mont II 10000 Aeres

Washinston An eieort will be made
to get through Congress- bill opening
to aettIement a large tract Of fine graz
ing land in the Kiowa Country, Okla
honna. when the E6iowa. Comanche
and Apache reservation was opened
there was reserved from settlement
100000 acres Of grazing lands and 25,-
900 acres OF wood lands for the use
in common for said Indian tribes as
will best subserve their interests
Included In these tracts are some OF
the most valuable lands IN Oklahoma.
They have been leased by cattlemen
and others, and members of Congress
who are familiar with the conditions
think the Indians are not getting as
large returns from them as they
should get wednesday Representa-
tive Lacey, who was chairman of the
House Committee on Public Lands In
the last Congress, called at the Inter
Tor Department and discussed the adj
visibility Of opening the lands TO set
Element Commissioner Jones has
recommended that this course be-pur-
sued, and he Is in favor of'selling the
lands to the highest bidder as he says
they are too valuable to be sold under
the homestead laws. Mr.. Lacey agreed
with the Commissioner in this, and he
will Introduce a bill to carry out Mr..
Jones' Recommendation.
A bill for the opening, introduced
Tuesday by Representative Stevens,
who was a member of the House Com
mittee on Indian AFFAIRS In the last
Congress-, is regarded favorably by
some Interior Department officials. 1t
provides that the grazing and wood
lands. aggregating 505.O00 acres,i be
opened to settlement by proclamation
of the President within three months
after the passage of the bill, the lands
to be disposed of at public auction
and to the, highest bidder for cash. No
person, however, is to be permitted
to purchase more than $50 acres.
The money arising from the sale Is
to be placed in the treasury to the
credit of the Indians, and is TO draw
5 per cent interest, the principal and
interest to be expended for the benefit
of the Indians in such manner as Con-
gress shall direct. The bill directs
the Secretary of the Interior to pre-
pare rules and regulations to govern
the sale. ,e..,

Washington: Among the recess APP

Crum to be Collector OF Customs at
Charleston, 8. c.. Crum's nomination
was before the Senate at the last reg
yular and also the special session, and
met the opposition of the South Caro-
lima Senators and the Charleston bust
ness men, because Of the color of the
appointee. At the regular session the
nomination was reported from the
Senate Committee on Commerce by
the votes Of the Republican members,
but no action was taken by the SEN
ate AT the special session a similar
fight was made, and a sufficient num-
her of Republicans joined with the
Democratic members of >the commit
tee to send the nomination to the
Senate with an adverse Recommended
stion. The appointment, however, fell
with the adjournment of the Senate
without action on it, and the Presi-
dent. as he then announced in the alb
sence Of definite action by the SEN
ate, has renominated Crum.
