8ATUBDAY. SEPTKMBKR SO. 1904.
Tahlequah continues to grow sub-
stantially.
The action taken by the Tahlequah
republican club Saturday In the mat-
ter of securing the land office for Tah-
lequah was indeed laudable, and will
no doubt be effectual.
The Tahlequah merchants have
larger and better assorted stocks of
goods this fall than ever before and
their prices will compare favorably
with any In the territory.
Fron. ^oree to five cars of freight are
shipped from Tahlequah daily—a
pretty good showing for a town which
has had railroad connections only a
little more than a month.
While the cotton crop is not as large
this year as last year, indications point
that the amount marketed here this fall
will exceed that of any previous year
on account of the increased territory
that Tahlequah will have to draw from.
The Arrow is In receipt of the gen-
eral brief on the pa,*? of the Cherokee
nation In the matter ot the applications
of numerous persons for enrollment as
Cherokee freed men. The brief con-
sists of 118 pages and is ample evi-
dence of the arduous duties which are
being performed by the nation's at-
torneys, W. W. Hastings, J. S. Daven-
port and L. B. Hell.
There are very few people who will
not admit that judicious advertising
pays. If it did not pay millions of
dollars would not be spent yearly by
the business men of the United Slates
in advertising tbeir wares. Likewise
it pays the purchaser to read the ads
In the newspapers.
The Cherokee national council will
convene In Tahlequah November 3.
Wonder how many firemakers, com-
mittee clerks and other unnecessary
individuals will be employed? "Cut
out" these superfluous employees and
use the money in paying for decent
libraries at the Seminaries.
While there is a great deal being
said about a territorial exhibit at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St.
Louis In 1904, practically nothing is
being done. It is a matter which
should not, for any cause, be permitted
to go a begging, and It now devolves
upon the commercial clubs, boards of
trade and other organizations to take
the matter up and carry it to success.
It would be a lasting shame upon a
land as fair as Eden and as bounteous
as Canaan to permit the World's Fair
to be held and not be represented.
The action takid by Chief Porter in
inviting the executives of the other
four tribes to meet him in conference
at South McAlester Sept. 26, Is quite
commendable. When the chief execu-
tives meet it will readily be seen that
they will claim no kinship whatsoever
to Oklahoma or Arkansas. At this
meeting it will probably be decided to
call a mass convention of the leading
persons of the five tribes for the pur-
pose of starting an active campaign for
statehood for Indian Territory alone.
Cherokee C'rep Conctltlnim
The following were the climatic and
crop conditions in the Cherokee nation
for the week ending Sept. 15. Over
the northern portion cool weather with
local showers prevailed; a light frost
on the 13th, no damage; plowing well
advanced, and wheat seeding will soon
be in progress; corn crop about ma-
tured, and good: 'rost will hasten ma-
turing of coru, much damaged by
chinch hues and below expectations.
Over the middle portion the weather
was cool with occasional rains; June
corn is in fair to good condition; cot-
ton picking is in progress, some crops
have been damaged by boll worms,
cotton is in good to poor condition;
range grass is good, and stock is doing
well. Over the southern portion cloudy
cool weather with occasional showers
prevailed; late corn is doing well;
cotton is being rapidly picked, and
coming to market, with a fair yield;
many fields damaged by boll worms;
late potatoes and turnips promise a
fair yield; grass is plentiful, and
stock is doing well.
Townfllte Commlftfflon Vinita Tahlequah.
Edwin Long, of Rolla, Mo., and
Dorwin Higley, of Atwood, Kas,, mem-
bers of the Cherokee townsite commis-
sion, accompanied by H. O. Bland,
stenographer, were in town Tuesday
and Wednesday. Their instructions
read "Vinita,' and they were here for
the purpose of examining the records
to ascertain which of the Vinita lots
were sold by the Cherokee nation.
This information was necessary in
order to appraise the lots according to
the provisions of the Cherokee treaty.
The appraisement at Vinita will begin
as soon as L. W. Buffington, the third
member of the commission, recovers
from his illness. Tahlequah will be
appraised as soon as practicable after
the secretary of the interior approves
the town plat.

Knjoylnif the Mountain Clluie
The Arrow is in receipt of a letter
from Z. A. Meredith, formerly of Tah-
lequah,'who is now spending his va-
cation in the mountains of Colorado.
The letter Is dated at Canon City, Col.,
Sept. 13, and is as follows: "Inclosed
find 12 cents, for which please send me
by return mail to above address a copy
of Pen and Camera. I am trying to
persuade some of my relatives here to
move to the Indian Territory, and
think this book will "help. It will be
seen by the above address that I am
enjoying the mountain1* of Colorado.
Have just returned from camping in
the Greenuorn mountains, altitude of
12,628 feet, where we have been "living
high" on rutiled grouse and wild pig-
eons, etc. I stood by the cabin door
one morning and shot six grouse be-
fore breakfast. I have been through
the Royal G >rge of the Arkansas river,
across the famous hanging bridge to
Marshall's i'ass, down in a gold mine
1200 feet at Aultman, the highest in-
corporated town in the world, visited
famous Cripple Creek, and expect to
climb Pike's Peak next week. I see
by the Arrow the treaty has passed,
and the people of the Cherokee nation
are sure to enjoy unprecedented pros-
perity, which they richly deserve.
Tahlequah will be the leading res-
idence city of the territory, and its
success is most certainly augmented by
the accurate shooting ot the 'Arrow.'"
liushyhead-Merrill.
At the home of the bride's parents
near Westville, last Sunday morning
at ten o'clock, D. W. Bushyhead and
Miss Helen Herrin pledged the hymen-
ial troth, Rev. Joseph G Brendel of
Tahlequah, officiating. Mr. Bushy-
head is the son of tbe lamented ex-
chit..' D W.s^Bushyhead, Rud tbe
grandson oi the grand old minister,
i Rev. Jesse Bushyhead. He is a pop-
ular young man in the Baptist neigh-
borhood and has a large circle of
friends in and around Tahlequah, who
will be pleased to learn of his marriage
to such a lovable young woman. Miss
Herrin is a member of one of the first
families of that section and it goes
without saying *iiat she is amiable,
accomplished and modest. The Arrow
predicts for them a bright future rich
in the bounteous blessings of Heaven's
benificent gifts. May their happiness
increase day by day as the years roll
on, and health and prosperity be
their lot.
Meeting of Chiefs.
Chief Pleasant Porter, of the Creek
nation, has invited the chief executives
of the other nations to meet at South
McAlester September 20, to discuss
means of obtaining statehood for the
Indian Territory. Chief Buflington
and Governor McCurtain, of the Choc-
taws, have accepted, and it is thought
that Governor Mosely, of the Chicka-
saws, will also be in attendance.
SOFT CO
Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
Scott's Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, Scott's
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. It not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

A Bootlegger Arrested.
Constable McGregor arrested Cal
Summers at Westville Monday and
dispossessed him of a grip full of whis-
key. Summers was arraigned before
Commissioner Reville, who was at the
time holding court at Wefille, and
was bound over to the Tahlequah
court in the sum of $500. He failed to
give bond and was escorted to Vinita
jail by Deputy Parris Wednesday.
