Frank |. Campbell. assistant al
toruey general for the interior de
pariment, has recently given an op
inion that the school lands Of Okla
homa have passed to The new state
regardless of whether they contain
minerals OF not. This opinion. TO-
gether with the provisions made in
the enabling act. settles permanently
the status Of the school lands in the
territory, and especially those that
are valuable because of their mineral
resources.
The enabling act holds that when
ever any part of these lands are
valuable for any minerals the state
may lease them for mineral purposes
and that they shall not be sold prior
10 January /, 1915. This provision
was a result Of the fight made on the
Warren amendment to the statehood
bill, which provides for mineral en-
tries on such school lands.
In regard 10 the matter, Secretary
Wenner, of the school land leasing
board, said today:
Even if the frst state legisla-
ture or any following il prior to 1915
shall vote to sell the school lands
Of the territory, yet under the pro-
visions Of the statehood bill these
lands containing minerals could not
be sold prior to 1915"
The territory will secure no school
lands when the big pasture Of Red
river are opened 10 settlement this
fall. However" said Mr.. Wenner,
We were not expecting 10 get any
school lands there. When the Kiowa
and Conanehe country was opened
to settlement in 1908, the big pas
ture was reserved for the use of the
Indians the same as an Indian al
lotmeni. This was the view taken
by the school land Teasing board and
when the school lands were selected
in the Kiowa and Comsnche eoun
try the board also took in addition
the amount of land which they lost
by the pasture being reserved as an
allotment. Therefore the territory,
instead of losing any school land
in the pasture, has, in fact, had the
lands since 1901, and has been receiv-
ing rents on them.
The only land which the territory
may take in the big pasture will be
for bridge or road or railroad pur-
poses.

WILL TAKE A STRAW VOTE
Canvass 10 be Made To Determine Po-
itical Faith Of Indians.

Bliss, Oklahoma, August ga
straw vote Of all the Indians who
will gather on the l0l ranch on Sep
tember 18th and 10th TO attend the
celebration Of the tt6rteenth anniver-
sary of the opening Of the Cherokee
Strip is 10 be taken to determine
what political party is the most pop
ular with the red men. There will
be thousands of Indians gathered on
the ranch at that time and they are
planning several big pows. The idea
of holding a vote came from poll
tieian at Guthrie, who is said to have
certain political aspirations and he
desires TO see what he may expect in
the way of support from the Indians
who live within the borders of the
new state.
Ii will require some time and con-
siderable patience to get anything
like an accurate vote and one that
will be useful in determining the facts.
The questions vii have to be ex-
planned to the Indians and these are
bound to create arguments among the
members of the different tribes. 1t
is not expected that all the tribes
will vote alike Some have grievances
against one or the other Of the big
parties concerning some of their af-
fairs which have been handed by the
interior departments of the different
administrations.
The result of this straw ballot will
be wathched with interest at least by
the politicians all over Oklahoma.

WOULD LEASE
MINESAL LAND
SCHOOL FUND Is LOSING GOOD
SOURCE OF REVENUE.
ASKS FOR AN OPINION
Leasing Of Lands Referred to Law
d epsrtnent-VLuable Cleve-
land Land.

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. H.-Mueh in
terest is being manifested in regard
to what action the Oklahoma school
land board is going to take on the
leasing of school lands for mineral
purposes, and a food of letters is
being received by Fred L. Wenner,
secretary of the board. The state
hood bill provides that these lands
shall be leased by the state govern
ment, and the wording Of the provi-
sion has created doubt as to whether
the leasing can be done by the ter
ritorial officials before statehood. The
matter has been referred TO Attorney
General Cromwell for a decision and
has also been taken up with the de-
partment at Washington.
"The technical wording of the en-
abhng act might be construed to
mean that only state officials should
lease the school lands for mineral
purposes" said Mr.. Wenner, in dis
cussing the matter. "But it was evi-
dently the intention Of the trainers
of the bill that the lands should be
leased Immediately after the passage
of the act.
by leaving the mineral school
lands undeveloped the territory is
losing many thousands of dollars
every year, and it is to the best in
terests Of the people that they be
leased at once. The school land leas-
ing board, while a territorial organ
ization, is doing work every day in
behalf Of the new state government,
such as the taking up Of school lands
for state educational institutions, as
provided in the statehood bill. have
no idea as to what the decision of
the legal department will be, but !
think that if the intentions of the
trainers of the statehood bill We're
followed, the present board would be
authorized to lease the mineral school
lands"
The most valuable Of the mineral
school lands in Oklahoma, is, Of
course, in the Cleveland oil fields,
where at least one section is in prov
en- oil territory. Several efforts
made to "jump" that section by
oil operators during the spring, in

death knell of the individuality of

tory in the establishment Of state
hood Their is not much left for us
other than the privilege of voting.
The white leaves little that is loose
lying around"
So spoke Chief Pleasant Porter, of
the Greeks or Muskogees, at the Mid
and hotel last night. He is world
famous, as probably the most ad-
vanced thinking Indian of the pres
ent day. His 65 years sit lightly on
him. His face is strong, marked with
lines of character and expression.H His
eyes are clear, direct and brave.

limited in power, and bring it into

1t is all a great process of assimila-
ton. great act Of wiping us out.
We will disappear, win be lost. And
this entrance into the territory of
the most advanced form Of civilized
government hastens the end"
He sat moodily still for awhile,
looking out of the window over the
street below, where the brassy clang-
ing of street car warning bells, the
rattle Of hurriedly driven wagons,
the noisy jarring land bwhng of
voices pitched in all keys, the mill
ions of noises mingled into one great
inharmonious fusilade Of sound
where the insistent glare of the elec-
trie lights was radiated and shed by
the ever rising dust into a panaramo
of incongruous effects, where tall
and squatty buildings, like so many
store boxes, robbed nature Of its
beauty.
He pointed his hand out of the
window, swept his arm in a semi
circle. but still said nothing.
Suddenly rousing himself and shak-
ing off the spell, he laughed in soft
musical notes, but in them was the
sting of regret-hardly bitterness
for he knows better.

REPUBLICAN ROW IN BROOKLYN.
WoGdrun Desires the Retirement OF Dewey
and other Odell Sympathizers.

Lieut. Gov. Timothy J.. Woodruff, leader
of the Republican organization in Brooklyn,
has decided that some Of the Assembly
district aders who exhibited a desire
recently to iulure his presligc win the
up State managers will have to take back
seats il he can have his way.
Charles S. Dewey, chief clerk Of the County
Court, is also one o IT," men on Mr.. Wood
rufus blacklist. He was formerly the leader
in the Twelfth Assembly district, where he
was put out of business by Congressman
Calder, and is ambition 70 become leader
in the new Seventh district where he was
placed by the recent reapportionment. Mr..
Woodruff had a conference a few days g
with the election district captains Of this
Assembly district and informed them that
while he had no desire to interfere will them
in local management it would in his opinion
be both unwise and impolitio to select Mr..
Dewey as their executive committeeman.
Mr.. bevoy is one of the few Republican
politicians in Brooklyn who took sides with
Odell in his efforts to regain control Of the
State organization. Other Odell sympa-
thizers who will be retired from district
leadership if Mr.. Woodruff's wishes prevail
are Ja.ob L'v'ngsuon, Philip 7. Williams
and Alderman John Ham,.
