CURTIS LAW SUSPENDED.
Pending Action on Treaty It
Is Partly imperative

Washington, D. c., July 49,
The wholesale petitioning, plead
ing and importuning by the peo'
pie Of the Cherokee and Creek ma
tions to prevent the enforcement
Of the Curtis act, as formerly
agreed upon by the secretary Of
the interior, has at last borne fruit
and another opportunity will be
given congress and the tribal gov.
ernments of the two nations in
question to approve some salts.
factory treaty agreement. But
this plan, however, does not con-
template the reversal Of the de-
cision Of the department to enforce
the Curtis law, but merely a mod
i6cation of the original plan.
After carefully going over the
situation with Assistant Secretary
Ryan and Commissioner of Indian
Affairs Jones, Secretary Hitch
cock decided that the application
Of certain provisions of the Curtis
act would prove as efficacious and
probably more SO than the en-
forcement of the law in it's entire
ty. The former course could
be pursued without causing tric.
tion between the tribal officials,
the Dawes commission and the
representatives Of the department
in the territory, while the latter
course would result in endless
litigationa which might postpone
work indefinitely and would Ger.
tainly cause i'll feeling among the
people. Accordingly the Dawes
commission has been instructed
to proceed with the preparation Of
the tribal rolls of the Greek and
Cherokee nations and to press this
work as rapidly as possible. 1t is
estimated that it will require at
least six months, and probably
year, before these rolls can be fin-
ally prepared and passed upon by
the department. AS this work
would be necessary under any
treaty that might be agreed upon,
as we'll as in conformity with the
provisions of the Curtis act, it was
deemed expedient to give this par
ticular field Of work precedence.
1t is expectad at the interior de-
partment that much more trouble
will arise over the preparation Of
the Cherokee rolls than those of
any nation in the territory, be-
cause of intermarried citizens and
those who have been adopted as
citizens in past years through, al
least, questionable methods.
TOWNSHIP WORK TO PROCEED.
Bnother provision in the Curtis
act which will be enforced relates
to the surveying and appraising
the townsite property. In the In
The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1900-07-21

dian appropriation bill, which
passed last winter, making ap-
preparations for the present fiscal
year, a change was authorized in
the townsite appraisement board.
Under this new law the citizens Of
any OF the towns in the territory
can survey and plat their own
town if they so elect, defraying all
the expenses themselves. The
same privilege is accorded to the
people of the Cherokee and Creek
nations, but up to the present
time there have been no applica-
tions for such authority. The
law vested in the secretary of the
interior absolute control over this
work, and left it discretionary
with him as to how it could be
hest effected. AS q result the Sec
retary has decided to appoint
corps of surveyors in the Chero-
kee and Greek nations to survey
the towns. The appraisement
boards will not be appointed until
after the final map and charts of
the surveyors have been approved.
This change was found necessary
as a result Of the boards which
have already been at work in the
territory, notably at Wagner,
Muskogee, South McAlester and
Ardmore.
(, For more than year the boards
at Muskogee and Wagner have
been at work, and still the maps
of the towns which are being pre-
pared by the engineers have not
yet been completed, thus render
ing the townsite boards Of little
value, as their work does not
properly commence there until
after the towns have been survey
ed and plated and work Of ap-
praisement begun. AS soon as
the towns are surveyed and plat
ted, then the secretary proposes
to appoint townsite boards, prob
ably not in excess OF three or four,
which will follow up the survey
ing corps from city to city and ap-
praise the properly. This work
will be done In the Cherokee and
Greek nations under the provi-
sions of the Curtis act, though the
final appraised value may be fixed
in subsequent treaties, as it is
hardly probable that the assess
menls will be collected until after
reconvenes. Under the
provisions of the Curtis act all i'm
proved town-site property is to be
paid for at one.half its appraised
value, while unimproved property |
is to be paid for at its face value.
1t is has been contended all along |
by the people Of the two nations
particularly the white people own
ing the large majority of the city
that this was an ex-
horbitant rate; that the principal
value of this property had been
given it by the improvements
placed in the territory by the

And Great Was the Fall Thereof.

Just after meeting was out at the
tent last night, and while
the people were departing for Their
different homes. two young and pret-
ty girls started to to leave the tent
from the rear when alas, wire
caught the foot Of one Of them and a
mighty fall was the result. The
ground was soft, however, and the
girl was not hurt. She thought no
one saw the catastrophe, but the ever
watchful eye of a Chieftain man was
upon her, and saw all.
