any Of the other five civilized tribes.
Even before the first treaty was made
with them, Ia 1885, they invariably had
their patch of Indian corn near their
hut, the squaw doing the labor in those
days. Now they also raise cotton. Most
Of the work, however, is done by the
African descendants, their labor in
many sections of the nation being as
cheap as the wind.
When Congress created the Dawes
Commission, it instructed the same to
make rolls Of the members of the Five
Tribes. In order to accomplish this, it
was necessary to take census Of each
of said tribes. When the rolls are COM
pleted they will contain names Of full
blood Indians, negsoes, and white men .
with every intervening degree Of blood.
Some Indians entitled to enrolment
have but one sixty-fourth degree of
Indian blood and show no resemblance
whatever to the red man. In compil-
ing these rolls. the commission was
guided to an extent by the old tribal
rolls. Great difficulties confronted it,
however, in the change of names
among the members of all tribes
The commission has its headquarters
in the town Of Muskogee in the Greek
nation. When the making of the rolls
began. the great majority Of the In
dians, opposed to enrolment, would

The 100000 non-citizens also embrace
Indians by blood, who through some
cause have forfeited their rights. They
may have defaulted in their citizenship
by not moving to the Indian Territory
when the treaty was ratified by the
tribe, or by removing after once having
established home therein, or by re-
moving too late to the abode Of their
fellow red men. The remainder of the
100000 people are whites" and ne

faith that he might at some future time

The Indian Territory and Its People

Indian have hitherto been but slight
The whites" from the adjoining
States, however, have aspired to own
some of these fertile fields; but seeing
that their aspirations were futile. they
leased land at a ridiculously low 1g-
ure. This practice had been a regular
custom for more than twenty years,
when the government finally took
charge of this matter and made up
schedule of stipulated rental-fees per
acre. The government now draws up
the lease contracts and sees to it that
the Indian receives due remuneration
for the use Of his lands.
All this may lead the reader to ask:
"Who are the inhabitants of the In
dian Territory" The owners In COM
mon are a heterogeneous mass of hu-
manity-Indians, negroes and whites"
aggregating about $1,000 souls. An
additional 100000 make their homes
within the limits of the Territory,
without a title to the land upon which
they live and without a voice in the
government by which they are con-
trolled. For the administration of
public affairs no uniform system Of
government and no code of laws now
exists. The owners, as has been said,
are Indians. whites" and negroes.
The latter We're slaves of the different
bands prior to the war. and after being
liberated through acts of the Indian
councils, they were adopted by the re-
spective tribes as members of the
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1903-05-01

% HE Indian Territory was reserY-
ed for the red men more than
seventy years ago. Reservations
were nothing new in those days;
the man of nature" was still numer-
GUS. and the administration sought 10
keep them in colonies on reservations.
to be able to better control them. Again
and again the original hunting grounds
of the Indian were reduced in size, anu
the tribes forced to abandon their
homes and settle anew. And why!
Because thousands of immigrants
wanted room for homesteads, the
strides Of industry and civilization
were great and fast, and-the redskins,
opposed to all this, favored disturb
ances and absolute freedom.
So the government was confronted
with the vexed question of making
some final and amicable settlement, or
treaty, with some of the larger tribes
of Indians which lived in the southern
part of the Union. Virginia. North
Carolina. Alabama, Mississippi-all
sought to open the Indians land to the
plow Of the farmer, the ak of the tim
Der cutter, or the spade of the miner.
Congress began legislation on the
matter of removing the Indian from
these States to the West, and present

tribes, which in time and turn were
ratified by the chiefs and councils Of
the tribes.

HIS CLEVER NEPHEW.
Young Man Who Was Set Up in Busi-
ness Three Times.

A certain member of the Stock Ex-
change has set his nephew up in busi-
ness three times, but the young man
lacks something essential to success in
the line selected for him, and has fail
ed with each effort. Recently, when
he came with the fourth request for
financial assistance, the uncle de-
murred:
You must learn to lean on yourself"
he said. Il can't carry you all your life
1t would be an unkindness in me to
keep supplying you with money to car
ry on enterprises that invariably end
in assignments. I'll tell you what I'll
do. You owe a great deal as the result
of that last failure. Pitch in on your
own hook and 90 it alone till you can
pay off those debts. When you've done
that I'll give you check for all they
amount to. Such an experience will
do you more good than all the money |
could give you nOw."
Two months later the nephew walked
in with every claim receipted in full,
and the uncle was so delighted that he
gave the promised check.
Now, that's something like it," he
said, land I'll wager you feel the better
for the hard training. How did you
manage it, Dick?"
Borrowed the money"
Now the old gentleman is telling them
that there is the making of a great
financier in that nephew.-New York

The Cherokees are the largest nation,
and prior to the removal to their pres
ent abode dwelt in North Carolina and
adjacent States. The government had
long been negotiating with these In
dians, and in the year 1885 succeeded
in having a treaty ratified by the tribe
according to which they were to cede
all claims to land east of the Missis-
sippi and accept 100000 acres of land
west of this river.

The Turkey Famine.

AS Christmas draws near people are
again becoming worried over the scar
city of turkeys, as they were at Thanks
giving time. AS at that time the Boston
markets are calling for the Vermont
birds in preference to any others and
large shipments are ordered sent to the
Club from this State. A Boston paper
states that the price of the best Vermont
turkeys will probably go as high as 80
cents, while good fair turkeys will sell
at from % to 80 cents and few grades
from Kentucky will go as low as 20 and
% cents. Like a mother who denies
herself for her child will Vermont fur
nish outsiders her turkeys as long as
they last, that is, if the price is salts

great benefit to turkey dealers, as the
birds can be kept in perfect condition
for at least two weeks.

Pounded His Wife,

Gideon Reed, of Rutland who was
arrested last week for attacking his wife
with club and knife pleaded guilty in
court to the charge of simple assault
and was sentenced to not more than two
years and not less than eighteen months
in the house of correction at Rutland
The grand juror stated that the
case against the respondent had not
proved as serious as the matter was at
first supposed as Mrs. Reed is now able
to be about the house. He stated that
the man was apparently of little use to
himself or to the community and asked
that the court impose a sentence that
would be heavy enough to impress on
the mind of the respondent the serious
ness of his act without being too severe,
considering the recent developments in
the case.
