Roman Catholicism

Menace, an anti. Catholic paper.
1t was so amusing that we could
not resist the temptation of re-

at all agree with the Catholic
doctrine, yet We have many
friends who are Catholics, and
they are as good citizens as are
found in the States. They are
clean men, and we have lady
friends and acquaintance who
belong to that Society who are
as pure as an angel. We do not
wish to sling mud and we do not
intend to. All Catholics are not

do not believe that the Catholics

freight and passengers, known as ac-

important farm crops of the United
States this year are worth $5,06S, ,742,-

value of the same crops last year,
Notwithstanding a loss of $4lS. .G0O, 600

Preliminary estimates Of the i'm

statistics of the average prices paid
TO producers on November / indicate
that this years wheat and corn crops
are the most valuable ever grown in
the United States, that the wheat and
apple crops are record harvests, and
the potato crop is the second largest
ever raised.
The huge wheat crop and the in
creased price of that cereal, the large
corn and apple crops and the In

Segregated Coal and Asphalt Area
10 Be Sold For Benefit Of
Indians

The segregated coal and asphalt
area of the Choctaw and Chickasaw
Nations, otherwise known as Oklaho-
mas legislative desert, is soon to
pass from a tribal domain to private
ownership in $40 and 160-acre tracts.
Within the district underlying the
surface of some of it being proven
coal and asphalt beds, there are
about four hundred and thirty-one
Thousand acres. Only 385,000 acres
are to be sold. The sales will be by
public auction, beginning at Stigler,
Nov. 16.
"A number of Guthrie people are
interested in coal and other proper
ty on the east side near the segre-
gated land to be sold and will take
advantage of this sale by adding to
their holdings.
Discovery of valuable mineral beds
in Eastern Oklahoma a half century
ago came as a surprise to the Indian
population To the whites 1t was
nothing short of Jolt since the land
when traded to the Indians was be-
lieved to be without value. Removal
of the Cherokees from Georgia was
primarily due to agitation of whites
who wanted the Indians lands said
to be of fabulous wealth in gold The
Choctaws and Chickasaws, tribes
that have been related by marriage
ties and allied for many years, were
given their present home for lands in
the Southeast, the latter being fer
tile and promising. 1t was the gov
ernments dream three quarters of a
century ago to organize a state or
territory to be inhabited exclusively
by Indians, and as a starter shifted
the Five Tribes to what is now East
ern Oklahoma. Comments of that
period indicated that the government
believed it good trade, as well as
enjoyed good riddance of the In
dams who had been a source of no
little trouble. The territory was then
on the fringe of civilization, with lit
tie prospect of value save as a dis
trict for the Indian TO roam and hunt
in, and no one of that time serious
ly believed that civilization of the
whites would oyertake them for sew
eral generations.
No Leases to White Citizens.
The discovery Of minerals is not
clear in the Territory's history, but
for many years outcroppings of veins
Of coal were known along the ridges
OF the Choetaw and Chickasaw hills.
A condition impressed upon the In
dian when he consented to move to
the new country was that he would
be left alone in the full enjoyment of
il. and it was one of the early de-
crees of the ChOctaws and Chicka-
saws that whites be not permitted
within their domain. Other laws, as
late as those of 1867. prohibited the
leasing OF land to an alien Zone who
was not a member of the tribe) for
any purpose. Another decree impos-
ed the death penalty for a citizen Of
the tribe who lased for mineral pur-
poses the land the tribe permitted
him TO hold.
The first coal in any quantity was
taken from the ground in what is now
the McAlester district. and more
properly speaking. near the site OF
old North McAlester. One of the
more daring citizens. an intermarried
white man. trifled with the law by
leasing a portion OF his ground to
a railroad company to mine coal.
