Following Is the latest Oklahoma
weather crop report:
Dry, clear, hot weather has pre- vailed
during the past week over the two ter
ritorics. Heavy local showers occur
red during the last week of July over
the extreme northeastern part Of OKLA
homa and the northern part Of the In
dun Territory. Although clear wcath-
er prevailed throughout the week, the
temperature was but slightly above the
normal. The heavy and general rains
of late so thoroughly soaked tho ground

ing were generally resumed. Com.
plants are more frequent OF damage
by rains TO grain In the shock. and
while the amount OF injury is usually
given as considerable" II appears To
bc general. The wheat and oats thrcsh-
ed this week do not show any improve
inent In quantity or quality. Wheat
seems to he general, below the aver
age, but oats Is as n rule better than
the usual yield. The excellent grow
ing and maturing weather Of this week
has put all but late fields Of corn out OF
danger Of drouth, hot winds or worms.
Fodder In some fields of the lower ma.
tions is about ready To save. and the
ears have begun to turn brown. The
condition Of this crop could hardly bo
better. Cotton has improved some.

John N. Flower, post trader mt Gray
Kansas City Journal reporter, said:
THE Usage reservation comprises
1 ,sO0,OO acres OF as fine farming and
grazing land as can be found anywhere
and 10 owned by the best Indian tribe
In the country. They are the richest
people, per capita, In the world. They
number about 1, 800 and are OF the kind
known as blanket Indians. They have
sio, 600, 900 ON deposit with the govern
rncnt and they annually receive inter.
est to the amount of siOO,OO0. The
money is part of the price Uncle sam
paid for the Usage lands In Kansas
When that deal was consumatcd they
were to receive si25 for every acre
cedcd. As the lands were sold the
money was placed to their cridit. They
purchased the 500. 900 acres they now
own from the Chcrokccs and as n na.
tion cannot dispose Of them nor as indi.
viduals can they barter them away.
The lands have never been allotted.
but should they Ice each Usage would
be entitled to about 200 acres
Many Of their children have been
educated at Carlisle and Haskell insti.
tutes. but on their return to their res
ervation have soon lapscd into their
former blanket ways. Their heads are
again shaved and the ridicule OF their
people soon cause them to forget their
education and their training In the
ways Of civilization. do not misundcr-
stand me. ! hold that the only true
way to civilizr the Indian IL by educa.
tion. We may not see the benefits of
education in this generation. but in
generations to come the benefits will
be realized. Whiskcy Is the arch.
enemy Of the Indian. lie loves II. IL
Is as natural for him to drink whisky
as IL Is for duckling to seek water.
lie drinks II Ia get drunk. and the
drunker he gets the better satisfied he
Is. The osages love IL. but a more
friendly and pcaceablc people do not
live anywhere.
"Of course the time will come when
the whites will gaze with longing eyes
on the fertile fields Of the Usage rescr.
vation. Then they will bc taken away
from them by the government and
another paradise opened up To settle
ment. The reservation is now virtual.
~ without n government; IL is annexed
To Oklahoma for judiciary purposes
only and has no connection with the
five nations of the Indian Territory.

five miles east Of there. have been
there for thirty ycers and expect to

Mr.. Flower further said on the pros.
pcrity ~ Oklahoma: Every fruit and
vegetable that grows outdoors can be
raised In Oklahoma. Oklahoma's pros.
pcrity Is due 20 her remarkable advan.
tages and her energetic people. Crops
are always good, only one bad year
having been recorded In the cigh, that
have passed since the first fields were
plowed. Wheat this year will not,
however, come up to expectations, but
tho crop will be greater than the aver.
age. ! predict n great increase in the
population In the next few years and
greater prosperity as the years roll by.
Oklahoma will make great state"
