Not long ago stopped for the night
at a farmhouse in a small Hancock
county town, and there heard one of
the most interesting stories which has
come my way for a long time.
The house was rather pretentlous,
two stories high, painted white and

was a farm Of some hundred acres,

she was asked A pleasant smile, and
then:

We could, so we told her. The horse

for the evening meal. 1t was good,
substantial meal of fried potatoes, a
good steak, plenty of wholesome but

house, some eight or nine years the
voman's senior, was a pleasing talker,
as was the woman, so that the time
at the table was most enjoyable. In
the course Of it the people at the house
learned that yours truly was news,

brought out this story:
It was after supper and we were all
sitting about chatting of the different

Washington, Jan 24-The lease of one million

tive Curtis has bill before the House Committee
Indian Affairs which permits the Secretary OF
the Interior in his discretion. 10 renew the lease
for period not 10 exceed fifteen years. The COM
mittee has been giving hearings, and considerable
interesting testimony regarding the value of the
lands in question, and the opera tions OF those in
control has been developed.
II shown that man named Foster obtained
a ten year lease OF 1Oo000O acres from the Usage
Indians presumab bly, for the purpose OF prospecting
for oil, for which he agreed to pay one-tenth
royalty. This agreement has been strictly ad-
hered TO. and members of the Usage tribe who were
before the committee indicated that they were
satisfied with the income derived. AS the one
tenth royalty for the month of December alone
amounted to about $4,000 it will be seen that the
