EDITOR CHIEFTAIE, VISITA, I. T.,
Dear Sir; As you are doubtless
aware, we are now endeavoring to
raise the sum OF s25,000. or more,
for an Indian Territory Exhibit at
the st. Louis Exposition. When
we get the s25, 900 from the inhab.
itants Of the Territory, an addi.
tional s25, 900 appropriated By con.
gress will be available.
At convention Of mayors and
citizens of the Indian Territory
held at South McAlsster on the
25lh OF March, | was selected as
Commissioner and Treasurer for
purpose of getting together this
fund. II was thought best to ask
each Of The chief towns of the Ter
ritory to raise her share OF the
fund In such manner as the mayor
and principal citizens tn ought
best. The sum must be raised at
once az the s25, 600 appropriated by
Congress will not be available
after June let, 1903
The great benefit that will 40
crue TO the Territory from cred
liable exhibit al the Exposition Is
apparent to all, | know that you
are interested in your city par,icu.
larly, snd in the Territory IL gen.
eral, and request lha, you,
through your columns, in such
manner as you think best, urge up
on the citize us OF your town ard
the Territory generally The neces-
sity Of prompt action and liberal
contributions.
We can raise this easily and
without hardship to any, II We can
get the concerted action OF the
people, and ! thank You in adj
vance for your assistance in bring.
Ing this about.
Respectfully,
F. @. HUBBARD

K. @. Churchill. OF Con neticul,
will succeed J, George Wright as

garded as the direct acts Of the

Chicago last summer for treat
ment. He had an attack Of ty-
phoid fever there, and ii has left

ton Of inspector temporarily, but

With President Francis--Co-op
GRAFTON Necessary to Success.

Inspector Zevely and Worlds
Fair Commissioner F. @. Hubbard
returned yesterday from 81. Louis
where they were in consultation
with the Worlds Fair authorities,
including President Francis, who
has returned from his trip abroad
Commissioner Hubbard said they

encouragement and that the st.
Louis influences will 60 to the end
Of their authority and power in
helping Indian Territory to make
q good display. II devolves upon
Indian Territory TO raise that
s25, 900 before the $4,000 appro-
plated by Congress can be placed
to the credit OF the Indian Terri
tory exhibit, but Mr.. Hubbard
said yesterday that the prospect
was most fiattering. He did not
state IL that way, however. He
talked with the natural and easy
confidence Of one who knows ex.
aetly how and where the money
is TO come from and the assurance
that 1t will come. Il appears now
that there is getting 10 be an in
terest In the subject and the dif.
ferenl parts OF the Indian Terri.
tory will come up without hesita.
tion and With pride in the work.
The prospects Of having Indian
Territory well represented struck
the St. Louis authorities with par
ticulHr force. Not alone the fact
Indian Territory is the last Bit Of
the origional purchase which has
not yet become a territory or
state, but the idea OF presenting
something Of its poetic past which
will soon be dim tradition, and
also the particularly opportune
rime Of presenting to the whole
world the tremendous natural re-
sources Of the country and the
great progress made under such
unfavorable circumstances and
the influence this presentation
will have on the granting Of stable
organized government t. this
country. 1t is believed that a
good display would not only at
tract desirable population, bu. tbs

United States to a knowledge Of
what the country is can be done

railroads are just now beginng

tising this country and there
would be universal desire to see
the exhibit from this country,
particularly If II is a good one.
Mr.. Hubbard hardly landed
