Settlement of This Country Will End
Wagoner. I T. Sei't. 3. (Special)
Th hay Industry Is assuming consld-
about 50 tons. Prices range from $3 to
$4 according to tho grade cf tho hay.
The Industry gives employment . to
large numbers of men nt ull points
named wagevs ranging from $1.50 to
$2.50 a day.
While the hay Industry Is increas-
ing since tho nllotment of lands and
the passing of tho entile man. It can
not be claimed that it will be perma-
nent as the annual receipts to tho al-
lottee are only about 50 cents an acre
Consequently it Is claimed that prai-
rie hay will within a few years give
way to cultivated crops yielding a
much lnrser rental.
On the other hand It Is worthy of
note (hat tho Industry as now conduct-
ed puts Into circulation from $6000 to
$0000 a week in tho several towns
whero tho hay Is marketed.
In addition to tho towns ubovo men-
tioned tho towns of Kiowa und Stor-
rott In the Choctaw nation aro among
the best hay markets In tho Indian
Teritory. At theso places this tlmo of
year there Is much activity and a great

speedy settlement of tribal affairs nnd
the distribution of all surplus Indian

view the hind deed controversy nnd
that steps will be taken to settle the
matter of signing the patents.
Governor Johnston snytt that the
matter would have been settled long
since had It not been for the position
taken by McCurtaln. He having con
curred with the department rendering
the position taken by the Chickasaw
governor Ineffectual. It Is now expect
ed that Governor Johnston will sign
tho deeds rather than submit his peo
pie lo further Inconvenience.
It Is unlikely that the financial af
fnlrs or the. official conduct of tho til-
