CHEROKEE NATION
TO Be DISSOLVED
SSIONER SELLS GIVES IN
STRUcTIONS FOR DISSOLUTION
AT MIDNIGHT, JUNE 80.

Muskogee, Okla, June 2S.-The Cher
okee Indian Nation, as tribal entity,
will be dissolved at midnight on June
30, orders to this effect having been
received here from Commissioner of
Indian Affairs Cato Sells.
]. George Wright, Commissioner to
the Five Civilized Tribes, and w. w.
Hastings, Cherokee tribal attorney, re-
ceived kilograms from Commissioner
Sells instructing them to prepare for
the dissolution.
There is some 100000 left in the
hands of the government to the Chero-
KEGS, of whom there were originally
41,79S. This means that within ninety
days a per capita payment of some SIS
will be made to wind up the affairs
of the Nation and wipe clean the ac-
count between the Indians and the
United States government.

the tribe was the last to be signed
with the five Nations. Yet there were
more Cherokees than there were mem
bers of any of the other four tribes,
and consequently more allotments and
more work required in the distribution
of the vast acreage in northeastern
Oklahoma, which had been set apart
as their tribal domain.
Practically Abolished in 1906.
The tribal government was practi
cally dissolved by the act of Oct. 26
1906, at which time the legislative and
judicial branches of the Cherokee gov
ernment were discontinued, however
with w. C. Rogers as chief, w. w
Hastings as national attorney, a su
perintendent of education and a mum
ber of clerical assistants necessary tc
handle the routine business connected

with issuing patents on land and SIM
liar instruments, Rogers was the last
chief of the Cherokees to be elected
and has served since 1904, being ap-
pointed to succeed himself after cleo
tions were discontinued by the con-
gressional act of abolishing most of
the tribal offices. w. w. Hastings of
Tahleauah has been Cherokee attor-
ney since the death of Judge Lyman
F. Parker in 1905.
Two important matters of litigation
had to be fought out in the Cherokee
Nation in the last ten years before
the tribal affairs were established on
final basis One is known as the
Whitmore cause, in which 1,7OO ne
groes unsuccessfully sought to be en-
rolled as members of the tribe in or
der to secure allotments The other
was the newborn baby case, which
was of far more Importance than the
Whitmore case.
During the years between 1902 and
1906 there were $50 babies born in
the Cherokee tribe. The tribal coun-
Gil voted to admit these ''newborns'
to full participation in the allotment
of lands which meant the distribution
of S5,61O,OO0 worth of land to these
children. Some persons in the Ma
ton resisted the act of the council,
and the case went into court, the SUI
preme court of the United States
finally admitting the "newborns' to
full citizenship.
At the conclusion of the allotment
of lands it was found that 4,42O,O7O
acres of land had been allotted to
Al, 79S Cherokees.
Wild and Romantic History.
There is no history in the world as
wilc and romantic and so fraught with
national lore as that of the Cherokees.
They were the principal tribe in Geor-
gia and North Carolina in 1880, when
Andrew Jackson, then president, or
dered their removal to the lands set
apart for them west of the Mississippi
River. A few of the Indians had al
ready come to the present Cherokee
Nation, among them being Senator
Robert L. Owens parents The main
body of the tribe finally began their
long march of horror and starvation
in which a fourth of their number
died by the wayside. They established
their tribal headquarters at Tahlequah
built homes, schools and churches
and lived as they had done in the
east, as nearly as possible. Their ter
ritory then extended from the Arkan
sas settlements to the Rocky Noun
tains, and from the northern part o.
the present Usage Nation to the Texas

gave the lie direct to Penrose. This
circular said:
"Our factory is now running until
10 o'clock each night in order to make
quick delivery. Business with us is
very good, which is true of a large
number of dealers who handle our
line"
Since then the Pennsylvania politi-
cal pulpit orator has had nothing to
say about the Sharples company NOV
ing its plant to Germany, but he has |
continued to make assertions equally |
as far from the truth.
In Ohio former Senator Joseph B. |
Foraker has thrown his hat into the
ring by announcing himself as can
didate for the senate to succeed Sen
ator Burton, who is a republican and
whose term expires on the fourth of
next March Senator Burton foresaw
the republican complications in his
state long ago and announced that he
would not be a candidate to succeed
himself. His action brought to the
surface of the republican political sea
in the Buckeye state several aspirants
who had been inundated by the demo-
cratic wave, and they have been max
ing grasps at the senatorial straw, but
since Foraker put his head above the
water they have nearly all disappear
ed. So, in Ohio. as in New York and
PENNSYLVANIA, has the old reactionary
element come to the front in the re-
publican organization, for among all OF
them there is none who can stand pat
ter than Fire Alarm" Foraker. He
| is withal the ablest of the aggregation,
and a past grand marshal of the old
guard.
In Illinois, Uncle Joe" Cannon, un-
daunted by his defeat two years ago,
has announced that he will try it again
and endeavor to come back. AS to
Uncle Joe's qualifications for member
ship in the old guard, no comment is
needed. Former representative Will
liam B. Mckinley, erstwhile manager
of Taft's pre-convention campaign and
former chairman of the republican
congressional committee, is another
who will seek congressional honors
again.
In South Dakota representative
Charles II. Burke, pronounced stand
patter, has already defeated Senator
Coe |. Crawford, progressive repub-
lican, for the republican nomination
for the senate.
In Washington Senator Wesley L..
Jones, standpatter is seeking re-elec-
ton and has the inside track for the
republican nomination.
In Utah, Senator Reed Smoot, arch
reactionary. is the only candidate for
the republican nomination for the SEN
ate.
So it is that from one end of the
country to the other the members OF
the old guard are pressing forward and
seeking prominence in republican
councils. In fact, they have all but
gotten control of the party organiza-
tion in most of the states, and re-
publican victory accordingly means a
return to the old policies against
which the country so long fought and
finally succeeded in ousting

Washington, June 2S.-One of the

BIC CARGO Of COTTON
WILL CO FROM SAVANNAH
Steamship HermOin VIII Garry $4,000
Bales to Genoa Italy.

SAVANNAH Ga. Dec. 16-The Nor
wegian steamer Hermion will sail
within the next few days for Genoa,
Italy, with the largest cargo of cotton
that has left this port this season for
a foreign country. The Hermion's car
go will consist of $4,000 bales of cot
ton. The cargo, if sold in this coun-
try, would be valued at approximately
$4,000, but because of far greater de-
mand for this staple in foreign coun-
tries, at this time, its value will I'M
doubtedly be considerably more. The
Hermion is one of seven steamers in
port loading cotton for foreign ports.

1t exports annually about 28,000,000
pounds of butter, considerable of
which is imported by Denmark, there
mixed with Danish butter, and re-ex-
ported as native product.
"The forests of Finland are it's
greatest natural wealth. They furnish
the sole fuel of the Finnish people.
The Firms heat and energize their
country with wood, burning wood in
their homes, factory furnaces, rail-
way trains, steamboats,, and upon the
rocky soils to- fertilize them.
However, Finland has built up a
sound foreign business by preserving
attention to its three staples. Salmon
and hake from Finnish fisheries reach
even the United States markets. Be-
sides rich coastal fisheries, the Firms
take large and valuable fresh water
catches in their rivers and lakes For
ests literally blanket the country. Pa
per pulp forms one of the largest
items of Finland's export of forestry
products. In 1912, it exported 251.-

quantities of lumber

of Finland, and the little country

ICE AND SNOW
INSURE SAFETY
Of FINLAND
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. TO-
One of the most isolated of all the re-
gions belonging to the belligerent
powers of Europe's great war is Fin
land. 1t is five thousand miles nearer
the scene Of hostilities than far
Eastern Russia, and yet it is now safe
behind ramparts of ice and snow for
many months to come. The story of
the Finland of today is told in
statement given to the press by the
National Geographic society, which
follows:
Finland, the enlarged isthmus
which joins Sweden, Norway and
Lappland to the continent Of Europe,
and which is about two-th;rds sur
rounded by the waters of the Cuffs of
Finland and Bothnia, and by those of
the White Sea, is somewhat larger
than the combined area of the states
of Georgia, South Carolina and North
Carolina. Its population is upward
of three million souls, in spite of the
fact that it's extreme southern boun-
Diary is as far north as Cape Farewell,
Greenland. It's latitude corresponds
generally to the southern half of
I Alaska.
yet in spite of this far-northern
position of Finland, it imports nearly
a hundred million dollars worth of
merchandise every year and exports
about seventy million dollars worth
of commodities-thes being made up
principally of wood, fish and butter.
"Finlands foreign trade has ex-
banded rapidly during the past twenty
years. The growth in it's exports has
been steady, and their nature is such
as to insure them firm markets, re-
CARELESS of seasons, modes, political
situations, Or of the general depres-
sion of business. Under all condi-
tions, the foodstuffs of Finland, butter,
fish, and in lesser quantity, grain, find
their way readily into the markets
of Europe. Also, there is an increas-
ing demand for Finland's wood pulp
for the manufacture of paper.
Finland is a wonderful dairy land,
possessing 100000 COWS, or one COW
for every two people. Dairy cattle
| from Denmark have be enused to i'm
prove the native breed, and this out
lying country is fast becoming one Of
Europe's most important creameries

AMER|CUS FOLKS
WARNED AGAINST
BURGLAR RAIDS

Several Americas residences and
stores have been burglarized recent
ly, and from nearly every Georgia
town and city come reports Of similar
nature. The burglars, are evidently
abroad in numbers and the family
shotgun or axe, backed by the reliable
bulldog, should be given full play. The
following half dozen "don'ts" may be
applied proftably in Americas, as else
where:
Don't keep any money in the house.
If you haven't enough to put in some
bank, spend it. Better by far that the
merchant, the milk man, the grocer,
or the butcher, or even the washerwo-
man, should get it than the burglar.
Don't overlook locking all the
doors and fastening all the windows
before going to bed. The one window
overlooked affords the easiest access
to burglar.
Don't keep a light burning in the
hall, or in any room all night Such
light is a great aid to the burglar
and above all things, you should never
be accommodating to a burglar. He is
one of the most ungrateful men in any
line of business.
Don't go visiting or leave the house
for any purpose, not even to go Christ
mas shopping early with the front OF
back door Unattached. The burglar ha.
no special preference for either door
and ten to one he is watching you.
Don't leave the back door open afte
dark. Nothing tickles a burglar 81
much as to find the back door invitiny
him in while the lady of the house il
shut up in a front room. 1t gives hin
chance to slip in out of the weather
by hiding in closet or under the bed
Don't hesitate to shoot burglar !:
you should find one in the house. Nine
ty-nine times out of hundred you viii
miss him anyway, but the report of thu
pistol might cause him to make
break for liberty. Never give or be az
accessory to giving a burglar his lib
erty. There are too many at libert!
now. Hold him and boiler.
Don't blame the burglar if you have
made it dead easy for him to enter
your house. The burglar never bur
giles a house he can't get into.
