scaipers buying against puts. The re-
port of a heavy increase IN the worlds
visible, coming when It had been e&-

AGENT WRIGHT'S REPORT.
radical Legislation Aboll-
ton of Tribal Court.

ed the annual report OF special
agent Wright, representative OF
the interior department in the In
dian Territory at Muskogee. II is
very voluminous, comprising sixty
closely written pages and covering
the years operation in the terri
tory exhaustively. The report is
particularly interesting by reason
of the recommendations for new
legislation submitted by the
special agent, whose recommends
tions are usually adhered to by the
secretary ofrthe interior. The In
dian Office has made careful ex-
animation of special recommended
tions for Legislation by congress
and has ccncurrsd in them in a
strong letter to the secretary OF
the interior. The recommends
tions in question are as follows:
RECOMMENDATIONS AND NEW LEG
IsLATIoN DESIRABLE.
"Being directed to state what
legislation consider necessary TO
properly execute the provisions OF
the act of congress approved June
%, 1898, as appears from the ex-
listing condition in the territory, !
have the honor to submit the fol-
lowing:
1T appears by treaty that all
mineral land, other than coal and
asphalt, is not reserved from allot-
ment in the Chickasaw and Choc-
taw nations; therefore, TO avoid
complication later it would appear
desirable that no leases other than
coal and asphalt be made in such
nations, though the treaty provides
leases shall include all mineral.
THAT steps be taken to secure
a uniform system of taxes or per-
mits from non. citizens and others
to trade, introduce stock etc., and
non citizens to reside within the
limits of the five tribes, to be col
lected by the department and ap'
piled as common school fund tc
all, which is much needed, and
for which some provision for non
citizens is essential.
.That the advisability of estab'
fishing a military post and gov
ernment penitentiary within the
limits Of the Indian Territory be
considered.
"Also, the establishment OF an
insane asylum. Reports from dit
ferent officials Of the five tribes
show there are considerable
number of insane persons.
"Solns legislation is desired
concerning the laying out and
working Of public roads. Under
the present system of allottint
there appears to be no provision
made for such, and much com
plant has been and is repeatedly
being made 10 this Office that citi
zens selecting allotments fence vi
existing roads, thereby seriously
inconveniencing the travelling
public and carrying of the mail.
.sIt is also desirable that con
gress be asked TO apply the rs
tray laws Of Arkansas as set fortl
in chapter LviII, entitled 'Es
trays, Of Mansfield Digest Of th'
statutes OF the state of Arkansas
10 the Indian Territory, and tha
the poll tax Of said state also b
made to apply to incorporates
towns in the Indian Territory
together with a Law as TO qualifi
cations Of legal voters and prohib
I iting persons convicted Of felonie

and proper claims against the Uni
ted States, according 10 their rec
ords, and recommends that APP
propriations be made by congress
from Cherokee funds in the treas
ury, to pay all outstanding war;
rants in full. Continuing he says:
"A payment Of Creek warran .,
is now in progress; there being no
records whatever of their indebt-
edness, public notice was given
requiring holders OF all warrants
to present them for examination.
SO tar, warrants to the amount of
about s185, 900 have been present
ed, but it is impossible to state
how many more are outstanding.
Many Of those presented we're inn
properly issued. being signed in
the chiefs name, though not by
him as required by law. Many
others were Issued for which there
appears to be no appropriation,
and consequently cannot be paid,
while others represent amounts
due for tribal court officials for
services rendered after October l,
at which time their courts were
abolished by the Curtis bill, and
the chief SO notified. 1t has, there
fore, required large amount OF
time and labor to examine and as
certain the correctness Of each
warrant presented Tor payment.
"The total amount of warrants
presented which cannot be paid
aggregate $500, approximately.
II recommend that no more
warrants be allowed to be issued
and circulated by tribal authorities
rntil submitted to and approved
by the Indian agent or superin-
tendent OF schools.
"The present condition of the
finances OF these various nations
demonstrates the necessity for
their obtaining all revenue pos
sible.
"As the Cherokee warrants draw
six per cent while the nation only
receives FIVE per cent from the
United States for interest on theiI
funds invested, it would appear
desirable that they be permitted
to withdraw sufficient funds with
which to pay all outstanding in
debtedness.
"The Cherokee and Creek ma
tions appropriated considerable
amounts to pay members and ex'
penses of their council meetings,
besides large sums for other pur-
poses, which while not necessary,
must continue so long as Their
governments are permitted TO re-
main in existence.
1
"The fact that these various
nations appropriate large amounts
, annually without rendering any
practical benefit to the people ex
cept for schools, ehou,d be suffic
lent argument for the desirability
, of disseminating their nationa
, governments-es especially if con
, gress should make provision fol

rokee and Greek nations.

THE TEXAS FEVER.

One Of our contemporaries, in It's Is
sue of June 18th, uses a half column or
its editorial space in criticising an
article that appeared in the Virginian-
PHO, Of recent date regarding Texas
fever and the dipping plant now In op-
alton in this city,
The only result of the labored effort
Of our contemporary is to state that
Southwest Virginia produces good cat
tie, Il fact which all the world well
knows.
SO does Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, Ohio
and many other States; but these, like
Southwest Virginia, are all north of
the quarantine line. Our esteemed con-
temporary can obtain a map showing
the quarantine line Of it so desires)
by applying to the Secretary of Agri-
culture. Washington, ID. c.
The statement to which it takes ex-
ception is made upon the authority of
the best veterinary talent in the coun-
try. 1t Is a fact, as we said. that tho
presence OF the tick in the South has
precluded almost entirely the introduc-
tion Of first-class breeding stock, and
no one knows this fact better than
those cattle raisers OF Southwest Nir-
gnia. who will agree with our position
that the eradication of the tick from
the Southern cattle country of Texas,
Georgia, Alabama and other points
south of the quarantine line is abso-
lutely necessary for their protection,
and at whose instance, very largely. the
present quarantine law was enacted.
The very fact which our contemporary
notes, that "There are, however, in
the section south of the quarantine
line, some fine stock free from disease"
shows that it is not impossible that it
may all be improved. and there is
nothing that can improve them as ef-
fectually as Kidding the country of the
tick.
We would recommend to our esteem
ed contemporary n careful peruSal OF
the recent reports of the Department of
Agriculture and n more thorough I'M
Outstanding of the conditions before it
complains.
The fact is. tie people below the
quarantine line know more of these
things than our contemporary does.

ADVENT OF AUTOMOBILES.

The automobile. or fiorseless carriage
as a common means OF transit is COM
ing. Like the bicycle its advent will
probably be gradual, rs New York and
Chicago, admittedly the fast" cities OF
the United States. are somewhat Glow
in taking hold of them. However. SAN
guine believers in the new transporta-
ton device confidently look forward TO
the not distant day. III their belief.
when the horsclcss cab, coupe and bus
will, to considerable extent, replace
street cars and make rapid transit Il
reality.
At present the generar public is un-
familiar with this new invention, but
that it rapidly grows in favor wherever
introduced, is shown by the results in
Paris and London. In the first named
city there are about two thousand au
tomobles in use. Even the proposed
use of them in the exploded royalist
plot has not visbly affected the pub
lies appreciation of the utility of quiet,
rapid, easily operated and easily re
paired motor carriages that can be
made to go anywhere and as chcaply
as The street car.
In cities it will of course be neces-
sary to regulate the rate of speed at
which automobiles will be permitted to
run; just as other vehicles are now
regulated. For n time also the horse

themselves to the new conditions. and
will do it the more cheerfully because
