This Indian reservation is locat
ed Iwtween the. Washita riveron
the north and Uetl river on the
south ami between the 98th me
ridian of w est longitude on the east
and North Fork of Rod river on the
west, and contains in round num
bers 4,0000,000 acres. From this
w ill Ik) deducted alnmtone million
acres taken up by the mountains,
and a lika amount to be allotted to
the Indians, Jeavinffabouttwomi
lion acres to be thrown open to
white settlers. Tlio lands ox-upi 1 by the mountains is only availa
hie for prazinr purposes and the rich mineral deposits contained there
in. These it is claimed are rich in gold, Bilver, tin, ana coal,,
are Mill to 1h developed.
The lands outside of the mountains are undulating prairie, well wa
tuvd with living streams of water and springs, while water is found
l.v di"nnr nt denths of twenty to thirty feet. All the streams bear
a nioro or less frinjro of timler, while large areas are covered with
growth of mesijuite" trees, a timber which make good fence jiosts and
is excellent fuel. Other sections and some streams bear a growth of
timber large, enough to saw into lumlier. Any or all of these timber
lands are productive, and will make line farms.
By an Act of Congress approved June 1900, the above reserva
tion is to be opened to settlement, On the north side of this roserva
lion is another known as the Wichita reservation, which may , be in
eluded at .the same time, but this is not yet known. The law open
ing the reservation provides that the allotments shall le made in from
three to six months, and makes it the duty of tie President to issue
a proclamation opening the country within six months after the allot
ments are made. It is not likely that the president will take the six
months, and ho may issue his procamation immediately after the al
Jotments arc made. Thus it may le seen the lands may open at any
time from tho early spring to summer of next year.
Thero need be no doubt of tho productive
ness of these lands. They have Iteen tried
in every quarter with a result that has pro
duced 20 to 30 bushels of wheat, and 40 to
,r0 bushels of corn per acre. These crops
liavn hpfm lMised hv farmers Iivinc on Indi- .i-v--
an lands. Tho valleys of the Washita, of L
nore or loss cultivated every year, and al-
1 .... Tu- l l-
ay jjivu j;hiu iaui na. iuo upiuuua uiu rs.
productive of all cereals, and afford the fin-
);t "razinsr in the world.
Tho lands to be opened to white settle- '
ment, after tho Indian has taken his allotment, will give homes to
nearly 10,000 families. Iho price of these lands will be $1.25 per
acre, payable at tho end of five years residence. No better chance to
get a homo in this superb climate will ever be known again. The
climate is all that can be desired, being a happy medium between the
hot climate of Texas and the cold climate of Kansas or Missouri. The
days are never excessively hot, nor the winters excessively cold. In
summer flays the mercury seldom goes above' a hundred, while the
nisrhts are invariably cool. In winter the mercury seldom sroes be-
low zero, and then for only a day or two. The reservation has one
line of railroad on its northern border, following the Washita river,
with two more surveyed and will probaMy bo built lxtfore the open
ing, which will give market facilities equal to an older country,
Chickasha, Indian Territory, lies two miles east of the eastern
ltorder of this Indian reservation, and is a city of 4,000 people, with
all that roes to make a city of that size. It is lighted with electricity.
has a 500 barrel per day flooring mill, an 80-ton per day cotton seed
oil mill, local and long distance telephone, is one of the scats of the
I . i. Court system, two wholesale grocery stores, ten retail grocery
stores, eight dry goods houses, fonr gents furnishings, four hardware
and implement houses, four lumber yarde, three banks, five drug
stc res, tw o jewelry stores, one steam carpentei shop, three hotels,
lot'g'ng houses, and restaurants in numbers, together with all shops
of blacksmiths. Uxt and shoe, etc.. that go to make up a growing,
pushing city. It has six church buildings, with stated preachers,
tw o school buildings in w hich school is maintained every year.
Tho people of the city and surrounding country are intellectual and
cultivated people gathered from nearly every state in the Union. No
I letter people exist anywhere.
The city is incorporated, has a mayor and board of aldermen, and
aw and order prevail here as in older states and communities.' Bus-j
ncss is carried on, debts are collected, offenses against morality or
any disorder or crime punished, the same as in the states. Don't
think that because this is the Indian Territory that the people are
outlaws, and that all is "wild and wooly." The "Indians" in this vi
cinity are among our most respected people progressive, educated
and refined. These ere the Indian Territory "Indians,"' the reserva
tion Indian is not the same, yet he is peaceable and fast civilizing.
Your life, your property and your earnings are as safe here as in the
oldest state in the I nion.
'The city of Chickasha is improving very fast, having doubled its
population in the past IS months. Brick and stone buildings are go
ing up all tho timer Prices on property are advancing all the time.-
If you want to keep up with this country's developemer.t send a
dollarfir the Weekly Express, one year, and you w ill get it all.
