Fewer Restrictions.
On the Sale of Surplus Lands
Wanted by Atoka Citizens.

Atoka, /. T., Aug. 7.-The Com.
mercial Club of Atoka was organ
lied by electing G. 7. Rails presi-
dent, and L. A. Newman secretary,
and the usual quote Of officers, com
mittees, ETC., not the least import
portant of which is a committee for
the purpose Of taking up the ques-
tion of asking congress to take ac.
tion on the removal of all restric-
tions from the citizens Of the Choc-
taw nation, as applied to their sur
plus lands.
AS it now stands the intermarried
citizen may sell his surplus allott-
ment. The freedman, also, has
been granted the same privilege,
and the citizen by blood, may ask
the Indian agent to remove his re-
strictions after which the secretary
of the interior may approve or dis
approve as in his judgment seems
to the interest Of the citizen. 1t is
also possible under the treaty for
the citizens by blood to sell one
half Of his entire allotment, at the
expiration of one, three and five
years, from date of pateut. How
ever the progressive citizen of this
territory as represented by the
Atoka Commercial Club, think that
a much higher price could be OBJ
tained by the Indian, if all the bars
were let down and let competition
set the figure. In support Of this
idea, it is suggested that the act Of
congress Of April IS, 1904, permit
ting intermarried citizens and free:
man TO sell their holdings, has
created a feeling of confidence On
the part Of the purchasing public,
resulting in better prices and a
more general movement toward the
Choctaw nation.
