- Description:
- The text is a telegram addressed to Honorable Elmer Thomas, a U.S. Senator, regarding a sale scheduled for May 6th covering Indian Department timber lands in Oklahoma. The sender, W.B. Barlow, expresses concerns about the short inspection time and the requirement to bid on the entire tract, which they believe is unfair and discriminates against lumbermen and other interests in Oklahoma. The telegram urges Senator Thomas to make every effort to stop the sale.
