The law provides that Mississippi
Choctaws must reside on their land
in the Choctaw nation three years be-
fore a patent is issued. It provides
that there shall be nine months notice
of allotment after certificate of allot-
ment is issued, in order that contest
ants may present their claims, before
a deed is issued. The allotment may
be completed within year, but even
at that there will be six months time
TO elapse after July 1, 1895, before
the deeds can be issued to the allot-
tees who take their allotments last

courts which retard allotment, notably

Will Increase Clerk
Force to Rush
Allotments

Muskoeee, /. T., May 4.-Congress
has fixed the date of the expiration OF
the Dawes commission and Chairman
Bixby has commenced the race against
time. He realizes the enormity OF the
work in hand and is trimming his sails
accordingly Last week he called be-
fore him the heads of all the depart
ments and told them the situation
They were instructed as to what was
expected of them and the fact that
there was a time limit was especially
impressed on their minds There mas
been a large increase in the working
force OF the commission and a num-
ber of stenographers ana draughtsmen
are being taken on, persons who are
capable of turning out technical work
rapidly The force for the land Office
at TahleQuah has been increased un.
I'll there are nearly as many men
working there as in both the other
land offices combined and the force
at the commission Office proper has
been increased.
The Condition Of the Work.
Mr. Bixby gave out the following
statement Of the condition of the wort
recently In the Creek nation the al.
lotment and citizenship work is 80
per cent completed There are about
200 allotments yet to make. Most OF
these are for citizens VINO refuse to
take allotments and which the com
mission will now proceed to allot ar
bitrarily There are $50 allotments
that are not yet completed, the allot
tees having failed to select fragmen-
tary pieces of land to which they are
entitled
In the Choctaw nation the allotment
is 65 per cent completed and in the
Chickasaw nation 70 per cent. The
land offices in these nations have
been opened just a year. In these ma
tions there have been 1000 contest
cases decided and there are now 2.O0D

has been done and they are awaiting
the signatures Of the commissioners.
There viii be between 5000 and a.
600 more Of these cases come up. Tne
decision OF contest, however, proceeds
much more rapidly now than at mrs
as precedents have been established
and questions OF law and fact have
been threshed out and the work now
is more routine in character and is
largely a matter of clerical work. In
the beginning it took about three
months for a contest case to work its
way through Il takes about thirty
now, This does not apply to cases
appealed from the commission. as
when the appeal is taken the work
passes TO the department
In the Cherokee Nation.
In the Cherokee nation there is
more allotment work to do than else
whore The land office was opened
at the same tine, but has been closed
eight months since first opened, ana
only a third of the allotment work
has been completed But Mr.. Bixby
figures that the increased force will
soon bring the work up to the other
offices. Every man who can find room
will be given place in this onice.
Though the commission viii expire
