INHERITED LANDS
Listed for Sale to the Highest
Bidder by Indian Agent
: at MuskOgee.

The Chieftain, as was announced
some time since, has been designated
as the official organ in the Cherokee
nation for the publication Of advertise
ments for the sale Of inherited Indian
lands. Agent Kelsey of the Indian
agency at Muskogee has just sent out
the first list of advertised lands. None
Of these lands are in the Cherokee
nation. Applications for sale Of
Cherokee lands have been received by
the agent, but the proofs of heirship
have been SO complicated, according
to Mr., Kelsey, thatno Cherokee appli-
cations have been completed as yet.
In view of the great interest in the
sale of these lands, The Chieftain will
each week publish the list of those
advertised for sale, whether they are
in the Cherokee or other nations. The
first list to be sent out by Agent
Kelsey is as follows:

The members of the senatorial in
vestigating committee arrived In
Vinita at 11:l0 on the Katy fast mail
from the north. They should have
come on the flyer, but their train out
of Kansas City was delayed, and miss
ed connections. The members Of the
committee now in Vinita are Senator
Clark Of Wyoming, chairman, Long Of
Kansas, Brandagee Of Connecticut
and Teller of Colorado. Senator Clark
Of Montana was delayed and will join
the committee at Muskogee,
AS soon as the train had arrived and
the senators had been greeted by the
reception committee, they were driven
TO the Commercial CT ub rooms, where
their sessions will be held. Senator
Clark, chairman Of the committee, as
soon as introd uctions had been made,
called the committee TO order, and
then, addressing those present, stated
chat inasmuch as the com mittee's
time was 50 limited, and as the most
they could hope to do would be to-
skim the surface, they had decided TO
employ every moment Of their time
while in the territory in endeayoring
to secure a grasp OF conditions here,
and they would therefore take no part
in any social functions. Everything
will be subornated to an honest effor
to reach wise and sane conclusions. "
"We are Ignorant" he said, 'of the
particular things that concern each
particular locality, and it is these
which we wish to learn. We have
given general invitation for every
body to appear before us. However
since our time is short, we request
that all matters be presented in as
concise a shape as possible, and that,
where there are several interested in
the same subject, spokesman be Sc
lected to act for ALL"

General Manager Preston of the vi

this morning with tie good news that
at last, after many delays, Secretary
Hitchcock has approved the right of

company is thoroly in earnest in it's
desire to have gas here at the earliest

northwest of town.

The county boundary question IS

Centralia and Alton and other as

On Tuesday the constitutional con-
vention will be convened at Guthrie.
The report that the convention would
be adjourned to another city was
started as joke, and was not meant
seriously; the convention will remain
in Guthrie. Just at present there is
a hot campaign for the presidency;
the leading candidate seems to be
w. Q, Hughes, young Oklahoma
City lawyer.
The next important office In the
gift Of the convention will be that OF
chairman Of the constitutional com
mttee, which will have general over
sight over the preparation of the con-
stitution. 9. N Haskell Of Musko-
gee IS making fight for this posi-
tion. U. S. Russell Of McAlester Is a
leading candidate for chief clerk; Mr..
Russell is editor of the McAlester
Capital.
The problems that are giving the
constitution-makers most trouble are
county boundaries and prohibition.
Having such tremendous majority
in the convention, the Democrats will
have to take all the praise Or blame,

commissioner Garfield, whom !
have known for years, called at my
office and said that he only wanted
the information from the packers in
order to. enable him to make q full
and complete report. l introduced
him to Mr.. Krauthon and MI. Roberts
and told them they could rely on what
Garfield said and that they could open
their books without fear as Garfield
was absolutely to be trusted and was
q gentleman. l was present at the
Chicago club and, heard their CONVEX
sation. Mr.. Garfield said that the in.
formation given him by the packers
would be used by his department. but
not by the department Of justice. Gar
field said that he wanted the co-opera-
ton of the packers and the best way
would be for the packers to cooperate
with him. That was about the sub
stance of the conversation as I re-
call it."

vorced and that the law was so'framed
that business men could feel free to
give information.
