FEWER APPLICATIONS FOR RE-

Favorable Action if People Work
Together.

lining applicants for removal Of re-
stricticns, had only two cases be-
fore him yesterday. He is just
completing one of his regular tours
Of the territory and he states that
there has been a great falling of in
the number Of applications. The
people take the view. "said he,
that the next congress will pass a
bill removing the restrictions and
and they can get 1t quicker In this
way than by applying to the depart
ment. This Is a mistake, however,
for the department is now mp on
this kind of work and action can
be had on any application within
IS days"
Speaking of the probable action Of
Congress on this matter Judge
Cusey said "If, when the Senate
investigating committee comes
down here, the people will forget
politics for while and make pro.
per effort to present the matter !
believe that the next congress will
pass a bill entirely removing the
restrictions on the surplus lands Of
mixed bloods and probably from
all except 40 acres OF the home
stead. And it will doubtless be
provided that the full bloods can
have their restrictions removed
when it is shown that they are
competent. The people of the terri.
itory should get together and agree
upon what they wanted in order to
present the matter 10 the COM
