Opening Of Kiowa-Comanche
Country Not 70 BE Delayed.
Not Probable That Indians VIII
Make Trouble.
WITHOUT FOUNDATION
RumOr May Have Been Started
by Cattle Men.
Gould on a New DealWith Penn
sylVania Lines.

The reports printed a day or two ago,
in which it was alleged that the open
ing Of the new Indian country was to be
delayed, are not believed by those best
situated to understand such matters.
In the press dispatches it was stated
that Lone Wolf, an Indian chief, had
made threats that the country should
not be opened to the whites at the ex-
pected time. If this Indian chief be cor
rectly represented, it is probable that
he has made statement which he
viii not be able to sustain For it is
not likely that the United States gov
eminent has endeavOred to hasten mat
ters any by a violation of an Indian
treaty. The authorities in Washington
and the great numbers of white set
tiers who have been in the Kiowa-
COmanche country for years are to be
credited with better judgment than
any such charge would justify. Fur
thern ore, a prominent attorney has ex-
pressed it as his opinion that it would
be impossible for the Indians to secure
any means whereby the government
could be restrained from opening the
lands to settlement.
But on the other hand no faith is
placed in the genuineness of the re-
port regarding Lone Wolf. Rather it
is believed that this story has been
started without any foundation what
ever more than the great cattle kings
could give it. These cattle men are
almost vitality interested IN the opening
of this new territory. By it they are
to be deprived of thousands OF acres of
the best range country in the world,
which heretofore has been used by them
for grazing purposes with little or no
expense Hence it is not surprising
that the news of allotment and finally
occupancy by the whites is not a mat
ter of great rejoicing to them. Thus it
happens whether true or not that the
stock men are getting the credit for
the rumor printed in Wednesdays
papers regarding a probable delay of
from one to three or more years.
The work Of preparing for the open
ing this summer is going on the same
as ever, according to latest reports.
The corps of Rock Island surveyors
which has been at work making the
re-survey of the lands at last reports
was expected to finish its task some
where near the first of June, after
which the other preliminaries for the
opening were to be cleared UP within
the next two months This event is
being watched by a great many peo-
pie over the country. and especially
here in Kansas. To such the announce
ment that there is not likely to be any
delay in throwing open these lands is
welcome as following the report Of
DELAY started a few DAYS ago.
