While there is a constant CRY

to choose man to oversee the
repair and construction of roads in
that district. How many of them
do IT. In several Districts the
county commissioners are forced to
appoint men to this position and
have to take whoever is willing to
accept the position. If the people
want good roads so badly why do
they not make 1t an issue in each
district to, elect men who are
thoroughly qualified to ell this
position and who will labor with
this end in view instead of taking
the county money for work half
performed or wholly neglected. In
many districts the roads are never
touched during the bad time of
the year but in the summer
scraper or two of dirt is dumped
into hole that is mire hole in
winter and spring and it is left to
get fully as bad the next season.

A Smooth Game
An Endless Chain of Graft Work
ing Upon Oil Spectators.

Muskogee, 1T, May I9.-From
what has been written and said it
would seem that the sources Of
graft were exhausted in the In
dian Territory, but not so. There
seems 10 be a second crop coming
on and the negroes and Indians
are the "grafters. One of the
latest is the oil graft, which is
worked in the Cherokee nation.
A negro files upon piece of oil
land. Two or three oil men are
waiting for him when he comes
out the door and Immediately close
deal for an oil lease by giving a
cash payment. Negro No. / goes
away and counts his money and
negro No. goes in and files a con
test on the same land. No. 1
comes back a little later and re.in-
quishes his filing on The allotment
contested and No. ? them makes
deal with an oil company and gets
the cash. Negro No. ; appear S
and files a contest, and so on down
the line until the allotment is
Spotted" by the oil companies.
Another graft worked by the
negroes is selling land and having
the deed signed by parties other
than the rightful owner. This is
Of course a penitentiary offense,
but il is done, and the person
who pays his money for farm and
finds he has a fraudulent deed,
finds little consolation in sending
some one to the penitentiary.
