Land Prices To HsmaIn
No Increase ia the Creek Nation,
Interior Department
Says.

Muskogee, I T., Feb. ~ The
Dawes commission has received
notice from the Secretary of the Ii
terror that the increase made in the
appraisement Of lands in the Greek
nation on account Of the existence
Of coal in large quantities, which
was recommended by the commits
ion, has been disapproved by the
department
When the allotment Of land in
the Greek nation was made it was
not known that there was coal in
commercial quantities in the Greek
nation When the geolog ical sur
vey was made for the segregation
Of Che Choctow coal lands the Of
dcer IA charge, at the request of
the commission; also made sur
vey and maps Of the lands in the
Greek nation which were coal
lands.
This information was compiled
and sent to the department with
the recommendation that where an
allottec had taken land which was
shown 10 be underlaid with coal the
appraisement on his land should be
raised to the maximum-S6.5 50 per
acre. In the meantime, the allot-
tees were apprised of the fact that
while the original sppraisement Of
Their land was below the maximum,
1T might be raised on account Of the
coal.
There were several thousand
acres Of This land, and the question
was one Of great importance to the
Greeks, for each allottee is entitled
to 100 acres Of land that is worth
So 50 per acre, and if he gets
cheaper land he is entitled to more
OF It,
The coal land increase would
have brough hundreds Of allotment
islhatwere graded at not more than
IS per acre up TO the maximum,
and this would have left a good
sized balance to be divided equally
among the members of the tribe.
Secretary Hitchcock, acting on
she ophaoa Of the Attorney Gener-
a decided that the change in the
appraisemeut could not be made
after allotment ard if an allottee
