Muskogee, I. T, May 1S.-The progress
sive party of the ~Chickasaw nation, which
has just nominated McLish, a bull blood
Chickasaw, for the last chief to settle up
the affairs of the nation, has gone on rec
ord as favoring the sale of the coal lands
in the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations to
the United States government at tho
actual value. The party further declares
that the government should buy these
lands and then hold the money as a credit
of the Indian territory for Il permanent
school fund when 1t becomes a state.
These coal lands are estimated to be
worth between SOS, COG, 900 and $4,000 900. The
segregation is to be sold under provisions
made by congress and the receipts accrue
to the benefit of the nations. The plan of
the Chickasaws, IL carried out, would en-
dow the new state with the most mag
niticent school fund of any state in the
United States.
