TERRITORIAL CLUBS WILL ENGAGE IN
 TOURNAMENT
TRAP SHOOTERS OF ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO MAKE PLANS
 FOR MEETING.
WILL BE TELEGRAPH EVENTS
LOCAL MEN ENTHUSIASTIC AND CONFIDENT OF PICKING
 WINNING TEAM.

If the plans the trap shooters through out Arizona and New Mexico are now laying do not miscarry, series of shoots in which nearly all of the gun clubs in the two territories will take part will begin in short time.
 The shoots will be in the nature of telegraph events. That is, each clnb will hold its own shoot on it's own grounds, after which the results will be ascertained and the prize money paid to the club making the highest score.
 The idea originated with the Fl Paso Gun club. In brief, the idea of this or ganization is for the different clubs at Tucson. Globe, Clifton, Douglas, Dem ing, Albuquerque, Las Vegas, Raton, Santa Fe, Winslow, Phoenix, Tucumcari, Amarillo and Fl Paso to pick teams of five mon each. Each team will put up an entrance fee of $7.50, deduct the cost of targets and turn the balance into the purse, which will go to the winning team. The net purse will amount to somthing like $50.
 The plan ought to prove popular with the different gun clubs. An ordinary practice shoot costs almost as much for traps alone as the individual entry fee will amount to and each team has the chance of winning the purse.
 J. q. Naquin, president of the local gun club is enthusiastic over the plan and is confident that he can pick five. man team here that can make good showing against any other team in the two territories.
 Frank Chapman, Joe Brown, II. R, Murphy. Bert Jackson and J. c. Naquin are spoken of as the members of the quintet to represent the Globe Gun club.
 Shoots to be held through the sum mer, on this basis, will be preparatory to the big shoot at Tucson, in the fall

feelings regarding the improvement os the roads within the county. The vo,s was nearly five to one in favor of tbs improvement project.
 J. B. Girard, territorial engineer. i, more than willing to cooperate with tbo different counties in good roads can paign and the chamber believes that now is the time to improve the high ways in Gila county. Roughly it i, planned to raise about $50,00O with which to do the improvement work. De. tails of the campaign will be worked out later.
 It is probable that the matter will b. taken up at the next meeting of tbs chamber, which will be held in abou, two weeks. Definite action on the pro. ject is expected at that time.

ROOSEVELT SHOULD BE REACHED BY
 GOOD ROAD
PLAN PROPOSED TO REDUCE THE GRADE AND RENDER TRAVEL
 ING MORE PLEASANT

With the Roosevelt dam nearing com pletion, considerable interest is beiug manifest in new road into the north ern end of the county, through the Roosevelt district.
 At the present time the Roosevelt road is not only B long one, but it is not all that could be desired as a grade. There is a grade, about ten miles of which is difficult to negotiate and it is believed that not only can this grade be eliminated by relatively small ex- penditure of money, but that the dis ta,lce between Globe and Roosevelt can be shortened about eight miles.
 District Attorney c. w. Shute, who is familiar with that section of the country, has plan which bears the ear marks of being feasible one.
 The present road follows Pinal creek to Devore s and then goes roundabout way over the mountains to the other side of the divide. Shute's plan is to build q new road straight down Pinal creek from Devore s to the Salt River, and then down this stream to Roose- welt.
 He figures that the work can be done for about $5,000 Some heavy work must be done along part of the route, but when the work is completed, a road which will be of great benefit to the public will be the result. It will be water grade almost all of the way.
 The northern end of the county is rich in minerals and also adapted to stock raising and will, before long, be. come ono of the most important sections of the country, tributary to Globe.

Cause of Trouble Last Year

Following the removal of restrictions last year, harjo called q meeting at the Hickory Ground to dscsss the situa- tion. The deliberations were secret and the armed light horse guard kept out, by force if necessary, all prying stran- gers. This action led to excited rumors that an armed force of Indians and ne. groes was gathering at the Hickory Ground preparatory to making an at tack on the towns and villages in the vicinity.
 | A request was made for the National guard, but Adjutant General Frank Canton, who had been all through the Indian country as cowman and deputy marshal twenty years ago, and knew the habits and te;aper or the Indians, decided that be could do more good by a personal visit than by going at the head of the troops. He proceeded to the Hickory uround alone and un armed and secured personal interview with Chitto Harjo, telling him that his armed guard must be disbanded, at under the state law no one had right to carry arms except officers.
 | Harjo insisted that under the treaties he had right to maintain his guard but stated that he would forego thi. right except for the danger of attack from some of the white men, who were greatly excited and wanted to tak' vengeance upon him. After the adju tant general had promised him protec tion all arms were laid down and hi, forces disbanded That finished thu

 HARJo's FRIENDSHIP

GUTHIE, Okla, April 21.-A pathet- ic figure of the days that are gone for ever, type of the oid-time Creek h. dian as he existed in the years when he was free to roam at will through In dian territory, is Chitto Harjo, "Crazy Snake" rather than the figure that has been eonjured up by the lurid accounts of the recent "war," which have led many people to picture him as second Geronimo or Satana, decked in war paint and feathers.
 Harjo's only otfense is that he has insisted on the carrying out of the trea- ties of the early days as he understood them-treaties that guaranteed the In dians possession of the land "as long as grass grows and water flows" He insists that the possession should still be of the same sort that it was then, when all of the land was held in com mon, each member of the tribe using as much or as little of the tribal do. main, with none to let or hinder. He has made many appeals to the federal officials, both in Washington and at Muskogee, and, while they rec ognize the futility of the fight which ht is making, many of them are proud of the old man s friendship. He has always felt that his people have not been treated fairly by the white man | government and felt that he had an ad ditional grievance in the recent remova of restrictions which made the lant | taya hla

Indians Side of the Case

Probably the best statement ever made of the Indian side of the tragedy of dying race, now being enacted in Oklahoma, was made by the late Alex. Posey, the famous Creek Indian bard. He said:
 "When the commission of the five civilized tribes opened the Creek land office at Muskogee in April, 1899, there was rush to file by those citizens of the nation possessing the least Indian blood. These people secured the cream of the Indian lands. Later the full bloods began slowly to file upon their allotments, but in almost every case they found second or third grade land. The best lands lying along the streams and adjacent to the thriving towns had all been taken up.
 "It is only question of a very short time until these people will be evicted from their homes and compelled to make new ones on their allotments, to which they are strangers. This will work great hardship upon these peo- pie. There are several hundred families of them thus situated, and they are the real Indians which the United States has made so much talk and bother about about protecting.
 "These people are totally united to face the conditions which now sur round them in Oklahoma. Some of their friends among. the more intelli. gent and well-informed Indians think that their affairs should be taken in hand by commission under the aus piees of the United States govern ment '
 The Snakes have been naturally sus- picious of the officers of the law, which was in considerable measure responsible for the recent trouble, and have com plained that white men claiming to be officers have come among them, arrest ed members of their elan and then told them that in order to secure their re. lease they must sign certain papers whoch proved to be deeds to their al- lOtmpnts
