0SAGES ARE
FAVORABLE
TO ALLOTMENT
OIL h-Ioh-hah-wal-la Is Stalking
Out Thirteen Claims.
AGENT ENCOURAGING II
Doing More Effective Work
Than Dawes Commission.

Guthrie, o. T, April Safeguarding .he
allotment of Usage Indian land, the Usage
Journal, of Pawhuska, prints the follow
ing:
while up in the agents office the other
day, Mr.. Mitscher informed us that. over
nine hundred aIlotments had been taken
by Osages. At the same time Oh-loh-hah-
wal-la, an ex-chief, was just making a
filing for himself and twelve others, most
ly children and grandchildren of his. 1t
has been the general impression among
the people who have kept in touch with
the Usage people that the full-bloods were
strictly against allotment under any con-
dition whatsoever. but this belief seems to
be without any foundation, for. the half
breeds who are supposed to have been for
allotment first, last and all the time,
have not taken as many allotments as
have the full-bloods. Yet, it is true that
the half-breeds are in the majority in
point of population. Oh-loh--lah-wal-la,
in making his thirteen filings had it so
arranged that he and his children and
grandchildren will have their allotments
all together and practically all in one
body. Each one of those allotted will
have 16O acres of good, tillabIe land, max
ing total of 1850 acres of first-class
land. Besides this, each one OF them is
entitled, so we are informed, to $40 acres
of pasture land. making a total of $500
acres of pasture land. This will make a
very nice farm, indeed.
1t would seem to us that the step now
being inaugurated by the Osages is one
that is leading toward final allotment at
a pretty swift rate. We have been in
formed that as soon as a sufficient num-
Der have signified their willingness for
allotment the department will take such
steps as il sees fit to abolish the tribal
customs now being in vogue and put each
Indian on their allotment of 160 acres to
the individual. If this be true Mr..
Mitscher is accomplishing in a very nice
way what the Dawes commission over in
the Indian territory are finding very diff
ficult Allotment is what the Osages have
in store for themselves. 1t is to their
interests to have allotment and a division
of ali monies they have.
