PLAN OF ALLOTMENT.

Some citizens are puzzled about
how an equal allotment of the
lands of the Cherokee natior. can
be brought about. This has seen
really serious problem, but the
di fiji Guilty has been TO satisfy the
many conflicting interests that
constantly clamor for recognition.
When the roll of citizens is finally
completed, and when no more
names are to be added, the first
step toward allotment will have
been taken. The question of who
are TO share in the division must
be definitely determined, then the
method of division would prob
erly engage our attention. The
area of the lands of the Cher
okee nation is immaterial, only as
to the time it may require to ap-
praise the same. No division by
acreage will be fair, and so the
number of acres to be divided is
of secondary consideration. To
arrive at a fair and equitable valu-
alton OF every acre would be an
endless task, though that would
be the way TO secure an exactly
equal allotment. Indeed TO even
The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1901-06-03

approximate an equal division
will be a task that it will take
years to accomplish.
When the roll is complete and
the lands have all been appraised
the TWO most important prelimin-
airy steps have been taken toward
allotment. Then to determine
the value of an individual
share would be The next
step. To do this it will be neces-
sary TO find The value of the lands
OF the nation outside of townsites,
which will necessarily have to be
reserved from the general allot-
ment.
The number of those who are
entitled to share in the allotment
should constitute the divisor, and
the value in dollars and cents, OF
the whole domain to be allotted,
should be the dividend, and the
auotient would then be an allot-
ment. If standard allotment be
81 ,000,then every one should have
81 ,0C0 worth of land. The amount
of land allotted to any one should
be governed entirely by its value.
The allottee who selects firstclass,
highpriced land would get fewer
acres than the one who selects a
cheaper grade. When the allot-
ment is finished there should be
no surplus land left for subse.
quent division-all should be al
lotted at once. A perfect title,
guaranteed against all incum-
brances, and claims, either tribal
or otherwise, should be given to
every adult citizen without stipu-
lation, and the title to allotments
of minors should be withheld un-
til they reach their majority, then
the same kind of title should be
given them. Whatsoever is real
lied from the sale of townsites,
public buildings and other reser-
vations, if any, should be added
to the invested funds and paid to
the Cherokee people in an equal
per capita distribution.

A few days ago manufacturing
concern proposed to come to Vini-
ia provided bonus of several
hundred dollars would be raised
by the citizens of the place. The
cash was not forthcoming and the
concern will perhaps 60 elsewhere.
This, In the opinion of the Chief
tain, was the proper action on the
part of Vinita. We are opposed
to giving bonuses. If the field is
a good one il will eventually be
occupied without paying some one
to occupy it. The men who are in
business here have struggled up
through competition. The con-
test for existence has been hot
enough, and If there are favors to
be granted it should be to those
whose indus.ry and enterprise
have made this good town. We
want new people and more capital
and more labor, but every man
must stand upon his own re-
sources. Vinita has no bonuses to
offer but she has boundless field
of unexcelled opportunity for cap
ital and energy.

AS an example of ignorance or
perhaps worse, the Washington
correspondent of the Kansas City
Times takes the cake. The rot
printed in Sundays paper is with
out excuse. 1t can hardly be
classed as misleading, for every
one who has kept up with Chero-
kee affairs knows that it has no
foundation in fact.

No wrong was ever made right
by the people voting for it. If
the recently defeated Cherokee
treaty had been ratified by a ma
jority of the Cherokee people ,vot-
ing for it it would have still been
outrageously wrong. Some news
papers, in and out the Cherokee
country, keep harping about the
Cherokee people having made a
mistake when they refused by
their votes to ratify the recent
treaty. Such assertions are with
out wisdom and assume that the
Cherokees don't know their own
business.

PLANT MORE TREES.
SECTIONS where Timber Is Scarce
suffer More from Drought Than
Wooded Regions.

More even distribution OF the for
est growth over farming sections is
needed, for as it now is the forest
growth in mountains and other sec
tions is unfit for agricultural pur-
poses The sections best adapted to
farming are largely void of trees. In
time of drought the sections which
suffer most severely are those where
timber is most scarce. Southern In
diana, which has been cleared too
much, years ago when there was still
much timber standing, produced far
better crops than now. Rains were
then much better distributed through
the growing season and showers were
frequent and mild. but now rain too
often falls in heavy, sudden down
pours, often doing damage to growing
crops. These severe rains are usual
ly followed by hard winds that soon
dry the moisture from the land in
the growing season, and in winter
the wind having uninterrupted sweep
drifts the snow in great banks along
fences and leaves wheat fields bare.
We cannot undo the harm done by
too. excessive clearing, but one can
improve matters by planting trees in
shelter belts on the south and west
sides of our farms. For a perpetual
wind-break. the Norway spruce un-
doubtedly leads. A good shelter belt
should contain four rows of spruce,
ten feet between rows and trees five
feet apart in the rows, and the trees
placed so as to break the spaces be-
tween rows. Spruce seedlings can be
got from nurseries when about ten
inches high for about three dollars per
hundred. Be very careful in moving
evergreens not to let the roots get
dry, as this means certain death to
the tree. Robert Killins, in Farm
and Home.

ry the water anywhere needed. The
sketch shows the arrangement of the
system.
About six or seven years ago, during
very dry spell, the water in the
reservoir became very low and the
old ram afforded us considerable an
noyance on account of there being
only one stroke. which necessitated as
much supply water at one time as an
other. therefore we had to keep the
ram turned off until the water was
needed in some of the buildings.
About that time at the county fair,
happened to see another hydraulic ram
which looked so simple, and having a
governor to regulate the strokes in
pumping, which means everything
when the reservoir is getting low, that
] purchased one and placed it in posi-.
tion and have had no trouble since.
On one occasion in particular its USE
fulness was very prominent. A fire
originated IN the bottle department
OF my dairy, between. the inner and
outer sidings. which was impossible to
reach without the use of thrown
stream. but by breaking little of the
outer siding and inserting the nozzle
of the hose the fire was overcome in a
very short time. thus saving every
building on the place, which otherwise
would have surely burned.-T. w.

Deep Planting Of Trees.

1t is the general experience that
deep planting is harmful and con-
trary to nature. Trees that are
planted deeper than they stood in
the nursery row will make vigorous
growth for few years, as the wood
covered will send out roots. but the
old roots make no growth, finally de-
cay, and sometimes cause the whole
tree to die. We consider it very i'm
portant that trees should not be
planted deeper than they stood in the
nursery row. In planting straight
sticks, by the Springfellow method,
with the lateral roots all taken of,
the trees may be set several inches
deeper than they stood in the nur-
serge. A. Atwood, in Farmers
Voice.

but has at last reached the end of his

discovered mixture which will make
whole villages of prairie dogs fight foI

bring disaster in the end. 1t is believed

PROF. BAKERS IDEAS.
Soted Civil EnEineer Explodes some
Of the Fallacious Arguments of
Good Roads Advocates.

The Technograph, published at the
University OF Illinois, has an article
by Prof. l. o. Baker, a civil engineer,
on "Fallacies of Good Road Econom-
ics," in which he alleges that "falla-
cious arguments" are sometimes used
in behalf of good roads. II is often
said, for example, that horse in Eu-
rope does twice as much work as one
in America and that bad roads there
fore costs the American farmer the
cost of feeding one-half of the horses
plus the interest on their value. But
the premise is mere guess, and the
argument assumes that all horses are
on the road all the time. which is a
great error. The farmer, moreover,
needs more horses to raise his crops
than to haul them to market
1t is often estimated that the saving
per horse due to improved roads is
from SIS to S25 per year. This sum,
multiplied by the number of horses
given in the last census report, is put
down as the annual loss due to bad
roads. There is no evidence of the
actual loss. Possibly horse could
earn $25 more year on a good road
than on bad one, though farmers
assert that horses are damaged fully
this much by being driven on stone
roads. But in fact only small per-
centage of the horses of the country
are on the road all the time. 1t is not
at all clear that with better roads
farmers could keep fewer horses. The
hauling of crops to market is an incl
dent of the farmers work, not his
constant employment. AS respects
the conclusions of the United States
road inquiry Office, circular 10, the
professor thinks they rest on very
imperfect data. 1t is absurd to say,
he thinks. that the average cost of
hauling crops to the market is 25 cents
per ton per mile and that the cost
of marketing the crop is 26.6 per cent.
of its value. The real advantages Of
good roads are that they are more
comfortable and less expensive to use
during parts of the year; facilitate
rural mail delivery; enable children
to attend school with less difficulty;
add to the social opportunities of the
farmer. ''The fundamental. defect in
in the construction and maintenance
of American highways" says Prof.
Baker, is the lack of intelligent and
effective supervision. Baltimore Sun.

If to be driven two feet deep, dress
two sides in direct line from lower

shoulder to point, making one-inch
point. Then dress the edges from 12
to 1S inches. Edges may be rounded
from shoulder to point. A post dressed
more on one side than another, as

the fence line perfectly straight, u.s.
