LAST CREEK COUNCIL
Representatives Of the Creek Nation
Convened at Okmulgee


MUSKOGEE: The last annual ses-
sion of the Creek Indian nation
opened at Okmulgee last Thursday.
Most OF the time was taken up with
the reading of the message Of General
Pleasant Porter principal chief of the
nation. In which the veteran leader
outlined the measures that, in his
opinion, should be passed by the
council before the end of the session
of thirty days hence.
Referring to the Indian appropri.
aticn bill providing for the removal
OF restrictions upon the alienation OF
the aLotments of freedmen, CT citi.
zens net of Indian blood, Chief Por.
ter declared the law has had a bad eff.
feet on the non-English speaking peo.
pie of the nation in that 1t has
created the impression among them
that they must sell their lands.
Chief Porter disapproves of the
construction of the agreement as IN.
tcrpretsd by Judge Raymond in the
Noah Foster case, which compe's pa
rents to give bonds for the legal
management Of the allotments OF the
minor Chi rem. Many of the ceople.
he says, a-p unable to make report
as required of the manner in which
they have handled TIE allotments OF
their minor children. and will have
to secure the services of an alto ney
to do this for them. This VII put
them to much expense. TIE allct-
mSnts Of orphans and incompetents,
he declares are in much more de-
p.orable condition, as no person ex.
cept a citizen can be made their
gu usriian. Consequently a large per
cnt OF them are rec living NJ bene-
fit whatever from their al'otments.
Tho message declares against the
prom.scuons leasing of Indian lands.
and especially homesteads. Il
believe it would be BETTER 1t says
ito secure tie passage of a law by
congress prohibiting the leasing Of
the homesteads for the same period
OF time that sale is prohibited. Then
all citizens will have at least a home
for that length OF time, and by that
time sufficient progress will have
been made by them to understand it's
value and through its proper uss OBJ
tain livelihood.
In pursuance of previous an.
nouncement Chief Porter expresses
his opposition in his message to ths
sale Of the residue lands, declaring
that such action will be a direct vio-
lation OF the agreement. He be.
lieves that each allottee should be
given enough of the residue lands to
equalize his alotments to the value
of $1,000.
Only brief mention is made In the
message of annulling the contract
with the Creek national attorney, A.
p. Murphy, which re sulted in an in
vestigation and the filing of two dam.
agc suits.
Several minor recommendation
are made in the message. One is
the re-account 'ng Of the expenditure
of the Creek monies by the depart
mcnt for purposes unauthorized by
law will be made with the department
SO as to secure an appropriation by
congress to cover It. It Is also
recommended that an appropriation
OF S75,00o be made by the council to
pay the outstanding Indebtedness OF
the nation.

| MUSKOGEE: The announcement
Of Indian Agent J. Blair Shoenfel
that hereafter he will place Indians
In immediate possession of their al
lotments, regardless of any leases
which land companies or individuals
may hold on the land, has aroused
widespread CONSERVATION among the
lease holders in the Choctaw and
Chickasaw nations. Already Mr.
Shoenfelt has received several letters
from large lease holders protesting
against the ruling, and declaring that
the new policy, If carried out, viii
bring them intio bankruptcy.
For the last two years government
officials and those having the good OF
the Indian at heart, have been casting
| greed Of the trust and land com
| panies. many of which have taken ad
vantage of the Indians ignorance o.

ground as soon as It was allotted, fol

cents an acre. A recent opinion OF
the assistant attorney general in
terpreting the supplementary agree
ment with the Choctaw and Chicka
saw nations has at last furnished Q
legal basis upon which the Indian
agent may act, and compel al lessee:
to get off of allotted Indian lands ant
prove the validity of their leases ir
the United States courts before the!
will be allowed to reoccupy them.
II shall begin at once to put tlis
new policy into operation" said Mr.
| Shoenfelt. In the Choctaw ant
Chickasaw nations, which contain
the richest farming lands In the In
dian Territory. nearly ninety per cen,
of the allotted lands are leased by
land companies and then sub.let tc
farmers. When the land offices were
opened many Of the land companies
herded together Euncn of Indian;
who were entitled to allotments anc
made arrangements to lease theil
lands even before they were assigned
to them. Agents of the companies, OF
'ru9tlers.' as they were called
watched their particular set of In
dians, and as soon as they received
! their allotments they took them tC
the Offices of the land companies
where leases were al filled out. Al
! that remained to be done was to sc
cure the signaturs and the Indians
had signed away the use of theil
valuable lands for five years for {
mere pittance. Most OF the graint
that was leased in the Choctaw ant
Chickasaw nations for from five t
fifty cents an acre could be rented
for ten times that amount.
There are more than forty lant
