Indians Lay Down.

1t is practically assured that al
though the Choctaw and Chickasaw Of
ficials have fought bitterly against the
sale of the surface and the mineral
rights separately they will cease their
fight and make no attempt to oppose
the measure in the senate, for it is
practically agreed that the best way
to go about obtaining the desired end
is to get legislation for the sale of SUR
face and then seek legislation for the
sale of the mineral rights. The min
eral rights fight is certain to follow
the passage of the Owen bill.
After the senate has acted on the
coal land bill with its amendments it
will go to the conference committee
where an effort will be made to secure
the approval of the house committee

in, the house will go through the form

ton only will need the signature of
