Among The Osagss
The Richest Of the Irdian Tribes -
Oil and Gas Industry

The writer returned last night
from pleasant visit of four days
at Pawhuska in the Usage nation.
1t is most interesting place and
more may be told in the columns
Of the EXPRESS at another time.
At Pawhuska the Indian Agency
is located. 1t is an inland town of
1900 people, six miles from the
railroad, the nearest station being
Nelogany on the "Katy." The In
dian agency Offices, the council hall
of the tribe, a reservation schoolfor
Indians and a Catholic Mission
school are located in the town.
The Osages came to their pres
ent location from Kansas rt872.
In the reservation are embraced l.,
100000 acres. A great part of the
reservation is rough country, only
about 20 percent of it being adapted
to farming. 1t is richly underlaid,
however, with gas and oil and
probably coal.
A great part Of the land is leased
to cattlemen and there are also
many good farms in the river bot
toms.
The Osages are the richest Of all
the Indian tribes. They number
between 1900 and 1900, of whom
something over 500 are full bloods.
This will give them about 500 acres
of land each when the final allott-
ment is made. They have So, 600
600 on deposit in Washington,
realized from the sale Of their lands
in Kansas. This bears s per cent
annually which is paid to them
quarterly, amounting to about Sal
per capita. In addition to this
they have their grass mon ey"
which amounts to about SIS per
capita annually and the money de.
rived from the leasing of the 100
acer allotments which were given
to them two years ago. But what
promises to be one of their largest
sources of income is the royalty
from their gas and oil leases. This
is a rapidly growing sum and they
will probably derive 500, 600 from
it next year. The income of the
Usage families varies from $500 to
$40, 900 annually depending upon
the size of the family.
Oil and gas developments have
been made all along the eastern
and northern borders Of thh reser-
vation. All the towns Of any con-
sequence are heated and lighted
by gas. A gentleman at Pawhuska
who has an room house told the
writer that it cost him about s.. 90
a month to light and heat his
house. The Indian Territory Oil
& Gas Co. has a lease on the en-
tire reservation, paying the Indian
10 per cent royalty. A large mum
Der of wells are in operation and
the pipe line Of the Standard Oil
Co. carries the oil to Kansas City.
Pawhuska will have a railroad
soon. The Midland Valley is
building from Tulsa to point in
Kansas and Pawhuska hopes to be.
come = division point.
The great questions before the
Osages now are the extension OF
the oil and gas lease above referred
to, beyond April S. 1906. the date
of the expiration and the question
of allotment. 1t is understood
that the Indians are opposed to the
} extension of the lease and that tn,
5 interior departments also opposed.
The Indians are generally in favol

ADVERTISING THAT
COSTS NOTHING.

Free Advertising, in the generally
accepted sense of that term, is not
| the most desirable kind; but it is
nevertheless a fact that the great bulk
of paid newspaper advertising costs
the advertiser nothing. That is to
say, it indirectly returns to him not
only the amount invested, but prof
it in which the whole community
shares.
The bulk of newspaper advertising
is placed by merchants. The money
it costs is paid almost wholly in sal
aries and incidentals to individuals in
the community in which the adver-
| tiser resides, so that his return is not
wholly from the trade he seeks, but
also the injection of this amount CT
money into the trade of his communi-
ty, with the result of enlarging it, per-
petuating it and multiplying it's re-
sources in all forms of industry. The
merchant feels the pulse Of prosperous
CT adverse conditions more delicately
than almost any other member of the
community. Newspapers pay by far
the larger portion of expenses in
building up the community Their in
vestment is not nearly as great in ma
chinery, stock and other forms of tan
gible property, as in brains and
Drawn. That is the reason why mcn-
ey spent with them by local mer-
chants brings two-fold returns in the
present and the future.
The newspaper as an institution
working for the welfare of the COM
munity in both material and other re-
spects, in reality makes paid adver?
tising free. The intelligent advertis-
ing patron Of such newspaper con-
tributes to the happiness and prosper
ity of the community at the same time
he promotes his own business inter
ests in the present and lays the foun-
dation for greater profits and useful
ness in the future.-Columbue, O.,
