The annual report OF the Dawes
commission on IT'S work for the five
civilized tribes Of Indians In the Ind
Ian territory which has been made
public is a general review Of the parti-
tion and allotment OF the lands OF the
Indians during the past six years.
"The time consumed in the change
from the old system to the new" the
commissioners say, ''has been most
irksome peariod to the people OF the
Indian territory, and the commission
is not unmindfuI OF the fact that to
many candid observers the execution
Of the task has seemed 10 be both
tedious and expensive
While admitting that criticism was

say that IL is not Just, and to show
that the time has been well occupied

Every adult or head OF family In
a total OF more than 2O0,0oO citizens
and claimants was personally examin-
ed aud his previous tribal record was
looked up. or this number and IN
this way more thon 10000 have been

how a less careful course Of procedure

acres or quarter OF quarter
OF section, was as small a
division as could reasonably be
made the subject OF personal inspec-

the unit IN determining the grade and
value of lands; but even this required
the locating, inspecting, classifying
and yaluing Of nearly 50o,0O0 tracts Of
land.
AS for Safeguarding the occupancy
and improvement rights Of the people,
their houses, barns, fences and other
improvements had to be located By
actual surveys aud with minute
accuracy Perhaps hardly 4 man IN
the territory knows the sectional d.

ments, and hence there was no source
OF accurate information respecting
these matters except the surveys and
location OF improvementsmade by the
commission.

Myra Keily's Sudden Rise.

Myra Kelly's rapid rise to wide pop
ularity as an author in less than
years time is remarka BILE occurrence
in the publishing world, but the read
ing of her stories is its own proof of
the eternal fitness of her success.
Into "The Land of Hearts Desire"
Miss Kelly takes her little company
of East Side school children, in the
July McClure's. Out of the tenements,
away from brick walls and stone
streets, these children of the poor
journey to Central Park, and the story
of their experience there, in this un-
discovered country in rare delight, Is
refreshing, humorous, and, at times,
pathetic. The struggle for car.fare,
the quest of the "rubber-necked boat
BIRDS" the Joy of discovery, beauty
and novelty and the final disappoint-
ment are all sympathetically describ-
ed, and mark one of Miss Kelly's best
efforts.
All the pathos of child life in New
York's crowded tenement district is
reflected in this so'iloquy of one of
these children: "The Central Park
is awful pretty, awful pretty. likes
we should live here all time"
