Muskoeee, J.. T., Feb. 12.-People ov-
er in the Greek nation are beginning
to fear that unless the restrictions are
removed to some extent the sale Of
lands or some special inducement Of
fered to farmers from the states It
win be years before the country is
properly settled The restrictions are
held to be largely responsible for the
trouble and Secretary Hitchcock Is
blamed for them.
II is said a movement Is on foot on
the part of many white farmers
throughout the Creek nation not to
stay another year, but to leave the
country to be developed by the In
dians and The spectators, for whom
they are convinced the laws have been
formulated. Many OF these men came
here with the expectation that they
could secure the land at government
prices The continued changing of
the rules and regulations regarding
the sale of the lands left them entire
/ ly in the dark. and, pending a clarifi-
cation they rented property. The
poor crops Of last year. combined with
the almost prohibitive prices Of land,
has created in them an unrest and a
lfe ling that they could do bet er in

Muskogee, T. T., Feb. 15.-At no
time in the past thirty years say men
who have been here that long, have
the Indians Of the territory been in
such extreme need Of the necessities
of life as during the past winter Had
the weather been severe instead of
unusually mild it is asserted there
would have been iunumerable deaths
from starvation and cold.
Deputy United STAGES Marshal Hub
bard stated yesterday that there were
fewer meals sent to the prisoners
during the session Of court at Wewo-
ka last week than ever before. 1t is
customary for the relatives and
friends of the prisoners to see that
they are well cared for in the matter
of fooI during their trials This did
not occur during the Wewoka term

given by Mr. Hubbard is poverty OF
the Indians.

unition even had the game been more
plentiful. Instances of petty thieving
have been common near white com
munities but in the Indian settlements
this could not be resorted to because
all we're in like condition.
One government official ascribes
the NATURALIZATION of the lands as
the cause for the distress of the In
dians. He said:
THE Indians cannot accustom
themselves to the new mode of life
imposed on them under the new order
of things. In the old days, when all
the land was held in common. each
Indian had a few hogs, several head
of cattle ami probably a half dozen
ponies These ran at large on the
range or in the timber along the
streams near which the Indians cab
in was built. The natural increase to-
gether with strays which wandered in
and strayed with the Indians cattle

trading post and as game was plenti.

through a hard winter This has all
been changed He took out his allot
ment and then leased it together with
that of his wife and his children to
some stock man and failed to keen
enough for his own use. The amount
he received for the lease on the land
ranged from 10 to 25 cents an acre
not enough to buy coffee, sugar, sail
and clothing from the store. Year by

on this account there will shortly be

Will receive big price. The sheep men
here, however, claim that the strike
situation in Chicago will not effect the

State Chairman Visits Yakima and
Talks of Outlook Through State

lican state central committee, came over
from Seattle last Friday afternoon and
remained over night in the city. His
visit was largey of a personal nature,
but while here he conferred with State
Committeeman b. +. Barge and num-
Der of other prominent republicans. 4
Herald representative spent few mo-
ments with him at the Hotel Yakima and
duriug the course of the conversation he
said:
81 have recently completed tour OF
the entire state except the southwestern
portion and Yakima and kittitas toun-
ties. | am entirely satisfied with the
outlook for republican success. What
disaifection there was over the state tick
ct is rapidly disappearing and the
amount of it was grossly exaggerated by
the opposition press. The people, |
find, take with many grains OF allowance
the statements made by the Spokesman
Review and the Seattle Times there
now seems to be very little dissatisfaction
and am confident we will elect our en-
tire state ii, ket. We will get ma jority
east of the mountains, too, where it is
claimed by the Review that practically
all the republicans are against the tic
ket. have talked to the republicans of
this section, have had men out among
them getting the real sentiment and find
that we will come pretty near getting
the normal majorities."
Asked about the funds available for
the campaign, Mr.. Palmer said the
committee had very little money; that
it was going to be difficult to raise
enough for the expenses OF speakers
printing and other things necessary.
The railroads, he said, had not contri-
buted dollar to the committee and he
didn't expect them to. The nation al
committee would send no funds to the
state. 1t regards Washington as sure
for Roosevelt and will naturally expend
the funds in states that are considered
doubtful. Mr.. Palmer expressed him
self as satisfied with the outlook in this
county as conditions had been reported
to him.
