Senate committee to study Choctaw coal lands in Oklahoma
South McAlester August 29. The segregated coal lands of the Choctaw nation await a Senate investigation and a plan for surface disposal.

Towns like Stigler and Porum expect a boom if lands are properly disposed of near the Midland Valley railroad.
