COL. THOS. B. NEEDLES
interviewed by the Chieftain
Man Today.

Col. Thomas B.Needles, the pop
ular member of the Dawes COM
mission, came up from Muskogee
this morning and will take the
Frisco train east to st. Louis this
evening.
Col. Needles is of the opinion
that the Cherokee treaty will be
ratified by congress with the
amendments offered by Secretary
Hitchcock, and that there will be
little delay.
When asked with reference to
the establishment of land offices
in the Cherokee nation for the pur-
pose Of recording allotments OF cit
izens he said that part Of the work
would possibly not be reached be-
fore spring of next year,
as tner6 ls so
other preliminary work such
as making the rolls of citizens, etc.
The roll Of freedmen will be made
at the same time as that of other
citizens, and the commission begins
the 18th of May in the eastern
part Of the nation, and will not
reach Vinita before September.
In the meantime the townsite COM
missioners, who act independently
Of the Dawes commission, will GO
forward with the work Of plating
appraising, and selling town lots
throughout the nation and per-
haps finish that branch OF the
work before allotment proper be-
gins.
Co.. Needles said the Greek
treaty was in bad condition, anf
the chances for an early settle
ment in that nation were not good
He said the commission was graf
fled at The prospect ofa final an'
altogether fortunate settlement
with the Cherokees, who have 81
many complications and knottl
problems to settle, and that a
last they would come out in ad
vance of the other tribes.

WILL BE RATIFIED.

A full week has now elapsed
since the new Cherokee treaty was
promulgated, and the people OF
the Cherokee nation have put in
the time discussing and digesting
II. Underthe intelligent and dis
corning eye Of the Cherokee people
its weaknesses have been brought
to the surface, and its strong
features pointed out. Enough has
been said to indicate without any
sort of mistake, that the treaty
will be promptly ratified as surely
as the voters of the Cherokee
nation get a chance at the polls to
express their sentiments. There
are those who will oppose 1T;
most of these people opposed it
before they had ever seen copy
of it. The same men opposed the
old treaty, and would oppose any
and all such instruments that
could possibly be written. It is
noticeable, however, that the chief
objections come from the Greek
country; from Wagner and Mus
kogee. 1t is easily understood
how and why these Creek towns
should oppose the Cherokee
treaty, and why they should give
publicity to interviews with Chro-
KEGS who oppose it. The rath'
cation Of the Cherokee treaty
means that the Cherokee nation
will be placed immediately in the
front rank Of progress, ahead OF all
the other tribes, as their treaty Is
the only one that provides for q
final and tangible settlement. L
our treaty is ratified, the towns O
the Cherokee nation will of course
outstrip Wagner and MuskOgee
and other territory cities. The
reason then for the objection il
obvious and should only strength
en- the treaty among Cherokees.
The Greek treaty is held up in
definitely. and is hopeless so fai
as ratification in its present form
is concerned. The Cherokeel
have the best, the fairest, and th'
ablest treaty ever written, ant
will not fail to ratify it.
