Thinks Moon Bill VIII Pass.

The people of the Indian Terri
tory look for the passage of the
Moon bill and the early admis-
sion of this territory and Okla
homa as one state" said r. M.
Ryan, a newspaper man of Musk
ogee, at the Hotel Baltimore last
night. "We do not now believe
that the Senate will pass the ON
nibus statehood bill andthe favor
ite outlook for the enactment of
the Moon Bill into law is exceed
ingly gratifying to our people.
"The Indian Territory will soon
have a second Hot Springs.
Within the past week the gov
ernment has closed a, deal for the
purchase of Davis and Sulphur
Springs. The 1,4S5 acres in
cluded in the purchase are to be
formed into a government reser-
walton like Hot Springs, Ark.
Plans for the purchase were made
upon the recommendation of G..
H. Taft, United States geologist,
and an inspector sent out from
the Interior department, who
submitted a report to James Blk
by, the chairman of the Dawes
commission. The springs have
great deposits of sulphur and the
resort, when improved, is sure to
become a popular one."
