To Aid the Dawes Comuassion.

Washington July 27-Secretary
Hitchcock has decided to aid the
Dawes commission in its work a.
mong the five civilized tribes by
giving governmental recognition
and advantages first to those tribes
which agree to treaties with the
commission.
Acting on this plan the Interior
department will not permit the
laying out and survey of townsites

Cherokees have treated with the
Dawes commission and the treaty
has been finally ratified by con-
gress. Instructions to this effect
have been sent to ], George

the Indian Territory.
1t has also been decided to allot
the lands of the Wichita reserva-
tion as soon as the alloting agents
now at work in the Klowa, Com.
anche and Apache reservations
have concluded their work.
This will mean that the surplus
land in the two great reservations
will be thrown open 10 settlement
at the same time. In the Wichita
reservation it is estimated that
there will be at least $50, 900 acres
Of good agricultural lands for set

ROPlNG CONTEST.
Bert 0skison Captures First
Prize in so Seconds.

AS an Offset to the failure and
disappointment Of the Woodley pic
mic, Vinita gave free roping con-
test at the college campus yester-
day afternoon that was exciting
enough to satisfy the most fastid-
ious cattle man on the range, and
afforded an entertainment that
was very near perfect in its line.
The grounds where the contest
took place were splendidly suited
to the occasion. About50 acres Of
smooth open prairie that had been
MOwn two or three weeks ard
the grass was up just high enough
to make a beautiful green sward
with gentle slope to the east and
without a tree or shrub, or break
Of any kind to mar the scene.
About 15 high headed, ionghorned
Texas steers were driven into the
arena about 5 O'Clock and comalled
on the outskirts. Fifteen cowboys
rode leisurely into the campus and
lined up fronting the long line Of
Ibuggies, garages, traps, phaetons,
with a numerous sprinkling Of
eauestrians and pedestrians, and
the swapping OF cameras all along
the line indicated that something
more enduring Of the occasion
than mere memory would be pre-
served.
The following cowboys entered
the contest, and drew numbers for
their turns at the roping. Bert
Oskison, Jim Rider, Jim Hopkins,
Will Rogers, Heber Skinner, Spy
Trent, John Weir, Joe Knight and
and Alex Fran kiln. John Frank
lin and Robt. L. Mcclure were
selected as timekeepeIs and w lE.
Halsell as Judge. Sam Cobb and
Jim Walker cut the steers out
from the bunch and turned them
si0gIy into the open the
eowboys dashed in according
to Damber and the work began.
BertOskison won the first premium
S25s r0pipg and tying his steer in
SO seconds. Second money, &15,
was won'in So seconds by dim
Hopkins, and Alex Franklin Ron
third in t61 seconds. Pretty near
ly everybody in Vinita and large
numbers from the country turned
out to see the contest and the
streets at the town were we'll nigh
deserted while it was in progress.
Heber Skinner came in three sec-
onds Of being a winner and was
considered one of the most skillfnl
ropemen in the bunch.
