The Pearl Button Factory deal was
finally closed up this morning and
Oskaloosa will soon have the new in

Ing TO Pay Fees.

Sulphur, Okla, Aug. 15.-Witnesses
testified before the Gore congressional
Indian land Investigating committee
that If the Indian lands in Oklahoma
were sold and the $30,000,000 proceeds
we're turned over to the Indians in
cash, the state within ten years would
be flooded with paupers.
It was asserted that many of the In.
d1ans who signed the McMurray con,
tracts, allowing ten per cent "attor.
ney fee" to ]. F. McMurrsy and his
associates, we're financially irresponsi.
BILE. They would soon squander the
cash, 1t was declared, and within a
few years the country would be con.
fronted with the problem of how to
take care of them. .--
Many indians Testify.
! Except for the appearance on the
stand of Cecil A. Lyon, Republican
national committeeman of Texas, the
witnesses were all Indians. Mr.. Lyon
told of his financial interest In the old
tribal McMurray contracts, which pro-
vided for ten per cent, fee, but which
were disapproved by President Roose'
welt in 1908.
Asked If he had been invited by Nc
Murray to join in the deal because OF
his political influence and his &C
quaintance with Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr.
Lyon said he supposed he was, but
he also attributed the invitation tc
his business ability.

contracts and was willing that McMur

declared that in his opinion many In

of the money and become dependents
OF the $4,000 Choctaws and the 5000
ChicKasaws who would share in the
proceeds, many would collect from
$4,000 to $4,000 each, he said.
He said that instead of using the
money to improve the farms on which
they live and which they still would
retain after their surplus lands were
disuposed of, great many would soor
be parted from their cash. 4,

Many Chickasaws testified they
were willing to give McMurray as high
as 25 per cent. attorneys fees If he
would sell the land within year.
"Do you mean to say you would be

Des Moines, week ending Aug. A.
The temperature was slightly and the
rainfall decidedly below the normal,
except over about twenty of the south.
western counties, where heavy rains
fell during Friday night and Satur-
day morning; the amounts of rainfall
in that section ranging from one to
nearly six inches. Light to moderate
showers occurred over the central
and northwestern counties, but little
or no rain fell in the eastern dis.
tricts. Owing to moderate tempera-
ture, light wind velocity. partly cloudy
weather and scattered showers; corn
has held its own remarkably we'll, and
over two-thirds of the state is still in
good condition, but rain would be
beneficial in all sections. Over the
northeastern, and in many localities
in the central counties, the crop has
been materially damaged by the
drouth. There are many barren stalks
and the ears that have started show
poor development. The late corn is
also shooting slowly. In some of the
earliest planted fields, corn is now in
the roa sting-ear stage. Thrashing is
progressing rapidly under favorable
weather conditions, and reports con,
tinue to indicate very good yields and
excellent quality Of all small grains
There has been practically no growth
of grass in pastures and meadows and
fall blowing is being retarded on &C
count of lack of moisture. Potatoes
and garden truck are suffering for rain
and stock water is getting low in
many sections.
