Tulsa a Good Town.
President Schmelzer of the
Kansas City Commercial Club
says in the Journal of the 24:
“Tulsa is the center of as fine
a country as I ever saw. The
town entertained us royally on
our last trip, and we had every
reason to feel glad at its express-
ed desire to get into this place.
It needs only twelve miles of rail-
way, and then we would have 150
of this country was filled with
Indians. After he returned to
Kansas he remained with the In-
dians, hunting and trading, for
about ten years.
He established a trading post
on Drum Creek, in what is now
Montgomery county, Kansas,
where he remained till 1870, when
the Osages moved to their pres-
ent reservation. With the re-
moval of the Indians to the new
reservation, Dunlap went to the
miles the advantage of St. Louis Silver Lake agency, near what is
in getting into a vast country
there that is becoming richer ev-
ery day. Tulsa is no mushroom
town, it is an older place than
many in the Territory, and it
should he connected with us by
as direct a route as possible. I
think the club will be disposed to
help the little city all that is pos-
sible.
Was an Early Indian lrader.
Robert W. Dunlap, who died at
Cleveland last week, was widely
known among Indians and fron-
tiersmen in the Southwest.
Among the Usages he was called
Pahopy. He was born in Temp-
kins county, New York, in 1857,
and came west when lb years old.
About 1857 he left Topeka for
southern Kansas to hunt along
the Arkansas river, near what is
now the city of Wichita. He fell
in with the Osage Indians, then
camped on the Neosho river. The
Indians were just ready to start
out on their fall hunt, and the
party joined them and went with
them to their western hunting
grounds in Kansas, where they
wintered with the tribe. In the
spring Dunlap and bis party left
the Osages and went down
through Colorado to New Mexico,
then east into Texas and return-
tiow Bartlesville. Upon the re
moval of the agency to Pawhus-
ka, owing to the fad that it was
found that it was on the Chero-
kee side of the line, he moved to
the Hominy sub-agency, situated
on Big Hominy, north of the
present trading post by that
name. L iter he moved back to
his former place at Drum Creek,
where lie established a horse
ranch, buying horses from the
south and west and selling them
to the new settlers who were fast
tilling up Southern Kansas. La-
ter he ran a ferry for many years
at the Cleveland crossing of the
Arkansas river.

To Represent the Cherokees.
Brigadier General W. J. Watts
has appointed Miss Katherine
McGuire of Wagoner as inaid of
honor to represent the Cherokee
brigade at the Memphis reunion
of the United Confederate Veter-
ans. Miss McGuire will leave
with the brigade Monday for
Memphis and after the reunion
will go east into Tennessee to
visit relatives. She is the daugh-
ter of the postmaster at Wagoner,
and is one of Indian Territory’s
beautiful girls. She recently
won first place in a “beauty” con-
gest held by a newspaper. She is
a native of Kansas, and says she
is proud of it. She is not a Cher-
okee, as her choice of maid of
honor by the Cherokee brigade
might indicate.
