for this rtate of things lies in the

Ii is now the opinion of the best
informed that the proposed new
railroad which Vinita thinks il
will get will not go there at all.
The latest plan is to construct the
line on a slight zigzag to Fairland,
thence on an air line to Wagner
and from there on to Coweta and
Okmulgee. The idea seems to he
to head off couple of Campus
roads which are to parallel each
other and wiggle through the hills
from some northern point. Glare

AT no time In the history Of the
Cherokee people has there ever
been a time when it was more
iminsntly necessary for them TO
stand together and make their
cause a common one with the gov
ernment. The time for partisan
prejudice has passed, and the cOun-
Gil which will now be organized
should look the situation squarely
In the face and act promptly in
the interest Of a speedy settlement
of the affairs Of the tribe.

Judge Townsend read the riot
act to jury at Pauls Valley Sat
urday for acquitling man charged
with murder. The judge said:
"This verdict is a great surprise
to me. 1t is utterly impossible to
enforce the criminal laws of this
country so long as juries bring in
verdicts OF this kind" They were
snmmarily discharged for the term
and told never TO show themselves
IL that court again.

he will open the regular fall term
Of the Wagner court at which
place there are already on the

The prospect for civil business in

CHEROKEE TOWN LOTS.
The Situation in the Nation
as to Townsites.

| The commissioner states that nc
townsite commission had been ap.
pointed for the Cherokee nation,
and takes occasion to point out the
situation in the nation as to town
sites. This nation is the only one
of the five civilized tribes which
has ever attempted to regulate by
law the laying out of town sites,
and under the laws of the nation
most OF the towns of any import
ance had been laid out by commits
sions appointed for the purpose,
and the town lots had been sold
by these commissioners to citizens
of the nation. Many of the per-
sons who have purchased these
town lots have written to
The commissioner stating that they
have not paid to the nation all
that was due, and asking advice as
to whether or not they should
make further payments. TheIndian
office has advised the agent to col
lect these and other payments un-
der protest from the parties max.
ing the payments, with a view of
protecting the parties when the
towns come to be purchased and
sold. Upder the Curtis law, sec
tion 15, all unimproved lands are
to be sold at not less than their
appraised value at public auction.
Now, in the Cherokee nation these
unimproved lands have been pur-
chased from the nation, and the
purchase money has gone into the
treasury of the nation, and the
nation received the benefit. The |
expressed the opin-
ion that justice to the parties who
have purchased demands that Sec
ton Is Of the Curtis law shall be
SO that they shall not be
required to pay more for fee

and reasonable difference between (
the occupancy title of purchase
from the nation and such fee sim
Pile; in other words, so that the
nation shall not be enriched at the
expense OF the citizens who pur-
,hase in good faith under the laws.
Little is said in the annual re-
port about the work of the Dawes
commission. On this subject the
eport begins with the statement
hat The Indian office was without
Information as TO what was done
" the Dawes commission prior to

Ing OF loans In the early hours by ma
tlonal banks whose reserves are below
the legal limit. But the money rate did
not get above 20 per cent during this
period and at the opening loaned at 6
per cent. Before the afternoon furry II
had fallen back again to per cent. Il
was after o'clock when the rate spurt-
ed to 20 per cent and then dropped back
again before the close. The urgent de-
mand for money seems confined to tho
stock exchange and the small disburse-

hope is entertained in stock market
circles that some measure Of relief by
