THE LEASING CLAUSE
Is Opposed by Chief Burlington Who
Was Mlsrepresented.

Chief T. NJ. Burlington, as every
body who takes an interest in, and
keeps posted rtgarding Cherokee
affairs knows, is and has been op.
posed to the leasing clause in the
treaty now pending at Washington.
In the last issue Of the Stillwell
Standard the statement, for some
inexplicable reason, WAS published
that Mr.. Burlington fayors the in
serlion or retention Of the clause
in the treaty
A marked copy Of The Standard
was sent to Washington and did
great injury to those who are fight
irg to have the unpopular and I'M
just provision eliminated.
To-day Chief Burlington received
a telegram from Hon. X. G. Adams
which asked. ''Is IL true that you
want lease provision in the Chero
kee ireaty2 am opposed to il.
Answer at once"

A Steady Advance in Quota
tiOnS Has Been Made
Since Election.
SHINGLES SCARCE.
Shortage of the Visible Supply is
the Cause Of the Increase in
Prices-Vinita Sells as Cheap
and in Some Instances Really
Cheaper than Other Towns.

The reference in the Daily Chief
tain TO the advance in the price Of
lumber was made with no intent
to infer that the two leading lum.
Der firms Of Vinita had combined
to take advantage of the great de-
mand now prevalent because of
the new structures now building
or contem plated.
The Browning Lumber Company
have sold lumber In many in.
stances in the past cheaper than
in surrounding towns. That is
they sold in respect to the stock
they had aud when a particular
kind of lum ber advanced because
of a temporary scarcity, they never
raised the price because they keep
their stocks we'll up.
Ever since the November cleo
tion lumber has been high. In
assortment the manufacturer is no
better of than the dealer in the
matter Of stock. Many items are
short aud some are totally out Of
stock. There Is a great shortage
at present in 1xS With nearly all
mills in the sections from which
Vinita draws its supply, while 1x6
is scarcely any better.
Against 300, 1000, 900 feet on hand
before election there is today not
over 180,0O0,000 feet. This will
probably be decreased during Feb.
ruary 10000, 900 to Is, 600, 900 feet.
The famine in shingles which
has existed ever Stree shortly after
the Galveston storm shows no
signs Of abatement.

CREEK UPRISING.
Judge Gill Tells Why the Federal
Troops Were Ordered.

Judge Gill keeps thoroughly
posted on the condition Of affairs
in the Greek nation and, regarding
the reported uprising said Mon.
day before the report Of the cap
ture Of Crazy Snake was received:
"The whole matter has been
greatly exaggerated in the press
reports sent abroad. Crazy Snake
has told the Indians that he has
authority from the government to
restore the old Creek laws, habits
and cusloms. Ia their ignorance
they have believed him-and his
sub.chiefs who are renegades.
Marshal Bennett could have ar.
rested the leaders but had he have
gone into that country with posse
Of deputies there certainly would
have been blOodshed. We ell be.
lieved that II government troops
were taken into the country 80
that the followers Of Crazy Snake
could see that they have been de-
ceived by their leaders, they would
disperse quietly and go TO their
homes. The leaders will certainly
be arrested and punished for what
ever violations Of tho Law They

MORE LIGHT
Was Being Prayed For When the
Electric Current Was Turned OFF.

While Evangelist Wolf was con-
duc,ing revival service at the Con-
gregational church Thursday night
and was deep in the fervor Of a
prayer to the Almighty to grant
sinners of Vinita more light, the
meeting was rudely interrupted.
Several young men quietly re.
tired to an ante.room and, locking
the audience in the church, turned
out the lights.
Saturday J.A.Nichols and Ralph
Vann were arrested by Marshal
Webb on a charge Of disturbing

It is almost certain that those
who favored the clause inspired
the publication in the Standard
and used the false assertion to
influence the legislation at Wash
ington.

Vinita can congratulate itself
upon the fact that il has a city
marshal who is able to quell any
sort Of disturbance that is likely
to arise, and that he has the
hearty support OF che better ele.
ment Of the town. The trouble
in some Of our neighboring towns
is that the city marshal is not
the kind Of man TO command the
respect Or keep the peace. But
back Of the efficient officer should
stand strong, enlightened and per-
sistent public sentiment. Every
community should esteem II a
duty to sustain lts officials In the
discharge OF duty.

According TO opinion Of those
who want a quick settlement Of
the allotment problem, the 'im-
provident" widows and orphans
should not complain if they are
compelled to take a poor piece Of
land. This idea of justice will
hardly commend itself to the fair
minded voter.

The Chsrokees are not blind to
the fact that nothing has been lost
in the delays in making treaty

cessions are now freely made that

splendid agreement cannot be
made vet.

Every new building that goes up

tial brick or stone material. Cheap
wooden buildings are a menace to

property.

Of Vinita and the Location
of Limit Lines is Being
Done So
THAT THE TRUE AREA
OF the Cherokee Domain Can Be
Asoertained Previous to Allot-
ment.-All Lots Left Outside
the New Lines Will Not Be
Appraised.

The work of the surveying corps
now in this city under the super
vision OF Civil Engineer j. f.
Fisher is being done under the
order Of the interior department
at Washington.
Under the town-site commission
ers who surveyed Muskogee, Wag-
oner and South McAlester, the
work cost $4,000, and to lay the
lines at Ardmore under the COM
missioners cost nearly as much.
Two.thirds of this sum was ex.
pended for commissioners salaries
and expenses while the balance
went to tbe surveyors who did the
work.
Secretary Hitchcock, when the
question Of paying the commits
sioners was called to his attention,
ruled that the commissioners had
nothing to do with tho surveying
and that their work of appraising
the value Of town lots would COM
mence only after the plats of all
towns had been made. The de-
partment then assumed charge Of
the work and through j. George
Wright sslected Mr.. II. V. Hinck.
ley as supervising engineer.
Mr. Hinokley has several parties
in the field, the corps under Mr..
Fisher being one of them.
The work is being rapidly pros.
ecuted upon the request of the
Dawes commission who desire to
ascertain exactly how many acres
there is to be allotted in the Chero-
kee nation. In order to gain this
knowledge they must know ex-
actly how large an area is to be
assigned to the towns.
Mr.. Fisher has his orders to run
his lines so as to congest the lines
as much as possible in order not
to leave out any great or expensive
improy
In order not to include unim-
proved properly, however, he
necessarily, according to his in.
structions, leaves out a number Of
residences now included in the
city limits. In every town where
any of Mr.. Hinckley's corps have
yet worked, the lines have included
a much less acreage than the town
limits.
He does not locate the limits OF
the towns. They can extend over
as great an area as the municipal
aulhorieties deem wise to annex.
Yet every parcel OF the land or
lots left outside the lines he is now
locating will be considered the do
main of the Cherokee nation, and
will be allotted by acreage with
the other farm lands.
In case lots are left out that
have been purchased from the ma
tion as town lots, neither Mr..
Fisher nor Mr.. Hinckley know
how the owner is to obtain redress.
1t is authoritative, however,
that only the land inside the lines
now being located by Mr.. Fisher
will be plated as the town lots OF
Vinita and appraised by the town
site commission appointed under
the provisions OF the Curtis law.
All holders of lots beyond those
limits will "simply take their
chances when allotment comes"
The work Of Mr.. Fishers corps
will not be completed until early
next week and the Chiehain will
then describe the location Of his
lines Already, however, we are
authorized to state that many resi-.
dences within the munipal limits
will be left outside the limits for
appraisement.

is the impatient boomer who
insists upon a hurried allotment
without appraisement. The gov
ernment should never be in too
big a hurry to do right. The only
fair allotment is to give every one
entitled, an equal share in land.
