SOME GREAT CHANGES.
Ponca Reservation Shows Many I'm.
proNements for. the Last Year.

Guthrie, o. T., Jan. 16--J II. Lewis in
the Chilocco Farmer and Stock Grower,
says the Ponca reservation viewed today
in the light of year past holds some
remarkable changes. Due east of the
agency as far as the range of territory
was discernable there lay one unbroken
stretch of prairie absolutely devoid Of
habitation. Today the plain is dotted
with the homes built for the Indians by
lessees of their ailotments and still more
substantial improvements of the white
settlers who have bought dead Indian al
Iotments and are making their home
steads A great deal of building is in
sight and if reports are true the coming
spring and summer season promise to
bring to light scores of houses upon the
reservation in the immediate vicinity Of
the agency. The farming class to a man
have enjoyed unusual returns for their
labors upon the lands of the Ponca In
dian reservation and with one more such
good year as the one just closed many
claim they viii be on the sunny side Of
Prosperity road. From personal observa-
ton I am satisfied that no community in
the world boasts of a better class of men
and women than those fast peopling and
settling in Noble county. With such ma
terial TO build with the new state of Ok
lahoma should become one of the fore
most communities in the United States.

There has been renewed talk recently in
regard to the selection of a Republican
member of the national committee, vice
Mr.. Grimes, who, it is understood, will
not be a candidate for reelection Among
others suggested is Governor A J. Seay of
this town. Quite number of leading
Republicans of the territory, including
Flynn. have openly expressed their pref
erence for him. The Free Press has con-
suited Governor Seay in regard to his at
titude upon this subject and is authorized
to say for him that he does not desire it
to be understood that he is an aggres-
sive candidate for this honorable Office,
and he is not willing to be put in an at
titude Of hostility to other candidates.
He feels that the Republicans of the ter
ritory are familiar with his character,
personally, politically. and officially, and
it is for them to decide this matter and
should he be the choice of the party for
national committeeman he would esteem
it great honor and would give his best
services to the duties Of the Office, at all
times, placing the welfare Of the whole
party above all other considerations, be-
lieving that by so doing he would best
serve the interests Of all the people. This
