All last spring the real estate men had all

the incoming of people next fall. He said:
1T is my impression that within short
time people viii be coming back from
the new country and that they viii stop
in this part of the territory to see what
the opportunities are for investment and
to secure homes at a reasonable price.
This applies to the people who come out
from the east. Along in the fall the in
dications are that many people viii come
from the east 10 look over Oklahoma and
ascertain what property can be purchased
here. It is remarkable the prestige that
Oklahoma has as an agricultural state.
The immense wheat crop Of last year has
been advertised far and wide The big

be a big thing for the territory in the
way of advertisement and as result
many people viii want to come here TO

PATRICK HAS RESIGNED.
Sac ard Fox Agent Will Go Into Bust
ness at Chandler,


Guthrie, 0. T. Aug. 1.-THE announce
ment comes to Guthrie that Lee Patrick,
agent for the Sac and Fox Indians. has
fled his resignation with Secretary Ethan
Allen Hitchcock at Washington, the same
to take effect as soon as his successor can
be appointed. Mr. Patrick has been q
very efficient officer. He is loyal Re
publican at all times. His reason for
resigning his post is that he may locate
and embark in business at Chandler
Mr.. Patrick has his household furniture
all packed ready for removal from the
agency 10 Chandler. The Lincoln county
hub. He has purchased one OF the most
desirable residence locations IN that city,
is having the frame buildings removed
and VIII erect a modern and handsome
dwelling. His purchase comprises one
fourth of block Of ground.
The news of Mr.. Patrick's resignation
will come as a surprise TO his many
friends, politically and otherwise. 1t is
known, however, that he had intentions
OF resigning about eighteen months ago,
but while contemplating such move Ger
tain circumstances were made rejecting
or his administration at the agency and
he remained in the service until all such
criticism has been branded as unfounded.
He remained in the harness and now re-
tires with a fine record behind him.
The Sac and Fox agency is one Of the
best positions in the Indian service in
Oklahoma. if not in the entire United
States. There has been no mention as
10 Mr.. Patrick's successor.
This agency is located six miles south
OF Stroud, Lincoln county. The Indians
under its charge are the Sac and Fox,
the Iowa. the Kickapoo, the Absentee,
Shawnee and the Pottawatomie. They in
habit strip of country about fifteen
miles wide by one hundred and ten miles
in length located in Payne, Lincoln and
Pcttawatomie counties. their lands being
among the best in Oklahoma. The Sac
and Fox Indians have $500 600 to their
credit in the United States treasury and
draw the interest therefron semi-annual-
" and all the Indians under Agent Pat
rick's charge have large sums Of money
deposited to their credit. Thus this
post. as agent, is shown to be a very i'm
portant one.
