The department of justice was Off
cially advised that as the result of the
investigation into alleged frauds in
connection with the government of
the Chickasaw Nation, Indian Terri
tory, Treasurer and Governor John
ston, of the Chickasaw Nation, Unit
cd States Marshal Colbert, Banker
Purdom and Attorneys Mansfield, Nc
Murray and Cornish and others have
been indicted for reissuing school and
general fund warrants of the Chick
asaw Nation. The school warrants
were issued in lieu of immediate
money payments for various educa-
tional purposes. A considerable
amount of these had accumulated and
congress at its last session appropri-
ated $33O,O00 of the Chickasaw Ma
tion's funds to meet their payment.
The estimate made at the interior
department is that so far as is now
known about 100000 Of these school
warrants, have been fraudulently re-
issued.

As a result Of a recent investigation
of the tree growth along the river
from Cairo, Ill, to New Orleans, the
bureau of forestry of the department
of agriculture has issued a report
showing that on the narrow strip in
side Of the ievees cottonwood can be
grown with almost no care and can
be harvested when the trees are from
35 to 40 years old. This wood now
has a recognized place in the market
for the manufacture of boxes, for fur
niture backs, washboards, etc. The bu-
reau recommends the application of
more conservative numbering to the
lands behind the levees. The whole
question of the profitable management
of these forest lands lies within the
control Of the owners, the bereau re-
port says. "Instead Of reaping one
harvest as they now do, it would be
almost as easy to- secure successive
crops so long as the lands remain
available for farming. When that
time comes the forest must give way
permanently.
