The Cherokee citizens of this vi
cinity are well pleased with the
Dawes Cherokee agreement, Every
one who has read it says that it is
just what they want. This shows
the good judgment of the Chero-
KEGS, as they know a good thing
when they see it and will no doubt
exemplify the same when it comes
to voting.

[Muskogee Times.l


The Cherokee agreement seems
to be satisfactory to great ma
iority of the Cherokee citizens. 1t
will doubtless be ratified by a
popular vote on the last day of
January. The adoption of this
treaty will place the Cherokees in
the front ranks among the FIVE
tribes, notwithstanding their tar
diness Of course there may be
some Objectionable features in the
treaty to many of the Cherokees,
but they are not of such great i'm
portance as to call for a condem-
nation of the entire treaty. The
treaty is very lengthy but it could
not have been much shorter and
mbraced all of the many compli-
cations which are attached to this
tribe. 1t is said that many of the
fullbloods are against the treaty.
They are not any more opposed to
this treaty, than they would be to
any other treaty. They are op-
posed to any change in their tribal
matters and any treaty providing
for a surrender of tribal laws and
usages will be opposed by large
number of them. This, however,
is not the case at this time with
the Creek Indians who are now
negotiating with the Dawes COM
mission. They have arrived at
that point where they have de-
cided to surrender their tribal laws
and take their allotment and be-
come masters OF their possession
in an individual capacity. In
this manner they believe that their
individual interests will be better
protected at less cost and the temp
tations for corruption further re-
moved from them.

Much OF Phoenix space this
week is given over to the new
Dawes Cherokee agreement. As
the people of the Cherokee nation
must pass judgement on this bit
of work in about ten days, they
should have the document at once
and in an accurate form. The
document deserves to be read and
re-read. The more It'll read the
more the possibilities of the thing
is discovered.

The assumption that all the
fullbloods are going to vote against
the ratification Of the agreement is
met not borne out by the facts as
they appear from reports from
fullblood strongholds. A large
number of intelligent Cherokee
fullbloods will vote for the treaty,
as they are just as capable of real
izing what is best for their indi-
vidual interests as any other class
OF citizens,

ported on the streets that Judge
Thomas would convene court in
Muskogee next Monday morning,
Times representative called on
the judge at his rooms at the
depot hotel this afternoon. Judge
Thomas stated that there was alb
solutely no foundation for the re-
port and that the matter was
entirely in Judge Springer's hands.
The judge stated that as he had
a number of opinions TO prepare
and that as he had not recovered
from his recent attack of sickness

lChecotah Enquirer.l

Chief Mayes has issued his proc
lamation calling an election for
January 91st, for vote on the
Cherokee agreement, recently en-
tered into. While there is a con-
siderable opposition being mani
tested against the agreement by
some of the influential fullbloods,
the more intelligent and conserva
tive element realize that it con-
tains many good features and are
confident of its ratification. The
agreement as whole is an able
document and reflects credit on
the broad. minded statesmen who
drafted it. OF course many other
things could have been embodied
in it that would have tickled the
fancy of a few, but considering
the whole Cherokee people it is
the most fair and equitable ad
justment of the property rights
that could have been perfected. 1t
is probably the best agreement
that can ever be made, and we be-
lieve the Cherokees are too shrewd
to see it defeated.

81 like that treaty." was the re-
mark made by prominent Chero-
kee citizen in the presence of the
Arrow Tuesday. "The more |
read it the better | like it, and
while it damages me to some ex-
tent in a financial way, feel that
it will be infinitely better for US
all if the treaty is ratified, both
by our own people and congress.
The country then, will take on
new form Of development, and the
increased value of our holdings
will then more than compensate
our losses in allotment"

The oft-repeated statement that
the fullblood Cherokees are in

is erroneous and misleading. Many
of the tullbloods have the very
best land in the nation.

Interview With Manager Raymond
On the Subject.
Old Electric Co.'S Rates
Not Higher Than New.
Stress Laid On Excellence of
Consolidated Co.'S Plant.

The impression has prevailed to great
er or less extent during the recent light
ing controversy that the admission Of an
other company to do business in Portland
would seriously affect the Consolidated
company, and it has also been supposed
that the rates quoted by the new compa-
ny were considerably lower than those of
the Consolidated
In an interview on Saturday Mr.. Ray
mond, the manager of the Consolidated
| company stated in very positive man
mel that his company does not fear COM
petition in the least, and that 1t will
meet any figures for light or power which
the new company may make. Mr.. Ray
mond takes exceptions to the statements
frequently made to the effect that the
| Consolidated company is charging exor-
bitant rates. He says that the rates
charged by the company will compare
most favorably with those of any station
o. similar size in New England
MIR. Raymond contends that the IN sior-
company have for some time past been re-
ceiving lower rates for light and power
than those offered by the new company
He admits that there are certain instan-
ces where small consumers are obliged to
pay somewhat more than the new COM
pany offers to furnish light, but he says
that the Consolidated company is furnish
ing these consumers with light as cheaply
rs it can be done by any company with
out losing money.
Mr.. Raymond lays special stress on the
excellence OF the equipment of the Con
solidated plant and in forcible manner
calls attention to the fact that the custo-
mers of the Consolidated company are
sure to receive their light and power
twenty -four hours per day.

About O'Clock Sunday morning a
man and woman who claimed to be
united in the holy bonds of ma.rimony.
but who were certainly not united In
anything else, got into "a row on Federal
street, near the corner of Middle. They
claimed to be members of the "A Girl
from ireland Company" and made SO
much noise that they attracted large
crowd even at that early hour in the
morning. Two police officers came along
and endeavored to quiet the woman who
vas making all the noise, but they were
only insulted and jeered at for their
pacific endeavors and were finally forced
to arrest the woman. Immediately she
found herself given in charge she began
to cry sand almost went into Mysteries.
her husband explained this little family
quarrel by stating that the members Of
the thea rical company had been plague
ing his wife because she was 40 and he
was only 81, and she had taken 10 drink
and this caused the trouble. The woman
was kept in the police station all night
and released yesterday morning on condi
ton that she would take the first train
ont of Portland for Boston.

HARB0R NOTES.
Items ofInterest Picked Up Along the
Water Front.

High freights are prevailing at Bangor
aud rates ON lumber jumped from S. 25
to $3.50 to New York For many years
tie coasters have been getting only 81. so
per thousand to Boston, 81 to ports on
Long Island sound and S3.25 to New
York, while at times these low rates have
been shaded.
Vessels are IN demand for the stone
trade, for all the Maine quarries are busy.
One reason for the scarcity of vessels is
that great many were lost in last win
ter's gales and another is that the United
States government is using IA good deal
of tonnage in the transportation of stone
for Notifications and of coal for val ious
naval stations.
