Every real estate office in that part
of the new state was crowded with
anxious buyers and sellers of land;
.money changing hands by the hun
dreds of thousands: agents were busy
corraling the allottees that have been
in captivity for some time past;
leases were taken on land that was
not bought, and actual cash passed
from hand to hand, making the night
one of the most exciting in years in
Oklahoma, Every one strived to get
the first chance at the property,
The removal means that nine mil
lions of the 20,000,000 acres of Indian
land in forty counties of eastern Okla
homa, which part was formerly In
dian territory, becomes saleable,
The fight of the white man to pro
cure the Indian’s lands began the mo
ment the Indian allotments were
made, and it has been pushed ever
since, For a month agents of real
estate companies have been rounding
up the Indians and negro allottees.
One buyer entertained a number of
Indians and negroes here for three
days, the only condition imposed be
ing that they do not leave their
rooms or allow any one to enter,

Relations Between English and Amer
ican Athletic Officials Strained.
~“. London, England,—Thoughtful men
im England have serious doubts and
these doubts are being expressed in
some of the most influential newspa+
pers whether the Olympian games

warships added another 6,000 to 8,
000.

reviewing grounds were alongside of
Wolf Cove, where the British general
made his landing, and comprise the
entire range of ground occupied by
the armies of Wolfe and Montcalm,
which were turned over by the prince
as a lasting memorial.
Following the review, the prince of
Wales was entertained at luncheon by
the mayor of Quebec, after which the
prince attended the gala ball given by
the government of the province of
Quebec at the parliament buildings.
At the state dinner given by Earl
Gray in honor of the prince, Vice Pres
ident Fairbanks occupied the post of
honor on the prince’s right, with Ad
