suggestions and recommendations
as ho may deem expedient, that
may be put into execution or ig
nored at your volition.
A very grave responsibility has
devolved upon you, for your every
action is certain to be approved or
condemned by your people as it
reaches towards qr recedes from
tho principles of right and justice.
Bairn new from the people ac
quainte you with thai' desires and
nmdt. In the interest of your
e ve and ".oorb having an equal
uharw in Ibis estate, each of yuu
has, no doubt, recently Bought and
obtained the earnest wishes of your
coneiittunls as to the beBt method
to purBue in unraveling the tangled
conditions of affairs oi your coun
try. You bear your commieBionu from
u,pcoplo who truBt and conOdo in
your Integrity and ability and who

Tho passage or failure of any

c t delay to the consideration of
bso subjeots ol suoh eminent
J bllo concetn and to which your
attention in some degree will be
invited; tho consideration of nbd
action upon vital interests to the
public should not be deferred until
the cloeing days of council and
then be disposed of amid hurry
and confusion.
Your committees, which aro
charged with tho formulation and
investigation of bills of a publio
nature should begin work instantly.
This will save you the annoyance
of defeating or passing laws with
out the consideration their Im
portance deserves, and may save
you from tho criticism of unduly
prolonging the session of council
and unnoceesnrlly Increasing the
expenses. There is no reason why
the last days of this session should
bo crowded with business if, at the
becinnlnc, you should address
yourselves to your several duties.
With thU Introductory I will
now, In accords::..: itn tno pre
cedents of my official duly, submit
to you a review of publio events of
tho past year that concerns the
interest and welfare of the Chero
kee people, connecting therewith
such suggestions, which, I trust,
will meet with your favorable
action.
NECROLOGY.
Ojw by mo of our aged patriots

nation we should bo thankful to
our Heavf nly Father for his spar
ing mercies and watchful care over
the hundreds who bavo had their

of our country. I am gratelul (o

a small number of those who have
heretofore given good and faithful
service to their people, have re
ceived their last Bummons during
the year just closed
Joseph A. dcales was born in the
old Cherokee nation, east of the
Mississippi river, and upon the
dissolution of tribal government
there came to this country. He
received bis education in the
schools of our nation and was a
student all through life. He filled
with credit and distinction the po

and executive secretary.

MINERAL LEASES
Under Sec. 13, of tho Act of Con
gress of June 23th, 1803, known as
the Curtis law, the Secretary of
tho Interior assumes the authority
to grant Iobsob upon our lands for
tho purpose of mining minorals
and oil. I was advised by letter
dated July 10, 1001, from the Hon
orable Commissioner of Indian Af
fairs, that tbo Honorable Secretary
of the Interior would after the ex
piration of thirty days from tho
11th day ol July, 1001, that Is ou
the 11th day of August, consider
tho application of tho Cherokee Oil
and Gas company, an Arkansas
corporation, ior tho lease of cer
tain lands in the Cherokee nation.
I immediately addressed a letter
to tho Secretary requesting a post
ponement of notion in order to ob
tiin some data, An oxtenslon of
thirty days was granted, and the
attorneys for the Cherokee nation
submitted the nations brief nnd ar
gument in opposition to tho appli
cation of the said company, before
the Honorable Secretary of the In
terior Sept. 10, last, nnd I also en
tered a vigorous protest against
tho granting of such a lease, which
aocompnnies this message for your
Information. Again the Secretary
postponed action unlit the 7th day
of October.
The granting of leases of any
kind at this time would only com
plicate matters more nnd prolong
our dying days. I believe the cit
izens of this nation want to hold
their lands, when it is Individual-
Ized, under the same system and
tenure as the United Slates make
It to her citizens owners of every
eTpe'iafl.; AdSrcS ""B brtiMih as well as above tho
Dr u. V
I surface. During tho ten years
which tills Iohpo has run, which
the Cherokee Oil nnd Gas com
pany now seek to gel possession
of, the paltry sum of .twenly-fiva
dollars has been received by. the
nation as royalty.
Such returns to our common
treasurer does not justify the ro
tating, for a score of years, the
progress and advancement of
thirty-six thousand land holders,
besides Ilia great hardship, the
leasing of this land now would
cftuso double that number of in
dustrious United Slates citizens al
ready in our midst.
Notwithstanding my efforts and
the efforts of (be attorneys for the
nation to prevent the leasing of
our lands, the Interior Depart
ment last month leased to the
Cherokoo Oil and Gas company
eleven thousand five hundred and
twenty acres of land in CooweeB-
C00W09 district.
I immediately ordered injunc
tion proceedings against tho Sec
retary and his subordinates to re
strain them from issuing said lease.
This arbitrary action should bo op
posed by us in every legnl way
possible, and you should make
provisions to follow it to the high
est courlBof the land.
EDUCATION.
Among the many milo poats that
mark the progress of our onward
course, there is none more promi
nent than tho educational institu
tions of the Cherokeg nation.
For their inauguration nnd organ
ization full crodit must bo' given to
our far eeoing ancestors, tho real
Cherokee Indian, i
Our schools stand out conspicu
ously as an embodiment of tho
highest and best type, of tho ad
vancement nnd christian growth
and aro lasting monuments of the
spirit of thriltiness of this people.
In our high schools was provided
for, and is tenaciously held, the
idea of separate education for the
Bexes. In these seminaries tho
young men and tho young women
are kopl in touch with the world
without being ruthlessly thrust
upon It to tho detriment of woman
ly gentleness and purity, and man
ly character and strength.
11 is a aoutv" of much gratidce-
lion to wilnett the placing of
young women ai d young men up
on their honor, tlius making Iheiu
ladylike and gentlemanly in their
conduct. Self responsibility is an
nducativn force to the student.
The coureo of study of our high
schools should, step by step, be
made oo equal to that of the cur
riculum of tho colleges of the sur
rounding stateB, so that the Cher
okee youth could acquire at home
the high literary culturo afforded
"by tho best colleges. The prepar
atory department should, in real
ity, preparo for the collegiate
course. Our neighborhood or pri
mary schools can and should bo
made moro efficient. It can be ac
cimplished by tho selection of bet
ter qualified teachers and a close
supervision of school room work.
On our board of education should
be tho best talent our country af
fords and men of Inch moral
stamina.
There is now in operation, at
the expense of the Cherokee na
tion: Primary schools, 12-1; High
schools, 3; Teachers employed in
primary schools, 128; Teachers
employod in high schools, 13; Ag
gregate attendance of pupils for
fall term of 1000 and spring term
of 1001, 4180; Average attendance
for samo timo, 2417. Tho small
allendanoo the past year is attrib
uted largely to the prevalence of
smallpox throughout the country.
Enrollment at tho male seminary
for tho year 1000-1001, 282; Aver
age attendance, 137; Pupils enroll
ed at tho female seminary for tho
year 1000-1001, 221; Average ot-
tendance, 135.
Average attendance of pupils at
the colored high school, 3-1. -
This shows an Increased intorest
in our high schools and naturally
raises tho.question of their support
under this additional attendance
of pupils.
Our Echool annutties aro now
$,2,605.00.
Council appropriated lost year
from primary schools', 831,015.00;
For books, $3,000; For support of
high schools, 838,041.11; Salaries
to members board of eduoation and
contingent expense, 82,250; For
international schools for blind

priations for eohool purposes 874,
800.11, which is 831,010,15 moro
than our income for the support of
our 8chool8.
You aro referred to tho report of
tho board of education ior a more
detailed statement of the condi
tion of our Bchool system. Since
the nation baa bsen donlod their
collection it appears that no part
of revenues nnd royalties due its
tin been placed to the credit of
tho school fund.
ORPHAN ASYLUM.
I hail with delight tho good re
suits that aro being accomplished
at this charitable institution. The
attendants nre treated as sons and
daughters of n well rrgulnted
homo. Superintendent, teachers
and children eat nl tho same tables
and partsko of tho same faro.
Every child is Impressed with tho
iden Hint he or she is there for n
serious purpose nnd must prepare
for future responsibilities.
The much needed repairs on this
building, for which tho council of
1000 niado an appropriation, bavo
not been reported as completed or
in progress, and for information
ooncernlng this matter you aro re
spectfully requested to apply to
lbs members of the board of edu
cation. Availablo funds for support of
Ibis institution annually amounts
to 818,733 96. Total sum appro
priated far orphan asylum last
year., 817,235,25.
This institution deserves a lib
eral appropriation for its healthy
continuance.
E3TRAY LAW.
The enle of eBtray property under
authority of a law passed by coun
cil and approved by tho president
,Drc. 27, 1000, has produced n very
satisfactory revenue. On account
of the peculiar conditions of our
government, tho enactment of such
a law is n matter of much diffi
culty, and such revisions and
nmendments should be made an
time and experience show to be
necessary and feasible.
The Inw as it now stands pro
vides that property must be adver
tised in some newspaper in the
district or by posting description
of the property in three conspicu
ous places in the district for tho
ionglh of time' required by law.
These advertisements nre mnde in
nine districts nnd in tho English
language only, which many of our
people do not understand. Very

TOO MUCH POLITICS
And loo Little Work on tho Part
Of Acting Chairman of Dawes

Tbo Causo For
His Exit.
A dispatch from Washington
states that tho Hon. Tarns Blxby
is slated for retlremsnt from- the
Dawes commission without the
formality of hia oft reported resig
nation. Tho fact that Ibis time the exit
of the ubulquitouB Tarns is not
booked on the voluntary route adds
n measuro of hopo to tho aesuranco
that it Ib true to tho residents of
tho territory who hava endured
Bixby ad nauseam these many
moons.
The following recites the causes
leading to the promised exit of
Bixby as n territorial incumbrance:
"One of tbelfirst changes in the
federal officors lof Indian terri
tory will occur in connection with
the Dawes commission. Mr.
Tarns Blxby, acting chairman of
tbe commission, has been schedul

pired tho 10th day of May last, but,
owing to the policy adopted by
President.McKinley of making few
changes'ln federal offices when the
Senate wbb not in session, and tbe
further fact that important work
was pending before the commis
sion, which was desired that Col.
Bixby,'should complete, no action

FT. OinSON MILITARY RESERVATION.
In my Inst nnnunl message I
called the attention of council to
the great damage being done to th
buildings nt Ft. Gibson, formerly
used fur tsilitury purposes by the
United States, but reverted some
years ago to tbe Cherokee nation.
Thero are many substantial houses
among tho buildings that Bhould
return n profitable revenue to us;
but thero Boems to be no authority
to collect it.
I appointed a cuBtodian to look
after tho caro of this property and
collect renlB. No one would pay
anything to him as rental and no
assistance could be obtained to
compel them to pay. Many of tbe
houses are occupied by citizens
and non-citizenB alike. I urge
you to authorize some one to tako
charge of this valuable property
(or the nation, with directions to
protect it, collect rents or to sell
it.
ASYLUM FOR INSANE, DEAF, DUMB

The report of the Bteward of this
institution shows that twonty in

1 suggest that the appropriation
for the ourrent and contingent ex,
penses of this asylum be made to
begin tho first ot January and run
the ourrent year, thus ending at
the expiration of the term of office
of the steward. The appropria
tions as heretofore mado begin
October 1st and ond tbe 80th of

Nearly a year ago Mr. Bixby left
his office and went to Minnesota
to conduct a campaign for tbe
United States sennlorship to suc
ceed Hon. Cusbman K. Davis.
This action, which was taken
without tho approval of the secre
tary, wsb looked upon al tbe time
as n violation of departmental or
ders, which prohibited officials
from taking a prominent part in
politics.
Since then other difficulties have
arisen which hive added to the
tension already existing between
the acting chairman and the de
partment. After President MoKinley'a
death the matter wbb allowed to
