NOW II IS A FREIGHT JAN.
But Divided Among Halt Dozer
Railroad Towns.
GOODS PILED UP ANYWHERE,

FL Reno, Aug. 5.-The railroads oper-
ating in the vicinity of the Kiowa-Com-
anche country are now troubled with
freight jam. For three weeks they
were taxed to their utmost capacity to
handle their passenger traffic. For the
next month they will do tremendous
freight business. Homeseekers and
people who expect to engage in business
in the new country are all trying to get
their goods shipped in at once. The
passenger jam was at Ell Reno. The
freight jam will be at Chickasha, Rush
Springs, NARROW and Duncan for the
next ten days, and after that Richards,
the new town on the Lawton branch,
will be included in the list. The Rock
Island will get into Lawton about Sep
TENDER 1, and until that time all goods
will have to go via the towns mentioned
above All are 80 miles from Lawton,
except Richards, which is Is miles, but
the line has not been completed there
yet
At NARROW freight is stacked all over
ten-acre field and farmers are making
big money hauling it to the new coun-
try. The same condition exists at Rush
Springs and Duncan. AT Chickasha
the jam is with freight cars, but the
Rock Island will be able to handle it.
The freight jam extended even to Ell
Reno, and north bound passenger
train was laid out here seven hours on
account of freight trains being piled

No SHOW FOR SPECTATORS.
Drawers of Homesteads Cannot
Sell Their Property.
NO TITLE FOR FIVE YEARS.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Secretary Of
the Interior Hitchcock is very indig-
nant over the statement that the per-
sons who drew the first choices in the
Ell Reno and Lawton districts lands
were preparing to sell their claims to
the highest bidders, and that the Off
GERS of the general land Office would
not be able to enforce the provisions of
the homestead law against such trans
fers.
Secretary Hitchcock said that on pre-
vious occasions when lands were thrown
open for settlement, it may have been
possible that such transfers were
made, but that the introduction of the
new system of allotment and the care
that has been exercised on this occasion
in keeping the records would effective
ly prevent any such land juggling by
spectators.
He pointed out that, by the terms of
the homestead law, five years uust
elapse between the taking out of a title
by settler and the perfection of the
title and payment of the final fee. Dur
ing the interval the settler must live
upon the land and improve his property
and any transfer of his rights, before
the expiration of the five year limit
would invalidate the title to his claim.
1t would be absolutely impossible,
Mr.. Hitchcock says, for land spectators
and boomers to evade the law in
single instance at the present opening,
owing to the detailed accuracy of the
methods of registration and allotment.
