Senator J. Ralph Burton was found guilty and fined
$2500 and sentenced to serve six months in jail for using
his ollicial position to influence a case in which the gov
ernment was interested. Senator Quay in the Delaware
matter is doing the same thing but has not been mo.
lested.
The recent ruling of the Dawes commission allowing
non-registered Delaware citizens of the Cherokee Nation
to hold lands in excess of allotments since November
1902. is in direct conflict with the Cherokee treaty. They

The way to build a town very truthfully says the Ne

suDDort its indust ries. In this way small business con

out and. help them and the town will grow with the im
portance of its business enterprises.
The rush at the land office at Tahlequah surpasses the
expectations of every one. The crowd gathered at Tab
leuuah is said to be greater than at the strip payment
in 1S4. The prospect is that the rush will continue
many months. It now appears to be a wild stampede
with the idea that those who don't get in promptly will
lose something. Of course every one will have an oppor
tunity of filing and outside of the speculators there is
really no need of hurry.
