An Application For Injunction
riled to prevent Disposal of830,-
000 Acree.
David Muskrat and others, repre-
senting the Kectowah society of the
Cherokee nation, last, Biturday tiled
In tho mipreme court of the District
of Columbia hii application for an
Injunction to prevent the Secretary
of the Interior from disposing of cer-
tain Indian lands.
The petitioners set forth that in
1002 each member of the Chorokee
nation was given allotments and that
there remained about 220,000 acres of
land which, they allege, the Secre-
tary of Interior Is about to divide
among about 0,000 children of the
tribe born since 1002. They Insist
that this proposed distribution Is il-
legal.
The Court directed Secretary Hitch
cock and Indian Commissioner Leupp
to appear January 18, and show the
cause why the Injunction shall not be
issued.
Official Notice.

, A Succewfull Woll Hunt.
Wm. McClain, Andrew Brazier and
John Hendricks, with mounts and
about fifteen wolf hounds started out
Monday to catch one of the beasts.
They scared one up soon after leaving
town. The chase is reported to have
been a fine one. The run was straight
and the hounds overtook the wolf-
lets after a straight three miles run,
on a trestle on the Frisco south of
town.
There is said to be a great many
wolves in this vicinity this winter,
and it is very likely that more hunts
will be indulged In.

Mr*. Harry Mason Dead.
Ralph Mason was called to Omaha
Sunday to attend the funeral of his
brother, Harry's, wife. She died in
that city while visiting relatives, her
sickness being sudden and of short
duration. Iler husband, in company
with his father, was traveling on a
land seeking excursion throtigh Kan-
sas and Oklahoma, and received word
in time to return, but was with her
only afew hours before her death.
This comes as a very sudden blow to
Mr. Mason also to the friends of Mrs.
Mason, who with her husband came
here last fall and remained until just
before Christmas. Claremore extends
sympathy to the bereaved.

Delngftto McQuirn Introduces Into
Congrnis n Bill to M#ko Indian
Territory Lands Taxable.
Delegate II. S. McGuIre, of Oklaho-
ma, has IntrodUCOd a bill Into con-
gress which, If It Is passed, will en-
able the state of Oklahoma to tax a
large portion of the lands in tho In-
dian Territory, lie says tho measure
is as much or oven more Importance
than the Curtis act which broke up
tribal governments in tho territory.
One of the big problems confronting
the now state Is the question of rais-
ing revenue In tho Indian Territory.
As long as the land titles remain as
they arc there Is no way to tax lands,
and there is not enough personal
property there to maintain county
governments one week In a year.
lie proposes to place all Indians
except the fullbloods, 011 the same
plan as white people so far as land
holding is concerned. His bill re-
moves all restrictions on lands owned
by mixed bloods and also all surplus
landsowned by fullbloods. This done
the new state will be able to tax all
lands except fullblood homesteads
and the homesteads arc limited from
40 to ltio acres, depending on what
tribe the Indians belong to. McGuire
has sounded Senator Clapp, chairman
of the senate committee 011 Indian
'affairs, and finds hi in favorable for
the blan. He hopes that Curtis, of
the house committee, will support
the measure. When Curtis returns
from his senatorial flight lie will be
urged to get behind tho measure. If
he does it Is expected to go through.
Tho McGuire bill declares all Indians
of the proposed new state to be citi-
zens of the United States with equal
rights, privileges and immunities of
other citizens.
Two mixed blonds are to be given
deeds also and clothed with power to
handle their lands as they see lit.
Their lands are to go 011 the tax rolls.
The fullbloods' surplus lands are also
to be cut loose and taxed. Fullbloods
will be empowered to sell their home-
steads upon approval of the interior
department, but they will first be
required to go into court and show
that they are competent to handle
their own business affairs.
One year after the act takes effect
the government must pay each mixed
blood Indian his prorata share of
tribal funds held in trust. Fullbloods
will ge given their prorata share of
funds when their applications arc
approved by the department. Mr.
McGuire will endeavor to get his bill
through this session.

crowd whenevor ho plays In Clare-

proving. They aro not. so close to-

City Elections will Be Hold.
There has lieen considerable agita-
tion of late in regard to tho munici-
pal elections this spring. Attorney
General Cromwell rendered a decision
on the matter Saturday stating that
city elections must be held in all the
cities of Oklahoma and Indian Terri-
tory as usual this spring. He holds
that tho provisions eliminating the
elections In the twin territories ap-
plied only to tho elections that would
have been liald In the fall of 100(1.
Doings of the Dads.
Tho Catoosa Gas & Oil Company
asked the Council at Its meeting
Monday night for a franchise along
the lines and at the prices given
in tills paper a couple of weeks ago,
except that they asked to have the
right to change any of the consumers
from llat rate to a meter 011 thirty
days notice. The matter was refer-
red to the ordinance committee. The
st reet and alley committee was in-
structed to enter into a contract to
have the nnmbers and names of
streets and alleys posted on all street
corners. Also arrangements are be-
ing made to have the houses number-
red. This will make it much more
convenient than the old system of us-
ing landmarks, saying for instance to
"deliver these goods to the first house
east of the second red house just
north of the third corner east of the
school-house." We like to sec the
good work pushed along as it is only
a fore-runner of free mall delivery.
Sidewalks should be pushed for the
same reason.
Chelsea An Energetic Place, Will
Have Oil Refinery.
A visit to the city of Chelsea lie-
tweeii trains Monday wasbufllclent to
convince the editor that In Chelsea
this county has a town which will bo
an honor to It. The citizens at that
place have already forgotten their
disappointment on tho county seat
because of an oil refinery to lie located
there. This refinery Is to lie put In
by tho Cornplantor Company, and
tho expense of Installing It will Ih;
about :wo,ooo. The contract has
been awarded and work commenced.
Next In line the city Is preparing to
pave the streets. Rock has been laid
already to form the foundation, and
Main street will lie covered with chat
Its entire length.
The town has numerous line brick
buildings, accomodating citizens and
two good prlnterlcs. The Commercial,
republican, Is conducted by Poole &
Shields, two competent young men
who have a good business, while the
Redorder Is owned by Hester &
Divine. The former Is not a printer
and is very muchly interested in the
welfare of democracy, while Mr. Di-
vine and wife are capable printers
and conduct the inner workings of
tho establishment.
Anyone will be favorably Impressed
with tills hustling burg and we are
glad to note its continued prosperity.

Size of Actor Not a Handicap.
It is impossible to be to fat or too
thin, too tall,too short, too old or too
young to achieve success on the stage.
Indeed the extremely tall, the ex-
tremely fat and tho extremely thin
begin the struggle for stage success
with an advantage in their favor.
The stage too has a place for the old
sters and boy and girl actors. Among
the mon the little fellows -have suc-
ceeded best in comedy roles. Of
course, a man who is extremely short
is unusually unacceptable as a leading
man but as in the case of the darkey
"Wool" in the comedy drama "The
Hidden Hand," the under size of
Van Murrell makes the part all the
more acceptable for its grotesqueness.
The Hidden Hand will be at the
Windsor Opera House February 8.
Bank of Claremore Annual Meeting.
FOB A BEAUTIFUL CLAREMORE
Chamber of Commerce De3ires As-
sistance of Ladies to Beautify
the City.
Last Tuesday evening the Chamber
of Commerce had figured on a large
attendance and an enthusiastic meet-
ing. Tlie weather, Jliowever, was so
bad that many oould not attend,
among otliere being absent being Mr.
Cllft, who wrote a letter explaining
bis absence on the ground that he
never absented himself from home
after six o'clock. He was excused, as
he sent his well wishes and the assur-
ance that he was with them in spirit
and was always ready to put up the
necessary to help Claremore. Would
that all others who are in anyway
prevented from attending were built
along the same lines.
Nine new members were enrolled
at tliis meeting and many things of
Importance to the welfare of the town
discussed.
Among the items tended to help
the town was the matter of having

One important feature of the meet-
ing was the declaring of a 15 percent
dividend. Ten per cent of the Undi-
vided profit was added to the surplus
fuud.
The Count of Monte Cristo.
Eugene Moore, as the Count of
Monte Cristo, made a decided hit at
the OperaHouse Saturday night. The
play was grand, the scenic effects were
good, and the acting as good as has
seen here this year, the part of Monte
Cristo by Mr. Moore, being exception-
ally fine. We are informed that this
talented young actor purposes making
a tour through Oklahoma annually
and this Is his initiatory trip. He has

the parkings, etc., looked after. A
committee composed of A. L. Kates,
Edwin Brown and Ernest Woods were
appointed to look into the matter.
The council asked that a special
committee of three be appointed to
confer with tne council committee
for the purpose of locating the water

excursions to our city to give strang
ers the benefit of a more thorough
