city. It is surrounded by a rich agri- cultural and grazing country. The business portion of the city is well and substantially built. There are more two and three story brick and stone business blocks than in any other town in the territory. It has all the indications of becoming a large city in the near future, having made great progress within the past two years on account of having been the seat of the Dawes commission and the United States Indian inspection office. The largest mercantile establishment in the city and the territory is that of the Turner Hardware Co .. capitalized at $165,000, and doing an enormous wholesale and retail business. Mas- kogee is the seat of such government as is afforded the Indian Territory. The Dawes commission. the United States Indian inspector. the Indian agent. U.
