STILLWATER. OKLAHOMA. WEDNESDAY. MARCH 6, i9oi.
[No. 26
IIS IS OFFICIAL.
Everything Must Wait on the
Terms of the President's
Proclamation.
Incept Hint some time during the
present y«.''tr the Kiowa, Comanche and
Apache Indian lands in Southern Okla-
homa will he thrown open to settle-
ment, and cut up go ax to provide fur
10,000 home*. nobody hut the president
know* how |he opening will he nmde.
('lark, of Teiaa, has a ache i e to let
the land* by lottery, applications in
one wheel and quarter-section num.
her* in another; precedent is to elear
the landa of everybody, line the home-
steaders on the border, and start thtm
off with the track of a rifle at high
noon on a given day; the old soldier*
want the privilege of taking up their
landa by merely filing the descriptions;
without going to the point of racing to
drive a flak* into the actual ground
•nd then get in line at the land otlice.
While nobody know*, scores profess to
know.
Perhaps a notification revived by
Cayain W. K. Henry, commtnd*r of
•he G A. R., in Missouri,may enlight-
en some old soldiers who are sanguine
and at the tame time raise the heart*
of pioneers who have not landed righta
of veterans, to know that in a com-
munication direct from the depart-
ment of the interior, Commander
Henry is informed: "It is impossible
to tell in advance of th issuance of
the president's proclamation the rules
• nder which the lands will be open,
•d." Theaame communication earried
with it a public notie° issued by Sec-
retary Hitchcock, bearing upon the
lard opening. After citing the net of
eongre<a providing for the settlement
*>y whites, the notice dispose*of "soon-
•ra" by intimating troops will scour
the land. Old soldier* will be disap-
pointed to hear no one j* to he permit-
ted to make prior entry, ns many of
thnm had been led to suppose they
could hire ti land ai'ent I i«elect a nit"
for them n >w, turn over to dim their
power of attorney and let him step ui>
to lh office of the Ian I regi«t r and
file without g-'ing through the dangers
of the homestead rnc 1
The emet Innguige of S"crr'r.-y
Hitchcock's public notice fd'ows:
Whereas. it i< reliably reported tlmt
m hit per'onq have gone upon said re*,
orv.iiitin fo- the purpose of miking
entries, or making niineia1 looat on.
when «aid lands shnil have bee i duly
proclim-d to b ope i t > so tlenient
and entry;
And whereas, r.o p-< cl miation will
lie made op"tii!iK sa d l- nd< to settl--
inent until allntin nts to the Indians
►hull h nve been completed ;
And whereas, the law- of the United
Htates provide for the removal of all
Ptsoik residing or being fmi d upon
such Indian lands wiihoit p"i-inis*iou
e*pre«lv obtained fr.-m the interior
department ;
Now, therefore, for the purpose of
pro'ecling the pu'ilie in er -sts, as well
as the interests of the Indian tribe*,
and to the end thar no person or per
Hons may he indue, d to enter upon
said lands or reservations where tlvy
> ill nor be allow d to remain without
the permission of the authority nfore-
Mid, notice is hereby given that all
•nines, locations, and settlements up-
on enid reservations, as the same have
heretofore been e*t hlishe I, attempted
I" be made prior to ihj time of open-
ing thereof by the proclnmntin of the
president, yet to lie imo ■(! under ttie
provisions of the acts of congress here-
inbefore eited, arn Inrehy declared to
be illegal, and no pers in « h i h is lice
tofore attempted, or shall h*reaft r at-
tempt, to make sti di entries, locations,
or settlements prior t i micIi opening
by proclamation, will train any advant-
age thereby, hut, on the contrary, the
preference will be given te those who
legally enter upon said reservation
after the UAf 1IO ahfttl kattft liaen rlula
power of th« Pnited States will be in-
voked to abate all such unauthorized
possession, to prevent such th*eatened
entry and oeeupat ion, an<t to remofp
all such intruders from the said lands.
The allotment of lands to the Indians
of the re ervn'ions as been ordered
and will he completed as soon as possi-
ble,and proclamation will be thereupon
duly made. It is intended that those
abiding by the law «hall be protected
by it, and not those who disregard it
and seek thereby to obtain an undue
advantage over their fellow citzens,
and all persons now upon said reserva-
tions without express authority are
warned to leave the same without df-
lav.
This notice is given by direction of
the president.
E. A. HITCHCOCK, Secretary.
Commander Henry has asked the
secretary of the interior wheth-r 'a
man with a power of attorney from
each member of the association and
eariy at the land ollice, will be allowed
to fil for all the members at one
time."
Commissioner Binger Hermann, who
replied in behalf of Secretary Hitch-
eock, was unable ta answer ei;her way.
confessing no one Mould know until
the president's proclamation siiould be
issued. By the terms of one of the
Indian treaties, the president is requir-
ed to givrt twenty days' noliee, but be-
yond this, no detail* of the openinu
are known.
Old soldiers are hoping that the
Washington authorities will ee te it
that the new Indian lands are not
opened with a rush. If that meihoi
is adopted, they all eoneede, (her- will
ba no homesteads for them. Ye| a
oman report ad at the Kansas City
colony headquarters, in the Whitn-y
building yesterday, she had made the
run tan years ago and staked out a
claim. Two weeks ago she realized $3,
2l>0ca*h for thn properly, which meai -
time had kept her. and the report en-
couraged the old soldiers, who think
they can run as fust as an old woman.
Upon Congressman Clark's lott-ry
scheme the veterans look askance.
I'liey argue if everyone who remits the
statutory $14 can have their names put
in the wh-el, with the nssu -ancp of the
uoverninent that those failing to draw
a farm will have their $14 remitted
every man, woman an I child in the
United States will send m i name
What the veterans w«i t is the right to
lake up the lain! under the homestead
act, which would mean th- y cou'd nive
a power of at'ornej loan agent, h >'.'c
him go over the ground -e c t t' e sev-
