resenlative Campbell Of Kansas and
Mcclure Of Oklahoma are at dag
gers points oyerQa bill introduced
by Mcclure turning over the Chilocco
Indian school to the state of Oklaho.
ma 10 be used as an Indian asylum.
The row first broke out at meet
ing of the Indian affairs committee,
when Campbell objected to the pro-
vision in the Indian appropriation eff
fecting the change. r
Campbell has followed the express
sion of his objections by introducing
a bill to turn Chilocco into an agri-
cultural school, open to all Indians OF
all ages from all parts of the United
States, Campbell's bill authorizes
the secretary of the interior to ap-
praise and sell four sections Of land
belonging to the Chilocco Indian
school. the proceeds to be used in
equipping the agricultural school
Campbell contends that the school
buildings and grounds are worth a
half million dollars and that the S,640
acres OF land belonging to the school
can be sold for $40 an acre and that
the state should pay for the property
He argues further that there are
ACT pupils and 81 teachers at Chilocco
who should not be deprived of educa-
tional benefits in order to create an
insane asylum for the state without
cost Under the provision of the In
dian appropriation bill the Chilocco
school will be abandoned January l
next.

adyisabiIity OF parceling these tracts,
several OF which adjoln the townslte
of Hobart, so that the several sub
divisions OF each may be sold sepa-
rately for townsle purposes. The

Of the enabling act by practically
de stroying the sacred heritage Of a
preference right which is guaranteed
every school land lessee.
