According 10 the estimates Of
those in a position to know when
the Dawes Commission Completes
the work Of allotting lands to Tie
Indian citizens. at least 1000, 600
acres will remain i'll the Indian
Territory unallotted and unsegre-
gated. The great body Of this
will lie in the Chickasaw and Choc-
taw Nations. and thare will be no
surplus in the Cherokee Nation.
In the Creek Nation about $50,
900 acres of surplus land will be
left, and in the Seminole country
there are about lis, 900 acres. How
ever. the best land will be in the
southern part Of The Territory.
Much Of the land which will be
left unallotted in the Chickasaw
and Choctaw NatioEs is of the best
agricultural qualities. The con-
dition is due to the fact that for
various reasons, many allottees Sc
,lected their homesteads in the
mountainous section, many pre-
ferring the pine timber allotments
to those containing tillable soil.
While the unalloted lands in the
Creek and Seminole Nations will
be in the mountains, still much of
it is likely to prove valuable by
reason Of the ore it contains. How
ever, no provision has yet been
made for the disposal of the Semi
mole surplus lands. Congress will
probably attend 10 that early in
its next session.
Wait about two yeaas longer
The Greek surplus lands are,
by provision in the Indian appro-
priation bill, to be sold by the
sealed bid system.

ONE war LIMIT

AS there is little controversy
over the issunce of patents to
lands in the Choctaw-Chic kasaw
country, little discussian of the
effect Of such failure may lead TO
throwing some light on the sub
ject
Under the Atoka Agreement
and the Supplemental Treaty it wa
intended that each allottee should
receive his patent as soon as the
date Of contest expired. The
allottee was to appear at the land
office, make his selection, wait
for the contest period to exrire,
then receive an allotment certificate
to that effect and the patent was
to issue to him within reasonable
period. The allottees have done
4 this and have their allotment Ger.
tiicate alright, but 50 far no pat
ent, yet the reasonable time has
long since expired. In law the
patent issued on the very day It
seould have issued 50 far as the
rights Of theallottee are concerned.
The allottee having done every
thing that the law required Of
him when he appeared at the land
office and made his selections at
the expiration Of the contest pc

Ito a certain parcel Of land situated
in the Indian Territory, and under
the treaties it's to the absolute duty
of the governors to sign and deliv-
er to him a patent, not at their
convenience but within a reason
able time. This delivery of the
patents has not taken place, but
the decisions of our courts along
this line indicate that the Indian
citizeu has every right that he
would have, had he the actual pa
tent. Such being The case if the
one year time limit has expired
every citizen who has allotment
certificate dated over twelve
months ago can sell one fourth of
his surplus lands,
/ This means that forty acres of
each allotment of three hundred
and twenty acres of land is aliena-
Bile nnder the law. Forty acres of
land is no plantation but it is a
pretty good farm when you come
to think ofwhat can be produced
on in Que yeaa in the county.
To thosr seeking good farms in
the Choctaw-C Chickasaw countay
and especially in Pickins County
we feel safe in saying, yon can get
a good farm and get good title.
There is plenty of land for saleand

has to look it up.

ago 1t consisted only of a draft of ale

two meals day-dinner, ranging
from 9 o'clock in the morning in the

to I o'clock. Pepys, for instance, went

than half pint of wine or a dram of

In the other method two persons

In this way fasteners have become
good spoilers as rule. Not inlre-
ouently the spelling books were used
to the limit, but even little fellows
learned IL "by heart After a
certain time the dictionary was le-

The feature OF all this harangue
is that one Of these spelling matches is
going to be held in Logan next Friday
night at the Presbyterian church.
The ladies have the affair in charge
and are anticipating an enjoyable
evening. You 80, you don't have to
spell, but surely everybody will want
to get in the game. If you might find
out how little you do know about
spelling and then again you might
surprise somebody.
The ladies have arranged for some
light refreshments and will charge

FEVER THAT AFFECTS SAILORS.

and the bad ventilation of the ships is
responsible for many cases of the dis
ease. To this Is due the fact that the
proportion of sickness from this cause
is much greater among officers than 1t
is among the men. The cabins are
cramped. stuffy and unwholesome, and
no yentilating fans are provided. The
welfare and comfort of the people Who
have to live in our men.of-war receive
less attention from the architects who
design the vessels than anything else.
