THE LAND OFFICE.


men again called upon the Dawes
Commission at Muskogee yester
day in the interest of the thou
sands Of Cherokees living In th,
upper country who have not vel
filed upon their lands. The en-.
tire commission was present and
listened to what the committee
had to say. About the only rea-
son offered for not continuing the
land Office few months longer
here was offered by Ex-Governor
Stanley, the new member from
Kansas. 1t was the same one
urged by Chairman Bixby on last
Tuesday when a similar committee
visited the commission that rep
resentatives of the town had agreed
last November that il the land of,
fee would be located and remain
in Vinita four months that they
would not ask TO have it continued
longer. This OF course was
rather flimsey excuse but the com.
mission dwelt fondly upon it as
though II we're sufficient. The
fact is, II it has now developed
that the Cherokee people could be
better served By allowing the land
Office to remain at vinita few
months, II lie of little consequ fence
whether two or three men or the
whole town as to that matter had |
agreed otherwise six months age.
The question now is: ought the
land Office be moved away from
the thousands who have not yet
tiled, or should II remain in easy
reach OF them until they have
an opportunity to select their
ands? The land Office is supposed
10 have been established for the
benefit Of the Cherokees and not
or the commercial interests of
Vinita or Tahlequah. 1t was also
irged by members OF the commits

The Dayton( Oregon Herald says ever

From reports published in California
papers it appears that the growers in
the Pajaro valley, California, this year
have contracted most OF their Yellow
Newtown apples at 80 and96 cents per
box, or just about one-half the price at
which the Hood River apple growers
union has sold. We believe the custom
in the Pajaro valley, however, is for the
buyer to pick and pack, while at Hood
River the fruit will be delivered to the
buyers ready for shipment.
There have been a number of disap-
pontments in connection with fruit
crops in Oregon this year but it is quite
certain that the fruit growers OF the state
as whole will this year receive more
money for their fruit than in any pre-
vious year and that more money will
come into the state for fruit shipped
than in any previous year. Every kind
OF fruit SO far marketed has brough
good prices. A large share of the COM
ing commercial apple crop has already
