Passing of the Indian.

Passing Of the Indian.
AS recently as 80 years ago the
American people generally knew OF
Oklahoma only as a haunt of Indians
and a hunting ground for big game
Early in the eighties white settlers,
who had overrun Kansas and the new
middle west states, began to inyesti
gate Oklahoma. They found the new
territory rich and appealed to the
government for the opening of it to
settlement, The government did not
readily act upon the request, and
many Of these whites, becoming impa-
tent, entered the reservation forcibly
and set up their homes. They were
driven out, but repeatedly renewed
their efforts. and many clashes with
soldiers occurred.
But these pioneers. then looked
upon by the government as outlaws,
finally persuaded congress to tpen
Oklahoma to settlement. Hence, the
names of these same outlaws have
been immortalized in oklahoma his.
tory
At the time of the opening all ot
Oklahoma, except that portion taken
from Texas in the Greer county bound
airy dispute and the narrow strip be
tween Kansas and Texas, extending
to the Colorado and New Mexico lines,
was included in the Indian Territory.
Oklahoma territory, which WAS held
by the government for the use OF the
Indians, but had never been assigned
to any tribe, consequently consisted
in those days Of only about 100000
acres. There occurred the first great
rush for homes, which brought into
existence Oklahoma City From time
10 time the government transferred
other portions OF land from the Indian
Territory TO oklahoma territory for
settlement by whites. until, when the
OklahomaIndian Territory statehood
bin passed, all that remained OF In.
dian Territory were the reservations
OF the ChoCtaw ChiCkasaw. Chero,
kee, Creek, Seminole and Quapav
tribes.

EIy Man in New Gold
Camp Fails to Enthuse
Over Its Prospects
GOOD TO LEAVE ALONE
No Money in Camp and Mighty
Little Work..Many Stranded and
Outlook for Winter Not Pleasing

A letter received in the city yes
terday from Mr. Akin, who recently
went to Rawhide for the purpose of
ascertaining conditions there and en-
gaging in operations in the new dis
trict in the event he found favorable
opening, advises Ely people who may
have had in mind entry to the Raw
hide country to change their plans
and remain at home rather than go
there.
Mr.. Akin states that the new camp
is in bad way from every stand
point. The principal trouble is lack
of money There is none of the lat
ter very necessary quantity in circu
lation and as far as he has been able
to ascertain there is no likelihood of
much of it coming that way-at least
not for some time A great deal more
development will be necessary before
the camp can make appeal for the
investment of funds for operations
of any scope.
At the present time there are but
two men at work in the camp, Mr..
Akin writes, and these have no very
large excuse for being SO employed.
A large number of people came into
the district on the rush which has
prevailed in the last month. Not
few of these are now stranded and in
bad way to face the winter. Raw
hide may come out all right later, is
the conclusion of Mr.. Akin, but at
the present time the prospects are
not brilliant and encourage remain
ing away.

tificates as requested by the deposit
tor, has had favorable effect. This
very day large amounts of money
have been removed from safe de-
post boxes and deposited in the
banks under the new conditions as
recommended by the clearing house
committee.
1.-THE clearing house certificates
are universally received in payment
for all the necessities of living, and
are freely passing as a circulating
medium. We all feel, however, that
the need for these certificates is rap
idly passing.
"San Francisco and the state gen
orally seem to be working out their
own salvation, and without any ap-
Dreciable assistance from their east
ern balances
Cash Strengthened.
James x. Lynch, vice president of
the First National bank, said:
1.-THE financial situation is rapidly
improving. Our cash is gradually
being strengthened by importations
from abroad. The aggregate of these
San Francisco's money coming back;
money paid for California products
shipped from here all over the world.
81 have seen it stated that the
banks here have been shipping large
sums of money east. That is not
true Not a dollar has been shipped
out of this state except in the shape
of merchandise, grain, fruit and SO
forth. And it is the money for that
merchandise which is coming back
to us now.
In financial circles very much
better feeling exists today than at
the beginning of the present week.
There is every assurance of a still
greater improvement next week. The
present crisis, if SO it may be termed,
is something like a fever. 1t must
run it's course. 1t eliminates and
then declines. We have about reach
ed the declining stage
Things Look Good.
A. Kafns, manager of the Canadian
Bank of Commerce, in which is in
corporated the Bank of British Co
lumbia, has this to say:
Il like the looks of things today.
One feature noticeable in the situa-
ton is the springing up of fresh de-
mand for California products, orders
for which had previously been can
celed. Contracts for shipments to
Montana, Texas, Nebraska and vari-
Gus other centers have been renewed
and the situation today has decid-
eddy hopeful appearance. In my
opinion, it will not be long before
we get accustomed to our new con-
ditions and the wheels of trade will
move as before.
what is really necessary is for all
the people to accept the situation and
stop carping at the clearing house
certificates, which are the very best
substitute for money that could be
devised, as we'll as the safest Asset
currency is something we have to
come to. And it is only because
there is a law prohibiting the United
States government from accepting
other than gold for money that these
certificates do not find universal ac-
ceptance. They are perfectly good in
every particular, and as sound cur
rency as can be found in the coun-
! try"
