OSAGE TRADERS CLAIMS.
Settlement Likely 10 be Effected
Within a Short Time.

The claims Of the Usage traders
which have been pending before
the interior department for months
aud before congress for a number
Of years, are IN a fair way for ad-
jusiment, under a proposition re-
Gently made by the department.
There we're eight principal traders
aud a number Of small claimants,
which made the aggregate num-
ber OF claimants as individuals or
firms about twenty. The total
amount Of their claims was over
S500,009. As near as can be as
cerlMned the proposition Of the
department is TO settle the claims
on basis which will insure to all
of the traders about the same per.
oen,age Of reduction oitheir claims.
The department proposes to apply
to the claims the schedule Of
prices, which the department has
insisted the traders shall charge
tue Indians Of the reservation. II
is understood that the reduction
below the aggregate amount Of the
claims will amount to about
Sl25, 900. As near as can be learneS
from the traders the proposition o
settlement is entirely salisiacloF,
TO them.

Cooperative Grain Dealers
Ready For the Fight.
Meet in Topeka and Ask Farm
ers to Help.
FARMERS FIX PRICES
That is Plan Upon Which The!
Are Working.
Resolutions Adopted Request
ing Farmers to Organize.

Preliminary plans for the disposal Of
the wheat crop of Kansas this year that
will in a manner result in the largest
income to the producers, are being
formed by the Kansas Cooperative
Grain and Live Stock association.
The board of directors Of the associa-
ton met in Topeka Thursday and
adopted resolutions advising the farm
ers all over the state to cooperate with
the cooperative association for the dis
posal of the crop. The members of the
board are: J. A. Bueklin. Thomas
Peckham, Reno; W. c. Mcconnell, Ne
osho; w. r. Smith, Ottawa; H P
Hawkins, COwley; W. o. Matthews,
Mcpherson, and A. P. Collins. Moline.
The strength of the cooperative as
ISOLATION is growing, and it is the be-
lief Of its members that the farmers
company will be better able to cope
with the grain trust this year than ever
before. The plan proposed is for each
farmer to list his crops with the sec
rotary of the association, who viii
thereby be better qualified to name a
price for which the products will be
sold, because he will have a monopoly
so to speak, of the entire crop, in the
event all the farmers of the state CO.
operate in carrying out the plans The
set of resolutions adopted yesterday are
as follows:
In order that the producer may get
his products to market with the least
outlay for freight and commissions and
realize the highest price for the same,
such products must be handled in &C
cordance with some exact system;
therefore be it
Resolved, That we. the directors of
the Farmers Cooperative Grain and
Live Stock association, recommend the
following:
Farmers. are requested to organize
and list with their local secretary on
blanks prepared for that purpose the
amount of grain and live stock they
have for sale in the near future with the
price they are willing to accept for the
same. The local secretary shall immed-
lately forward to the state or central
I secretary this information when the
secretary and his assistant shall try to
sell the same to the best advantage"
Before Withdrawing any of the pro-
duets listed with the state secretary the
/ local secretary will be required to give
I two days notice in writing
1.-The object of these resolutions said
/ James Butler, the state secretary, is
/ to begin a movement that will result in
/ enabling the farmers to fix the prices for
/ their products instead of allowing the
! buyers to dictate what the prices shall
/ be while the producer stands meekly by
and submits. The farmers are not plan
! ming to ask unreasonable prices for the
products of their fields. but they dc
1 want fair prices and hope by this means
/ to bring about that condition"

Glen Elder Millers Say Missouri Pacific

A milling firm at Glen Elder, Mitchell

Pacific railway is discriminating against

ter a smaller minimum car load on flour
shipments than it gives the small mills
in the interior, which gives the eastern
mills the advantage in the flour market.
mills at AtchisOn. LeaVenworth and
Kansas City get a minimum of p, 900 for
a car load. while the interior mills are
compelled to pay freight on a minimum
of so 600 pounds. Therefore when deal
ers buy in 10000 or % 600 pound lots they
save the freight on 5000 pounds by buy
ing Of the Missouri river mills.
The railroad board is asked to estab-
fish a uniform minimum for car load
lots at $4,000.
