"oRArTERs'" BANQUET.

Tshlequah, |. T., Oct. 31.-One Of
the most unigue events that ever hap
peneG in this city was when the
grafters' oonquet" was held IL one OF
the local cafes. The word grating
has become so rooted in Indian terri
tory hat in itself il attracts attention.
At the 'grafters' banquet were as
sembled many prominent mem some
of them members Of the Cherokee
tribe, who have to do with affairs at
the land Office here. There was a
program in which tho various forms
of so called "grafting' were discussed
and the btnedts AID iniQuities of this

II viii BE a Bureau Of information for
the Tribe.

oknulgee, !. r., oct. 3i.-There was
introduced in the Creek council a bill
for the purpose OF establishing a ma
tioaal bureau Of information for the
benefit Of he Creek citizens who are
fullblocds and cannot read English.
The most impo' tant feature Of This
information bureau Is the establish
ment OF weekly newspaper which
is to be printed in the Creek language
and circulated free Of cost to ali the
creek Indian towns
The bin recites the fact that the
only government in this country is
departmental ruie. and the orders and
changes In rpli'fs vitality affect the
Creek people. but rs such informa-
lion is printed and published only in
English newspapers. The Creeks who
do not understand that language are
slow to set the information. much to-
their loss ard discomfort The bill
carries with it IN appropriation Of
$1,000 for the purpose of defraying
the expenses of such publication and
the maintenance of he bureau ga-
til The dissolution Of tribal government
March 4. 1906 It also stipulated that
the manager and editor Of this publi-
cation shall be g Creek citizen who
shall be appointed by the chief Of the
nation. The he evsnaper must be de-
voted more to the publication Of gov
ernmental orders and rulings than
to tie dissemination of news Of other
character
Such publication has never been
attempted by the Creeks as a national
enterprise. though in the early days
tho-e were many tracts, pamphlets
and other literature published by the
missionaries for The enlightenment OF
tho Creeks and many Of these were
IN the Creek language One of the
most potent factors in The so-called
grating" If the Indian today is the
Jack Of knowledge Of the law and the
goYernn EN- rulings covering the es-
tate and rights Of the Indian.
The Che.okeos have long maintain
ed such a publication. the Cherokee
Advocate. It is understood that the
Cherokeos will make an attempt to get
congress to continue this national
publication after The dissolution OF
the Cherokee tribal government
