MINING LEASES A SPECIALITY
Man Who Keats Poor LO Must be Past
master In The Gift Of Grating.

Kansas City, Oct "a special from
Muskogcc, |. T., to the Journal says;
This fact regarding conditions in
Indian Territory was well illustrated
by u cnse heard before Indian Agent
J. Blair Shocnlelt. About the time
of the oil excitement in the Bartlesville
district there was great demand for
lenses on oil land in that vicinity, and
these oil leases were sought both by
experienced men and tenderfcet. The
case referred to vas that OF an Indian
who had entered into six different
leases for the oil rights on his allot-
mcnt, each one of whom paid him
money and thought himself secure in
the possession of a fortune. But one
day The six lessoes happened to meet
and discovered from each other tnat
they had been buncoed by the ''poor
Indian" and it was TO be a contest to
sec who would be the winner and who
the loser. Each made application to
Colonel Shoenfcit 10 have his lease
approved, and when they were all in a
hearing was ordered and each sub
mitted the evidence obtainable to prove
that his was the only reliable and
valid lease in existence on that piece
Of land. The attorneys for the Stand
ard Oil company held one OF the leases
and put up II stiff fight to sustain their
fair reputation with their clients.
Others just as astute, however, also
held leases, and when the evidence

Peruvian Presidents.

Most Of the presidents of Peru have
been soldiers. They have attained
power by the aid of the army, and at
the expiration Of their constitutional
terms have usually endeavored to con-
tinue themselves in office by the same
means. They have been practically
dictators, and their rivalries have kept
the country in state Of turmoil.

was all submitted about the only point
that had been clearly established was
the fact that Poor Lo bad entered into
six lenses where lie should have made
but one, and had cotton nice piece
Of money from the "boys" who arc
among the smartest and smoothest in
the Southwest No decision has been
rendered.
There are many cases similar to this
one, and it is pretty generally admit
ted among those who have had ex.
pericnce that the man who gets the
best of an Indian or Crecl, negro must
be postmaster in the hrt Of grating,
If he doesn't get the worst Of a deal
pretty often. There are many would
be grafters who have come to grief,
and have invested in experience many
thousands of dollars. One well known
banker of Kansas who has weakness
for speculation on the side Is said TO be
in $4,000, and would DO glad to cash
out at so cents on tile dollar. He made
q speciality Of agricultural leases. One
company here, in which Governor
Porter is said TO be largely interested,
Is reported TO be Tin the hole" about
$50, 900 on minor leases alone, II Judge
Raymond's decision is finally affirmed.
1t is no secret that practically every
man here who dabbled in agricultural
leases on Indian lands did SO with the
expectation of grating on the Indians
and making easy riches, but experience
has shown that it Is d wise one, indeed,
who has not paid for lot Of expert
ence The same thing is true Of the
so.callcd trust companies that are
so numerous. 1t Is probably true that
some of them were incorporated to
transact a legitimate business, but SO
many were started only to pursue
grating policy that the very name has
bccomea bywordand almost asynonym
for graft and disrepute.

"Why?"
"That's another question. A lawyer,
YOU know, is busiest when other people
are in trouble. Hard times brings on
litigation. There are foreclosures, re.
Ownership cases, bankruptcy cases, and
all that kind Of stuff. Prosperity, of
course, brings on II certain amount Of
commercial law business. There are
contracts to draw up, titles to investi-

This Is what is called Office practice,
But for some reason it doesn't keep the
lawyers busy. Perhaps there arc too
many lawyers Prosperous times make
business light in the courts. People
will adjust and compromise their diff
fercnccs and devote their time TO maxi
ing more money, rather than to fight
over a small SUN i'll dispute. When
hard times come and they haven't any
chance to make more money then they
will hagglc over the small amount of
moneyin dispute. Another thing that
tends to hurt tine law business Is the
wholesale consolidation Of business en-.
terpriscs. When four or five firms,
each OF which has y lawyer on IN an.
nual salary, consolidate usually all the
lawyers but one lose their jobs One
lawyer will attend to the business Of
the consolidated concern where it took
live TO do it before, 1t is surprising
how many lawyers have lost good
clients in this way.

of them showed nc the docket OF the
Mcpherson district court the other
day. 1t shows that only one new case
has been docketed there in three
months. Several lawyers have told me
that they wanted to 60 into the news
paper business. 1t is strange, but
true, that the newspaper business
seems to have increased in proportion
to the decrease of the law business.
Lawyers realize it. In some of the

Judge doesn't spend more than sixty

district which las nine counties, it

county to clean up the docket on the

WON HER OWN PROMOTION.
Young Woman Who Has Been Ap-
pointed to Office In the
Philippines.

One of the recent appointees of the
department of justice is that of Miss
Floy V. Gilmore to be an assistant at.
torney in the Office of the attorney gen,
eral of the Philippines. She is the first
woman ever appointed by the depart.
ment to such an important position
She owes her distinction entirely to her
ability and ambition. She was born in
Indiana and is 2s years old. Army of.
ficers who knew her in the Philippines
say she is very pretty, says Washing
ton report.
Miss Gilmore was clerk and secretary
to E. Finley Johnson when he was pro-
fessor of law at Michigan university
She devoted her spare time to studying
law and graduated from the university
law school. When the Philippine iudic-
iary was. esta blished in 1901 Prof. John.
son was appointed judge of court OF
the first instance.
Miss Gilmore went with him. She
took the civil service examination and
was appointed stenographer in the at
torney generals office. There she dis
played such marked legal ability that
Gov. Taft appointed her to her present
position and she was unanimously con-
firmed by the commission. Her salary
as stenographer was S1,400. She
now draws twice that much.

BOARD ON HOUSEHOLDS.
Accommodations offered New York.
ers Who Like to Live on
the Water.

The fact that board can now be got
on houseboats near New York puts the
bachelor maid and the single man
boarder in a position to test a new
order of domestic accommodation
says the New York Sun.
Two sorts of houseboats offer sum.
mer accommodations to boarders
First, there is the boat of comparative.
ly primitive description, which does n OF
rent for a large sum, on which the
boarder gets merely a berth and a
locker, and all the furnishings in the
various departments are of the sim.
plest and plainest.
Then there is the houseboat of high
class English pattern, with all modern
house conveniences, antique fittings,
library, staterooms, etc, and liberal
amount of deck room. The rates of
board on the two kinds correspond
with the accommodations offered.
The water facilities for houseboatine
within 25 miles of New York are such
as~to arouse enthusiasm for this sort
of summer lodging.
Doubtless in addition to houseboat
boarding colonies there will soon be
houseboafs' offering furnished rooms
and apartments to the public and
Others making speciality of providing
meals for the neighboring roomers.
