Chicago, Ill, June William
E. Curtis, writing to the Chicago
Record Herald from Muskogee, 1.

The people of the East have very
little comprehension of the condi-
tions of things out in Indian Ter
ritory According to the popular
impression it is a wilderness,
sparsely settled by savages, par
TALLY civ .iized half breeds and a
few white adventures and escaped
criminals. That never was the
:, case, although the territory has
had more than its share of rascals
and Adventures, and it is not en-
tirely without them yet. Today as
you ride through from the Kansas
! to the Texas boundaries of any of
the railroads you will see very lit
tie difference from either of those
states and will not realize when
you have crossed the border line.

ing the week that l have spent in

none at the railway stations, or on
the streets, and remain in their
villages aw nm the railroads,
or on their I, and furthermore
they are the 3, .(lest class of the
population. There are no blanket
Indians and no wigwams. Every
body wears ordinary dress.
The Negroes seem to be very in
dustrious. | have noticed many
colored women working in the
field plowing and hoeing corn
and most of the mechanical work
is done by Negro men. About
one-fifth of the colored population
are descendants of slaves brought
here from Georgia, North Carolina
Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee
and Louisiana. at the time of the
great migration. The remainder
are immigrants from the same
states and from Texas and Mis-

come here by the unusual oppor-
tunities and advantages offered

To THE PREss:-Pursuant to the
regular appointment under the
Provisions of the Constitution, the
Western Negro Press Association
of the United States of America is
hereby called to convene at Musko-
gee 1. T., in its Ninth Annual Ses-
sion, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, September Goth, 2Ist and
22nd, 1905.
All Proprietors, editors, man.
ayers and correspondents West of
the mississippi River are eligible
to membership in said association
and are urged to be present.
We cordially extend an invita-
ton to the members of the fratern-
ity and the friends of the news
papers in general throughout the
country, to meet with us at Mus
kogee to consider those questions
so vital to the welfare of the race
in the United States of America.
We also extend and expect all
ministers and college professors,
business men and professional
men ard women to join us in this
coming meeting.
Recent developments show the
need of action on the part of the
intelligent and thoughtful men,
bers of the race and the Press

doubtedly take the lead. The of

can dispose of their allotments for
any price and at any time they
like. This is singular anomaly,
because. the former masters are
not permitted to sell without con-
sent of the Secretary of the Inter-
ior.
Some of the richest men in the
territory have Negro blood in them.
A Muskogee banker told me
that he knew of twenty five or
thirty Negroes in that town who
are worth $25,000 or more, and he
named eight, one after another,
who were worth more than $4,000.
He mentioned one colored man
who constantly kept a cash bal
ance of from $1,000 to $4,000 in
his bank. The richest Negroes
use the white natiopel banks for
obvious reasons, but there are two
savings banks in Muskogee exclu-
sively managed by colored people
for the benefit of the poorer men,
bers of their race, and both of
them seem to be doing good bns-
mess. Both have few white de-
positors.

the crowd in the courtroom cheer

Brazilian naval officers from the

dinner. Objections to their pres

known, one of the diners going so
far as to leave his table. The
clerk assured the protestants that
the gentlemen were of Spanish de-
