In a number Of the churches the mid

A Muskogee dispatch to the Kan
sas City Star says:
After five months the department
of the interior has prepared the forms
under which the inherited lands in
Indian Territory must be sold at the
Union agency, and next Monday the
first list of lands will be posted for
sale, after sixty days advertising un-
der the new rules.
This inherited land law was passed
by the last congress, and about one
fourth of the land in Indian Territory
is affected by it, and most Of this
land will be placed on the market i'm
mediately. There is pressing de-
mand for its sale by heirs to close
estates of dead persons, but this ur-
gency has had no effect on the depart
ment, and the land has remained un-
sold. The indications now are that
there will soon be more lard change
hands in Indian Territory than there
has ever been before in the same
length Of time with the exception Of
the few months Immediately after
the law was passed which permitted
the freedmen in the Creek nation to
sell their land.
Inherited land is that which was
allotted to an Indian who has since
died. The rolls in some of the nations
have been in process Of making for
five years, and, in fact, land rights
we're conferred upon the Indians by
the Curtis act Of 1896, and Indians
who were entitled to land under that
act were given allotmentse even though
dead long before the rolls were ap-
proved and the allotment made.
The death rate being high among
Indians and the number Of years elaps-
ing being many, there is a large per
cent Of what are known as dead
claims. The law which authorizes
the sale Of such lands by the heirs in
cludes all classes Of Indians and freed
men, minors not excepted, and the
homestead can be sold, as well as the
surplus land

business hours Of the office. On each
Monday the Indian agent or other Off
Ger in charge will forward to the COM
missioner Of Indian affairs a complete
list o. all lands posted IN his Office for
sale.
Sec. 80. When any tract OF land
has been so llsted, the Indian agent
or other officer in charge, when com
petent from his general knowledge Of
the value Of the land shall visit,
view, and appraise the same at its
true value, according to his judgment.
Ii such agent or other officer is not
competent, or if ii shall be impracti-
cable for him to personally visit and
appraise the land, he shall require
the appraisement to be made in like
manner by competent officer or en-
ployee under his charge. A certificate
of said appraisement, signed and
sworn to by the person making it,
shall be sealed and not opened until
the sealed bids for that tract Of land
are opened. The appraisement shall
not be made public, but no bids less
than the appraised value shall be con-
sidered. If the appraisement is made
by other than the agent or officer in
charge, such agent or officer in charge
shall add his certification Of the quali-
fications and integrity Of the apprais-
er and that he believes the appraise-
ment to be the true value of the land.
Sec. 33. Sealed bids will be receiy-
ed by such agent or other officer ia

listed up to 2 o'clock p. M. Of the day
on which bids are advertised to be
opened, at which hour they viii be
opened. If a bidder desires to bid on
tracts not contiguous, he must submit
a separate bid for each tract; and III
he desires to purchase less than an en-
tire tract offered, he may submit a
bid for one or more legal subdivisions

DECISION WILL
Be IMPORTANT

The application for temporary IN
junction prayed for by Goldie j. Wal
Ter against the Cherokee Oil & Gas
company is now before Judge j. A.
Gill for decision. The arguments
were completed yesterday, but as the
lawyers for and against the petition
had consumed two whole days in
their arguments, quoting several
volumes of opinions and decisions on
each side, the judge is taking few
days to digest the law as presented.
The case is an important one.
Goldie J. Waller, minor, executed a
lease to the Cherokee Oil & Gas comp
any through her guardian, and iJ was
approved by the secretary Of interior.
When the company went TO begin
work, however. legal proceedings were
begun against it, the workmen were
arrested for trespass, and dismissed
by Judge Farrar, and finally the case
was carried to Judge Gill. 1t involves
the right of the secretary of the
interior to regulate leases, among
other things
The decision of the court is eagerly
waited by lawyersand Others who have
been following the case.

Harold returned this morning from

for week for action. Others con-
tended that as it applied strictly to
the section which had been advertis-
ed as to be amended, it was germane
and could be acted upon at once.
L. B. Campbell, who was in the
chair in the absence Of the president
and vice president, stated that he did
not wish to rule on the point of order,
and therefore, in order to preserve
harmony, it was decided to postpone
action on the amendment until the
next meeting.
A motion to adjourn was then car
ried.

BOARD COULD NOT
DECIDE YESTERDAY
School Opens Monday, But the Public
Is Still Uninformed as to Ques-
tiOn of Extra Grades.

The Vinita public schools will open
for the new term Monday morning.at
8 o'clock, The school board met yes
terday afternoon, and it was thought
that some action would be taken on
the matter of the establishment of
additional grades, but the subject was
not taken up, in spite of the fact that
school begins at once and the public
is waiting anxiously for the decision.
An additional teacher has been en-
ployed this year and it is the opinion
of some Of the members of the board
that this means that an additional
grade will be opened. But the stud
ents will not know definitely what is
to be done about the opening of new
grade until they apply at the school
Monday.
One reason for the dilatory action
action Of the board is doubtless the
illness of Prof. w. r. Ford, principal
of the school. He has been sick ever
since his return from Kentucky,
threatened with typhoid He Is
better now, and it is thought that IN
week or so he will be able to take up
his duties. Undoubtedly his illness
has been somewhat to blame for the
fact that the board has not settled

the matter Of an extra grade. But
then It seems to most people as If a
body OF business men, as the board is,
could have reached some conclusion
before now.
The assignment of teachers is as
follows:
Primary, Miss Hattie CraigI I....
First, Miss Lyons.
First, Miss Marlgold Smith.
Second, Miss Nell Davis.
