WHEAT FROM RUSSIA.
Mr.. Warkentin Introduces 1t Among
Oklahoma People.

Blackwell, o. T., July 1S.-The Times
Record says that w. B. Warkentin, pres
ident Of the Blackwell Milling & Elevator
company, also of the Newton and Hal
stead Kans., companies, was in the city
this week. Mr.. Warkentin is an active
and prominent member of the Kansas
State Millers' Association, was largely
instrumental in securing the shipment
of Russian seed wheat, direct from one
of the most extensive growers in Rus
STA There is about 1900 bushels Of
wheat in the Importation and it will be
distributed over Kansas and Oklahoma.
The Blackwell Mill and Elevator COM
pany and the Kingfisher Milling com
pany are the Oklahoma mills that will
have part of the wheat for distribution.
Mr.. Foltz of the local company, informs
us that the shipment has issued New
York, and the car assigned for Black
well, will probably be here the latter
part Of July. The price per bushel can
not be absolutely known until all charges
are met but they hope to be able to make
the price cost % per bushel. Those desir-

is CREATING CONSERVATION.
Muskoqee Townsite Commission Has
Made New RuIino.


Made New Ruling.
Muskogee. I. T.. July 1S.-The Muskogee
townsite commission has made a ruling
which is creating CONSERVATION in the
ranks Of the holders of large tracts of I'M
improved land within the city limits.
The Greek treaty recently proclaimed by
the president provides that under certain
circumstances the occupants of lands in
any town Of the Creek nation could hold
as much as four acres in one tract and
receive a deed to the same by paying
the Creek nation one-nalf of the ap-
praised value of the land, and that all I'M
improved city held by any person in ex-
cess of four acres should be sold at pub
lie auction to the highest bidder at not
less than its appraised value.
Immediately after the signing Of the
agreement at Washington. on March s,
1900, the holders Of large tracts Of unim-
proved city property began transferring
their unimproved lands. in tracts of four
acres, to different individuals, in the
hopes of being able to get deed TO the
property for one-haIf Of its appraised
value The townsite commission, how
ever, holds that the four-acre clause re-
fers only to tracts which were so held on
the date Of the signing OF the treaty.
March s. 1900. and that all transfers Of
such tracts made since that date are of no
avail.
The RULING will be of vast benefit TO
the towns of the Creek nation in that il
viii cause large numbers of vacant lots
to be sold to the highest bidder, which
might otherwise have been taken by the
holders at one-haf their appraised value
and then placed on the market at an in
