Unlawful Devastation.

''The care and preservation of the unal-
loted forest area of the Choctaw Nation,
including the commercial timber on the
coal and asphalt segregation" says Com
missioner Wright, lis a matter that is
becoming more important as the natural
forest area of the country at large dimin-
ishes. The increased value of the stump
age and the unprotected condition of the
forest in the territory mentioned have
combined to render the same peculiarly
susceptible to unlawful and indiscrimin-
ate devastation. Rumors to this effect
being persistent, In December, 1893, sur
veyors in the employ of this office were
detailed to make an investigation of the
matter. with the result that these
mors were confirmed, extensive Gepreda-
tions and the wanton destruction of the
forest being found on every hand, The
most fragrant cases were Immediately
brought to the attention of the United
States district attorney. who presented
the same to the federal grand jury at Its
February, 1909, session.
That body, on information produced
by the field employees and others sum-
moned for that purpose, returned twen-
ty-six indictments, charging the per-
sons named therein with the violation
of the act of June &, 1900, which pro-
hibits the cutting of timber standing
on tribal property and provides an APP
propriate penalty therefor. These cases
were set for trial at the McAlester term
of the federal court in June, 1909. at
which time defendants filed a demurrer
to the indictments drawn. h'ch
was sustained by the court. AS a re-
suit of this action twenty-four of tho
indictments were quashed, one of the
defendants pleading guilty and submit
ting to fine and another choosing to
stand for trial on the Indictment as
originally drawn.
Conviction Greatly Desired.
The federal grand jury then being in
session and the witnesses being pres
ent. the cases affected by the demurrer,
with others, were presented to and
acted upon by that body. with the re-
suit that f1fty-nine true bills were re-
turned, charging the defendants named
therein with the unlawful cutting OF
timber as above mentioned. The ulti-
mate conviction of the actual violatorS
of the law is greatly to be desired, as
such a result will undoubtedly act as
deterrent to others who may be SINH
larly inclined. Every effort is being
made to bring about this result. and at
the request OF the United States attor-
ney law clerk of this office has beer
detailed to assist in the preparation Of
the evidence in these cases which are
now pending.
Since the organization of this Office
he continues, there has ever been ten
dency on the part of a few Indians to re-
sist the severance of their tribal rela-
tons. At first they refused to render as
sistance in the matter of their enrolment
and when this portion of the work had
been accomplished refused to select allot-
ments: consequently 1t became necessary
to send out field allotment parties to To-
cate the improvements of these persons
and make arbitrary allotments to them.

CANADA WILL
 HAVE NAVY ALL POSSIBLE PREPARATIONS ARE BEING MADE TO CON.
 sTRUcT A NAVY. Cruisers and Destroyers Will Be Built if It Is PossibIe--NegotiatIons
 Are Now Going On.

Ottawa. Ont, Nov. 25.-The cruis CTS and desroyers for the Canadian Navy will be built in Canada is possi- ble.
 It Is understood that the govern ment feels that the time has come for the establishment of as hipbuild- ing industry in the Dominion and that the opportunity has arrived with the decision of the government to place orders for the construction of a mum. Der of important vessels.
 Negotiations are going on between the Canadiai government and several shipbuilding firms for the establish. ment of one or more modern and thor oughly equipped shipbuilding yards in Canada and there is every indica. tion that an announcement will be made within short time that a ship yard is to be opened
 The authorities state there is no reason why cruisers and destroyers cannot be built in Canada up to the British admiralty standard. The cost of the first vessels might be slightly greater than it would be if the orders were placed with British yards, but the government feels that the event. ual benefit to the country which would result from the establishment Of a shipbuilding yard in Canada on a large scale is ample justification for an increased cost for the first naval vessels.
