THE AUCTION OF TowNsIrEs.
Non Citizens Bitterly Opposed to the
Chickasaw- Choctaw Agreement Re-
Gently Sent to Congress.

Ardmore, I. T., April 9.-Hundreds
of non-citizens in the new towns that
were set aside by the secretary of
the interior under the act of May
81, 1900, are bitterly opposing the
Chickasaw-Choctaw supplementary
agreement recently sent to congress
because of the provision which pro-
vides for the sale of townsites at
public auction. No legislation in
years has startled the people SO
much as the treaty, which, if passed,
will affect thousands who have
bought the right of possession in
these towns and erected permanent
improvements thereon with view of
purchasing the lot at appraised
value. The new treaty gives the own
er of improvements no priority Of
rights.

VICTORY FOR KANSAS.
United States Supreme Court OVerrules
COIOradO's Demurrer In the Arkansas
River Irrigation Case.

. Washington, April s.-The United
States supreme court, in an opinion
delivered by Chief Justice Fuller Mon
day, overruled the demurrer of the
state of Colorado in the case of the
state of Kansas versus the state of
Colorado. The case involves the right
of Colorado to approprite for pur-
poses of irrigation the waters of the
Arkansas river which Kansas sought
by an original action to restrain o
the ground that the stream flows
through Kansas and the people of the
latter state are injured by Colorado's
appropriation of the water. Colo
RADIO contested the jurisdiction of the
court in the case and filed demur-
rer. The chief justice said that the
case is one in which the court can
properly assume jurisdiction. He
said also that the action of the court
in overruling the demurrer was in
tended to be without prejudice, but
was taken because the Importance of
the case is such that it should not
be decided without full proof on the
questions set up in the allegations of
damage made by the state of Kansas.

By the Terms of the Bill Which
Passed the House All Chinese
Are Excluded.

DESPITE ALL LOSSES.
Production of Wheat Promises to
Equal Last Year.
Acreage Seeded Is 100000 in Excess OF
1FJ1-COndltIOn In Kansas IA, But
in Most Other states 1t
Is IDEAL

Chicago, April 8.-American farm.
ers seeded last fall 100000 acres
of winter wheat, an area 100000 in
excess of that which they reaped in
the summer. This greatplanting, fan
surprising any other in the history
of American farming, will offset the
damage done to the wheat crop by
the long drought of the fall and win
ter, and careful inquiry in the wheat
producing states gives reason to be
ieve that the crop of this year will
be as large as, if not a trife larger
than the record-breal1ing crop of last
year, despite all the losses that have
been suffered. A painstaking survey
OF the present wheat situation indi
Gates that nature has made amends
in these last four weeks for the ear
Tier drought, and that the imperiled
wheat prospects are, to a great ex.
tent, restored.
The Kansas wheat condition is es.
timated at "A per cent, against los
in April last year. The area was
originally increased IL per cent, t.
5,ss3,OOO acres, but Is per cent. has
been plowed up, SO that the area is
4,S25,Oo0 acres against 5,250,0O0 last
year. The prospect is for yield
of about 65,OOO,OOO bushels. The con-
dition of the whole Pacific coast,
however, is ideal, and Missouri, Hi
nois and Nebraska all promise high
yields. Missouri's acreage has in
creased by 100000 acres. In Missouri
the wheat condition is 90 per cent,
and the area is estimated at 81 per
cent. larger than last year, or 2,44g,-
600 acres, against 1,63s,OOO acres in
1901.
