he
gives to the study of law. He sees
demagogues of the hurrah stamp de-
claiming loudly against courts until he
makes the opinions of courts sacred

the study Of the lawyer is to search for
truth and find it, neither being swayed
by the ignorant demagOgue or the learn
ed lawyer who sells his learning to lille
gal corporations. Such lawyers are as
badly warped as the lawyers of the time
of which Jefferson wrote. Drawing 4
contrast between lawyers who had stuli-

and other lawyers who had not been thus

There is no excuse or justification Cor
the lynching which has put a stain upon
the good name of Carteret county. and
the very men who were guilty of the In "
less act would give almost anything now
if they could recall it. A correspondent
of the Newbern journal tells Of their re,
greet in this paragraph:
''Since the Weeks murder, the people
of Bogue have been on a fearful strain.
No one goes out after night, and even
within doors, there is terrible feeling of
excitement, among men and women, so

The murder carried terror through the
community: the lynching has driven
sleep from the eyes Of all who participas-
ed in it. Obedience to law is the only

If you'll laugh at the jeers and refuse the

To give to the man who bravely tries
And You'll win success with Il little song
If You'll sing the song AS you go along!

You'll find that the busy, rushing throng
Will catch the strain of the glad refrain;
That the sun will follow the binding rain:
That the clouds will fly from the blackened
sky:
That the stars will come out by and by:
And you'll make new friends. till hope de-

From where the placid rainbow bends;
And all because of a little song
II you'll sing the song as you plod along.
If you'll sing a song as you trudge along.
You'll see that the singing will make YOU
strong:
And the heavy load and the rugged road,
And the sing and the stripe Of the tortuous
gOad
Will soar with the note that You set afoat;
That the beam will change to Il trifiing mote;
That the world is bad when you are sad,
And bright and beautiful when glad,
That all you need is a little song
If you'll sing the song as you truIge along.
