Chickasaw Townsite Commission,
Ardmore, |. T.


Ardmore, |. 7.
Gentlemen:-ThiS Office is in re-
ceipt of your report of February
10, 1900, transmitting papers con-
nected with the petition of John S.
Hammer, to contest the claims of
various persons TO improvements
in the town of Ardmore. Hammer
alleges that during the years 1886
Z, one l.. p. Adkins and his wife,
Francis Adkins, Choctaw Indians,
put in a claim on the then Chicka-
saw domain, extending about one
mile. e.north from what is now Broad
way street, in said city of Ardmore,
and one mile east from the q. {.
and s. F. Railway, and about one
mile west Of the railway aforesaid,
containing over one thousand
acres; that the said l.. +. Adkins
and wife were the original and
bona fide settlers upon said tract
of land. He further alleges that
by numerous, sundry, and divers
transfers of record and judicial de-
crees, he became the owner of a
great portion of the aforesaid land
and alleges that he is entitled to
the right to have the improvements
thereon appraised and scheduled to
him at fifty and sixty-two and one
half per cent of their appraised
values.
1t appears that Mr.. Hammer in
tended his paper to be considered
as an affidavit of contest. You SO
considered it and ON February u,
1900, dismissed the contest. fol
the reason that no cause of action
had been stated. On February II,
1900, and within the time limited
by the rules of practice, Mr.. Ham.
mer, the contestant, filed an appeal
from your action, contending that
you erred in dismissing the cast
without giving him an opportunity
to be heard; that your action wa.
in violation of Departmental in.
structions and of the instructions
of this Office and that it was il
contravention of the 10th section
of the act of June -, 1858. 1t was
held in the case of McNeish, re.

THE paper trust is making sad
havoc with the home-prin country
papers now, and many of them are
resuming ths ready-print service
for the sake of economy, the close
competition between the ready
print houses making their service
as cheap or cheaper than the blank
paper. An idea of the amount of
the advance in paper can be had
from the fact that a car of paper
purchased by the ARDMOREITE two
months ago is todaysworth 5000
more than was paid for it.

The sentiment of the Indians is
fast assuming the form of open ex
preston regarding conditions here
and it is a significant fact that
those expressions are in line with
the demands made by nOn-citizens
for some time. The South Meal
ester convention developed the fact
that the Indians are not only be-
coming dissatisfied, but are ready
and willing to join the white men
in demanding a change. There
were Indian citizens there as dele
gates and Indians held offices in
the convention. The cry of the
fOreign-rule advocates that the
whites were alone in their agita-
tion is discOuntenanced by the
facts of the convention and by in
dividual expressions Of endorse
ment since. If congress does not
heed the protest when presented in
the form of great popular memo
rial it will be because politics and
party override justice and right.
