Dawes Commission is Doing

LEAVES WORK UNDONE
Cherokee and Creek Nation
Take Their Time,
LEAVES WORK UNDONE

Atoka, L T., July 2s.-In speaking Of
the Dawes commission work in alIoting
in the Choctaw and Chickasaw nation.
w H. Harrison. Choctaw land appraiser,
with the commission. says:
1T seems to me that the Dawes com
mission is doing everything in their pow
er wind up the allotment Of the lands
in the Creek and Cherokee nations. let
ting the auotment/of our lands severely
alone. They haveftransferred all the land
appraisers TO the Creek and Cherokee ma
tons and finished the work before finish
ing the apprajsement of our land, leaving
six camps Of timber estimatoTs to ap-
praise and estimate about seventy-si six
townships Of land and timber, which viii
be finished about September ]. They have
also transferred all the subdivision camps
to the Cherokee and Creek nations leav-
ing the subdivision Of our lands alone and
10 protests have ever been made by our
chief executive that have ever heard OF.
'.The subdivision Of our land is just as
necessary to an early allotment of our
lands as It is TO the Cherokees and
Creeks. Why let them transfer their sub
division camps from the Cnoctaw and
Chickasaw nation before finishing the
work here and without a single protest?
Our chief executive may not be aware Of
these facts, but such is the case. Our
people want their lands allotted to them
as soon as practicable and not so much
ouibbling of technical law points by the
nations attorneys The people want to
know further what the nations attorneys
have done n regard to the fraudulent
citizenship cases. IF the allotment Of
lands does not commence soon we viii
not get through with the allotment be-
fore our eight years OF tribal govern
nent expires Then where viii we be?
Or has the United States government
promised us more time in which to wind
up our business? This delay IS ruinous to
our people and country; let Us have al
lotment now, this year, not next year,
and colse our rolls"

LEGAL TANGLE

SAD RESULT
Wealthy Men Don't Want

Earthly Good.
POOR INDIANS SUFFER

Durant, 7. T, July 26.-Choctaw ofnclals
speaking Of the -Chickasaw rolls
and allotment today said:
There are a great many men of wealth
in the two nations who vii loppose
the closing of the rolls just as long as
possible, and stand in the way Of al
lotment as long as there is a foot Of
ground for them to stand on. These men
own thousands Of acres that are under
their fences ana their control and from
which they derive revenues from leases,
which they cannot do once the lands are
segregated and allotted.
This Is, in a measure. working a hard
snip upon the poorer classes of Indians
who have no such resource sond no such
means OF making money at the present
time. 1t is from this element that there
VIII always come opposition to any date
being set for the closing OF the rolls,
and it is nay firm belief tina tit win be

ing the rools and getting everything
ready for allotment Of Indian lands.
ing in the way Of an amicable settlement
OF land titles in the Choctaw and Chick
Rsaw country. Many OF the Indians have
Rignifed their intention OF claiming Ger
tain tracts and parcels Of land as their
allotment, and have sold their interest
in such lands, giving a quit claim deed
10 the property, and have then moved
off Of that tract of land and settled else
where, where they claim a right TO take
their allotment OF course, they viii
not be permitted to take two alotments
and in most cases the bonds for title are
not good. and a quit claim deed is worth
less. This is going TO cause a great deal
of legal wrangling and law suits after
the Indians get their titles to lands, and
although a certain portion OF the lands to
be allotted 10 the Indians are held in
treaties to be inalienable. at the same
time there win be some recourse on those
woh make fraudulent sales Of allotment
claims and then move off and DO not ac-
cept allotments on the lands they have
sold to the white men. These frauds VIII
not stand in the courts, and in my opin-
ion, is going to cause endless litigation
buying lands. and they are able to take
or, at least. years Of land litigation that
There are some big moneyed syndicates

the highest courts Of the land, and it is
my opinion that there is trouble ahead
for the Indian who makes a fraudulent
sale Of land title"

Oklahoma City Firms VIII Not Leave

OklanOma City rms VIII NOT Leave

Oklahoma City, O. T., July 26.-There
have been a number of pessimistic state

country was opened that there would be
a number Of the leading firms of this
city that would pack up their goods and
move them TO some one of the new towns
that would be established Three of the
leading wholesale establishments here
We're interviewed ais morning and asked
If any Of their customers were going
TO remove to the new country. In every
instance the firms replied that they not
know of anyone that was going to quit
business here and that would leave for
the towns in the Kiowa country, but on
the contrary they received applications
every day from good firms from other
parts Of the country for buildings here
in which TO establish themselves in bus
mess.
The wholesale houses ~ having
number OF inquiries from firms from
other parts of the country that win To-
cate in the new towns. but none from
this city. They expect TO do a large
wholesale business in outdtting the new
stores there and that every merchant
that VIII locate there seems to have
the idea that this city is the one where
they win make their wholesale center af-
ter they are located. Their viii be no

"a stock company is forming" says
a promoter quoted by the Philadelphia
Record. "for the manufacture, and dis
tribution of artificial milk on vast
scale. Our chemists tell us that the ar
ticle IS just as nutritious as the best
cows milk, and we are experimenting
with it on babies and Sickly persons
with most gratifying results in the way
of increase of weight and so on. and
we shall embody the details of these
experiments with before and after pic
lures in the prospectuses that we are
already getting out. The little factory
where we are now making our milk is
in a wooded hollow back of Valley
Forge. 1t is 8 most cleanly plant. The
water, fat, albumen. casein and sugar
which we use for bases are all of the
finest quality. Our gases-carbonic
acid, oxygen. nitrogen and sulphuret-
ted hydrogen-are filtered three times
in our patent gas filter before we use
them. Our kreotin. pepton and tyrosin
are soaked for "a hours in pure spring
water tanks. There are other constitu-
ents besides-I can't give their names
away-and they, too are washed with
the utmost care. Artificial milk is alto
