At about noon battalion after battalion

doing in splendor its predecessor , only to
break ranks as they kiss the rookbonnd

AUKANSAS CJTT , Kan. , Aug. 23. [ Special
toTiiu BKB. ] Thousands of "boomer" outllls
awaiting the opening of the Cherokee outlet
are cnmpcd on the banks of the Walnut and
Arkansas rivers near hero , Now that the
president's ' proclamation has been issued ,
and the uoon of September 10 decided as the
hour of opening , a great Influx of homo-
seekers Is expected , and it Is almost certain
that between 90,000 and 40,000 people will
nmko the run from this point.
When In 18C5-CO the United States pur
chased the country of the Osage Indians nnd
rnado southern Kansas of it , they secured
ono of the garden spots of America. This ,
Cowloy county , Is unrivaled In its produc
tiveness. It Is watered by hundreds of small
streams and three largo rivers. These con
ditions exist in that portion of the Cherokee
strip Just south of Arkansas City to the
Oklahoma line , In which is nearly all ot the
$2.50 per acre land open to settlement. In
.the division Just west the land is not so
good , nnd'vrllt bo obtained for Jl.GO per aero ,
and the poor laud still further west will cost
the settlers $1 per acre. Even In the
poor land good crops can bo raised by Irriga
tion , but about the same conditions exist
there as In western Kansas. In Oklahoma ,
within the same lines of meridian as the
$2.50 land , thuro are this year enormous
crops of grain and fruits. It might justly bo
called the melon patch of America. Thou
sands of acres have been devoted to growing
water and musk' melons and they are very
cheap. It Is said 'that the darkies down
there are too fat to work < .and nro busy stor
ing up the fat obtained from the water and
sugar In the melons to take them through
the winter.
The Ctlnmto
In this latitude is adapted to the growth of
tobacco nnd cotton , and large crops of the
latter are bolue annually gatnered In Okla
homa. The days are not unpleasantly
warm , the average summer temperature be
ing 88 ° , ana the nights nro cool. The win
ters are oupn.and It would entail no hardship
to spend tlie Reason In h tent , ns many set
tlers have donb before and will do this win-
tor. It is intotheso , conditions that the now
Bottlers will cOme. < -
All along the Kansas line west from hero
thousands of homcscokcrs are camped and
the southern line In Oklahoma is crowded
with boomers from Texas and the south ,
Tlio border towns nro all in a lively and ex
cited condition and the scenes previous to
the opening of'Oklahoma ' are being ro-on-
actcd. Now that the president's orodama.
tlon has boon issued a greater Influx will
occur and the border will be crowded.
Ono of thu unpioasant features and injus
tices connected with the opening of Okla
homa will be pbviatod this time , as the
United States troops will have charge of the
opening ceremonies instead of United States
deputy marshals. It is notorious that at thu
opening of Oklahoma the deputy marshals ,
who were nil political appointees and who
were supposed to see that fuir play was
shown all along the line , lot in their friends
ahead of time , and they themselves gobbled
some ot the choicest quarter-sections and
town lots in the territory.
Driving Oir Iho Soonorg ,
Troop B , Third cavalry , In command of
Captain J. B , Johnson , is in camp on the
Walnut river and details from his com
mand nro constantly patrolling the
strip , driving oft the ' 'soonurs. " who
go on for the purpose of getting the num-
'bers on section corners and picking out the
particular quarters they will run for.
Captain Johnson is in possession of Informa
tion to the effect that oue troup of cavalry
has beuu ordered here from ouch of the fol
lowing forts : Fort Hlloy , ICun. ; Fort Hone ,
Okl. , and Fort Elliott , T'ox. These troops
will have complete charge of the opening.
On thu morning of September 10 they will
line the border on both sides of the strlo ,
keeping back the "boomers. " Along the
center of the strip , thirty miles from each
boruor , other troops will be stationed , who
will move toward each border , driving all In
truders before them. They will start In
time to get to the border just at'noon , when
the strip opens. At high noon , central
standard time , the troops will lire their car
bines simultaneously all aloug both borders ,
and the rush will commence. The troops
have already burned over most of the atrip ,
burning all the high tufts of grass that
might aid in concealing intruders.
A very important 'innovation connected
with the opening is'tlio ' new method of reg
istration ordered by Secretary Hoko Smtlh
and suggested by an Arkansas City man ,
who has been In other rushes nnd got loft.
Registration booths have been established
at all the bonier towns , and at these , be
tween now and 'the opening , all Intending
settlers will go and register their names , at
the same time proving their eligibility to
take land. They will bo given a corUHcato
and a badge. On the morning of the open
ing they will again go to the booth and their
certificates will bo oflluially stamped. This
will prove iv protection to themselves and defeat -
feat "sooners. " '
The boomers now here feel encouraged'at
the thought that ut this opening bona lido
settlers will have a chance. There are
claims for onlv about 23,01)0 ) bona lido settlers
tlors In the good lands , nnd as there will bo
probably 125,000 people iu the rush , the pro
portion of people who will bo disappointed
will bo very large at best.
.Tho lypn of Hoomor.
The class of 'boomera" on the ground at
this time is very good. A good many sensa
tional reports huvo gone out thai many of
the "boouiors" vv ro starving and that many
of them had already died of starvation. To
any one on the ground these reports are
ridiculous. Mr. F. M. Strong , a son
of W. B. Strong , ex-president of ttio
Santa Fa railroad , is president of one
of the strongest b.iuks In thu southwest and
knows probably us much about the financial
condition ot the boomers as any muii In a
recent Interview hestatedthat his bank held
10,000 In do | > 03tts belonging to thu "boomers'
camped iu tills vicinity , and that ho know
that there was no less than $60,000 , dis
tributed around belonging to these people.
The "boomers" are from almost every
state iu the union. Camping side by aide
are families from Kentucky and South
Dakota , and the difference between their
cuuip oiiUHs Is us noticeable us their accent.
Some of them are people of good education
and seine means , wnoso roving dispositions
have led them to desert good farms and
homes Iu the search for an El Dorado. Iu
such camps will be found gasoline stoves ,
porcelain lined kettles , clean bed clothing , a
good cow and a llttlo Jluek of chickens ,
They cat'buichoi's meat" and white bread.
Among the poorer and more shiftless ohm
thu cump outfit U miserably poor and they
subsist mainly on that delectable dish
known as fried "BOW holly" and corn bread.
Tlio animals of nil are , however , thu best
feature of the outlita. The big prairie
aohoouera which belong to all ouults are
generally tmulcd by Dig Missouri mules ,
while led behind thu wagon or driven to a
buggy by BOIUO member of the party , gener
ally one of the women , are ttie horses which

It Is not likely that they will Uko the
trouble to strip thomsolrcs when It comes to
making the svrlm at that tlino. Many of the
"boompM" will RO In with buckboards and
llRht sulkies , to which will bo hitched run-

ttventy-Jlvo younc men hero who h vo

the risk of having their machines broken by
the jolting they will get over the prairie
hummocks and their frequent fulls.
