Once A BIG
TRADE POINT
VILLAGE OF WEER NEAR BR0K-
EN- ARROW A QUAINT SPOT.
OLD HISTORICAL TOWN
Was Gathering Place of the Old Greek
Indians Who We're Attracted by
It's Extreme Beauty.

Six miles southwest of Broken Ar
row is the little village of Weer, one
of the quaintest places in Indian Ter
ritory, if not in the whole Southwest
II lies in the heart of an oak forest,
whose sylvan grandeur has not yet
been marred by the hand of man, but
is almost as primeval in its density
and shadiness as when the town was
first established, some fifty years ago.
Weer was once an important trading
post and favorite gathering place of
the old Greek Indians, who were at
tracted there not alone for the pur-
pose of barter, but by the extreme
beauty of the natural surroundings,
which appealed to the Creeks, who
have always been lovers of the beau
tiful in nature, more so than most of
the aborigines,
The town was named after j. II.
Weer, who yet lives, and is now one
of the wealthiest farmers in that
section of the Creek nation, owning
1000 acres of first-class farming land.
3 As the majority of the townsmen are
tenants Of Mr.. Weer, the village is
called "one mans town"
Mr.. Weer is an adopted Creek citi-
zen and is one of the very few white
men to be thus honored. Captain Sew
ers of Muskogee and the late Captain
Belcher, of Okmulgee, were adopted
into the tribe, but such instances have
been rare among the Creeks.
He served a number of terms in the
Creek council as a member of the house
of Warriors, and once was elected to
the House of Kings, or the senate
body.
A visit to the village of Weer will
carry You back ON mental journey to
Irving's Sleepy Hollow, and you rath-
er anticipate hearing the crack OF
the heavy balls which greeted the ears
of Rip Van Winkle when he came up
on the strange looking foresters play
ing the old fashioned game of nine
pins.

California Says Keep Jap Question
Out Of Congress.

0GA " NNttSt~NSs
California's contention in the Jap
anese question has been incorporated
in statement of facts to be submitted
for consideration in the action contem-
plated by the government to test the
states right to pass statutes separat-
ing Japanese attending public schools
from white pupils. The state law pro-
viding for the establishment of schools
for Indian, Monaghan and Chinese is
cited, and also the provision that UNI
til these schools are established the
children of races mentioned must not
be denied admission to regular schools.
The separate schools are to be con-
Quoted on the same plan as schools
for white children.
This statement, with other papers
in the case, has been forwarded to
Washington for the attorney generals
consideration.
In a general way, the terms upon
which the state wants the Japanese
question adjusted is summed up as fol-
lows:
The federal government to enact a
new treaty with Japan excluding Jap
anese coolie labor from the United
States and Hawaii and American labor
from Japan.
Japan contract labor importations to
cease.
Equality in public schools, with sep
arate schools for adult Japanese de-
string primary and grammar school
training.
A decision by the United States SUI
preme court on the states right to
pass provisions preventing amalgama-
ton of races and other school laws.
The federal government to decide
the right to franchise for the Japan
csc, California suggesting only federal
cognizance of Japanese class distinc-
lions in passing the law.
Keep the question out of the hands
of congress.
