MILES MAY BE RETIRED.
Remarks Made Before Senate Com.
mttee Nav Cost Him Dearly,

Washington, March 21.-The state
ments made yesterday by General
Miles before the senate committee on
military affairs We're discussed by the
President today with a number of his
statements will ultimately lead to
Miles retirement by the President.
In discussing the matter today with
callers among whom We're senators
and representatives the President
took the position that the lieutenant
general Of the army should entertain
toward his superiors the same respect
that he would expect and demand from
lis subordinates.
May Not Go in Disgrace.
Washington, March 21.-At cabi-
net meeting today publications relat-
ing to the statements made by Gener-
al Miles before the senate committee
yesterday were brought up. Consid-z
Grafton of them was postponed until
all the facts in the matter become
known. Whatever intention the Pres
ident had with respect to the treat
ment to be accorded Miles, his future
action will be somewhat influenced by
the fact that Miles statement before
the committee had been represented to
| him as being privileged. The Presi-
dent is known to have stated that he
| Is tired of friction in the army and IN
event it is decided that Miles state-
ment is privileged one, he will at no
dista ~. day take action looking to his
retirement.

MANY COMPLICATIONS
Threatened Through CareIessness Of
Property Owners In Filing on
Lots.

Serious complications in obtain.
ing title to town lots are threat
ened, through the carelessnefs OF
property owners in filing on wrong
lots. Three have already filed on
one lot ON the East side, and the
members OF the townsite commits
sion think that ia this as in many
other instances it has been through
ignorance of their lot numbers.
There is a map in the commits
sion's Offices which can be con.
suited and such mistakes avoided.
In some instances where more
than one party has filed on ths
same lot it has been done inten-
tionally, with view to a contest.
In the matter Of filing, the COM
mission urges all lot holders to
make sure OF their numbers before
filing their applications as it will
save many delays and much an
noyance in obtaining title.

Of the Dawes Commission
Made Public by Secre-
tary Of the Interior.
TRIBAL PROBL MS
Nearing Their Final Solution and
the Five Civilized Tribes Are
On the Threshold of Great
Prosperity.

The annual report OF the Dawes
Commission, reviewing the work
Of the commission in adjudicating
the affairs of the several tribes,
has been published by the 6ecre-
tary Of the Interior.
The report summarizes the work
of the commission for the fiscal
year az follows:
The fiscal year just closed has
been the most noteworthy since
the commission entered upon it's
duties. The bitter anti-allotment
sentiment has largely yielded to
the In fiuence of reason and time,
and the Five Civilized Tribes are
now fairly upon the threshold Of a
new era. The enactment OF legis-
lat.on and the confirmation OF
agreements has enabled the COM
mission to make marked progress
in remedying the Objectionable
political and social conditions
which prevailed in Iniian Terri
tory for many years. While more
or less irritation is yet noticeable
in some quarters, yet matters gen.
eeally are rapidly assuming the
desired status. On the part OF the
commission practical working ma
chinery has been designed and put
in motion. System and method
in all branches of the work appli-
cable to the complex subjects with
which the commission has to deal
have been installed and healthy,
vigorous current of business has
taken the place of the congested,
feverish conditions OF the country
which prevailed short time since.
Should the agreements now pend
ing before the various tribes be rat
flied, the ultimate end in view will
depend for its attainment almost
solely upon the elements of time
and labor. The vexatious negoti-
ations which have been in progress
for nearly a decade will have been
ended and the satisfactory and
speedy elimination of very per-
picking problem may be antici-
pated."

BOOMING TERRITORY.
Rock Island Railroad Offers Big Cash
Prize for Best Article ON
Territory.

The Rock Island system, in fol.
lowing up its recently announced
policy of booming the Indian Ter
ritory and encouraging emigration
to this country, has offered 1915 in
cash and transportation to parties
living in the territory who will
write them a letter describing the
conditions as they exist here and
the prosperity of the people.
Letters should deal with the
writer's experiences since he set
tied in the territory. They should
tell how much money he brought
with him, what he did when he
first came and what measure OF
success has since rewarded his ef-
forts.
Letters should not be less than
300 nor more than 1000 words in
length, and will be used for the
purpose of advertising the south
west.
This liberal proposition should
be taken advantage of. The rail-
roads have determined to build up
the territory, and they should be
given the encouragement they de.
serve.
