HOME FOR THE BUFFALO.
Appeal FOR setting Aside a Game
Preserve in Oklahoma.


Before it is too late, II would I've well
for the people Of Oklahoma to interest
themselves in the scheme to establish
big game preserve In the Wichita
mountains. There Is great forest re-
serve in the hills of southwestern Ok
laloma set aside by Congress many
years ago. IL contains 5000 acres of
land cxccllcntly adapted for the big
and little game which formerly was so
plentiful In America. There are broad
pastures in this reserve. and thickcts
of scrub oak. heavy timber. clear and
everything streams of water. ana rock
Businesses. Vegetation is abundant:
the climate is salubrious. Apparently
nature has done its best to make these
$1,000 acres n congeninl haunt for
game animals and a grand. attractive
park for sportsmcn and the seekers
after rest and recreation.
Many of the beasts aud birds which
| abounded In plain ami wood in this
country short time ago are doomed
| to an early extinction unless the State
and Federal governments take the
proper steps to assure protection. Ex-
cept for the few head still remaining
in public or private reservations, the
buffalo has been practically wiped out
| of existence.
! For some unaccountable reason. civ
ilization took prejudice TO this no
bic animal. Its value was never given
q fair test until within recent years.
i - lnt tl,s, h,,H Nh II,
propagatcs quickly, grows rapidly. is
hardy and self-sustaining upon the
plains, its hide makes fine leather, and
its flesh is equal in flavor and strength
giving qualities to that Of ordinary
beef. In fact, the buffalo IL the ma.
tive cattle Of this country, Just rs the
Herefords. the Galloways and the Hol-
stems are the native cattle of Europe.
The buffalo Is u docilc creature. easi-
~ domesticated. and probably had we
not been no attached by custom to
European things we should have de.
veloped II into the regular beef.pro-
Queer Of this country. Wherever 1t has
been interbrcd with domestic cattle, an
improved product has resulted, more
able TO resist disease and Withstand the
inclemencies Of American weather.
The chief purpose Of the men who
are striving TO have the Wichita for.
est reserve turned into game pre-
serve Is to secure n place where the
remnants Of the buffalo herd can be-
. collected and saved from extermina
ton. 1t Is to be hoped that they will
, obtain favorable action from Congress
, in mid of this laudable undertaking.

INDIAN "MEOICiNE" FIRES.
The Creeks Brought the Sacred Flame
from Al0b1 ma.

The Creeks Brought the Sacred Flame
from Alabama.
With the beginning of the new year
the secret visit of the chief medicine
man Of the Creeks was made to see
that the tribal fires In the Indian
towns IRE kept burning according to
tradition. says the Kansas City STAR
From time as old as Creek history, 1t
hns been II custom among the full.
blood Creeks TO keep medicine fire
burning constantly in each Indian
town. When the Creeks migrated from
Alabama to Indian Territory In 1888
this sacred fire was brought with them.
Then. as now. official nrekeepers were
appointed by the tribe. whose special
duty II was to see that this fire was
kept alive constantly. On the long
march from Alabama. day and night,
this fire was never allowed to die out.
The fire was kept then for both practi.
cal use and belief that II 1t once went
out dire misfortune would befall the
tribe.
The first Indian town established
In Indian Territory was Alabama,
named for the old home. In Ala
bama the tribal fire was built and the
permanent home of the Creeks estab.
iished. Since that time there have
been established fOrty-four Indian
towns that still exist From this cen.
trail fire embers were taken to start

chosen whose duty 1t was to see that
the fire was kept constantly In his
house. This was a great honor for
nm Indian and II he was unfaithful
! the punishment was Punishment from
tho tribe. In winter and the hottest
days of summer the fire was kept
alive. Once year there was n Sc
cret visit of certain medicine men to
these towns to investigate the faith.
fulness of the firckeeper. An unfavor-
able report meant Punishment OF the
keeper and the hatred of every MEM
Der Of the tribe.
In the full-blood districts the In
dian town fires are maintained to this
day. An Indian town Is not town
in the American sense, but may be
merely a grove where the clans meet
upon call of the leaders to discuss
matters of interest and vote thereon.
An Indian is not allowed voice In
the councils of any other than his
rightful town or district. There Is n
town chief for each town whose in
fiuence is great among his tribesmen.
