CuriOsities Of a Boundary Line.

A special from Bristol, Tenn says:
The final ratification by Congress of

islalure, which fixes the Virginia
Tennessee boundary in the middle
of Main street in Bristol, places the
line in the center of the street car
track, which runs mile, directly
east and west, thrl ugh the city. This
peculiar situation, placing one rail o f
the car line in Tenne ssee and the
other i'll Virginia, brings about an
unusually unique state of affairs, the
like of which exists perhaps no.

Companies may travel through the
city on an electric car, and by sit

will make the trip in the State Of

When it is II O'Clock, noon, on the
north side of the car, it is only IL a.

course, to the State boundary being
the dividing line of two standard

legally by taking a position on the
south eide OF the car. But if one OF

stand on the north side of the car
while the marriage ceremony was

marriage would be at once disputed,
and the officiating minister would

ANENT THE TOWNS.
ToO-Qua-Stee DiIates Upon the In
justice of Townsite Clause
OF the Treaty.

Editor Chieitain-0f the 80
odd town sites in the Cherokee
nation let us take only eighteen of
the most distinguished, namely:
Tahlequah, Fort Gibson, Vinita,
Choteau, Pryor Greek, Adair, AZ
ton, Fairland, Chelsea, Claremore,
Catoosa, Oolagah, Nowata, Gen.
tralia, Welch, Grove, Salisaw
and Bartlesville. The surveyed
limits Of some Of these towns are
more than m lie square and some
are a triffe less Taking one mile
square, $40 acres, as the average
extent of each town site we have
(640xlS=1l520) eleven thousand
five hundred and twenty acres.
Taking the average town lot to be
$50 feet by lS0 feet, 1920 acres
will make 1885 lots. The most
desirable Of these lots will, in a
fair market, sell for more than o
thousond dollars, while there are
but few Of these so undesirable as
to sell for less than two hundred
dollars. Assuming $500 as an av.
erago price per lot 1885 lots will
amount to $3.50 500.
Now according to the agreement
all these 1920 acres ofreal estate,
valued at s5, SIS, 800 is to 60 into
the hands Of a few select persons.
Outsiders as well as members of
the tribe at half price; that is to
say, the Cherokee people, in addi.
lion to scrimping Of their own
allotment by the aggregate amount
OF ll52O acres for the benefit of
these persons, are to make a pres
ent to them of one half Of s5. .575..
500, to.wit, s2,7S7,75O.
But this lie not all; by the terms
OF the same agreement, these
favored town people are to be re
imbursed TO the amount Of all they
ever paid the nation for their oc
cupant title. Now placing the av.
erage price paid for these lots at
the low figure Of so apiece, (and
even at that it is by no means Ger.
tain that one-half The proceeds
ever reached the Cherokee treas.
uryO we have an aggregate of
town lot purchase money amount
ing to sl85,S50. This reimburse.
ment added to the princely pres.
ent above set forth Cs2,787, $50.
=sl85, ,S50,) we have the magniii
cent sum Of 80. .973, 800.
Now it is not maintained that
these figures are in all respects, in
exact accord with fact; thorough
investigation might possibly show
them little too large or some
what too small, but that the meth.
cd Of calculation is perfectly jus
tihed by the provisions of the
agreement, and that these figures,
as mathematical results, are en-.
tirely within the range OF possibil.
iiy there can be no question at all.
The point that we make here is
this: Any agreement or arrange
ment that would propose TO make
feasible such an enormous piece OF
robbery upon a helpless people
Ike the Cherokees is abhorent to
the moral sense Of humanity and
should be reTudiated by every
honest man without regard 10 con-
quences.
