BRIGHT PROSPECTS.

The passage OF the Curtis bill lie
fraught with interest to the people OF
the Indian Territory and its effect will
be far reaching In removing the re
strctlons upon all Indians, save those
Of the full blood, and permitting them
TO dispose Of their surplus lands,
throws upon the market at once thous-
ands Of acres Of the finest agricultu-
tural land in the world II is conceded
that the lands embraced in the Choc.
taw and Chickasaw nations are the
best in the Indian Territory for farm
ing and grazing purposes. lhe surplus
lands Of each member of these two
tribes is 100 acres. These lands will
find a ready sale and quickly pass
into the hands of industrious farmers,
who will improve them.
We predict an unprecedented rush
Of immigration and anticipate n most
remarkable growth in population in
the towns and cities as well as in
the rural districts.
The climate OF the Indian Territory
is IDEAL Corn, cotton and wheat arc
the principal products. Fortunes have
been made in growing fruits. Cattle
are easily raisn ana always find a
ready market. Coal and asphalt have
been found in inexhaustible quantities.
Lead, zinc and ere have been dis.
covered. Natural gas and oil flow from
innumerable wells These are but few
OF the many good things that can be
found in the Indian Territory.
We welcome the new comers and
invite them to the Chickasaw nation
and Ardmore.

Mr.. Ledbetter, at the Democratic

freight rate on car of coal to Ard
more from Indian Torrftbry mines
was soc a ton more than to Kansas
City and St Joe. We have a railroad,
o part of a great system, that leads
direct TO the Indian Territory coal
fields and owns and controls many OF
the best mines Kansas City and st.
Joe are Ave times farther from the
coal mines than Ardmore. II appears
that this Is an unjust discrimination
and the Commercial club should call
tho attention OF the railway officials

the rate reduced. thereby securing
for Ardmore cheaper coal. A reduction
OF so cents a ton in freight rates
