A WOKD OP CAUTION.
There are n few men in this vi-
cinity whojuilging from their talk
arc surely fishing for foiiio free ad-
vertising which they are going to
get very soon unless they iletutst
from modeling with The Ciiikf-
tain anil eiuleavoring to injure its
business. Men who sustain a
newspaper hy cash patronage ami
good will generally are of sufficient
calibre to be at least liberal and
reasonable with those who see pro-
per to differ with them. We could
namo two or three individuals who
had better hunt some other kind of
a job than making an uncalled-for
fight upon a newspaper. We want
to say in this connection that wo
are dependent on no political
party in particular or in general
for our existence and that we feel
abundantly able to hold our own
in every emergency. The Chikk-
tain is one of the institutions of
this country and town and will
maintain its prestige and remain
at the front of newspaper enter-
prises in this country and those
who are seeking its downfall had
better "stand from under."
Thk "boys" who have recently
returned from the Outlet say that
is a better country than this.
The $15500 balance paid hy the
Cherokee Strip Live Slock associ-
ation to Chief Mayes will have an
opportunity to get into the treasury
when council meets.
It now transpires that several
heavy cattle importers have re-
fused to pay theirimport tax. Just
what will be done about the matter
remains to be seen.
Thk UK is one question upper-
most in the minds of a great many
people will the present Council
be manipulated by the "old crow
crowd?" We shall see.
According to the treaty of lS3o
the United States agree that they
will never include the Outlet with-
in the limits of any state or terri-
tory without the consent of the
Cherokees.
The Harrison boom received last
week what wilt probably prove its
death blow. Harrison and Mr.
Noble have both been denounced
by the Vinita World and this will
probably nominate Blaine.
A statehood convention is
called at Oklahoma City Sept. 21.
The representation is to be one
delegate for each 500 inhabitants
living in each political division of
the territory and two for each city
or town.
A.notheu meeting of the associa-
tion of white adopted citizens
formed recently in this town will
bo held next Saturday. AH citi-
zens of this class are respectfully
invited to attend and become mem-
bers of the organization.
The Sac and Fox reservation
together with the other Indian
lands that have been purchased by
the commission will be opened
for settlement some time in Sep-
tember and a great rush to that
country may be expected.
It is stated that acting Secretary
Chandler is of the opinion that all
the cattle will be cleared from the
Strip at an early day and that no
evasions of the president's order
will be permitted by transferring
cattle to Cherokee citizens.
It is reported that Chief Mayes
has recently been offered sixty
million dollars for the Strip lands.
It is reasonable to suppose that
the government will not pay such
a price as that and an ofler from
any one else amounts to naught.
Am. parties that have visited the
Outlet recently so far as we have
been able to learn are in favor of
allotting that country and are op-ion-d
to a sale on almost any
terms. Our people should agree
on the Lest mode of procedure and
act as a unit in trying to secure
the Outlet
TiiEkE seems to be a conflict of
opinion a t0 wn" l" responsible
for the late visitation of the abun-
dant rains. How-be-it it fell upon
th just and the unjust fame as
usual and we arc of the opinion
that it came from the same source
as that from which it has Lien
coming all alon.

It has been discovered that A.
H Nultall president of tin! Ter-
ritorial Union K. A. & I. U 'lever
had a charter from the National
body ut all and his aulhoiity was
only assumed. This throws u
damper on the order throughout
the country as the Alliance people
have been sending their dues to
the secretary-treasurer under Nut-
tall and getting instructions from
that source.
Since (he agitation on the Outlet
it is remarkable how many men
have expressed a willingness to
move to that country believing as
they do that they will get titles to
the land sooner there than here.
A great many fullblood Chero-
kees arc willing to go there fit
once. This is very significant; it
shows how popular allotment of
land is when brought within the
reach of the people.
The lieu Iavis apple leads all
others as a market sort. It is a
regular annual bearer of line form
size and color and very uniform.
The tree is the most vigorous and
productive of ull the apples. As to
quality it is common but for
mercantile orchards it should
predominate. The lien Davis is a
staple articlo on the market in its
season and there are few better
keepers when properly handled.
And now that the schools are
about to open again each child of
suitable age should be equipped
with the necessary hooks and
other school supplies and placed
in school. There is no longer any
excuse for children growing up in
ignorance. "An idle brain is the
devil's workshop" and boys who
are permitted to idle their time
away upon the streets when they
might he in school will stand a
good chance to go to the bad.
A Goon joke is told on one of
Vinita' si Strip prospectors who
went out to that country recently
in search of a "bonanza" in the
shape of a herd of cattle the owner
of which was just dying to transfer
them to some Cherokee citizen. It
seems that our friend hired a
darkey to pilot him to a"cowman"
whereupon he was taken around
and introduced to the incorrigible
"Dr." Bill Howell one of our
own fellows. It occurs to us that
Bill might have been a partner
with the darkey.
"THE BURNING QUESTION.'
A very interesting question just
at this time is what will ultimately
become of the Outlet? That coun-
try as Mr. St ruble says is the
"burning question of the day " If
the proper steps are taken at the
right time and in the right way it
is well nigh certain that the Strip
can be occupied and allotted
among the citizens of the Cherokee
nation. But the spasmodic rush
to that country by our citizens at
present is a premature movement
and will come to naught. The
president's letter to Secretary No-
ble neither asserts nor implies that
the United Slates government has
receded-from its former plans con-
cerning that country. There are
certain negotiations between our
nation and that government that
must be completed and an arrange-
ment must be reached in the mat-
ter before we will be allowed to
assume control of that country and
to undertake to settle the question
by the "boomer plan" ;s sheer
nonsense. Our idea is that an or-
ganized ellort on the part of the
Cherokees should be made at once.
If wc would represent to the gov
ernment that we were willing to
allot and have the jurisdiction of
the Uni'jd States extended over
that country mid nil a jmrt vf it
forvhite settlement we believe an
agreement could be reached by
whieh the greater part of it could
be secured to our citizens.
What the government wants is
to prevent subsequent ilisputes
over that country and its status is
sure to be settled at an
early day. If we would have
it settled in our favor we must do
our part to bring about a favorable
termination of the matter. It 13
now virtually settled that all the
cattle that arc there will be al-
lowed to remain. As the presidt nt's
order allows Cherokees to hold
their cattle there and the Kansas
quarantine will not allow any
cattle moved into that cUte. ti e
supposition is that none' will be '
moved. When council m .'i ts in
November it should take speedy
action in the matter und the land
h:!d and not sold. There are
prol.abiy ixo million acres of fir.-t-class
farming laud on the Outlet
and many of our people ni 1
gladly go there and si ttl if con-
vinced that it was safe. But under
exist'ng circumstances it would
not be proper to advi-e an exodus i
to that country. The status of the i
Outht will le sittle.l at mi truly1
day w ithout doubt and tin ti tketj
will be no risk to run in sett!ii:g
there.
DRIFTING DUIFII.nO.

to. mlif re 1 j-. th-.l if t'e (M'iSe
laud east of ilti" was equally di
vided among all Cherokee citizens
(here would not be sixty-six acres
for ouch one. 'Ibis calculation is
made upon (he iissumiition that one
third ol the Cherokee country east
of '.Mi" is good arable land suit-
able for tanning purposes. The
truth is in our opinion not one-
lift It of the country would ho se-
lected by white men tor homesteads
if they were given the chance to
select" from it. The remainder is
rocky bai ren and fit for nothing
but grazing purposes and lor that
only for a few years. But making
m 1 1 v possilde allowance let us say
one-third of the five million acres
east of W is fit for homestead set-
tleiupnt. There are 2" 000 citizens
of the Cherokee Nation. One-
third of the live million acres con-
stituting the Cherokee country
east id' '.Mi" is one million six hun-
dred ami sixty-six thousand six
hundred and sixtv-six acres. Di-
vide this number liy the number of
our citizens (2-"000) and the share
of each would be between sixty-
six i:.nd sixty-seven acres.
Before the Neutral land was
sold the share of land that Would
have belonged to each citizen of
the Cherokee Nation had the
country tlo n been divided equally
would have been nine hundred and
fifty-eight acres including three
hundred and nineteen acres of
land fit for homestead Kettlenui.it
according to the one-third propor-
tion id good land that we have
made the basis of our calculations.
After the Neutral land was sold
and the Kansas Strip and also
tracts sold to the Osages I'on-
cas Pawners Otoes and Misssou-
rias and Nez Perces the share of
each citizen of the nation would
have been six hundred and llfty-one
acres of land cood bad and in-dil!creiit--one-lhiidof
which would
have given two hundred and seven-
teen acres of good farming land to
each citizen lor his homestead.
But it the nation sells tho re-
mainder of the Outlet (so-called) to
the U. S. there will be left only
the live million of acres east of
'.Hi" whieh if divided equally
among all citizens will give to
each two hundred acres of land
good had and indillerent and
only sixty-six acres of land fit for
homestead purposes as said above.
And the sixty-six acre share is
dwindling and dimini.-hing every
day under the operation of inter-
marriage and ivadniission to citi-
zuiship. Taking out the good land
monopolized by comparatively a
few citizens it is doubtful whether
the majority of Cherokee citizens
have five acres apiece for each one's
.-hare of good land.
While all this has been goingon
the domain rapidly diminishing
while the population has been as
rapidly increasing- we have had a
teirible to do electing officers who
have been content with drawing
tluir salaries and doimr nothincr
whatever to stop advancing ruin
for it must all end in ruin unless
something be done and done quick-
ly. As it i-' we see from the above
calculation that the share of a sin-
gle citizen in 1-SJO had decreased
from nearly one thousand acres to
barely two hundred in IS'11; and
of this two hundred acres left only
sixty-six acres is worth anything
for homestead purposes and the
greater part of that amount in the
case of the great majority of citi-
zens has been gobbled up by mo-
nopolists until our women and
children at least two-thirds of our
population have absolutely no land
at .ill but the sterile barren tracts
that the monopolists have disdain-
ed to ; natch.
Think of these facts O Chero-
kees and try iu make some provis-
ion for the little ones who will
constitute the next generation of
Cherokees while you are talking
of selling more than half of your
