INDIANS INCREASING.
ntermarriage With Whites Causes a
Gain in Tribal Population.

Washington, July 14.-While the
full 0oded Indian is fast disap-
pearing, the half breeds are increas-
ing in number according to a re-
port OF the census bureau. The report
shows that the half breeds have by
far the largest families and tina,
the original abGi5ines rapidly are
being assimilated by the whites.
The fullbloods are most promi-
nently represented in the states of
Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Colo
RADIO and Nevada, where more than
50 per cent of the fullbloods are to
be found Oklahoma has the largest
Indian population principally mixed
breeds.
This was due to the influx Of ad-
venturous whites during the appor-
tionment of the rich lands to the
members of the five civilized tribes
and the marriage of those
whites with Indian women.
An analysis of the figures collected
by the census takers shows a de-
crease of all classes of Indians in the
ten-year period from 1890. Owing,
however to the increase among the
half breeds, the next decade records
an increase which, for the twenty
year term, is approximately per
cent

CONTRCAT LET FOR
STEEL LAYING
kENEFlCK COMPANY OF KANSAS
CITY WILL DO TRACK LAYING
ON RINGLING ROAD.

Work of laying ties and putting
down steel will begin on the new
Ringing railway within a few days,
perhaps next Monday morning. Yes
terday a contract was closed with
the VIM Kenefick Construction COM
pany of Kansas City to lay the track
and do some of the grading. Mr..
Hoffman. general manager of the
NJ. o. e G. Ry., will have charge
of the construction work for the Ken
eficll company. His men and outfit
will be here ready to begin work
Monday morning.
Farley Richmond of this city has
over fifty teams at work on the
grading three miles west of the city
and that part of the work will be
pushed in order to keep out Of
the way OF the track laying gang.
The Kenefick company works rapidly
and perhaps holds the record for
rapid construction in the southwest,
having completed over 100 miles Of
road from Wagner, Okla, to Joplin,
Mo-, in three and one-half months.
Yesterday a contract was closed
with the estern Tie and Timber
company of st. Louis for several
thousand additional ties and the con-
treat for all bride material was let
to the National Creosoting company.
Yesterday the first shipment of
rails was started from the mills in
Pennsylvania. This is to be eighty
pound stuff. The first consignment
should arrive in Ardmore by the frs.
of the coming week and will be IN
loaded from the Washington street
spur Of the Frisco
The management have made ar
rangements to have all their material
set out on this spur and within the
next twenty days something like 125
cars Of material will be unloaded
there.
Mr.. Hopkins, general superintend-
ent of the Frisco lTes was in the
city yesterday in conference with
Mr. Ringing relative to terminal ia
cilities and other matters concerning
the new road. Mr.. Ringing is st,ll
in the city.
Mr. Hamon, when seen this morn
ing, said that he was too busy get
ting ready to give Ardmore a line Of
railway to the west to theorize much,
but he did remark that it had been
intimate,d that some were even yet so
skeptical that they didn't believe the
road would be built For these he
stated he had only charity and pity,
that it would be but the question of a
few days until construction work on
the road would dispel their skepti-
cism, and if that was not sufficient,
within a very few months they would
be able to ride over a bran new
railway TO the west from the city,
and he said that if that would not do,
as far as he wa sconcerned the argu-
ment was closed.
The work of laying the track will
be rapid operation with the Ken
efick Co., much of the grading is
already done and the rest is com
paratively easy and it is confidently
thought that the line will be in op-
Grafton before the time limit eX-
pires.
