INDIAN LANDS AT
 PUBLIC AUCTION

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3L-All the lunallotted lands of the i've civilized tribes of Indians in Oklahoma, approx imating 1.65O,000 acres and the forest ed area in the Choctaw nation. |amounting to about l,3e5,000 acres are to be sold at public auction. ac- cording to a decision reached by the secretary of the interior today. I The decision to sell these Indian
 lands came as a result of the recent visit of Secretary Ballinger and Commissioner of Indian Affairs Val
 entine to Mexico, a study of the
 status of the property rights of the
 five civilized tribes and conferences
 with Pres. dent Taft.
 I Regulations have been promulgated
 and the lands are now being adyer- | tised for sale at public auction. They
 will be sold by counties continuously from November 21, 1910, to March l, l1911. The total amount of lands to
 be sold under this decision is ap- Iproximately I,650,000 acres. divided as follows:
 | Seminole nation. 3460 acres, divided
 into no tracts; Creek and Cherokee
 nations. 114,000 acres, in 1000 tracts,
 and Choctaw and Chickasaw nations,
 ,540. 900 acres, in 10000 tracts The minimum price which will be accepted for the lands. is declared in
 each advertisement. and the terms call for 25 per cent at the time of
 sale, 25 per cent. in SIX months. and 50 per cent. within eighteen months, with interest at 6 per cent The sale of the forested area of the Choctaw nation will take place later. it being necessary to make a Inew appraisement. Under the law these lands, which aggregate about l .365, ,0o0 acres. will not be sold in tracts larger than $40 acres each. The department will not be able
 to close up all the tribal lands of the
 iTe civilized tribes until congress makes provision for the sale of the coal and asphalt lands covered by what are known as the segregated lands. as well as make provision for the disposition of the coal deposits. These lands amount to about 445.000
 acres. inclusive of the leased area Congress will be asked at the next session to give the department this authority, according to the interior department.
