Bids on indian Lands Rejected

The Secretary fthe Interior dur
ing the week passed upon and rejected
all bids which had been filed on the
timbered lands in the southeastern
par tof the Choctaw country. These
lands had been of cred in tracts rang
ing in value from $4,000 to more than
100000. The receiving of bids was
close don May first. Congressman
Carter, Senator Gore an dother mem.
Der sof the Oklahoma delegation had
protested against the sale of these
lands in such large tracts, on the
ground that it would exclude the small
purchaser an dthe actual farmer and
aid in the continuance of a lumber
monopoly. Numerous protests were
filed and bids introduced requiring the
sale fthe land in small tracts, both
by Congressman Carter and Senator
Gore. It will now be necessary for these
lands to be offered at another sale on
different terms and in smaller tracts.

Senator ovens Campaign.

Muskogee, Oklahoma. May 21.-
Marked with rousing meetings and
unusual incidents which brought to
my mind historical events of early
Territorial days, the first week of Sen.
ator Robert L. Owens initial campaign
trip closed at Tahlequah Saturday
with a gratifying reception.
Fro mthe opening speech at Web.
bers Falls on Thursday up to and in
cluding the Tahlequah meeting. the
Senator addressed enthusiastic audi
ences of admirers and life long friends
in six towns in eastern Oklahoma. Ia
almos teyery instance his audience ex-
ceeded in numbers the population of
the respective towns.
At Webbers Falls. Senator Owen
was introduced by o. P. II. Brewer,
former superintendent of the Cherokee
Seminary at Tahlequah, wher ethirty
year sago Senator owen, as the head
fthis institution, gave Brewer his
education.
Webbers Fails was chosen at the
place to deliver the opening speech
out of respect to the memory Sena.
tor Owens mother Mrs. Narcissa
Owen, who was Dor non the present
site of this town in 1881. May 10th was
chose mas the date because it was the
eighteenth anniversary Of the birth
of the Senator's daughter, Miss Doro-
| thea.
Oklahoma's brilliant statesman was
accompanied to Webbers Falls by
nearly forty of his life long friends
and admirers from Muskogee, and he
was met at Warner by the band and a
delegation of business men from that
thriving community.
When, in his speech, Senator Owen
referred to his deceased mother, many
of her childhood friends wept, and the
Senate ralmost broke down Mrs. Will
liam Stuart, friend of the Senator S
mother, presented him with a bouquet
of roses, an dthe Senator was visibly
moved. The school children of the
Brewer Academy presented him with
similar token
In every town the Senator was met
wit ha band and large delegations OF
citizens. At Oktaha on Friday school
had been dismissed, and the children
were lined up to shake hands with the
Senator The reception given at War
ner and Fort Gibson were gratifying
At Wagner the Senator's party was
met by the band and large delegation
of citizens. They were conveyed to the
court house in automobiles, and more
than fifteen hundred people, including
many women, had congregated in the
district codrt room to hear Senator
owens address. He made masterful
speech, and enthusiasm was rampant
Many persons were unable to even Sc
cure standing room.
The reception given the Senator at
Tahlequah, where for years he was
Superintendent of the Indian School
exceeded that of any other meeting
thus far on the trip.
