INSURANCE ECONFlSCATORY
At AIva According to the Courier of
That City.

Guthrie, q. IT,, teD. Sine protest
against exorbitant insurance rates in
| Oklahoma is gathering force This week
the editor of the Alva Courier adds his
testimony, saying: A few Of the news
papers OF the territory are beginning a
fight against the high insurance rates in
the territory as compared with the rates
in adjoining states. And why not? The
rate in Alva is simply extortionate. Alva
has paid enough insurance to rebuild her
self if destroyed by fire. The rate on the
south side of the square has been tre0led
within the past year The rate now be-
ing Der cent. This means that he n
sured must give up one-twelfth Of his en-
tire property for insurance each year
This means that in twelve years ne must
part with his entire property in consider
alton of the fact that he was insured for
that length of time. A man cannot exist
as a business man long unless he can re-
ceive certain per cent profit on mis- in
vestment Sometimes he can borrow
money at per cent and make en- his
borrowed capital But ne must make on
every investment or he is doomed. A
profit Of 10 to % per cent on every invest
ment in the west is expected. Taxes will
approximate per cent. Money invested
is worth 6 per cent at the very least. It
is worth that much to Withdraw from the
investment and place in other fields Now
at the rate Of insurance at per cent or
over in some cases you can readily see
what it costs a man TO DO business here
This totals % per cent Of the capital in
vested approximately one-hfth of all
your property Ia other words you have
to clear 20 per cent on your investment
before you break even. or, realize II
universal 6 per cent. It is said that only
insured property ever burns. If SO Why
not take less insurance and hire a greater
number Of night watchmen and pay them
better wages.
This would at least leave hundre is of
dollars mt home This matter deserves
the attention of our citizens. These con-
tinual high rates compel our merchants
and business men to charge higher
price for goods or services than they
I otherwise would 1t has a tendency 10
prevent enterprises from locating in our

fosters sort of local monopoly.
And in the long run and in every. case

KAW LANDS TO BE LEASED
By the Indian Commissioners in
Washington Next Month

Guthrie, o. T., Feb. 9.-Sealed proposals
for leasing the surplus tribal lands Of the
Kansas (Kaw) reservation, Oklahoma.
viii be received at the office of the COM
missioner of Indian affairs, Washington,
.. c., until ? o'clock p. M, Tuesday,
March u, 1901, and will be opened that
day in the presence of the bidders A
circular just issued by w. A. Jones, COM
missioner of Indian affairs, states the
conditions under which these lands may
be leased.
The lands are divided into fourteen
parcels Of from 800 to 10000 acres each.
Bids must be made separately and a
minimum price has been fixed as follows:
First class pasture. 10 cents per acre per
annum; second class. 10 cents; third
class. Z II cents. No bids for a smaller
amount will be considered.
The lands are fenced with barbed wire.
so as to exclude Indian holdings. These
fences must remain and be kept in good
repair by the lessees. Fences and other
improvements placed upon the lands by
the lessees will divert to the Indians at
the end of the lease. Care should be TAX
en- in bidding TO describe correctly the
lands desired, as an improper description
may result in the rejection of a bid.
Rents viii be paid in two equal semi
annual installments in advance, and
Iessees will be required to give security
equal to the deferred payments. Every
thing being satisfactory, it is proposed TO
award the lands to the highest bidder,
subject to approval of the secretary of
the interior.
IN addition to this there are S19;g34 acres
of lands in the Usage reservation subject
to lease for a term of three years, dating
from April l. 1901. These lands are di-
vided off and fenced into $50 acre pas
lures, containing variously from $50 to
1900 acres. The prices are the same as
in the Kaw lands Bids will not be re-
ceived after March /
Each proposal must be accompanied by
certified check for at least 10 per cent
of the amount. This check will be for
feited to the Indians in case any bidder
receiving an award shall fail to enter
into the prescribed lease for the tract bid
upon. Otherwise it will be returned to the
bidder.

in the program arranged by the statehood
boosters It viii be remembered that the
Clarke avens crowd of sman-state
boosters grew very funny in discussing
the South AIcAlester convention and that
they insisted that it was a failure because
the attendance was not as large as the
call provided for Now that they have
held a convention IN the capital city Of
the territory with a stil smaller atten-
dance they should be fair enough to adj
nit that the single statehood fellows
have the best Of 1t. OF those who were
in attendance at the Guthrie convention
a respectable minority was strong enough
TO compel the adoption of a resolution
endorsing single statehood in case con-
gress prefers 10 give Us that form. Lin
coin county, the second largest in the
territory, did not send a delegate TO the
convention, and did not even hold a
county convention as provided for in the
call by Sidney Clarke. All OF these facts
and many more point Enthusiastically to
the conclusion that the people of Okla
homa are learning TO distinguish between
an oratoricaI contest and a genuine state
hood convention where the interests OF
Oklahoma are considered paramount 10
the aspirations Of q few WORKOUT poll
ucians. There are, Of course, some who
would rather be big men in a little state
than TO be little men in a big state, but
the majority of the people are expansion
lists and not contractionists. The farmers
who pay the taxes count the plumbers Of
these small-bore, would-be statesmen are
in a large measure immune against the
statehood itch. They want a big state,
and are willing, if necessary. to wait for
one. The advocates Of a Greater Okla
homa' are growing in number"

the roll book in its consecutive order
on the tract book in the consecutive order
Of the tract thereon. Or, if in another
division there are 2.GG0 tracts of land and
1890 applicants, then put every seventh
applicant on the tract book. In the first
example there would be $50 applicants
that would not get their proportion of
the allotment of the lands. In the sec
ond example there would be tracts Of
land unallotted for the number Of 200
persons, or 100 tracts of land. Allot the
surplus tracts TO the surplus applicants
in all the divisions at their own ration
in the total surplusage, beginning with
division No. J. A few tracts Of land
might be left unallotted, or a few per
sons might not get their proportional
chance for allotment
Just as soon as the lists could be made
out after the application time was clos
cd, publish the name, postohce address
and the tract Of land with each successful
applicant, and allow them thirty days
or more in which to make settlement on
the land or to file at the regular land
Office. or make application if land Office
was rushed At the end Of the specified
time all the lands not settled upon or
application made TO file upon by the
original successful applicant or any quai-
flied entryman to whom he may have
relnguished or assigned his number. to
be subject TO entry or settlement in the
ordinary way. Any assignment or re-
linsuishment Of any original certificate
of number to be valid only when made
before the local land Office or some officer
with a seal empowered to take acknow-
ledgments.
BY this plan, intending settlers could
in a. general way select the general re-
gion they desired to settle in, by enrolling
in the division that nearest suited them.
Allowing one assignment Of the appli-
cant's number certificate would permit
friends and neighbours who were scattered
in the allotting to exchange with others
and perhaps secure locations as desirable
by communities. Persons who failed to
secure an allotment could at once turn
their means and attention to the pur-
chase Of an allotment without the dan
ger Of buying an endless contest Make
any fraud by applicants in enrolling
perpetual bar to any rights to lands in
the reservation.
As soon as the enrolling closed, the en-
nouncement of the total enrolment and
the number of tracts in each division
would enable every applicant with a few
minutes calculation TO ten whether or
rot he had secured an allotment; except
for the few that might be in the minor
fractions at the unit Of division at the
end Of the rolls, who would have to wait
tin the report from the general land
Office. BY this plan only a few tracts
Of land would be unalloued or very few
persons fail TO have a proportional share
in The allotment. Respectfully submit

..The Eleventh Hour. !"

Lincoln J. Carter's latest pro-
duction, "The Eleventh Hour, I"
will be presented at the Park
opera house on Saturday, March
l6.> This. play has made a more
emphatic hit than anything this
gifted authof has heretofore pre-
ssntsd. "The Eleventh Hour" is
unlike any of Nj. Csrter's former
productions, for, while it abounds
with his humorous comedy it is
full Of heart interest and has a
vein Of pathos that makes it
doubly interesting. It is q
comedy -drama pure and simple,
dealing with characters that we
come in daily contact with-a
story beautiful in it, simplicity.
