ing lie Kiowa, Comanohe and
Apache and the Wichita reserva.
lions open for settlement was
signed by Mr.. Mckinley at the
cabinet meeting today. II was
taken to the White house by Mr..
Hitchcock, secretary of the inter
ior. 1t came before the cabinet
merely as a routine departmental
matter, which was fully under
stood and which did not call for
any discussion. After tho oabi.
net had adjourned it was returned
to The interior department bv
Major o. L Pruden, the presi
dents assistant secretary, who de.
livered it to Judge Vandeventer,
the assistant attorney general ,
who has had charge of the legal
features Of the opening.
A copy Of it was sent this morn.
ing to the government printing
office, where it will be set up in
type. Proofs of it to be delivered d
to the newspapers will be run of.
The present plan Of the interior
department is to promulgate the
proclamation Monday. 1t was
signed by the president today, for
the reason that he will leave to.
morrow morning for Canton and
remain there until after the date
designated for the opening.
The interior department is com.
p!eling all preliminary prepara-
tions for the opening. Assistant
Commissioner Richards Of the
land Office will go TO Oklahoma at
once, He will be accompanied by
a force of twenty-five Of the most
efficient clerks in the land office,
who will be stationed at the nine
different land offices in the terri
tory. ltis expected that the large
forces will be at the ilices in
Guthrie and Perry, Ok. The ap.
pointment Of the two receivers and
two registers for the new Office at
Lawton and El Reno probably
will be announced Tuesday,
The interior department has de-
cided to take care Of the caltlemen.
1t was announced today that the
cattle from the Kiows country and
Wichita reservation, would be
taken to a tract OF pasture land
about 400 800 acres-and locate d
on the Texas border. The seore-
tary Of the interior decided that
this would be the best way cut Of
the difficulty, as under such an
arrangement there could not be
any hardship to the cattlemen.
The interior department had re.
ceiyed letters from Oklahoma stat.
ing that some Of the cSttlemen
had greatly exaggerated the num-
Der OF cattle they bold, and while
some have claimed that they own
thousands Of head, in reality they
do not own more than a few hun
dred head. 1t is also stated that
some Of the cattlemen within the
last week have brought a large
number of cattle into the Kiowa
country from Texas. These re
ports will be investigated by the
department.
