The Oklahoma Opening.

"Boomers" and "soOners" in
great number are lined up On the
Oklahoma border, ready to make
rush into the Kiowa, Uomanehe
Wichita Indian reservations in
Southern Oklahoma, which are
soon to be thrown open to white
settlers. Many of these eager
people are provided with fast
horses in order that they may out
strip the less fortunate and get an
advantage in the grab for land.
Secretary of the Interior Hitch.
cock, however, is determined, if it
be possible, to prevent a brutal
scramble such as occurred when
the "Cherokee strip" was opened,
and it is said that he has devised
plan by which all who seek TO
occupy the coveted lands may
have a fair chance in establishing
their claims. His plan is to re-
quire everyone who wishes to be-
come a bona fide settler to go 20
the nearest government land office
and identify himself and prove
his right to make claim as set
tier. When this is done he will
be given chance in q drawing,
by which the distribution of
homesteads may be equitably
made. The tickets in the draw
ing will be numbered, the choice
of location being allowed in ac.
cordance with the numbers drawn.
This is a better plan than the
scramble plan, and, if the claims
are located and assignee on the
map before the opening of the
territory, matters will be expedi.
ted in a manner which will avoid
much of the imposition and injus'
tice that have characterized the
former misunderstanding Banner

Chancellor Hawkin s.

In reference to the above named
well known gentleman, the Car.
roll County Democrat very prop
erly says;
"Chancellor A. G.. Hawkins, of
this place, will be candidate for
reelection 20 the chancellorship
of this division and, we under.
stand, will soon formally announce
himself through the papers OF the
district. This district was consid-
erably enlarged by the legislature

the following counties: Henry,
Carroll, Henderson, Madison, De-
catur, Hardemau, Chester, McNai.

Perry, which is an addition of
four counties. This makes the
district a very large one, and the

posed OF so many counties and OF
the amount Of litigation that will
naturally accrue, and do il to, in
such a way that litigants will not

q chancellor of ability and much
experience. Chancellor Hawkins
has The ability in a marked deg

llcient Of this fact and has had
Sufficient experience to justify the
belief that he will dispatch the in

with much more satisfaction than
could a chancellor with less eXpe.
rience.
Chancellor Hawkins has made
d splendid record for fairness and
courteous treatment of the bar as
well as the litigants, and his de-
pertinent, when on the bench, as
we'll as off Of it, has been that
which should characterize the life
of a man holding so important a
