Big Land Sale

Gradually and surely, the remains
ing lands in Indian reservations are
being sold out to settlers and the ma
tive American is being crowded into
closer quarters Just now the big
gest sale of lands ever conducted by
the Government is in progress in Ok
lahoma, in the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw nations, the area comprising ag-
ricultural, coal and timber lands.
II was begun at Chickasaw and
will close at Odabel, in McCurtain
county, on December gath The land
is in % counties and is being sold at
the county seats.
Some of the 100000 acres contains
timber, but the most of it is valu-
able for agricultural or grazing pur-
poses. When the lands of the Choc-
taws and Chickasaws were allotted
among those tribes there was a con
siderable portion left over in each of
the Indian nations, and ii is this resi-
due that is now being disposed of.
In addition to the unallotted lands
there are to be sold also the segre-
gated coal and asphalt lands and tim
her tracts of the Choctaw and Chick
aSaw nations. and it is understood
that these will so on the market soon
after January 1st. There are $4,000
acres of the mineral and coal lands.
and i.292, 900 acres of segregated tim
her lands,
The men who appraised the Okla
homa timber lands were experts, who
came as rule from British Column
bia and other portions of the North
west.
The expert appraisers were amazed
at the conditions they found and
which upset the theories of the For
estry Bureau relative to reforesta-
ton. They found that the areas from
which timber had been cut was re-
foresting naturally and the new
growth of timber to be in a flour
ishing condition. In the rapidly dis
appearing pine forests of the north,
and on the mountain ranges of the
Northwest, it is we'll established that
the only means Of reforesting an
area from which the timber has
been cut or burned is by tedious
and expensive method.

A GOOD EXAMPLE

Mr.. Vincent Astor, who recently
became of age and came into the in
heritance Of his fathers estate, has
shown his manlineSs and his dispo-
sitlon to exercise careful supervi-
sion over the vast amount OF wealth
now in his possession by making a
personal investigation of his estate
as one Of the first acts of his ma
Iority, III order that he might be
conversant with each separate piece
Of property, but particularly that he
might know il any of his numerous
buildings were being used for inn
moral purposes This step on the
part of Mr.. Astor was prompted by
the revelations during recent inves.
legations into the vice situation in
New York City that many oil the
most notorious resorts of the city
were owned by men Of at least nom
inal prominence. In many instances
these conditions existed because the
immediate owners had placed their
property in the hands of others who
did not exercise the proper amount
Of precaution in leasing the build
ings. Mr., Aston has forestalled any
such condition in his properties by a
personal inspection OF them, doing it
quietly and without ostentation. Ii
Is apparently a genuine and unseen
sational attempt on the part Of a
large property owner to inform him
self Immediately and thoroughly OF
the condition of the property for
which he is ultimately responsible.
This action Of Mr.. Astor is laudable
and affords an excellent example to
other large property owners.

High Cost of
Living Due
for a Drop

81 believe the high cost of living
bugaboo will have disappeared two
years from now"
Such was the declaration of Daniel
O. Lively, chief of the livestock de-
partment of the Panama Pacific Ex-
position, in the court of discussion
in the international livestock show in
Chicago recently.
This country is going to see won
ders worked by the farmers and live
stock raisers within the next few
years." he said. Everywhere | go
ard everything | hear indicates that
we are on the threshold of an era OF
great prosperity
Mr.. Lively blames the underpro-
dLction of cattle for the present con
dition of living costs. He said the
bulk of Western lands are best fitted
for stock grazing and that the farm
et sold his birthright for a mess OF
cold turkey when he turned from the
splendid beef production of the old
days to raising grain.
"The production of livestock is
going to grow in leaps and bounds
for the reason that the farmer and
small ranchman finally have realized
the profit there is in raising livestock;
especially as contrasted against
truck farming" he continued. "The
generous prices paid for stock in the
open market, combined with the
work of the agricultural colleges to-
ward this end, has helped convince
the farmer that he'd better change
and reap this new field Two years
will see the West back at its old
game of cattle raising-and perhaps
the old-style cowboy may come back
