while here, outside Of a few states,
one must buy guide books and hunt
fer the occasional good ones. Appar-

due TO the fact that there national

Fifteen million dollars is the exact
amount that the government placed

Perry is a practical coal miner and
has made a fortune mining coal in

is the first time bona fide offer has
ever been made in lump sum Tor

coal and asphalt property, and tho
distribution among the tribes per

direction of the secretary Of the in

Many Efforts to Sell.
Various secretaries have made
many attempts under as many diff

coal lands during the last ten years,
but not an acre of it has been sold.

SEGREGATED COAL AND ASPHALT LANDS
AND PERRY'S OFFER OF SI5,0OO,0OO

And one OF the principal reasons
that sales could not be made was
that neither the government, the
Indian nor the coal men know what
the property was. one thing that
has prevented getting down to bus
mess was the persistency of stories
circulated all over the country, and
in the halls Of congress also, that
the coal lands we're worth anywhere

The official estimate OF the value or

This was the first and only at

get a correct estimate OF the entire

of a chain or irregular areas stretch

from Tanaha, on the Arkansas river,

nation. The asphalt lands lie almost
entirely within the Choctaw nation,

State Once Wanted Land.

The state of Oklahoma at one tlne

time considered was $4,000 600. Sec

times to sell parts of the coal lands

has also devoted considerable time
TO the problem, but rot a sale has
been made.
Mr.. Perry, who has submitted the
last proposition, is well known in
the state. While no cash accompan-
led the offer, it is generally believed
that If the proposition receives con-
sideration, that he will be able to
put up a sufficient sum to guarantee
good faith, and that he has a syndi-

above the ordinary, 1t takes something
good to move Hot Springs audience

hear good music often and appreciate
it, but most travelling organizations are
below the standard set by our home
musicians. Not so with this company.
After the first number by the entire
orchestra they we're encored repeatedly.
Their solos, duets and trios were q

at the New Opera House, the night Of
Saturday, May 18th:
ga Prince of His Race is q most
excellent attraction. The light and
airy nature of the plot combined with
the original way in which it was made
to develop, was admirable and the pre-.
sentetion it received at the hands of
Mr.. Graham and those about him de-
cidedly promoted the contentment and
good humor of an audience on pleasure
bent. The play is q comedy drama
just delicate enough to lean toward
the picturesque on one hand, and yet
escape being criticised as frail or fac
tuona On the other. 1t is also of ma
ture OF artistic work, for which Mr..
Grsham seems fitted and gave him re-
peated opportunities, all of which he
improved. The role of Phil Stanley,
which Mr.. Graham occupied, was one
which depends greatly for its effective.

Dakota by the death of Senator Kyle
In l9Ol, Governor Herried promptly
appointed him to that position. At
the next meeting of the legislature he
was made the unanimous choice Of the
overwhelming majority as his own

Hts career in the senate was brilliant
ono and he was recognized as one of
the great men of that body. His know
ledge Of the French claims to the Pan.
anna route for the interoceanio canal,
gained after hard study and thorough
investigation, made him an authority
on that subject and his advice was
sought by the president and the senate
and Invariably followed. He was made
chairman Of the senate committee on
Panama canal, and its legal adviser
in all matters pertaining to the French
claims. His career in the senate WAS
such that brilliant future was pre-
dicted for him, and his close friend
ship with President Roosevelt and the
confidence which the president ac.

driven by Melvin Gordon became
frightened at some noise or object and
started to run. They soon became IN
manageable and threatened at any mo-
ment to precipitate the occupants Of
the buggy into the river or onto the
rocks about thirty feet below the road
bed. Fortunately Vic Peterson was
driving his big Winton auto south to
the falls with party and seeing that
there was likely to be collision. drove
his car to the outer edge Of the road
and locked the brakes. As the fright
ened team neared the auto they natur.
ally veered to the inside and the wheels
striking the rocks overturned the
buggy and all three occupants, Mr..
Gordon, Mics Alone Shouse and Mrs.
Esta Walker, we're thrown out, aud the
buggy pretty badly demolished. Cor
don escaped with slight injuries as did
Mrs. Walker, but Miss Shouse received
sprained ankle and numerous bruises
which has caused her to remain In bed
since. 1t seems very fortunate that
Mr.. Peterson happened along with his
machine at the time Of the runaway
for had the team had clear road and
going at the speed they were, It is more
than likely that before making the en-

that the whole outfit would have
