I lished regarding the character of

and that provisions could not be

There are some fine lands in
these reservations. The dirt is of
sandy foundation, mostly what
is called the black sandy loan,
which is very productive and easi-
ly cultivated. Naturally it is fine
watered country. Creeks that run
all the time, springs, lakes, etc.
Mesquite grass covers the country
which makes fine pastures. One
could scarcely imagine that the
country is not improved at all.
You scarcely see foot of broken
land or a sign of settlement in all
this scope OF country. 'Tis just
as nature left it, except il is used
as pasture. We would travel all
day and never see house or crops
Of any kind.
The Comanche tribe of Indians
is supposed to be the most unciv-
filized of all the tribes. There is
no place where a person can get q
better insight into Indian life than
around Fort Sill. These Indians
still wear their blankets and cos
tunes, and live in the teepees as
they did when history was written
There is no sign of progress; the
squaw still carries the wood and
builds the fire; nature cleared the
ground. The sun does not get toe
hoa for the squaw's bare head
These Indians are not at all
pleased with the deal by which
they are losing their land. 1t can
easily be seen that they would re-
sist the white man taking posses
sion if they were strong enough.
Pardon me, Mr.. Editor. l did

THE GREAT DRAWING
How The Distribution Of Indian
Lands Was Made

count OF the opening to home
stead Of the Wichita, Kiowa, APP
ache and Comanche reservations
in the Indian Territory would be
interesting to the readers of the
Press,
The manner of opening up these
lands TO settlement 10y the Interior
Department OF our government
has proven entirely satisfactory to
those who sought homes in the
new country. Heretofore when
any OF the Indian lands have been
thrown open TO settlement it has
been done by race. The Presi-
dent setting forth a certain day in
his proclamation, and by the fir
ing OF a cannon at certain hour
the opening was declared and the
thousands OF home seekers who,
having gathered on the borders,
would make the run for the lands.
Besides being dangerous this me-
thod has never been satisfactory
Often two or more Boomers would
drive their stakes on the same
quarter section, each claiming,
perhaps honestly, too, that he was
the first man on the land. Many
contests have grown out of these
early openings, and the courts be-
ing slow TO decide some cases are
pending yet with two or more oc-
cupants on the same farm, each
claiming to be the rightful owner.
80 whsa Congress. late i'll It's last
session, passed the bill TO open
these last lands, the power was
given the president to formulate a
plan. IL was decided to do away
with the run" and TO draw for the
homes. Any one wishing to enter
the grand lottery to go to one OF
the land offices, leither at I'll Keno
or Lawton and register, taking an
oath that he or she was of certain
age, did not own more than l60
acres of land, etc Each person
who registered was given n certih-
cate allowing him to go upon the
land and acquaint himself with
the land, 80 as to enable him to in
telligen,ly select claim in case
he was successful in the drawing.
In the four reservations there were
besides the Indian allotments the
reserved pasture lands and the re-
served school lands, l3, Alb quarter
sections. There were registered
l57,0O applicants for these claims
The registering closed July 26,
and the drawing began July % at
FL Reno. The l67, 900 names were
placed in one wheel. and the num-
bers representing the l3, ,453 quar-
ter sections of land in another
wheel. The first name drawn from
the wheel was numbered No. | and
then number was drawn from
the wheel containing the land
numbers. The person drawing
No. | was given choice of all the
lands. the person drawing No ,
was given the second choice, and
30 on till the l3,473 tracts of land
we're gone. The persons drawing
the first l25 numbers were allowed
to file on Aug. Is; those drawing
the second l25 numbers on Aug
7, etc.
The roads leading to the land
offices for days before the drawing
took place we're full of wagons. 1t
would remind one of the train of
wagons that sped across the west
ern prairies during the gold ex-
oitement in California in 40; there
were wagons from Colorado, the
Dakotas, Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota
and in fact from everywhere, be-
sides those who came on the train
from every State in the Union.
Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, and
the Indian Territory furnished
most of the crowd.

New York, April 20.-The demand for

American cotton yarns steadier for

weak. Wooden and wcrsted yarns dull
and irregular. Linen yarns firm.
COTTON.
New York, April 20-The cotton mar
ket opened quiet and firm with prices
five to seven points higher on general
buying led by shorts and European eX-
ports. Trading level following the call
was six to eight points above last
nights closing, with sentiment bullish-
ly influenced by Strong Liverpool cables
smaller receipts South, less favorable
crop and weather reports, bad chron-
icle review of the week in the belt and
reports that demand for cotton goods
was improving. The English market
was expected to come liz points higher,
but few traders looked for net rise
of from liz to points in futures, and
a gain of 1-32d in spot cotton abroad
Private cables attributed the firmness
here to bad weather reports, the smaller
receipts and belief that summer month
manipulation would be attempted in
our market. Wall Street and several
export houses were supporters of the
July option; room traders sold eau
tiously for a reaction. Unseasonably
low temperature was the chief cause for
complaint. BY 80 o'clock the market
was off several points from the top
under profit taking and increased sell
ors for a sharp decline. Whereas early
trading was very slack, business stead
lily increased as prices worked their way
downward. The South, the West, and
some of.sthe more reliant bears sold on
the reaction.
The near months were bid upon the
last few minutes by shorts The new
crop months were neglected and sagg-
ed a point or two.
The market closed steady with prices
seven points higher to three points
lower.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, April 20-The week Of the
largest transactions in stocks In tho
history of the stock exchange closed with
the inevitable upward squirt of prices and
the natural pressure of liquidating sales
at the high level. The rapid upward
course of prices at the close yesterday
brought in the expected horde OF outside
buyers this morning and the profession lis
added their efforts to the excited demand
Of the outsiders to make opening prices
as high as possible. The result was some
wide spreads in prices and congested buy
ing orders in the favorite stocks notably
st. Paul and Union Pacific Specific eff
cial denials put out of the report of
projected combination of Northwestern
aud Union Pacific to offset the Burlington
deal, so the spectators substituted st,
Paul for the former and found ii just
as effective in attracting demand for
the stock. The manipulation in st. Paul
was very palpable and violent, but the
price was pushed determinedly upward
to 10 after having already crossed its
previous record price yesterday. The final
high price was made ia a vigorous effort
to rally the market from the decline into
which it had fallen as a result of tie
uuwieldy mass of realizing sales which
were thrown upon the market on the
opening bulge The effort was success
full in only few stocks and the under
tone at the close was distinctly easy and
showed some rather violent breaks in
recent speculative favorites. A survey Of
net results shows that the persisting
strength was confined to St. Paul. Union
and Southern Pacific. Missouri Pacific,
Texas and Pacific. the local fractions
and some of the minor stocks. The bank
