JAMES D LYNCH
The Historian Makes Vinit
a Visit
James JJ. Lynch arrived from
Chicago last night and U stopping
at the Western. He has been en
gaged in writing a history of the
five tribes for several yeara past
Of his work the Chicago Inter
Ocean has the following:
"James D. Lynch the southern
writer whom Chicago ipeople re
member as the author of the ofli
cial poem of the world's fair en
titled Columbia Saluting the Na
tions' is in Chicago stopping at
the Great Northern hotel. Mr
Lynch now lives with his children
in Sulphur Springs Texas but he
has spent most of his time during
the last three years traveling over
Indian Territory and preparing a
book on the Indians.
This work was taken up at the
suggestion of Hoke Smith when
he was secretary of the interior
with the idea that a history of the
past dealings of the government
with the Indiana would be a val
uable guide for the future. The
book is now completed and Mr
Lynch has come to Chicago to put
it in the hands of reliable publish
ers.
The book is a complete review
of all the dealings of both the
British and th-e United States gov
ernment with the five' Indian
tribes which constitute the five
nations of Indian . Territory as
well as a history of their origin
and contains biographical sketches
ot the leading Indians of the terri
tory and mutch descriptive matter
Its compilation necessitated t
great deal of research among the
works of other authors and gov
ernment reports. The descriptive
parts of the work were written
while Mr. Lynch was traveling
through Indian territory whole
chapters being written in stage
coaches.
"Through the operation of the
Curtis law Indian Territory will
become a regular territory or a
state within two years and the In-
dians will become citi2ens of the
United States" -said Mr. Lynch
yesterday. "The Indians want it
to become a state and there is suf-
ficient population there to make
statehood possible. The day is
very near when Indian Territory
will be a splendid state of the Un-
ion." The Name Sioux.
The Indian name Sioux as it ap-
pears in such town names as eioux

ids is usually pronounced "Soo"
bujt sometimes in the east chiefly
that eimple pronunciation is not
known. A committeeman not long
ago visited a school in Xew Eng-
land where he heard the pupils
say "Si-ox" with complete assur-
ance. At a favorable opportunity
he quietly spok to the teacher of
the error saying "You know it
is Soo' " whereupon she ceked
the attention of the school and sol-
emnly announced: "You feave
all been pronouncsng this word
wrong. It is not 'Sior' but 'Son-
ax.' " The committeeman lacked
the courage to pursue the subject
further. Exchange.

Timber Cutting; Regulations.
The new timber regulations
made public by the interior de-
partment are regarded as being
very strict and it is expect
ed that a general protest will go
up from the railway companies
and other corporations desiring to
utilise this timber against these
regulations as they are far more
stringent than expected by the
by the agents of the companies
who secured the regulations it will
be remembered timber can only
be cut on agricultural land desired
to be cleared and then only with
the express consent of the tem
porary allotteee. Much complaint
is being made because of delay in
acting upon applications for cut
ting timber in the Choctaw and
Chickasaw nations. The secre
tary of the interior seems to be
n no hurry in granting privileges
this direction. The Indians
get more protection under the reg-
ulations than formerly as it has
always been maintained by them
that the timber industry and also
the quarrying of stone business has
suffered from abuse flora persons
who took advantage of the privi-
eges granted to them. South Mc-

Chairman tuttle Goes East and Will
Probably Remain.
Mr. Dwight M. Tuttle chairman
of the Muskogee townsite commis
sion has received an invitation
from Secretary Hitchcock to come
to Washington. There was no
other information only than that
he was indefinitely furloughed as
chairman of the commission.
Mr. Tuttle stated to the Times
representative this morning that
be presumed that the secretary
wanted information regarding the
present status of the Muskogee
townsite afiair. He said that
nothing could be done until the
njunclion was dissolved and it
was practically useless for him to
remain here. .ur. i utile stated
further that he did not expect to
return to Mukogee. or at least
that his return was altogether
problematical. Accompanied by
bis wife he left on today's flyer
for the east. -Mrs. Tuttle wiil go

Bagdad is one of the last of the un-

Edward Bok writing in Ladies' Home
Journal on "A Boy for a nusband"
contends that "no young man under
years of nge is In any sense compe-
tent to take unto himself a wife. Be-
fore that age he is simply a boy who has
absolutely nothing- which he can offer
to a girl as a safe foundation for life-
happiness. He is unformed in his char-
acter unsettled in his ideas absolutely
ignorant of the first essentials of what
consideration or love for a woman
means. He doesn't know himself let
alone knowing a woman. He is full of
fancies and it is his boyish nature to
flit from one fancy to another. He is
incapable of the affection upon which
love is based because he has not lived
long enough to know what the feeling
or even the word means. He is full of
theories eoch one of which when he
comes to put it into practice will fail.
He is a boy pure and simple passing
through that trying period through
which every boy must pass before ho
becomes a man. But that period is not
the marrying time. For as his opinions
of life are to change so are his fancies
of the girl he esteems as the only girl
In the world to make him happy. The
man of 30 rarely weds the girl whom he
fancied when he wns 20."
