CAN CUT TIMBER.
An Indian AlIottee Does Not Have
to Wait Until He Gets
Title.

This morning the Indian Offices
and the Dawes Commission re-
ceived an opinion from the attor
ney general relative to cutting
timber from lands that have been
allotted TO citizens in the Chero-
kee, Choctaw and Chickasaw ma
tlons, says the Muskogee Times.
The attorney holds that after
the land has been allotted to a
citizen that he has q right to cut
the timber and does not have TO
wait until he gets title, or in other
words, not till he has received a
deed to the allotment.
This is question that has often
been disputed and is Of great inn
portance to allottees a. 1t recog-
nizes their power to handle an
allotment as soon as a certificate
of allotment Is issued, and does
not have u wait until a deed is
issued.
