Sooners Headed Off to Open Lands in Guthrie Scheme
The president’s proclamation creates a 100 foot wide strip around the Cherokee Strip for settlement opening. Guthrie men plan to race to Perry and Bitter creek townsites from Chilocco Osage and Ponca reservations, aiming to claim prime lots. The land office confirms reservations from opening and denies permission to run there. An Army of Land Seekers grows as Interior Department estimates 60,000 to 75,000 settlers for Sept 18 rush. An amendment sets aside every 18th section for school use and every 830th for a university land. Troops are moved from Fort Riley to assist in Indian Territory.
