The city is filed with Cherokees and 9TH
ers, and the boarding houses and hotels
are overlooking. The streets are lined
with all classes and conditions of people,
mostly full bloods. some of whom are
camping i'm the capitol rark.
Every Indian on the roll, Mrs. Lockwood
says 10 the number of 21,390. will re-
ceive United States warrant for $133 10
The city Is in gala attire and brass bands

the bright sunlight, and the plains lost
their look Of parched desolation as the
afterglow came and went. We were gal
Looping through a world Of dim shade and
dying color; and, in this world. our horses
suddenly halted on the brink of a deer
ravine from out OF which came the thun-
jutting point The snowy masses OF the
fall foamed over ledge on our right
and below at out feet was a great pool OF
swirling water. Thick-fOliaged trees. Of
strange shape and festooned with creepers
climbed the sheer sides of the ravine. 4
black-and-white eagle perched In a blasted
tree-top i'm front; and the bleached skull
of a long dead rhinoceros glimmered white
near the brink to one side
On another occasion We took our lunch
at the foot OF REVERB Falls. These are
not as high as the falls of the Nairobi,
but they are almost as beautiful. We
clafnbered down into the ravine a little
distance below and made our way toward
them, beside the brawling, rock-choked
torrent. Great trees lowered overhead
tered and screeched. The fall itself waa
broken I'm two parts like a miniature
Niagara, and the spray curtain shifted ID
and fro as the wind blew.
