VINITA..IND. TER. MAY 21.
Vinita will raise that railroad
bonus but just who will get it is
not determined yet. The people
that will build the first road prob-
ably. '
Tarns Bixby's paper the Mue-
kocee daily Pheooix is opposed
to single statehood or perhaps
more properly speaking any soil
of statehood for the Indian terri-
tory.
Tarns Bixby chairman of the
Dawes Commission is said to fav
or double eiatehdod. Now that
does settle it. If anything more
is said about single statehood
Tams may get mad and resign.
The area of the Indian Territory
by itself is 31400 miles. There
is no important state east or west
bo small and not a state west of
the Mississippi river comparing
with it in Liliputian dimentions.
Yet there are some people who
would fain have this the little blue
hen of the west.
The chief obstacle in the way of
any sort of statehood for the two
territories is that the state would
be democratic. The recent visit
of Secretary Hitchcock seems to
have convinced everybody from
the Dawes Commission up or
down as the case may be that
this country is democratic.
That deep rumbling noise you
hear from the north ie not a Kan-
sas cyclone headed this way. It
only the boomlet of Colonel Soper
for National Committeeman trying
to escape from the political inert-
bator. Phoenix (Bixby's paper.)
Is it possible that Col. Soper
has the opposition of Bixby this
early in the game?
The convention of chiefs at Eu-
fuala can have but one effect if it
has any and that is to help along
the piecemeal absorbtion scheme
the admission of Oklahoma now
with the purpose of adding Indian
territory when the time comes.
Such a course might land Dennis
Flynn in the United States Senate
and give Oklahoma all the state
institutions and the privilige of
forming a state constitution. The
chiefs' of the five tribes ought to be
muzzled.
Marrs reports the Secretary's
visit to Vinita about as follows:
He's come. IIe'3 gone. Bixby's
paper.
Before he left however he reit-
erated his former statement to the
eflect that the Cherokee people
living in the upper country need
not go to Tahlequah to file that
the land office would be removed
back to Vinita. There were no
icyleu banging to "Adolphus" at
Vinita either.
It is faid J. George Wright is
y a very tick man at Hot Springs
and not at all likely to be able to
BBturne bis duties as Indian in-
spector in the Indian Territory
any time'soon. Without any ref-
erence to hit physical inability
Mr. Hitchcock should know and
docs know that Mr. Wright is not
the man to place at tlj a head of so
important a matter ut the Indian;
service in this territory. The place
is an exceedingly difficult one and
requires a man of more tact if not
of more general ability than Mr.
Wright poeeesees. The inepector
is the personal representative of
the Secretary of the Interior and
should be hie trusted lieutenant
and confidential advisor in all the
business of settling up the affairs
of the Indians of this territory.
The work could certainly be has-
tened by the appointment of a dif-
ferent type of man to J. George
Wright"

QUEER SIGN LANGUAGE.
lilriU ni"l Auliuulw lluvr Vu of
Com iiiui lent Iiik Oilier Tlum
by Crlea.
'The higii language once forming
lull an extonhive part of the human
vocabulary ami still used with much
profit is not unknown to lower or-
ders of life" said a man who lakes
much interest in matter of this sort
according to the New Orleans Times-
Democrat "and I have had occasion
in my time to observe some rather
impressive instances. Some of the
signs are understandable. Many of
them are plain as words of human
speech as for instance the sapsuek-
er's love call the rabbit's drumming
the head gesture which accompanies
the cluck of the old hen when she is
trying to attract the attention of her
brood to a tit of food she has uncov-
ered in the soil.
"But there are many mysterious
and altogether inexplicable things to
be found in this strange realm of
signs. Every sign means something.
We may be sure of that. It is a part
and parcel of speech. It conveys a
meaning definite enough to the crea-
tures in the particular order of life.
I'.ut there are bn many signs which
ere not followed by results which
throw light on their meaning that
the field becomes one for interesting
speculative inquiry. What does the
duck mean for instance when sim-
ply bobbing the bead up and down?
It is not confined to one sex. Drakes
anil hens resort to the same form of
speech. I have seen them go through
this motion in perfect silence and
when the motion of the head would
not- be followed by any other activ-
ity or by sound of any .sort.
'"They just nod nt each other. It
may lie simply a friendly sort of
greeting a nod of reassurance that
'all is quiet on the Potomac' and
that there Is no fox or other danger-
ous intruder anywhere around. Or
it may be a flirtive sort of speech
the duck's way of smiling and goo-
gooing. I don't know how this is.
1 only know that it happens. It may
be of course that this movement of
the head mid neck is physically nec-
essary like the habit of yawning or
the unconscious movement of the
limbs of human beings liut ducks
yawn and stretch very much after
the fashion of the human kind sun
the movement to which I have re-
ferred may result from a similar
motive. I would like to know. Can
nnv man tell me what a duck means
by silently nodding to one or more
of his companions?
MEXICAN MONTE CARLO.
An American Cowboy Jlecomea a

Far more extensive than the do-
main of the prince of Monaco is the
territory over which Frank L. Troctor
holds sway. It comprises the whole
state of Sonora. Hy the government
of Mexico he has been given a long
lease of the gambling privilege in the
state says the Baltimore Sun.
The extent of gambling at the ta-
bles of Frank Proctor equals if it does
not exceed that at Monte Carlo.
Camanea the largest and richest
mining camp in Mexico is the center
of l'roetor's principality. In this
wealthy community where nobody
earns less than $150 a month 1he sway
of Proctor over gambling is absolute.
It is not many years ago that Frank
Proetor was a common rollicking Ari-
zona cowboy. His stamping ground
was the wild borderland of Sonora and
Arizona. In this mystic region he par-
ticipated in exploits which caused the
hair to raise and the heart to stand
still. Ketween Apaches and bad white
men he'earried his life in his hand for
many years.
Xot long ago YV. C. Greene married
the daughter of Frank I'roctor.
Greene was not. at that time rich in
the world's goods but he v as rich with
the energy and enterprise which have
since made him n multimillionaire.
Three years ago W. C. (Greene man-
sped to attract me aueniion oi tw
Vork capitalists to his Camanea mines.
He had been a cow puncher prospector
and miner and his luck was like that
of others. Now YV. C. Greene owns
a $:;).000000 copper mine and is right
ly known as the copper king of Sonora.
Greene did not forget his friends
when fortune came upon him. He pro
vided for all of them.
Through Greene Proctor secured an
exclusive gambling concession over the
entire state of Sonora from the Mexi-
can government. This concession
gives to him the income of a multi-
millionaire. 1
In the mining camp of Cainar.ea
alone more than JJO.OOO pas-es over the
tables of Proctor every day in the
vear. Some days as much as $1:00.000
passes over these tables. It require? a
force of !00 men to operate the gam-
bling houses. A profit of nearly $2-
000000 a year is derived from the gam-
bling in Camanea alone.
Light from llneterlo.
The use of photogenic bacteria in
a miner's safety lamp is new but
the existence of light-giving bacteria
has been known for years Those
used in the lamp may be produced
Ly keeping the flesh of fres.li herring
or badiloek in a three per cent solu-
tion of table salt at a temperature
a little above freezing point. In a
few days the whole mass give
off a greenish light which may be
brightened by adding sugar.
