THE TALIHINA TRIBUNE
Choctaw Sanitarium
Ready For Occupancy.
Dated October 14, 1911, an act
was passed by the general Coun-
New Women's
Wearing Apparel.
A visit to
cil of the Choctaw nation provid-1 ment of our
this depart-
store will be
ing that: "A sanitarium for the
Choctaw and Chicasaw tubercu-
lar patients is hereby created
and shall be known as Choctaw-
Chickasaw Sanitarium."This bill
was signed by G. W. Dukes,
Pres. of the Senate, and Osborne
Anderson, Recording Secretary.
The house passsed the bill the
same day, and was immediately
signed by Victor M. Locke, Prin-
cipal Chief of the Choctaw Na-
tion. On May 7, 1912. the follow-
ing act was passed by the U. S.
senate, and the house concurred
on May 8, 1912:
"An act authorizing the secre-
tary of the interior to set aside
for sanatarium purposes not to
exceed four sections of the unal-
lotted tribal lands of the Choctaw
and Chickasaw Nations of Okla-
homa."
"Be it enacted by the senate
and house of representatives of
the United States of America in
congress assembled, that the
secretary of tne interior be, and
he is hereby, authorized to desig-
nate and set aside not to exceed 4
sections of the unallotted lands
belonging to the Choctaw and
Chickasaw tribes of Indians in
Oklahoma, said reservation being
foi the puri ose of providing land
on which to build a sanatorium
or sanatoria for the benefit of
said tribes of Indians."
"Passed the senate May 7, 19-
12."
The appropriation was secur-
ed and actual work began on the
sanitarium last year, and the
building is now completed as far
as the funds available will per-
mit. There are several buildings
yet to be erected, such as barns,
commissary, laundry, cottages,
and dairy, but the building is
ready for occupancy, and will be
equipped with superintendent
and nurses by July 1 Mr. Wil-
liams, the care-taker in charge,
will look after the property
pending the installation of the
officials.
W. M. Donner. government
engineer, is just completing his
work of checking up the con-
struction work, and leaves this
week for Washington.
This handsome building will
be something for the Cl.octaws
to be proud of, and many lives
will be saved from the ravages of
the White Plague. Talihina also
is proud of the enterprise of the
Indian citizens who are reapon
sible for the location and build
ing of the structure.

The Factory Com-

Hardly had the word reached
the Frisco development depart-
ment that Talihina was trying to
get a wood-working factory lo-
cated here then Manager Ander-
son sent A. R. Hughes to see
what we wanted, and he arrived
last Friday. A special session of
the Commercial club was con-
vened and the meeting was pro-
ductive of much information.
Mr. Hughes told us that, he was
sent by the Frisco to assist us
in securing such a factory and
wanted the data as to what we
had in the way of soft and hard
wood and the acreage available,
and we were unable to give it
to him. A factory that will use
cur vast surplus of woods in the
manufacture of handles, spokes
staves, furniture, etc., will re-
quire that a certain amount of
timber be guaranteed for a given
period, and the committee in
charge of the propagation of the
factory will at once gather the
desired information, and in a
short time there is no question
but that a factory will be estab-
lished, as there is always capital
looking for just such opportuni-
ties as we have here.

Mrs. Taylor visited with us ail
day Monday. She was busy dis-
tributing flower seeds and ar-
ranging her plans for the begin-
ning of her new work. We are
sure she will make a success of
it. We shall do what we can
here to assist her and tho it may
be ever so little it mixht be an
impetus to some other school.
Co. Supt. Norris spent the
greater part of a day with us

visit with us because for one
reason, it was more protracted
than any other he has made.
