tiff TO enter a section of land in which

school lands to select 100000 acres Of the
SURPLUS lands in the Fickapoo reserva-
tion as indemnity school lands. He made
the selection prior to the opening of the
lands for settlement at noon on May %
1895 at noon practically all the LANDS
selected by Mr.. Harvey were settled up
or and claimed by homesteaders under
the homestead law.
The applications of the homesteaders
were rejected by the United States land
Office for being in conflict with the Sc
lection made for indemnity school lands
AS the case IS a test case Is pelng
vigorously contested by both sides.

GRAND JURY's THANKS.
Secretary Hitchcock Receives an Un-
usual Sort of Endorsement.

usual OOFl OI EnOOfSCfHCHls
Guthrie, o. T., Sept PA washington
dispatch says Secretary Hitchcock has
received a somewhat unusual Endorsement
Of his Endorsement of his course in con-
nection with the sale OF town lots IN
Kiowa county, Oklahoma. Under the law
these funds are to be expended in the
construction of bridges and on other
public improvements. Soon after this
work was started Mr.. Hitchcock received
Information that the county officials un-
der whose direction the work was being
done, had been guilty of gross irregulari-
ties in the making of contracts. and he
ordered an investigation. Pending this
investigation he directed that payments
to the contracts be suspended Charges
that had been fled at the interior de-
partment were placed in the hands of
Horace Speed, United States district at
torney for Oklahoma. and as a result
the grand jury of Kowa county indicted
the county commissioners of that county
and some of the contractors.
When the payments were stopped there
was much dissatisfaction among the peo-
pie interested in the improvements and
Mr.. Hitchcock was severely criticised in
some quarters. The facts developed by
the investigation showed that the secre-
tary was fully justified by his course. Mr..
Hitchcock today received the members
of the grand jury that returned the in
dictments.
The undersigned members of the grand
jury for Kiowa county, Oklahoma. Aug
ust term. take this opportunity of ex-
pressing their appreciation of your serv-
ices to this country as a part of the re-
servation opened to settlement August 6.
1901. We have observed the controversy
made public III the newspapers, touching
the control of funds in your hands aris-
ing from the sale of lots. part of which
belongs to Kiowa county. We have also
in the capacity of grand jurors examined
the methods adopted by officers of this
county in attempted expenditures of the
same. and we hereby. without regard to
party afiliation. desire to express our
appreciation of the manner in which the
funds of Kiowa county have been guard
ed by the interior department against
plunder and official corruption at home
We find from examination of the facts,
as grand jurors, aid ed by evidence from
your office and by the intelligent work
and services of Hon. Horace Speed
United States district attorney. not only
was commendable precaution taken by
you in the expenditures of funds in your
hands. but that delay was made necessary
by official corruption in this county after
a prompt effort on your part to cause
the expenditure of such funds for needed
inopro7-ernents through official sliperViSion
of such expenditures by local officers.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of $50
men will profit by the increase at this
point, which means. in the aggregate, a
large sum of money that will find its
way into the channels of local business.
The company assigned no particular rea-
son for the raise in wages. However. a.;
the road IS in a very prosperous condi-
