desirable land for the homeseeker In
the Occur d'Alene reservation, whose
number entities him to land, lies
along the st. Joe river. These bot
tom lands of the st. Joe are looked
upon as fully as desirable as any
lands in the reservation outside the

the eastern part furnish plenty OF
sites for homesteaders. The mineral
belt is in township 45 north, range 3
west. Most of the best land of the
reservation is being held by the In
dams. In addition to the choice agri-
cultural lands held for the Indians
there is reserved in the reservation
about 5000 acres bordering Lake

aside for Catholic missions. These
lands are in different sections. but

LOST OKLAHOMA TOWN.
1t Was Once Headquarters of Chicka-
 saw Nation.

Atoka Correspondence Kansas City Star.
 Twelve miles east of this place is one of the Host" towns of Oklahoma, Boggy Depot, lying in the lowlands of Boggy creek. Many years ago Boggy Depot was a noted place in Indian territory.
 When Col. James Boggy, as an agent of the federal government, brought the Chickasaw Indians from Mississippi in 1882 he pitched his tent on the ground where afterward stood Boggy Depot. The Chickasaws made treaty with the gov ernment wherein 1t was provided that all payment of moneys should be trans acted at Boggy Depot, this place being chosen by the Indians because of the fact that all supplies for the Chicasaws were hauled in wagons to Boggy Depot from Fort Smith, Ark.
 For years Boggy Depot was a govern ment post When the lands held by the Choctaws and Chickasaws were divided between the two tribes the Chickasaws moved westward to their present home and Boggy Depot was abandoned as a government post. The wealth of a num- ber of Indian territory families was acquired in trade at Boggy Depot
 Most of the commercial salt used in Southern Indian territory and Northern Texas was manufactured from the waters of Salt creek, small stream that flowed near the town. Settlers came for miles on horseback and in wagons and carried the salt away in bags. At the beginning of the civil war the Confederate govern ment took charge of the salt works and manufactured salt for the Confederate army in this part of the country. One of the old kettles used at that time is owned by A. R. Faudree of this place.
 Boggy Depot was the birthplace of a number of persons now of wide acquaint- ance in Oklahoma, among them being

or other. Of the 53.oo0 men and boys who were arrested and searched in Boston dur ing the last municipal year, only 154 were found to be ''heeled"-only about one in 345 of the very persons that might be expected to take up a bad habit. Yet 1t is equally certain that the average man owns a revolver, for. though such weap- ons go all over the world, Americans have always been the best customers for this American invention, the sale of which runs into the millions.
 Six great corporations, most of them and the best of them here in New Eng uand, and perhaps a dozen smaller con- cerns, are engaged in the manufacture. One of the six has turned out 2,250000 re- volvers since 1S72-the larger proportion during the more recent years. Of the other five leaders two have made larger number; one about many; the other two slightly fewer Taking all these with the lesser folk. 1t would be well within the mark to say that we have manufac- tured 6,000 900 revolvers within 85 years or so, and that the present demand calls for 100000 year.
 How is the million distributed? Mas

 Birmingham's small industries are ex- periencing prosperous times just now. At least to take the word of a man who happens to come in close touch with them through his own small concern, their business has picked up considerably dur Ing the past several weeks.
 By small concerns is not meant little affair. Instead, 1t is construed as mean ing those concerns employing anywhere from three persons to a force of 200 or 300 men, and each concern of which is manufacturing some special article
 The man referred to is one connected with a firm employing about dozen peo- pie, and which itself grew out of the number of small industries here. There were certain small articles needed by these concerns which 1t was necessary to import into Birmingham. This man and another figured that these things could be manufactured here as cheaply as any where else, and they opened their place. It was a very small beginning, but their energy proved as good as cash capital and success met their efforts True this concern cannot yet be rated as one of any size, but It's two proprietors are

making a good living out of it, while there are nearly a dozen well-paid em- ployes.
 Then there are numbers of articles used in the homes in Birmingham that could be manufactured at a profit here, but which are being shipped in here from other places at present. For instance, there is room for a split basket and wood platter manufacturing establishment here. There is a steady demand for these particular things. It wouldn't re- quire such an immense outlay of capital to start such a plant, and man with business ability should make a success of 1t. These articles are only two, how ever, of great list.
 On the other side again are to be found articles being manufactured here suc- cessfully that the average person would not imagine for moment as being made here. For instance typewriter ribbons are being made here, and they are excep tionally good ribbons. too. So it is seen that even the pretty stenographer can rise in her dignity and demand Made in Birmingham" articles.
