TERRITORIAL SKETCHES.


South McAlester Capital; There
seems TO be some confusion among
farmers and agricultural lease holders
arising from that provision of the
Curtis law un1er which all agricu-
cursl leases expire January /, 1900,
The citizens claim these lands, many
of them are demanding possession of
their claims, the possession to take eff
feet the first day of next January. In
many instances the lease holders claim
that they have not had the use and
benefit of the land long enough for
the improvements they have placed on
the land. They are evidently laboring
under q misapprehension of the law
governing these matters. Section of
the Curtis law-that bill is the law and
in full force now-provides that those
who have made valuable and lasting
improvements upon any land shall re.
main in possession of such land until a
reasonable rental shall have ccrnptn-
stated him for such improvcsren 10 IL
This law is very plain and in accord
with the constitution of the United
States. So then the only thing for the
lease holder to do is to remain in pos.
session of his lease until their matters
are adjusted.
Representative Terry, of Arkansas,
has introduced bill of interest to the
people of Indian territory. II provides
that United States court be estab-
lished and directed to be held at Tis-
homingo, in the ChickasRw nation by
he judge Of the United States court
in the southern dis rict OF the Indian
territory. 1t stipulates that there
uhul hn af -
court held at Tishomingo in each ysar,
at such times as the Judge shall desig-
nate, and that it shall continue ia
session at least three weeks or longer,
unless the business shall be sooner
disposed of. II also provides that the
court shall exercise the same jurisdic-
tion as that exercised by the United
States courts now held at Ardmore,
| Purcell, Pauls Valley, Nyan and
Chickasha, and that the nudge ia va
cation shall possess the same powers
and perform the same duties as the
judge Of the courts named.
Col Stovall is to be credited with a
marvellous idea. He has been in the
dairy business on small scale during
the past year; that is, he carried gal
Ion or two OF milk to town every day
for his wife. While plodding along TO
our busy little city last Saturday this
novel idea struck him. In Porto Rico
jennies are used instead OF COWS, their
milk being liked best, So the colonel
has decided 10 sell his COWS, emigrate
to Porto Rico aud invest in dozen
little jennies. Then every morning he
will ride one OF his jennies around 20
his customers, ring little bell, stop
until they milk quart and pay him a
niekle, and then ride on 20 the next.
When one jenny Is MIXED dry be will
ride her back and get a new one. This
will save lots OF labor. and the colonel
says he will soon have a for snne equal
