One of the questions submitted
to the voters Of Cherokee county
at the recent election was the
adoption or rejection of a hedge
law to regulate the height and
care of hedge fences along the
public highways. The PROPOSE
tion was adopted by a vote of
1860 for and l0l7 against, or a
total OF 1886 cast, about one half
of the vote cast for governor.
The new hedge law specifies the
height of all hedges along the
public highways as not over S
feet, with the privilege of one
hedge tree at a distance of not
less than 16 feet apart. All
hedges must be kept trimmed &C
cording to law as found in sec
tions 3116, 3117, and 311S of the
statutes of Kansas.
For the benefit of those unfam-
iliar with the law as adopted by
this county the law is given be-
low.
Section 3116-That gil owners
of real estate in any county in
the state of Kansas shall keep
all the hedge fences along the
public highway cut and trimmed
down to not over five feet high,
except trees not less than sixteen
feet apart and hedges necessary
as a protection to orchards, vine
yards, and feed lots;. said feed
lots not to extend more than forty
rods. All brush cut from said
hedge shall be cleaned up and
removed or burned.
Section 3117-All owners OF
real estate shall cut the weeds in
the public highways. along said
real estate before they go to seed.
Section 311S-In any county
where the provisions of this act
shall be adopted Chat is the
county hedge law any owner of
real estate failing to comply with
its provisions, it shall be the duty
of the road overseer in the dis
trict in which said real estate is
located, to give thirty days no
tice to the owner of said real
estate, or his or her duly author
lied agent, and upon his or her
failure to comply with this act,
the said overseer shall cause to
be cut, said hedge not more than
five feet high, as provided in this
act;and the cost of the cutting said
hedge shall be reported to the
county clerk of said county and the
same entered on the tax rolls
against said real estate and col
lected and paid over to the treas
urer of the proper township.

make an allotment to each and
every member of the tribe, and
demand the government to issue
patents to the individual, which
it as a council designated, and
this right was acknowledged and
ratified by the United States
congressional acts as quoted.
However, il was deemed wise
and proper as a protection to the
members of the tribe, that the
Indians at that time should not
be allowed to sell their lands I'M
til later when they became more
valuable, and at the request OF
the careful and far-sighted men
| of the tribe, who had the adj
ministration of the Quapaw In
dams in their hands, asked that
the government in issuing pat
ents to the individuals insert the
condition permitting them to
alien their lands only after Is
years. Mark you, this was not
done as a right the government
had to insert this condition, but
it was done at the solicitation
and advice Of men who looked
out for the welfare of the indi-
vidual Indian when this allot-
ment was made, for then the
tribe held its lands absolutely
free and clear of any and all in
cumbrances of whatever nature,
from the time the treaty was
made in 1888 to the time the in
dividual allotment was made.
Later, in the year 1897, the
other little nations, Peorias, OF
tawas, Modocs, Shawnees, Wy
andottes, Senecas and Miamis,
which are included in what is
known as the Quapaw Agency
edo not confuse the Agency with
the Quapaw Reservation; while
the latter is included in the
former, still the law asked for
and passed in 1897 does not in
any way concern or affect the
Quapaw Indians in the Quapaw
Reservation proper, felt that
they wanted the privilege of
leasing their lands for agricul-
tural and mining purposes, and
at their solicitation congress
passed the following act:
60 STAT, u, LEASE PERMITTED
THAT the allottees of land
within the limits of the Quapaw
Agency, Indian Territory, are
hereby authorized to lease their
lands, or any part thereof, for a
term not exceeding three years
for farming or grazing purposes,
or ten years for mining or bust
ness purposes. This act has
been in many cases construed as
to apply to the Quapaw Reserve
and the Quapaw Indians, when
in fact it does not, but only
applies 10 the Indians In the
smaller nations In the Qua
paw Agency, and not to the
Quapaw Indians, who held their !
patents previous to this act.
The United States Court of
Appeals for the Indian Territory |
has recently held that where the |
Quapaw Indians have received
patents for their lands they are
free to enter into such contracts
in reference to this land the same
as if they were white. The only
restrictions is that they cannot
sell their land for a period of
twenty-five years after the patent
is issued, the court holding in
the opinion as follows;
''There is no prohibition
against the Quapaw Indians leas-I
ing their lands which they hold
