The annual report of the Indian in-
spector for the Indian Territory has

Indian agent shows that tip to June

by citizens of the various nations for
the removal of restrictions. Of the
petitions 55:5 wore among the Creeks
577 among the Cherokees 854 among
the Choctaws 219 among the Chicku-
saws and 3t among the Seminoles.
Out of tiiis number tiled 388 appli-
cations were approved as follows:
Creek 146 Cherokee 138 Choctaw
71 Chickasaw 28 Seminole 5 and
80!) are pending.
Of the 1085 applications five tiled
200 were returned for further uivesti- js improbable
gauoii anu boo were apprjvaaasto trie i
agent's adverse report. Of tiie 885 Ap-
plications 165 have been since grant-
ed hearings leaving 720 applications
upon which hearings are granted upon I
request of the petitioner.
Since J uly 1 of last year the Dawes '
commission reports show that about I
1300 removals have been allowed by I
the department of the interior. Up
to date since the establishment of the j
removal of restrictions division of the
union agency 4212 applications have
been filed and up to date 1500 appli-
cations have been approved and 1200
disproved.
The division forwards from 25 to 20
applications to Washington each day
and they are approved and back from
Washington in about 30 days.
It is diiilcult to determine the
amount of acreage upon which the
restrictions have been removed but
it will possibly approximate 130.000
acres.
D. N. Martindale formerly a lawyer
in South McAlester has been in
charge of the removal of restrictions
division since the first of last July.

Gamble Concert Company.
Without doubt the event of the
season if not in the life of our town
will be the concert to be given at the
Methodist church tomorrow (Thurs-
day) evening.
It is fortunate indeed that the Ear-
nest Gamble Concert Company should
have had an open date on its way to
Texas and was thus secured for Vinita.
Tne opportunity should not be allow-
ed to pass unnoticed. This company
are all artists of national reputation
and are the best in their line.
The proceeds are to be given to the
Public Library Fund and should ap-
jeal to every public spirited citizen.

FCH AN OCEAN YACHT RACE
Hawaiians Arrange a Contest from
Honolulu to San Fran-
cisco. There will be another ocean race next
season not across the Atlantic this
lime but half way across the Pacific.
Way out in Hawaii there are several
yachts many of which have been fa-
mous in these anil British waters. They
have a progressive yacht club there too
aud the recent race across the Atlantic
for the German emperor's cup has
proved an incentive to the Hawaiian
yachtsmen and a contest has been ar-
ranged which Is to start ai San Fran-
cisco and end at Honolulu. T. W. Mob-
ion is the commodore of the Hawaiian
club and he recently went to San Fran-
cisco to enlist the Interests of yachts-
men there and he has been very success-
ful. It was first suggested that the
race should be from Honolulu to some
Japanese port hut there were objec
tions to this cours
to start from San
tance of the race
time set for th;
and it is certain B
will be six starte:
'. and it was decided
Francisco. The dia-
ls 2089 miles. The
IDtWl is next June
this date that them
. and it is expected
that other yachtsmen will before that
time arrange things so that they ran
compete. The trophy which has been
offered for the race is worth $600. There
will also be a second i.rize.
The conditions of the race are
to be framed by the Pacific Yacht
Racing association and will be an-
nounced shortly. The western yachts-
men seem to be very enthusias-
tic about the contest and say that
every eastern club as well as
British clubs will be invited to en-
ter some yachts. A voyage around the
Horn at the best is not one that yachts-
men care to make and it is not prob-
able that any boats will go from thii
side of the Atlantic.
