s
Indian Agent Jones Says Officials
Are Involved.
"It is impossible for any government
official connected with a land company
dealing in Indian lands to be entirely
impartial in his decisions when he is
deciding questions which may affect
his own welfare. I do not think that
any of the officials whose names appear
as stockholders or directors of the In-
dian Territory land companies had any
intention of acting dishonestly, but I
must say that I think it was extremely
bad taste for them to allow themselves
to be connected with companies.
"I believe that the Indian office
should at once undertake a thorough
investigation of the conditions in the
Indian Territory and prepare a report,
and then if congress considers another
investigation desirable there will be
material upon which to work. The in-
vestigation will be long and tedious

LESSEES TAKE NOTICE
New Rule for Subleasing Adopted
By the Hoard.
The territorial school land board held
a session in Governor Ferguson's office
yesterday and decided that hereafter
the board will require an acknowledge-
ment before a notary bublic of any
transfer made by a lessee. The main
question under discussion before the
board was the subleasing of land which,
under the rules, cannot be done, with-
out consent of the board. The board
decided that the rule would be amend-
ed so that when the lessee desires to
sub-lgase a fee of $2 will be charged,
the same fee as is now charged for a
transfer. The question of sub-leasing,
however, lies entirely with the board
and application must be made to the
board which will investigate the in-
tended transfer. The sub-leasing will
apply only to residents of the territory.
The adoption of rule 28 was made
necessary to protect the board and en-
force the rule that only one quarter
WHY ALL WHEAT?
Oklahoma Farm Journal: If anyone
doubts the reasons for our frequent
complaint that there is too much lack
of system in farming in Oklahoma, let
him take a trip through eastern Okla-
homa and observe the direction in
which farming is directed there. From
six to ten years ago, this region wa3
the chief hog raising section of the
territory. When the cotton fever
struck it, farmers quit raising corn and
Kaffir corn and went into cotton with a
whoop. The dry year of 1901 caught
farmers with but little hog feed and
the hog industry was practically ex-
tinguished. Following the dry year of
1901, a large crop of oats was planted
and fortunately it did well and paid
big. There was nothing to do with the
oats stubble, which was the land on
which corn and Kaffir corn was grown
but put it to wheat, and into wheat it
went last fall. And again, it was a
fortunate move and no complaint can
be found up to this point. It was mak-
ing the best of conditions and utilizing
them to advantage as they rose.
But now conversation with farmers

These declarations were made by W.
A. Jones, Indian commissioner, con-
cerning the report of Special Agent
Brosius, of the Indian Rights Associa-
tion, of Philadelphia. Mr. Brosius was
sent to the Indian Territory by the as-
sociation to investigate rumors that
white men were obtaining Indian land
for rediculously low sums.
The alleged plan was to J< ase the
land from the Indians for n term of
five ye'irs, the longest term for which
an Indian can lease hi# new allotment.
These leases are alUyed to have been
made for rentals £dl' below the real
value of the lanj. In addition to this
the companies Are alleged to have then
secured a contract for the sale of the
land at the end of the lease and named
extremely/mall sums in these contracts.
Mr. K/fisius investigated the charges
as thoroughly as he could and prepared
a w ritten report which has been sub-
mitted to the secretary of the interior.
If the allegations in the report are
sustained they promise to disclose a
s> a, il.u involving far more money, and
officials fully as high as those in the
postoffice department scandal.
The Indian office whs aware of the
work undertaken by Mr. Brosius, who 1 form
was act in . f r an association of pri-
vate individuals, and has quietly pre-
pared to une rtake an investigation on
its own account. Now that the Bro-
sius report has been made public, and
Commissioner Jones i soeniphatic in his
statements that the matter will proba-
bly be looked into most thoroughly,
startling developments may be expect-

adopted to prevent this abuse and is as
follows:
RULE 28.
All leases of school land shall be ex-
ecuted and acknowledged before the
secretary of the board for leasing
school lands, notary republic or other
officer empowered to administer the
oath and take acknowledgements of in-
struments affecting real estate, and
said acknowledgement shall be in form
substantially as follows;

The work of making good Amen-
can* out of the people of our new
territory in the gulf of Mexico i«
;oiug on with very creditable «peed
and intelligence. In the :*nuai re-
port of lion. WilKam H. Hunt, the
governor of Porto Rico, just made
public, there are aome highly pleas-
ing figures on education. In Janu-
ary, 1001, there were 682 schools open
in the island; in January, ll)U2, there
were 875, and now there are 1,100.
The number of teachers at the three
dates, respectively, are put at 721,
934 and 1,126. The number of pu-
pils, which was 30,000 at the tirst-
named date and 43,000 at the sec*
ond, is now 53,000.
Manifestly, this is a very encour-
aging condition of things. The "lit-
tle. red schoolhouse," which was on
the front line of the American ad-
vance from Plymouth Hock to the
Golden Gate, is in the van of the
American expansion in the islands of
the Mexican gulf. Education in the
common schools was practically un-
known at the time American sway
began in Porto Rico. There were
schools in the island under the
Spanish regime, but they were few
in number, were poorly equipped and
had only a sparse attendance. The
public school system in Porto Rico
as known in 1903 dir.es from the be-
ginning of the American connection.
