NEW POSITION FOR G. R. PECK
Appointed Secretary Of the Osngc AIlOt-
Ing Commission

The Daily Oklahoman of Oklahoma CITY
on August I printed the following notice
Of an appointment that has just fallen to
G. r.. Peck, recently of this city:
Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 6.-Cassius r. Peck
Of this city. who recently resigned his po-
sition of assistant United States district
attorney, to-day received his notice that
a commission has been issued by the inte-
rior department. appointing him secretary
to the Usage alloting commission at a
salary just half again as much rs he re-
ceived as assistant attorney. The new
position is q promotion for Mr.. Peck,
made because of his good service to the
department of the interior while serving
as an assistant under United States At
torney Horace Speed.
Mr.. Peck's new position makes him the
legal adviser to the Usage commission, as
he is the only attorney in any way con-
nected with that board. Considering that
1t is the only political piece of pie. in con-
nrction with the alloting of the Osages, 1t
is a recognition that any Oklahoinan
might be hoastful of. The members of the
commission-Messrs. McChesney and Shep-
herd-are both employees of the interior
department., the third commissioner being
an Indian, Ex-Governor Black Dog of the
Usage tribe.
Mr.. Peck's new service begins in the
near future and will continue for approxi-
.mately two years. 1t places him in close
touch with all conditions in the Usage
country. with Zach separate tract of lane
and with all the people, both white and
Indian who live within the nation.
The duty of the above commission is to
divide the wealth of the Usage tribe OF
Indians among its individuals. In the
northeastern portion OF Oklahoma Terri
tory is the Usage nation, which is the
home of this tribe. containing over a mil
lion acres of land. These lands are rich
in oil and gas and the tribe, containing
about 1000 members, is supposed to be
worth $50, 900, 600.
1t is the business of this commission
under an act of Congress recently passed
to divide this wealth and land as equitably
as may be among the several members OF
the tribe while this land Is not subject
to sale yet it is subject TO lease and the
country Will rapidly fill up with farmers
who will lease their farms from the sew
eral Indians. Hitherto this Indian nation
has been divided into large cattle ranges
and leased to Texas cattlemen.

MR.. ~PROCTOR'S SPEECH.

1t was $50 when Mr.. Proctor arrived
by automobile from Richford. He was
greeted with great enthusiasm and after
music proceeded without any flourish TO
discuss the Issues by making a statement
or the duties of State officials to all pub
lie questions and policies. The persistent
circulation of slanderous and false stories
against the fair name of the State should
not be supported. He referred to the
statement persistently made that the
Vermont Marble company furnish so per
cent. Of the marble worked by the House
of Correction and stated they did not
furnish 20 per cent. That they furnished
them $500 worth last year. The real
question, however, should be was it at
an honest price and he defed any show
ing to the contrary.
He discussed the educational question
with particular reference to lettering tn,
schools n smaller places so as to equal
lie the advantages more nearly. He dis
cussed the matter of taxation and was
in favor of doing the best possible thing
to equalize its burdens. He closed will
the statement that If elected governor he
would endeavor to give the State the hes,
possible government OF an up-to-date
character.
Mr.. proctor's manner was that of an
honest open and above board man and
his speech was free from any PERSONAL.
ties or anything unbecoming the true
gentleman. There was a good number OF
ladies present and citizens of other towns
many of whom gave the speakers greet
ings at the close.
