TICKLE THE SOIL AND IT LAUGHS 5o Say the Enthusiasts—Mistaken Bx pressions of the Extent of the Territory—All Oarry the Sia-8hooter. Oklahoma, Mr. John C. Bonnell, who recently made a trip to Oklaboma, writes as follows: Anticipating that a proclamation would be issued opening the Oklahoma country for set- tlement, T decided to see the district 8o far famed, and Wednesday, March 22, 1 started. Thursday morning I arrived at Wichita, and there was the first intimation that boom- ers were in the land, and on that morning there was great excitement because the Eagle had published at length the proclamu- tiol v sorts of devices are planned here to catch the almighty dollar, and of the many the one that gains most favor, and Las al- ready become quite remunerative, is the or- ganization of an association, and paying $1 each, this payment to insure that your inter- ests will be looked after and you assi locate a quarter section, I asked ¢ for their mode of assistance, but they could pror othing absolute but a 2-cent map. I didn’t jine.” But as Oklahoma was my destination point I took the Santa Fe train about 11 o'clock, and in a couple of hours we entered the In- dian territory. On leaving the Kansas line hoetween it and the Cherokee stripe, is as plainly defined between settlement and va- cant land as a clearing in a forest, and this lino we st 3 cast and west for many miles, as here we areon a high divide between the Bharkaska river and the Big A rkansas river. Soon we pass near the Cherokee Indian school or college, and after a half hour's run pass the Standard Oil company’s ranch. This Cherokee stripe or outlet, as it is called, is about sixty miles wide, and in surface very nice, the soil, however, is a light sandy loam, but rich. After crossimg the Sharkaska, salt fork of the Arkansas, Red Rock and Black Bear streams, we come to the Oklahoma country at a station called Alfred. The lay of land from here to Oklahoma town is bt gocd, and the soil is very red and of Ilmmruntly poor quality, but we are told that upon the divides it's better, and all you have to do here in the way of farming is to tickle the soil and it will laugh a harvest. Well, from the make-up of the averuze boomer, as I have diagnosed him in the past three days, the harvest must be secured that way, for there's very little work in him, The railrond passes through very rough land, crossing as we do the Red forlk of the Arkansus (or Cimmaron) river, Ephriam creek and a dozen others, with Indian names longer than the streams, and high divide of beautiful land (but 240 feet deep Lo water) to the north fork of the Can- adinn river, where is located the ‘‘good” Oklahoma. Here we find troop *“B” of the Fifth United States cavalry in camp, and they on duty, inviting all comers by rail to move on by next trai oither north _or south, and not allowing any settler with team or family to stop in the limits of the county npened until the 22d of April. This town "consists of a railroad depot and five or six houses, the two largest ones occupied by the Indian freighting agent and the quartermaster for Fort Reno, & port thuty-five miles west of this line. From the accounts as reported to many papers, people are led to believe that dying with your boots on, and a claim given you of six feet by three, and all such non- sense as that is the lot of the average tenderfoot, and consequently immigrants, new comers and all old timers carry the tra- ditional six-shooter. It makes them look manly you know, and I believe the only un- armed man in the town that night was your correspondent and he was and felt perfectly 8 1e. ‘T'o those of your readers who have not at hand maps of this country and the Indian Territory I will describe it. The territory proper. Umwmg out the public land strip on the west) is 200 miles wide from the Kansas line to the Texas line, and 300 miles long from the Texas line on the west to Arkansas on the east, Directly in the center of this is the Uklahoma counury, a tract of land forty: two miles east and west by sixty miles aver- age length, and the town of Oklahoma is sit- uated on the North Canadian river, at a point that makes it the exact center of the territory. Many en route to this country and many who do uot think of going, have formed an idea that the land to be threwn open for sct- tleent April 22 is a good sharc of the whole Indian territory—whereas it is only one twenty-fifth part of it. The reader must re- member that fully one-half of the Indian is_occupied by the five civilized i+ Cherokees 22,000, ownigg 5,000,- owning 3,215, territor; Crecks 15,000, (hD\'ln\\s 18,000, ncres] Chickasaws 6,000, ncros, and last, the Seminoles 8,000, owning 200,000 acres. Over one-quarter 1s taken by the Cherokee outlet lands (a strip along Kansas) 5,000,000 acres, and the following wild tribes—I give their population and ncreage—Cheyennes and Arapahoes 3,717, owning 1,250,000 acres; Wichitas 213, owning 463,000 acres, and the Kiowas, Comanches and Apaches, in total, 2,808, owning 1,500,000 ncres. Tho balance (about one-fifth), includes the Oklahoma country and reservations for the balance of the tribes viz, Sax and ¥ox, Pottawatomies, Kickapoos, Iowas, Nez Percos, Poncas, Pawnces, Kansas, Otoes, Missouris, Quapaws, Peorias, Shawnees, Senecas, Ottawas and Wyandottes, The influx of veople to this is certainly wonderful, and a great boon to the four gate- ways to this region viz, Wichita, Welling- ton, Arkansas City and Winfleld, and these points are enjoying a_wood trade'on account of it. The average homeseeker, howover, in very many cases (and I believe fully ffty per cont.) will not find m the Oklahoma country as good & claim as he had antici- pated, and here in the southern tier of Kan- sas counties, I hear the remark often made, thwell lot those who want to, g0 and contest and contend for a quarter of that land, as for my part I will not attompt to secure my homestead in the territory until the Chero- kee strip or outlet is opened up that joins on Kansas, and is as good land as Kansas.” ‘There will be a large number disappointed In tyis Oklahoma matter, and will be looking in the next two or three months for o good uarter section in Kansas, and they can now nd many government quurters, and somo relinquishments, that are for sale cheap, and shese will be picied up by the overflow from ihe Oklahoma country. Many will also buy ihe choap railroad lands i Sherman, Logan, Thomas and Wallace counties, that can bo secured ot .00 per acre at ten years credit and only 50 cents per acre down payment, and $1.500 por acre rebated for acreage im- sroved in two years, 1 comversed with Lieutenant Carson in sommand of Troop B, av Oklaboma, and he said his men were out over his district notify- g immigrants that they should not stop on any piece of land and begin residence until ihe time contemplated in the proclamation, which is noon of the 2 April Guthrie, the land office for the eastern dis- wrict, ison & nice divide between the Red fork'of Arkansas and Cottonwood creek and ihe acre resorved in proclamation for govern- mont vso 18 about one thousand feet from the Santa Fe depot.

None of the cattlemen appear to be in any v to leave. Those who own their lands \ging to fence pastures and others will herd their stock. One of the largest stock owners in the county is building « large barn, Thepoorer settlers are jubilant over the prospect of rmsing a crop without hav ing it destroyed by “free range” stock. There is a nearly universal feoling that Sioux county is on the eve of great prosperity. Quite a large immigration to our county has in early this spring, and the fecling that present season is to be one of large de- velopment is augmented by that fact. Of the five counties “beyond the sand hills,” that for the past four years have been marching on to greatuess, Sioux county the furthest west, being ' the northws county of the state, and contains a large amount of government land of fine quality. The country is thirty miles across from east to west and extends about seventy miles from north to south The surface of Sioux county is properly termed undulating. In particular places there are extensive flav valleys and table lands, and in others lofty hills, abrupt preci pices or rocky canons. small portion of the ¢ well for comfortable greatest of the hills grads and are 8 1o their very-tops I'he county 1s drained by a number of fine streams, the principal ones being the Nio- brara, or Running Water river, the White river and Hot creek. These and their tribu- taries and tributaries of the Cheyenne and Platte rivers are beautiful streams of clear, cold, soft water, In the ex- treme northwest vortion of the county is a small tract probably composed of marl and there are a fow springs the_water from which is strongly impregnated with disa- greeable salts de from these all the streams in Sioux county contain water excel- lent and healdhful for drinking purposes— springs and streams as naturally arise in a sandstone formation und flow through a fer- tilecountry, "T'he soil of Sioux county is a black sandy los 1t is alluvial and what is teemed the Loess deposit in scientitic classification. The sand and clay and vegetable mould are not altogether equally distributed throughout the entire extent of the county. In the south- ern portion there are pluces where thero is a large admixture of sands. It s not a barren country, but one covered with the finest and most luxuriant grasses and having a quick soil, and where it has been cultivated producing satisfactory re- sults, Ag: in the northern part of the county are ces where the soil has seem- ingly too much clay and too little sand and is sunbaked and hard. Generally speaking, however, the soil of Sioux county is a black sandy—just right for the prodyction of or- ganic life. The statement will answer for the great bulk of sll the lands in the county. The climate of Sioux county is influenced by various conditions, some of which may briefly be named. It is in latitude 42 to 43 north, the same as that of Massachusetts and southern Oregon. It is something more than half way across the continent from east to west, Its altitude is between 3,500 and 5500 feet above the sea. The prevailing wind is from the southwest. It is warmer here than in the samo latitude farther east, but not so warm us in the same latitude farther west for all obvious reasons. Its alutude operates to give it a dry bracing atmosphere und also permits us to catch a breath of the Pacific br s that fan the other side of the Rtockies gled with our own dry, bracing mountain winds. The rainy monthsn this section are April, M June and July. In the winter season th is generally an abundance of snow, which amounts to the same thing as rains. August, September, October and November bring us but fow showers. The writer has been familiar with the country since and including the season of 1884, and records his exper- ience. During the early summer months there has been e season 8o far in our history an abundance of rain needful for the production of crops suitable to the latitude— namely, corn, grain and vegetables. This has been followed by a_dry fall in which to gather what had been planted and sown and vielded its many fold. He who puts his hand to the plow and cultivates the soil of Sioux county with proper care may be as reasonably sure of a good harvest as tho farmer in any other favored spot in the country. He may also be confident of good weather in which to gather the results of his toil, and of healthful and generally pleasant weather ail the year. Experience has demoanstrated that the soil und climate of this section are particu- larly well adapted to the production of spring wheat. The record in regard to wheat- raising is remarkable both as to the amount and quality produced. It is expected that this will be the great money-making industry of the near future. Harrison 1s the only village county, and is finely located on a br land on the l'n,munl, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad. It is the county seat, and a handsome $10,000 orick court house is in process of construction and nearly com- pleted. Tt has & good school house, a £2,000 Methodist Episcopal church I)\llhlmg and the Yot there 18 a very b, btiblo of oultivation customary business enterprises, Within twenty-ive to thirty miles of Har- rvison aro thousands of aecrcs of excellent _government land subject to entry under tho pre-embtion, timber cul- ture and homestead acts, The passage of the law res,raining stock from running at large to destroy the crops of the settlers and the early arrival of large numbers of cager homeseekers, bringing news of many others to follow, warrant the asserton that the present season will be one of great develop- ment in Harrison and Sioux county. The naar prospect of seeing these broad and fer- tile but wild prairies changed into prosper- ous and cultivated farms is naturally pleas- urable to all who have a permanent interest in the country. S The Outlook at Crelghtou. CreGmroN, Neb., Muarch 1889, — [Correspondence of Tk Bee:| Farmers are beginning to complain of dry weather The ground is barely moist enough to plough and should we have no rain or snow soon, it is feared that crops will be slow starting, oven if they grow at all. Notwithstanding this fact, a large acreage of wheat is already planted, and a good crop is expected. Without doubt this will prove the liveliest and most sucesstul year Creighton has had for u long time. The citizens are thorougly aroused as to the necessity of prompt and vigorous action to induce immigration, Their efforts have already brought in a good many settlers und moro are comeing every day. TReal estate both in and uround Creighton is seiling rapidly ond at good fizures, The Jarge district lying in the eastern part of the and known as the speculators 1 sold and settled faster than T - .

The road will undoubtedly be huilt this sum- mer, and strenuous efforts are being made by the board of trade to secure the road for Creighton and Knox county.

FULLERTON, Neb., April 1.—[Correspond- enco of Tnr Bre]—At a meeting of tho county board of supervisors, held a few days ago, a committec of three was appointed to inaugurate some movement by which the lands in Nance county, that are not pa- tented, can be assessed in a manner that will make the taxes collectable, The land of this county—the Pawneo res- ervation—was sold by the government direct to the purchaser. The purchase monay was made payable in three instalments. Tiie act of congress, providing for the salo of theso lands, contained no provision of forfeiture 1N caso payment was not made at the tion of some stipulated time. As n quence largo tracts wero purchased resident speculators, and in many instances only @ single payment made to the gov- ornment, In somo cases it is claimed that even where the land s puid out in fall, there is no title of record. The legal title still remains in the United States government, and, it is_claimed, is not subject to taxation for_county and state pur- poses. The government seems to be in no hurry, as the unpaid_purchase money draws 6 per cent. The purchaser is in no rush, be- cause money is worth more_than 6 per cent to him, ~ So the matter stands, and is likely to stand for quite a while unléss something is done. The county attorney was instructed to go to Grand Island, where the land office 18 located, get an inventory of the lands not paid out and report to_the county clerk, so that the assessor's books might be remodeled. It is hardship on the resident property owners to be compelled to pay almost the entire tax. Large tracts of wild land, to which there is no title of record, still exist in_the county, and if the owners could bo compelled to pay their quota it would lighten the average of the tax to a considerable exient, e Sleepless nights made miserable by that- terrible cough.

CnEsToN, Ta., April6.--[Correspondence of Tur Bee.|—The educational interests of Creston have been well looked after. Her school sysiem to-day is unsurpassed by any in the state. Therolls of the public schools of Creston to-day show an attendance of over fourteen hundred, with a quota of some thirty teachers. Excenting three frame buildings the others are all of brick, furnished in the most mod- ern style. During the past year o new and clegant high school building has been erected in the most central part of the city. This building is the pride of the city, and is a model of beauty and convenience. The for mal opening of the building will occur on the afternoon and evening of the 8th of April. State Superintendent Sabin and Governor Larrabee will be in attendance. Four months ugo, under the supervision of Prof. W. H. Barrett, a busincss collezo was establishicd and its success has excceded the most sanguine expectations. In addition to these schools a fine brick building has been_erected and a parochial school established where children of the catholic religion receive careful instruction.

Lottio Riley, a young woman who works in the Diamond Shirt compan factory here, says a Bridgeport special to the Globe-Democrat, a few weeks ago pinned a note to a shirt which she was packing, asking whoever bought the shirt to write to her. She was a hand- some girl, she wrote, and had no lover. Three weoks ago she received a letter from a wealthy ranchman in Texas, who wrote in a gentlemanly way and said that he was able to support a wife in comfort, and even luxury; that life was lonely down theve, and’ he wanted a companion., She could live in one of the large cities if she wished, and have servants and horses and carringes. Ho asked for her picture and wanted a roply to hig letter. They would corre spond for a time, mum e thing was mutually satisf , tehy would come to some understanding. = Miss Riley reptied in a half-loving strain, and, instead of sending her own pic- ture, sho seleeted the photo- graph of a well-known actress and wrote her own name across the back of it. On Wednesday morning she re- ceived a telegram ~ from Fort worth stating that her unknown lover would start at once for Bridgeport, and would visit the factory where she is employed and solicit an interview. This threw the young woman into hysterics, and she is now awaiting the advent of the stranger with great trepidation.

Henry Chadwick has been very justly named “'the Father of Baseball,” says the New York World. 'No other writer has so thorough a knowledge of the popu- lar American game and no one hasdone more to promote and guard its welfare. MEXICAN For thirty years Mr. Chadwick hasbeen regarded as an undisputed authority on all points of the game, genoral or tochnical, and his acticle in the World on'the revised playing rules for 1889 will commy of every amateur. id the close attention player whether professional or Mr. Chadwick comes from a famous family of English birth, his brothe Edwin Chadwick, being the noted sar philosopher of England. He y-three years of nge, although ance indicates him to be 1¢ than fifty. I‘mlm;m his physique h been preserved by his devotion to the national game, for fow of its admirers are more assiduous than he in attend- ance. In his cariy Chadwick was n player 847, when the game he covered the position of short stop in an amateur nine in the wilds of New Jersey—now Hoboken, Since age of {hirteen Chadwick has resided 1n lyn .and is an honored ber of the distinguished society of Old Brookiynites. In journalism he has attained eminent distinction by two years of industrious and mer- us work on a score of daily, weekly and monthly publications, and for many years he has compiled books of refer- and guides for ball players. From 57 to 1888 Mr. Chadwick made the Clipper the base ball authority, and his work was the leading feature of that paper. He 18 now one of the editors of the Outing Magazine,and still furnishes articles to several leading base ball papers. Nothing has done more to advance the game of base ball in popular favor than the fact that it is conducted hon- estly on honest principles. That Mr. Chadwick, throughout Lifi long career, has ever been a chumpion of profes- sional probity in every detail of the game every person will admit who_has read his writings will admt, and it is largely due to to the dignity and force- fulness of his pen that the American public to-day are permitted to enjoy the most healthful of recreations and the most ms\-ium.in;: of all outdoor sports. ays Mr. the Mr. Brook- mem- ol I cheerfully recommend Red Clover Tonic to those suffering from troubles of the stomach and liver.
