INDIAN LANDS
THROWN OPEN
This Fall for Settlement By Unit
ed States.
Five Hundred and Five Thousand Acres
to Be Sold for the Indians in
Oklahoma.
Lawton, O. F., Oct 10 Allott
ing crews appointed by the Secre
tary of the Interior having complet
ed surveys of the lands that are to
be segregated and presented to the
members of the Kiowa, Comanche
and Apache Indians born since
June 6, 1900, everything is in
readiness for the last great open
ing of public lands in Oklahoma
the 505,000 acres of Kiowa, Co
manche and Apache Indian Pasture
of Southwest Oklahoma. The
opening must take place under the
law before Dec. 6 next.
Owing to the fact that babies
have been born in these tribes since
the beginning of the allotment, it
is not possible prior to the approval
of the Surveyor's report by the
department to give exactly the
number of quarter sections that are
to be taken for the Indian babies.
Quanah Parker, the Comanche
Chief, estimates it at 400, and it is
quite probable the number will
not exceed this estimate.
THREE TOWNSITES SURVEYED
Three town sites have been
surveyed in the Big Pasture, each
containing 160 acres. The lots in
these are to be sold at public auc
tion to the highest bidders for cash.
The sale will probably take place
during the time that bids are be
ing submitted for the remainder of
the lands, subject to entry.
These town sites are in. a line
east and west, and are about
Ltwenty-five miles apart. They are
situated in. the heart of the Big
Pasture and at distances of fifteen
to thirty miles from any of the
present towns along the border of
the pasture.
In view of the fact that the town
'site of Lawton, at public auction
sale, conducted under the supervis
ion of the Interior Department,
brought nearly half a million dol
lars, it is estimated that the three
new town sites will bring enormous
sums of money prribably a mil
lion dollars will be realized from
the three.
The sealed bid plan of disposing
of the pasture lands is objection
able to the majority of the citizens
of Southwest Oklahoma, and par
ticularly to the Indians who are in
terested. It is estimated that the
lands would have brought a million
dollars more at public auction than
through sealed bids. Past exper
ience here have 'demonstrated this
fact, and this accounts for the
decision of Secretary Hitchcock for
the public auction plan in selling
town-site lots.
The chiefs and subchiefs of the
three tribes interested recently held
a convention at Anadarko. the
headquarters of the Indian agency,
and discussed plans for urging the
department to adopt the public
auction method. Quanah Parker,
chief of the Comanches, who is
known as "the smartest Indian of
them all," sent a telegram to the
President asking that a decision as
to the method of .sale be held up
pending the arrival in 'Washington
of a communication from the In
dians. But the memorial prepared
by the Indians was too late, the
plan of sale had already been
agreed upon.
A recent order from the depart
ment, received by the local United
States land office, provides that
field notes of the lands to be sold
be placed on exhibition, in charge
of officials- of the department, at
the towns of Lawton, Anadarko,
Hobart and Frederick.
This is done for the benefit of
prospective purchasers.
Only nine townships of the BigJ
Pasture, which, lies six miles-soiith
of this city, have been designated
for Frederick and thus the major
portion of the Big Pasture, contain
ing about 480.000 acres, will have
its field notes on exhibition at the
Lawton land office.
The entries of purchasers are to
be made at.the Lawton land office
in a manner provided by the Gov
ernment homestead laws. No
matter where the lands are purchas
ed the entries must be made " here,
for all the pasture lands are includ
ed in the Lawton land district.
A purchaser must be a qualified
homestead entryman and shall not
submit a bid for less than the
minimum price, $5 per acre, fixed
by the act of Congress that provides
for the sale of these lands. One
fifth of the purchase price is Ito
be paid at the time of purchase
and the other four-fifths in four
equal annual installments.

Waterbury Dog Js Full Jeweled.
Waterbury, Conn., While Mrs.
George L. Hemingway, a well
known society woman of this city,
who is a guest at the Granite Bay
Hotel, Short Beach, was playing
with her thoroughbred bulldog
yesterday she lost a solitaire dia
mond ring valued at $200. A
search of the premises failing to
reveal the missing gem, John Speh,
the hotel proprietor, declared that
the dog had swallowed it. Mrs.
Hemingway laughed at the idea,
but Speh pleaded that the dog
might be killed offering to pay a
round sum for the animal rathef
than have his caravansary rest
under suspicion. Mrs. Heming
way refused.
"Well, then," said Speh- "make
the pupcough up.'' And he sent
for a physician.
When the doctor arrived he
found Speh standing over the dog,
which was promptly given auem
etic. The result was all that could
be desired, and the missing ring; .
was recovered.
Texas Cotton Mills.
Georgia produced 1,900,000 bales
of cotton as her contribution to
the cotton crop of 1905-06. The
figures for Texas for the same
crop were 2,674,740, bales. That
is Texas raises 774,740 bales more
than Georgia.
But Georgia consumes more cot
ton in her mills than does Texas.
The figures are: Georgia, 514,673
bales consumption; Texas, 36,896
bales. The year's increase of
Georgia's consumption is nearly
as great as the total Texas con
sumption. Texas raises 774,740
bales of cotton more than Georgia,
but consumes 77,777 bales less'.
The figures show plainly that
Texas is very much behind in the
matter of cotton mills. What are
our capitalists going to do about
it? Houston Chronicle,
