MUCH VALUABLE LAND TO
Be SOLD IN OCTOBER

Muskogee, Okla, Sept. 2.-The In
dian agent has announced that during
the week beginning October 10, there
will be 10000 acres of Indian land
placed on the market. This is the same
week that the Muskogee State Fair
and the International congress of In
dams will be held, and 1t is expected
that hundreds OF outside buyers will be
here to grab farm. Indian land has a
peculiar lure for the average farmer
from the east and north The words
to them seem TO have a golden sound.
There are some rich bargains IN
some of these sales. In the sale for
October, the agent pointed out, there
is one tract Of land of 500 acres in the
Choctaw nation, which Is appraised at
only $3.50 There are 140 acres Of this
fine bottom land. but It is covered with
great oak and hickory trees. A small
part of it Is in cultivation. A shrewd,
energetic farmer could, in few years,
turn that into one OF the finest farms
in the state. And there are 140 tracts
OF land advertised at this sale OF
course, some of them are worthless,
some very fine and some only passibly
good. But any prospective purchaser
can see the land and get the appraised
price set by the government IN ad.
vance Of his bid It Is noticeable that
the sales each month are getting bet
ter and the demand for land greater.
The old fear that the titles are bad is
disappearing.

ATTORNEYS FILE
CAPITOL BRIEFS
Claim location Of Capital at Guthrie
by Congress Was Done Merely to
please Bird MCGUIRE.

Guthrie Okla, Sept. 2.--The attor
neys for Oklahoma City 10 the capital
litigation now pending in the supreme
court have filed t'cir briefs In that
court The attorneys for Oklahoma
CITY are Attorney General Charles j,
West and Attorneys Stuart and Gordon
Of MoAlester, Burwell Crockett and
Johnson Of Oklahoma City.
In their brief the attorneys outlined
much the same argument that was pre-
ylously presented to the district and
federal courts, and deelay'e further that
the provision OF the enabling act lo-
eating the temporary capital at Guth-
rie until 1913 was not the enactment
of a national policy In which the gov
ernment could have sufficient In.
terest to enforce, but merely to please
Bird s. Mcclure, the only delegate
from Oklahoma Territory IN congress
who had personal interest In Guthrie.
The arguments In a nutshell are than
individual citizens of Guthrie could
not obtain property rights under the
enabling act; that third party cam
not enforce the terms of compact
where the United States government
takes no interest In its enforcement;
that the enabling act was merely a
temporary measure; was not binding
upon the state after its admission, as
all states must be admitted on an
equal footing; that the removal OF the
capital does not involve an impairment
OF the constitution, but involves a po-
litlcal power inherent to the state gov
ernment which cannot be contracted
away. that the enabling act and ordi.
nance irrevocably are contrary to the
constitution OF tie state; that the In.
Itlated bin operated for the immedl
ate removal OF the capital from Guth.
rie to Oklahoma City. and that II is
impossible TO maintain the temporary
capital and permanent capital at the
same time, and that the federal gov.
ernment had no right to enforce the
contract upon the people Of Oklahoma,
and that the people of the state had
no right to contract away their power
TO remove the capital at Will.
