AS TO INDIAN AFFAIRS
United States Commissioner
Makes His Annual Report
The report of the cormninHion
of Indian affairs has betrn subm
ted to the secretary of the interior.
Ofthe Creek and Cherokee leases
the report states:
The department November 4
1898 promulgated regulations gov-
erning the leasing of mineral lands
in the Creek and Cherokee nations
in accordance with the provisions
of sectioD 13 of the act approved
June 28 1898. No leases for the
mining of minerals of any charac-
ter in either of said nations have
been approved by the department;
but the inspector reported Decem-
ber 1 1899that he had given John
Bullette Indian . temporary per-
mission to mine coal in a certain
locality in the Cherokee nation
and that similar -permission had
been granted to W. 8. Edwards
a Cherokee citizen who desired to
supply coal to a railroad that was
in the course of construction
and the inspector requested
that Mr. Edwards' action be ap-
proved. Under this temporary
permission said parties were to
pay the rate of royalty prescribed
by the regulations of November 4
1898 and the permits were subject
to cancellation at any time the de-
partment deemed it advisable.
Office report of December 7 1899
recommended that the inspector's
action be approved and the depart-
ment December 12 authorized him
to issue the permits under the con-
ditions stated namely that they
can be revoked at any time in the
discretion of the secretary and that
each party shall pay a royalty of
10 cents per ton as preecriDeo. in
the general regulations."
With reference to the collection
of tribal taxes the report says:
"There is no doubt that the cat-
tle tax due to the Cherokee nation
should be Daid and I do not see
that anything satisfactory would
result by the seizure ct the came
unless there be authority to sell
the same in satisfaction of the tax.
The law of the nation on this sub
ject does not contemplate the sale
of cattle to satisfy a deoi to me
nation in taxes and the office has
vei-v ereat doubt whether this de
partment could authorize a sale
for the purpose.
"There is no question however
that it would be advisable to r
mand all cases of the introduction
of cattle or the grazing of cattle
in the Cherokee nation over which
the United States would have iur
isdiction under Section 2117 of the
revised statutes to those courts
for -the imposition penalty pro
vided in the statute; and I doubt
verv much whether the mtroduc
tfon of cattle by a citizen of the
Cherokee nation although in vio-
lation of the laws of that nation
would be a violation of bection
2117 of the revised statutes of the
United States and constitute an
offense over which the courts of
the United States would have
jurisdiction.
"As to thif. therefore it is rec
ommended that the inspector be
advised that on account of the
limitation to his frce ' Indian
policemen it is net deemed exped
ient to attempt to enforce the cat
tie tax law against citiran of the
Cherokee nation by attempting
their removal ss a punishment for
MiLI
their failure to comply with tha Vlf
Uw but tUt It the desire that '

which amount to a violation iV jjv

utes and request bim to bring suit
under that statute for the amorce-
mentof the penalty provided."
WILL ABSORB IT.
Arkansas and Oklahoma Line
From Rogers to Vinita.
A special to the Globe-Democrat
from Monett says that a few days
ago President and General Man
airer Yoakum ol the Frisco came
into that section ostensibly on a
duck hunt but it has since devel-
oped that be was actually in search
of hieher eame. The Urisco ran-
road company is about to absorb
the Arkansas and Oklahoma line
which extends from Rogers to
Grove a distance of 50 miles and
is in operation most of the way.
It is graded to Grove I. T. The
property will be taken over about
the 20lh of the present month. J.
M. Bayless of Cassville wo. a
local banker and J. Foelker of
Roeers. Ark. likewise a banker
are the chief owners of the line.
It runs through . a very fine agri-
cultural sectioc and will be a val
uable addition to the Frisco line
and its absorption by a St. Louis
line of course means that it will
be tributary to the St.Louis mark
et. President Yoakum has gone
to New York to submit the final
details of the deal to the Frisco
board of directors. The road will
be continued west to Vinita and
thus make that thriving city the
Frisco center so far as the territory
is concerned.
