Mark Rennitt the courteous manag-
er of the I'ress bureau at St. Louis In
a letter with reference to erroneous
reports about St.Loulsandthe World's
fair closes with the following:
St. Louis seems also to have been
given a bad name on account of its
heat In summer. I have spent two
entire summers here and have found
the city no hotter than several New
York and Illinois cities In which I
have snent the summer montlis. If
one will dress In the lightest clothing
and go about moderately lie need not
suffer. The nithts are generally cool
the wind blowing from the south. The
temperature rarely goes above w) ana
then only at midday for periods usually-
less than a week cool spells alternat
ing with warm ones throughout the
summer. All the large Imposition
buildings are 60 to 15 feet to the roofs
well ventilated and cool.
Artesian ice-water is supplied at
hundreds of drlnklne places through
out the grounds by means of automatic
penny-in-the-slot machines l reearinK-
ing places are found in the state and
many other buildings. The prevari-
cator who said he paid ten cents for a
glass of water must have put a dime
in the penny machine or tipped a
waiter.
The cost of living In St. Louis Is
about the same as in other cities of
the middle west. Visitors find com-
fortable lodgings everywhere within
easy distances of the World's Fair at
one dollar rer niirht rer person for
ledk'ink's usually two in a room: often
a cheaper place may be found. Meals
are 25 cents and upward. Inquiry at
a grocery or drug store will usually
enable visitors to find good places
uuicklv.
Intending visitors to the World's
Fair may secure much information
from the railroad ticket cfllces. and a
good knowledge of the general plan of
j the Exposition and its leading features
w ill save much time upon arrival at
the irrounds.
The publication of such of the fore-
going facts as may seem best to you
will help to correct some of the mis'
leadlnu statements about St. L .uis
and the World's Fair that have been
wantonely circulated. It may also In
fluence manv persons to avail them
selves of this opportunity of a lifetime
to see the best fruits of industry and
genius here gathered in orderly array
whootherwl.se might bedissauded from
so dolne and thereby lose much that

the statute which provides that no

was sent to all employes of the com
mission several weeks ago calling at
tention to the statute one from the
disbursinir department of the commis

the close of business yesterday. This
letter called attention to tha portion
of the law which provides that no

The Dawes commission has compiled
a partial statement showing progress
of the work of allotment at the Chero
kee land efllce.
The rencrt shows that during last
May there were applications for MOV
"74K.S1 acres of land valued at .J(3r
i:o.:9. This added to the number
applied for during the nine months
the office was open prior to this time
makes a total of 1.105.H41.M acres of
land valued at I3W7340.11 for which
application had been made by Chero
kee citizens up to the first of the pres
ent month.
The following tabulated statement
shows the status of Cherokee allot
ments and applications up to June 1
1004:
Aopllcatlons for allotment from
May 2 1104 to May 31 1904 inclusive
1.802.
Applications approved from May 2
1J04. to Mar 31. 1U04. Inclusive. 1014.
Applications withheld for various
causes during the same time iw.
Durltur the last month 353 citizen
ship certificates evidencing the right
"17 persons to select allotments were
issued: also 202 reservation tickets
showing that 443 persons had applied
for enrollment as Cherokee citizens
and whose right to allotments had not
yet been determined. During the
month 518 tickets of admission to the
land office were issued 132 of which
were to fullbloods. making the total
number of tickets Issued up to that'
time 125711 of which 11. m are regu
lar tickets and 1111 fullblood tickets.
The report also shows that 2714 al
lotment certlflcaUs and 1323 home-
stead certificates were wrltteti.checked
ntut tirenared for the signature of the
chairman of the committee during the
month and that approximately -jO
allotment certificates and .50 home-
stead certificates which had already
been prepared were mailed to the al
lottees. These were practically the
first certificates ever delivered in the
Cherokee Nation.
Prior to May 2. last only .Vi con
tests had ln filed. The total num
ber pending at the close of May was
""). The report shows that at the
end of the month the tetal number of
contests disposed of in the Cherokee
Nation was eighty-four of which
twenty-one were decided during the
last month.
There are a number of reasons a.v
signed for the Increased rapidity (f
the a.lotment cf Cherokee lands. In
the tir-t place the clerks naturally be
come more efficient as the work pro
gresses but w hat Is probably a greater
cause Is that when the ortlce was
opened before the work was occasion
ally Interrupted. Also the discovery
of oil and coal sine that time has
produced an incentive which has vir
tually terminated In a rush for the
best lands.
