There are about 900 enrolled citizens in the Chero
kee nation, and they 100000 acres Of land
Every citizen thinks there is COAL oil or gas under his
piece of property and he has got tenderfee think
ing the same way There plenty of Indians willing
to lease the WaldorfAstora, and plenty of suckers"
willing to take such lease and pay big money for IT,
When speculator promoter wants to get an oil or
gas lease n desirable field he goes about the bus
ness in this way, if the land is public domain; He col
ecs bunch of Indians takes them to the property and
familarizes them with it Then he takes them to Tah
leyuah and runs them through the land office When
they out he catches them and gets their signature
to the desired leases But at this point often trouble
arises Some other peculator may be on hand with an
offer OF money for the leases This called steal

More OF the history OF the trouble at the Cherokee
Land office referred to in yesterdays issue of the Chief
tan has been learned the facts in the case appear
TO be about as follows.
On May ?, 1904 when the Cherokee Land office opened
for business there great rush for oil land and the
people who held return numbers at the door asking
admission. When the doors were finally thrown open,
those who held return numbers were admitted at the
north door and given return numbers as they ap-
paed by turns and after the numbers were issued the
'rst were called 1t seems that there were dozens of
people after what is known the Hazerg place lying
in section Immediately north of the town Of Bartles
VILE and on account Of OF the land officials holding
that land in the Delaware segregation could not be filed
and for other reasons this tract of land was not filed
on on May 2, 1904
Tams Bixby, chairman of the commission came over
from Muskogee the evening Of May and conference
Of the commission held and ruling made as to the
Delaware segregation and citizens were permitted to file
on land in the Delaware segregation
On May 3, 1904 Arthur r. Chambern of Vinita ap-
piled for twenty of land in section one north of
Bartesvie and at that time it was unalotted land and
he was permitted to file on it, Chamberlin entitled
to file this land for the that he owned the i'm
provemens on it, having purchased from other par
ties, and having fenced the balance of it himself
1t noticed that Silas D. Ross wascaed repeatedly
May and failed to respond bat the 4th Pess ap
peared and wanted to Jump the HazelTig place He
had no Improvements of any kind character the
land but desired to make the first fling 50 that the
commission rejected the Hazelrgs then his filing would
be the first on the land and he would get it,
When Ross learned that the land had been fled ca the
day before by Chamberlin he made the claim that he
held No y and Chamberlin held p and that he could
not file on May because the socaled ruling Of the com
mission would not permit him do 50 Ross then fled
lot Of land for his George Ross including the
land Chamberln had filed on and did 50 on May
After Ross had finished filing, Bruce c. JONES' chief
clerk and Homer Needles allotment clerk, concluded
that because Ross held No. y he ought allowed to
file ahead Of Chamberlin Jones directed that Cham
berlins allotment be held in suspense and that Ross
filings be placed ahead of Chamberlins
The Ross filing records have been badly mutulated and
changed all the dates erased where MAY 1904"
appears the figure "4' being erased and figure 2 in
serted making the whole read May ?, 1904"
The notary's official certificate has been changed ana
now reads subscribed and sworn to before me this
second day Of May 1904 when the truth Of the matter
is Ross subscribed his to the papers on MAY and
this part is not denied by Jones But the chief clerk
now tries to hide behind mosquito bar cloak by saving
that it was mistake of the oce that prevented Ross

WHAT DID HE MEAN2
{ From the New York Sun. }

The Democratic candidate for Vice
President likewise admires the st.
Louis platform This is not surpris-
ing, for he had a hand in making it,
although, we hope, not a decisive
part in the formulation of it's doct-
rines.
But what in the world does Mr..
Henry Gassaway Davis mean wheL
he says that the st. Louis 'declara-
tion of principles" is sane, safe and
sound? Here is one of those princi-
pies:
1--WE denounce protection as a
robbery of the many to enrich the
few"
Does Mr.. Davis believe that is a
sound, safe and sane principle? If he
does, what did he mean when he de-
clared to the contrary in his last inn
portant speech as a United States
Senator! 1t will be found on page
1867 of Volume II of the congress
sional Record:
II am for tariff that will yield
sufficient revenue for the economical
and proper expenditures of the
government, and in that tariff l be-
lieve incidental protection to our
own industries is right and proper.
1t has been so regarded from the
foundation of the government; it
ought to be so now"
How can it be so regarded now, il
protection is the robbery of the
many TO enrich the few, as is de-
clared in exactly those words by the
platform which Mr.. Davis admiring-
ly regards as sane safe and sound?
Amador ledger., 1904-09-23

From this it will be seen that not
withstanding the reduced levy for
road purposes of 8 cents, by the
wiping out of the special road tax,
the amount that will be raised for
local government falls only $44 short
of the amount raised by property
tax last year, The sweeping away
of the special road tax is a cause for
congratulation. 1t is hoped that it
will never again be resorted to in
Amador county. We have had an
experience of this levy for many
consecutive years, and while it can
not be denied that the main roads
have shown some improvement by
reason of this special expenditure, it
must be admitted that the improve
ment is not such as to justify con-
tinuance of this lax. But that
which will strike the Amador tax
payers from the above showing is
that all departments of the local
government are on the upgrade in
the matter Of running expenses.
Increase of the assessment roll
brings no relief in the shape of re-
duced levies. Many will ask, why
is this? The change in the mode of
compensation Of township officers
from fees to salaries will account for
the additional amount required in
the current expense fund this year.
That explanation, however, does not
explain. The question still remains:
How comes it that almost every
change made i'll the laws touching
Amador county is in the direction of
piling up additional burdens upon
the people? Is it not high time to
take different tack? Is there no
room to display craftsmanship in
the reduction of governmental ex-
penses? The truth is, situated as
Amador county is, the tax rate ought
not to exceed, with a proper revision
Of our revenue laws, $1.5O on the
500, even with the assessment roll
as it now stands. We are free to
say that every dollar paid by the
property owners over and above
that rate, is a tribute to ill-digested
laws. Every boost of the assess
ment roll amounts to a deeper dive
into the pockets of the property
holders. 1t may be that other coun-
ties are passing through the same
unwholesome experience 1t may be
also true that the state government
is also afflicted with the same disease
of extravaganza and misadiusted
laws. But even so, this tends to
make the situation all the more
serious.
