DENNIS FLYNN GIVES It UP.
Kiowa and Comanche Country Can
not be Opened Next Spring.
ALL HOPE FOR 1T is GONE.

Wichita, Nov. 2O.-In an interview
here Delegate Dennis T. Flynn said
that all hope of opening the Kiowa and
Comanche country to settlement next
Spring is gone; adding: Il have held
out from the first that the a1lotments
would be completed and the country
opened in the spring. I had not been
on the ground. I know now that this
will not be done It is only through
the kindness of Secretary Hitchcock
that most of the present allotments
have been made at ail-sOme 300 have
been made-for he has given us the
bulk of the whole appropriation for
allotment in the nation.
''Now comes a new danger into the
situation. Under the law it may be
held mandatory that all allotments be
completed by December next. They
now demand that the work of allotting
cease on and after that date. This
will be for the secretary to construe
The chief trouble of all is the matter
of surveyors marks. Many are gone.
1t is almost impossible to locate them.
'SThe country was surveyed twenty
seven years ago. 1t took $50 men to
survey it then, and as it is there are
four townships in the Wichita noun
tains which have never been surveyed
E<If the allotments to be made are
made before June THAT is, next year,
congress will have to pass Immediate

ion nothing else will suffice.
Another difficulty which is up is
this There are on the reservation at
this time, among the Indians, 800 cases
of smallpox.
''The whole outlook is greatly dis
couraging. I had counted implicitly
on an opening in the early spring. 1t
cannot be in the spring now"
