gress to form 1t have an area of G9,S30
square miles. When b president
formally proclaims the new state the
name Indian Territory will be wiped
OF the map, and henceforward Okla
homa will include all of that section.
Indian Territory never was a terri
tory in the accepted definition Of the
term. 1t was made up Of the hold
fngs of the five civilized tribes of In
dams, with the small Quapaw reser-
walton In he northeast corner. The
five tribes are the Cherokees, Choc-
Jaws, Creeks. Chickasaws and Semi
noles. Each of these tribes was called
n nation and had its own domain. and
each nation was governed much in the
manner of a full fiedged state except
that Uncle Sam exerted a fatherly SUI
pervision. Each nation had its gov
ernor or principal chief and its legis-
lature, made up of a house OF kings
and a house of warriors.
But the great majority of the peo-
pie In Indian Territory were whites
who had rushed in to inherit the earth.
They settled upon Indian lands, some
times paying rent TO the Indians and
sometimes not doing so. After a
dozen years hard work the Dawes
commission finally succeeded in allot-
ting the lands to the Indians in sew
crafty, the holdings having been In
common. These Indians become Amer
lean citizens by the admission of the
state.
The Indian Territory end of Oklaho-
ma has grown perhaps more rapidly
than the other end. The city Of Muske-
gee. IN the old Creek Nation. had about
5000 population four years ago. Now
its enthusiastic citizens claim $4,000
and will swear to 1t. The city has
trolley lines and practically every up

Guthrie, the largest towns of old Okla
homa, are both striding forward. I'm
til 1913 Guthrie will continue to be
the capital of the state. Then there
will be a scramble for the location Of
the state capital that will enhance the
hilarity of nations.

progressiyeness of her people and in
everything that goes to make the

1HE KINGSTON CALAMITY

Jamaica is naturally the most beauti-
full of all the West India islands. 1t is,

slaves, it was England's richest little
possession. 1t is a place of eternal Sum-

singing birds.

the wickedest spots under the sun.
The people are nearly all negroes or
mongrels; they a live on the spon-

being idle they have cultivated all the
vices. An earthquake followed by fire
has destroyed the main portion of the
city with many lives. But the city

But il probably was just a local
quake such as the island has suffered
before. One in 1892 caused the main
portion of the city of Port Royal to
slide into the sea. Jamaica is subject
to both hurricanes and earthquakes. A
hurricane in 1892 caused a transfer OF
the seat of commerce on the island

There is strong probability. too. that
