CHELSEA, CHEROKEE NATION, INDIAN TERRITORY. FRIDAY, JULY 7, 1905.
THE BAND AT RAMONA
OHBLSEA BOYS HAVB \ LONG
TRIP AND A GENERAL
GOOD TIME.
The Reporter man, with the
other members of the Chelsea Cor
net Band, speut the Fourth at Ra-
mona. Leaving Chelsea in the
wee, sma' hours we reached Tulsa
about 5 a. m., and after a wait of
two hours we boarded the Sauta
Fe train which lauded uo in Ra-
mona about 8 o'clock.
We found Ramona to be a lively
little town, full of energy and pop-
ulated with some of the best peo-
ple outside of Chelsea. They have
oil in abundance and use natural
gas for heat and light.
The celebration was one of the
Jsest tbat.it has been our good for-
tune to witness in many years.
While the program was not elab-
orate and pretentious, it was an
excellent one and was carried out
without any of the hitches that
usually occur to mar the pleasure
of such occasions. No long speech
es were made to tire the audience
but all were exceptionally good.
The music, being furnished by
the Chelsea baud, was of course
right up to the top notch, and was
appreciated by the large crowd of
pleasure-seekers. <
Any mcntiou of the. celebration
would be incomplete if it did not
make favorable note of the recita-
tions by Miss Sutton, of Collins-
ville. Miss Sutton is , an elocu-
tionist of rare ability and with her
talent has a winning way and an
ease and grace of manner that cap-
tivated the audience at once. She
delivered several recitations which
brought praise from her audience
and reflected great credit on her
self.
The cemmittee in charge was
courteous and attentive to every
detail, and though they were dis-
appointed in not having some of
the attractions they expected they
did not allow this to interfere with
or mar the festivities.
The band beys were well pleased
with the treatment tliey received
and sincerely regretted that they
could not accept an invitation to
remain at Ramona Tuesday night.
The citizens of Ramona fully dem-
onstrated the fact that they know
how to entertain visitors and make
them feel at home.
A stopover of two hours gave us
an opportunity to witness a part
of the big celebration at Tulsa,
which was in progress Tuesday
night. There the entertainment
was planned on a grand scale and
was progressing with a vigor char-
acteristic of of all good Territory
towns. While on the grounds the
band boys were the guests of the
Tulsa band, who, though busy
with a concert, invited their visit-
ors to the stand and gave them a
hearty reception.
We reached home about one
O'clock Wednesday morning, and
though everyone was tired out
with the day's work and the long
trip, there was not one in the
crowd that would not be glad to
repeat the experience should they
have the opportunity.
teen tracts sold. There were about
twenty mors on which' the .tyds
were not up to the appraisement,
This is more laud than has been
sold at one tiuie for many mouths.
The listing for sale is on the in-
crease and it appears that the buy*
ers are becoming more active.
This is caused by the fact that
nearly all the laud in the Creek
Nation in the hands of uegroe?
that could be bought has been
taken and the buyers must now
buy from the Indians or do With-
out. A tremendous rush of farm-
ers seeking land is expected this
fall and the land buyers and sj ndi-
cates want to buy all they can be-
fore that time. These fanners
wiil come principally from the
states north and east, and the rush
will ben in about the first of Sep-
tember and last until spring. The
land that is now being bought will
be on the market during that time
and farmers will find it easier to
buy land than they have ever be-
fore, though it may cost a few
more dollars per acre, the first
buyer's pro-it.

INDIANS CALL CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION TO MEET
AT MUSKOGEE.
A Safe Proposition
We will teach any one with an
ordinary common education who
will do good average work to
write legibly 150 words • of short-
hand, unfamiliar matter, to the
minute in three months, or make
no charge for the course. This
speed wilLuot only enable him to
do office correspondence, but court
reporting. We will maVe any
one a present of a scholarship who
will find any other school using
any other system of shorthand
that will do this. Any one not
satisfied at the completion of the
course thatthe Byrne Simplifiied
Shorthand is what we claim for it
can get every cent of his tuition
back by presenting to the office a
written statement to that effect.
Our course of Bookkeeping,
Bnisness Training and Penman-
ship is iust as thorough and
practical and as far ahead of the
systems used in ether schools as in
the Byrne Simplified Shorthand.
These thorough practical systems
and our up-to-date methods of
teaching are responsible for the
exceedingly large enrollment we
have had during the past month.
