Chckasaw Indians to appear before
the Dawes commission in 1899. This
commission was empowered to deter
mine for the government who should
be admitted to the Indian rolls. There
were many who claimed they were
wrongfully kept off the enrolment OF

men, estimated to be worth $4,000.
McMurray said he was asked by
Governor Johnston OF the Chickasaws
to protect the interests OF that tribe
by keeping as many of the claimants
as possible off the rolls. This would
prevent from being further divided,
the property of those who were al
ready on the rolls.

mately kept 3,100 claimants off the
rolls. Estimating each these claim

No others know this better than the
financiers of the country and the bond
markets are not what they have been
heretofore.
There is no doubt but that Mr..
Ayres has a feasible plan. The country
through which this road will go Will
support a railroad if any strip of coun-
try in the world will do it. 1t is fine
agricultural belt and also is rich in
mineral Asphalt beds and deposits or
srahamite are along the route. Gra-
hamite is now being shipped from Chi
cago to Ardmore to be used in me
manufacture OF paint, while this sec.
tion of Oklahoma has more grahamite
than Chicago ever saw But it lies un-
developed To traverse that portion of
the country with a line of road means
the development of that product as
well as the develoment of other prod
ucts.
The cement plant at Ada has six
hundred men employed and the sales
man for that plant upon his last visit
to Ardmore, sold seven thousand bar
rels to this town to be used here in
and improvements. The pro-
posed Ayres line of road passes
through deposits of lime rock as fine
as there is anywhere and that indus
try alone will keep many cars busy
and will mean the building of vast
plant in this county.
