Iransacts Important
Business---Ta Up
Question Of More
Street Lights

In spite Of the heat, a fairly good
number of the members turned out
at the Commercial club meeting last
night and some important business
was transacted.
Secretary Stephens read a number
Of communications from people who
are interested in Chiekasha and who
want to engage in business or estab-
lish some industry here. One Of these
was from an Indiana man who asked
for information relative TO the condi-
tions that are favorbale here for a
canning factory. 9. Fl. Russell made
a live talk On the canning factory pro-
position and pointed to the prosperity
Of the Oklahoma factories dgring the
past few years. ITO my personal
knowledge every canning factory in
Oklahoma is making money and this
year they are able to name their own
prices for their products said Dir.
Russell. "The Washita valley can
grow raw products enough for half
a dozen on more factories and there's
no reason why we should not have
them. Chickasha may not be situated
70 become the 'Pittsburg Of the West
but she can become the baltimore Of
the West If we reach out after these
Industries"
DR. p. y. Dawson introduced rel
solution that reciTed the fact that the
present lighting Of the city IS inad-
equate and recommended that the city
council take steps to cancel the pres
ent contract with the electric light
company, with a view to making a
new contract for 100 lights aud reduc-
ed rates. AT this time the city has
40 street lights for which IL pays IS
each per month. The proposition for
more lights seemed to meet with gen.
eral favor and upon motion Of G. II.
Russell, President Johns appointed a
committee to investigate the entire
matter Of street lighting in other cit
ies, the number Of lights used and the
prices paid, and 70 cooperate with tho
council in arranging contract foE
more lights Ben +. Johnson, c. H.

Garfield States His
Position on the Indian
Land Question---Is In
Territory

Guthrie, Okla. Aug 14-That Sec
retary James R. Garfield favors the
removal Of restrictions on all lands
in the Indian Territory, except the
homestead claim, is confirmed by his
statement this morning in a talk with
newspaper men. He made the state
ment that he was in favor Of the Cur
tis Indian bill, introduced in congress
last year which places the Indians Of
The five civilized tribes on an equal
footing with those Of other parts Of
! the United States. The full blood In
dams under the Curtis act viii be
allowed upon application to the sec
retary Of interior, to sell all their sur
plus lands; the mixed bloods will have
all the restrictions removed on the
sale of surplus lands All Of these APP
lplicalions for the removal Of restric-
tions Of the land Of the full blood IN
dian Will be passed upon by the Sec
cretary who will act upon the re-
commentator Of the local Indian in
spectors as to rejecting or granting
applications. The Curtis bill was in-
troduced in congress last winter but
there was no action taken on the bill
and Secretary Garfield says the same
bill or one similar will be introduced
at the coming session Of congress.
When asked if he did not expect a
strong fight on the bill he stated chat
there had always been enough senti-
ment in congress against a bill Of that
kind to prevent its passage.
Asked about what steps he aDtici-
pated taking on the segregated coal
lands In the Indian Territorw he was
was unable to make any statement but
said that he was giving the matter hi:
careful consideration. and was getting
together all the information and data
on the subject that he could and that
no furthe rleases would be made.
Secretary Garfield and party ar
rived here last evening and was enter
z tertained BY Secretary Filson and
Governor Frantz during the day He
spoke at the Chautauqua this after
noon, his address being along non-par-
tisan lines, and left at six o'clock this

a GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
Delegates From Every Township to
Discuss the Matter With the Cham
her of Commerce.

At the next Chamber of Commerce
smoker to be held in this city there
Will be present SO invited guests from
the ten townships of Sumter county,
three from each township, who will
be requested to express their views in
regard to a comprehensive and syste-
matte method of building good roads
all over the county.
A movement will be inaugurated
towards accumulating ways and
means for the purpose Of improving
the roads, and it was deemed advisa-
BILE to secure the attendance Of a
number Of representative citizens
from each township to talk over the
best mode of procedure to secure
good roads. One Of the principal
plans so far proposed is a special tex
levy in each township for this pLr-
pose, but other ideas have been ad-
vanced, such as general special tax
levy to be paid by the entire county.
However, the movement for good
roads and more good roads is growing
in favor, and the Sumter Chamber Of
Commerce thinks the concerted ac-
ton, under systematic organization
between town and rural districts, will
do more than anything else to attain
the desired end.
President r. I. Manning and Secre-
tary Reardon will mail out the invita-
tons this week to the delegates from
each township, and the committee on
public works Of the Chamber Of Com
merce will formulate plan Of pro-
cedure and discussion for the meet
ing. The delegates will be entertain
ed by the entire membership Of the
Chamber of Commerce at a smoker to
be given in their honor.
