Married-
C. J. Howard, the Merchant,
Leroy Oklahoma was in Tulsa,
Monday and from the sly smiles
that played about his face, The
Democrat man surmised that
something more than the market-
ing of country produce brought
him to town. Accordingly a
little inquiry revealed the fact
that by some means, fair or foul,
Rev. J. D. Voce had been pre-
vailed upon to repeat the words
which made Charley and Mrs.
Lynch, the former post-mistress
of Sinnett, man and wife.
The happy couple returned to
Leroy where they will begin
housekeeping at once.
Treaty Signed.
The Creek treaty was signed
on the 25th at 9 o’clock by Pleas-
ant Porter, chief of the Creek Na-
tion.
Lands May Be Taxable-
Some of the best lawyers in the
Indian Territory have pronounced
the lands of the Creek Nation
taxable as soon as titles issue
under the Creek treaty.

plant a large crop of cotton this year for fear of the lack of ginning
facilities. If my present capacity will not care for the crop. I will

Will Complete Polls.
A Special from Muskogee, I
T- says: Henry C. Kessler, Ap-|"" j jt
praiser in Chief of camp No. 12,
which lias been working in the
Choctaw Nation appraising lands,
was in the city last night. Ask-
ed as to how the work of land ap-
praising in the Indian Territory
is progressing, Mr. Kessler said:
“We have just completed the
appraising of the agricultural
lands in the Choctaw Nation.
Camp No. 12 has been located
about thirty miles from Mus-
kogee. The completion of ap-
praisement of agricultural lands
in the Choctaw Nation completes
the appraisement of all agricul-
tural lands in the live civilised
tribes excepting in the Cherokee
Nation, where seventeen camps
are now located appraising lands.
These seventeen camps are fast
finishing up the appraisement of
Indian agricultural lands, and
their work will be completed by
August 1.
"The timber appraisers are
now working in the timber belt in
the Choctaw Nation. The Choc-
taw country has a great deal of
fine timber lands, and these are
being appraised separately from
the agricultural lands. Six camps
are at work on this class of lands
is expected that these
camps will finish their work by
September 1. When these ap-
praising camps have finished
their work it will complete the
work of the Dawes Commission
preparatory to allotment of lands |
to the Indians.
"The Dawes Commission is now
working hard to complete the)
rolls in the Cherokee and Creek j
Nations, the rolls of the Seminolcs
having long ago been completed
and allotments of lands n >w in
progress. The rolls in the Chick-
asaw and Choctaw Nations have
been practically completed, ready
tor allotment, but the supple-1
mental treaty made between the
Chickasaw-Choctaw Commission-1
ers and the Dawes Commission
having failed of ratification by
Congress, the rolls in these na-
tions have not been closed anil
cannot be closed, therefore allot-!
menl cannot piocecd. The C»ov*j
