TO USE KAWs AS EXPERIMENT.
Usage People Endorse Roosevelt's
Idea of Indian Question.

Pakhuska, q. T., Jan. 15.-Concerning
the solving of the Indian question and
bringing the red man onto level with
the white man, the Usage Journal has
the following lines endorsing President
Roosevelt's idea:
President Roosevelt suggested this
week that the Kaw Indians be given
complete citizenship. That these Indians
be used as q test and if it proves all
right all other tribes of Indians shall
be allotted a division Of their monies
made and be put on same basis as other
people.
There is not a doubt in our mind but
that allotment to every Indian in the
United States would be the proper thing
TO have done. All tribes of Indians that
show a depleated exchequer up there at
Washington will not be long in getting
it either but the Osages, who have
heap money in Washington will have TO
go through the routine as did the Indians
of the Indian territory and when their
money is all gone they can get anything
from the department they want by
simply showing evidence TO the same and
without the use of a CRATER or useless
expenditure OF money. AS it now is if
the Indian wants anything done it re-
Quires money.

RESERVATIONS
WILL BE OPENED
SAYS JENSEN
P0nca and 0toe Indian Agent
Confers With Ferguson.
TO 60 TO WASHINGTON
VIII Make Recommendations
to Advocate New PoIicW

Gnthrie. o. T. Jan. 15-Major John Jen-
sen Of White Eagle, agent for the Ponca
and Otoe Indians was in the city today in
conference with Governor Ferguson and
other territorial officials. Major Jensen
is of the opinion that the Otoe and Ponca
reservations will be opened for settle
ment- He has been in correspondence
with the department at Washington in
regard TO the matter and is an advocate
Of the new policy" relative to Indian
affairs.
There are 5000 acres OF Otoe lands and
25,000 acres of Ponca lands in the reserva-
ton. 1t IS worth on an average OF s. per
acre. 1t is tribal lands and must be pur-
chased by the government from the IN
dams. Major Jensen win recommend that
each Indian be allowed his share Of the
derived from the sale OF the lands and
those who are capable Of doing business,
he allowed TO do such business as they
are capable OF, by the department of IN
dian affairs.
Theer are 250 allotments IN the reserva-
tons which are not claimed owing 20 the
fact that the allitees are dead. \ bill
has already been presented Ia congress
authorizing the sale of these allotments
anu lIllS VIII relleNe the situation 10 some
extent.
II the tribal land is sold, the Otoes will
have in round numbers 81 100000 as they
have some money in the treasury belong
ing TO them. There are in round numbers
900 Indians at the agency and the major
ity of these are Otoes. The Poncas have
some fine allotments and these lands are
easill worth S25 per acre.
1t is probable that Major Jensen will
take a party of Indians to Washington 10
appear before the department. It is his
idea 10 take some Of the younger Indians
in order that the department may under
stand what the Indian is becoming. as far
as education is concerned.
Major Jensen stands well with the de-
partment and his recommendations in
many matters are sought for before the
department takes definite action. He is
anxious for the department TO try the
New Indian policy 'on the people at this

DEPARTMENT MIsINFoRMED
Charges Made Against Muskogee
Firm are Proven False.

Muskogee, 7. T., Jan. 15-The interior
department has made serious objection
q circular issued by a firm of this city,
for the leasing Of Creek lands The fol-
lowing paragraphs from the Phoenix,
viii explain themselves:
The secretary Of the interior depart
ment on the 10th instant seems TO have
severely criticised a circular issued some
time since by the Indian Land and Trust
company OF Muskogee. stating that the
circular was misleading. An examina-
ton Of the circular by the Phoenix shows
that it was carelessly drawn and might
probably be criticised for that reason.
But in the same para graph that was so
severely condemned. the Creek agreement
was distinctly pointed out with the date
when it passed congress. as the source Of
authority both for lease and sale and this
company has been in the habit of furnish
ing copies Of the Creek agreement where
the parties desired 70 actually make a
lease Of land for AGRICULTURAL purposes.

Blackwell. Q. T.. Jan. 15.-The News
SAYS: H s. Gurley returned this morn
ing from Pond Creek where he went as
attorney for Jake Burch OF Tonkawa.
who prior TO the killing Of Jim Fails OF
Lamont by his partner, Jib Andrews. was
sued by Falls ana Andrews for 500 dam
ages for breech OF contract
IT seems that BUrch had contracted to

tract. whereupon they sued him and gar

the hands OF Dave Schonwsid. The kill

with interest.

has not, IN fact, sub-leased any land
whatever in the Creek Nation when the
criticism of the interior department was
made, although it was expecting 10 do so,
as everybody else is doing in the Creek
Nation.
The people OF 9Iuskogee who know
The gentlemen connected with the Indian
Land and Trust company are well aware
OF their high integrity and would not be-
lieve that they were capable of the mis-
representation OF anything TO anybody.
IT would appear that the interior de-
partTnent has been nnisinformed in some
way with regard to this matter. The best
attorneys IN the Indian territory think
that the citizens VINO holds title to his
land by an Uncontested certificate Of al
lotHent has a right under the Creek
agreement 10 immediate and unrestricted
possession of his land. and having & title.
can lease the land under section 81 OF
that agreement.
If it be true that an Indian citizen
cannot lease his lands for agricultural
purposes, then the immigration into the
Creek country must be stopped and the
towns in building until the Creek citizens
are allowed to cultivate their lands on
these agricultural contarts.
NO doubt the interior department is
annoyed by the numerous requests for in
AoTHauon, eAclIeu hy lne extensive cor
respondence conducted by different peo-
pie who are engaged in leasing and sub
leasing these lands. but that should be
taken in good nature and not used as a
causus belli.
Certainly the secretary must have
been in-advised in signing a letter of
such severity on so Slight a cause. 1t
is Of the highest Importance TO the Indian
territory, to every town in it and TO every
business man in it that this land should
be made TO produce as muchm corn and
wheat and cotton as possible. This is
best for the Indians and for the people
who are to inhabit this beautiful country,
and the policy OF the government should
be TO bring this about without friction
and for the best interests of ALL
