fll Rono Ok. tfob. 3 The tlroUtt of
Secretary B. A. Itttehoook against the
opening of the Kta"?a und Comanolio
country to settlers on tho ground that
tho reservations arc unfit for agrieul
tural purposes has aroused much crit-
icism among persons in Oklahoma who
know tho lands and who arc familiar
with the prosperous agricultuval eon
dittons In the aountry surrounding
theso reservations. Dan W. Porry edit-
or of the ElHono Globe who has boen
frequently in all ; par U of tha Kiowa
and Comanoho country says lu an ed-
itorial; "Wo would state first that the Kiowa
and Comanche reservation is surround-
m
ed on evory stda by a splendid agricul-
tural aountry-"
'North of tho oast half Is tho Wichi-
ta reservation and north of that is
Canadian county whioh shows for it-
self. North of tho western half of
the Comanche reservation is Washita
county. This county has been open-
ed to settlement nearly eight years
and h as a population of nearly 12 000.
It Is a very rich and productive coun-
try and thero ba9 not been a failure
of wheat corn or cotton since it has
been Bottled by white people.
'On the east is is the famous Chicka
saw country one of the richest farm-
ing sections in the world.
"South of the Comanche reservation
is the very heact of the wheat and
cotton belt of the great state of Tex-
.as. "On tho west lios Greer county and
a tnorc happy and prosperous country
is would be hard to find.
"lteccmsa strange dispensation of
an unkind providence that surrounds
such a barren waste as the Secretary
wonld have us believe the Comanche
country to be with such splendid ag-
ricultural lande.
The editor of the Globe has travolcd
over tho Kiowa and Comanche reserva
tions in the pas eight years in many
directions and it surely never impress-
ed him with being aB poor a country
as the Secretary represents it to be
with the exception of tho Wichita
mountains and Keechi hills and they
contain many rich valleys. We know
that the reservation is equal in every
respect to any of the country surround-
ing it. It may take some time to con-
vince the Secretary of the Interior on
this point especially if he gets his in-
formation from the men who hold cat-
tle leases.

Oraahji Nab. Feb. 8 At the April
Urtn of the United State court the
boundary dlBpuU between Nowah
county Nebraska and Atahison c-r "
ty Missouri will com up for adjust-
ment. Marshal Matthews has bean
called upon by the supreme court to
serve the necessary papers papers uji
on Oovornor I'oyntor and Attorney
General Smith. Yesterday the mar-
shal visited the ehief executive in Lin-
coln and terred the papers.
Tho dispute j -j voire a tract of 18-
oOO acres north and east of the Mis-
souri river which several years ago
changed it course at this point. The
state of Missouri has recently been
urged to take action by the people of
Atchison county.
If tha facte are similar to those in
the Nenraska-Iowa ca. Missouri will
win. That involvod a tract of land
between Council Bluffs and Omaha
something like 12000 acres. That
ease hinged upon the question wheth-
er the change in the channel was
wrought by natural accretions or by
the process of evulsion through an un-
usual Hood. Tho supreme court held
the latter and that tho land still be-
longed to Iowa.
