The slight opposition to the
pending allotment bill is not de.
veloping much strength among
Cherokees. The fact that it pro.
vides a efnite and reasonably fair
settlement is much in its favor.
The average Cherokee family, es.
pecially those living outside of the
towns, will hail with a glad vel.
come anything that secures them
in an individual title TO their
homes and farms. The bill pro.
vides for allotment on a basis of
one hundred and zen acres to the
head and gives deed to same.
This alone is sufficient to secure
its ratification. The Chieflain ad.
vlses the Cherokee people to &C.
cept it at the polls next month
and settle for themselves and chill.
dren their property interests in
the lands so long held in common.
Those who oppose the act will
be found to have sinister motives

Division of Northern District
Suspected of Being a Re-
publican Scheme.
WESTERN DISTRICT
Will be Converted to the Rspu5 d.
lican Fold, it is Said, With
Federal Patronage and
Annexation Sought
with Oklahoma.

The division Of the northern
district, it is now asserted, was a
scheme of the Republican organi-
zation to obtain political domina.
tion of the state which will event.
ually be formed from Oklahoma
and the Indian I erritory.
1t is alleged that the division OF
the northern district, which was
undoubtedly democratic, was OBJ
tanned to allow a concentration of
forces in the new western district
which, it is hoped, can be easily
converted into a republican strong.
hold through federal patronage
and the black vote.
1t is essc ted that then they will
secure l4nexation with Oklahoma,
via the Greek nation and the or.
ganio act, thereby making Oklaho.
ma strongly republican, and when
the other Indian nations are grad
ually absorbed tits thought that
the political complexion willnot be
materially changed.
A movement has been started
behind which is an immense i'm.
petus, TO have the Creek nation
annexed TO Oklahoma at once. 1t
has been found that the organic
act Of Oklahoma provides for the
annexation Of any Indian nation
to Oklahoma whenever the presi-
dent is notified that they are ready.
The authority of the Greek nation
is its national council, and it is
proposed to urge that body at iIs
coming session, which convenes
this M onth, 70 announce to the
president that it is ready for an
nexation as provided in the organic
act.
The action of the Creek council
will be watched with more than
ordinary interest.

The clause in the Indian appro.
priation bill restricting land hold.
ings to one hundred acres to the
head is misunderstood by some.
The provision is that one hundred
acres is the maximum amount OF
land that can be held by an indi.
vidual, pending allotment, under
the old Curtis bill, the act Of June
%, 1898. II the act that is to be
voted upon on the seventh Of next
month, providing for allotment, is
defeated then allotment under the
Curtis bill will proceed, and every
one who has held land exceeding
one hundred acres subsequent to
July /, 1902, will be subject to a
fine Of 500 for each day the land
is so held. The law does not mean
that one hundred acres is to be the
prorata share but that this amount
can be held only until allotment
under the Curtis bill can be had.
The allotment, in that event, will
be only a surface allotment and
according to the appraised value,
and may mean eighty acres or
sixty acres, or less, according to
the value placed upon it by the
commission.
