And. speaking of these old-timers.
do you know. minor leagues. as well

games popularity to the old-timers
now scattered throughout the land?
Organized baseball is growing
broader year after year. There were
"a minor leagues and two major
league bodies in 1906. as against 10
leagues to complete the schedule in
1900.
AS the years roll on big league he

Pawhuska, Okla, Sept 12.-This is
the capital of the Usage Indian reser-
walton, which occupies the northeast
corner of Oklahoma. There Indians
are. per head. the richest people in
the world. Not one of them need do
a stroke of work. And they don't.
They are the Indians Of the picture
books the fellows with the gaudy
blankets and feathers and such.
There are 1887 Osages, or about
400 families. The full bloods number
S41 and the mixed bloods 1,096.
They have SS.372,427.s0 in cash.
This amount and the present reserva-
tion were given by the government
in 1877 on condition that they live
here and give up lands they occupied
in Kansas. This money is kept in the
United States treasury and draws 5
per cent interest, which is paid to the
Indians in quarterly installments.
That means a distribution of over
100000 every three months.
The reservation comprises 1.470055
acres of land. well watered and tim
bered, and including wide stretches OF
fertile prairie soil. 1t is underlaid by
what many experts believe, will prove
to be one of the largest oil and gas
deposits ever discovered. Both these
wealth producers have already been
found under 10000 acres of the land.
There are strong indications of coal,
lead and link the development of
which is delayed by lack OF railroad
facilities.
Captain Frank Frantz, the Indian
agent here. said: "On a low property
valuation the wealth of the Osages
is between 100000 and $4,000 per
capita"
Every man. woman and child shares
alike in the ownership of the prop
erty, and in the quarterly payments.

from patriarch to papoose. Last May
there was an extra payment of s179
per capita. This was a distribution
of the accumulated Qualities for graz
ing paid by the white renters. which
amounts to s1500O0 year, and the
oil and gas royalties which reach the
same amount. Thirteen times 179
equals S2.327, the size of the roll Mr..
Kiwahhotha dragged down from the
pay window when the big payment
was made.
But this is not all. The Qsages
have been urged to select homesteads
of 100 acres each, which will be owned
by them when the reservation is finally
divided Members of the tribe to the
number of 1,543 have made such Sc
lections. They have been encouraged
to have this land converted into pro-
ductive farms. Some who have shown
interest and ability have been allowed
control of more than their homesteads.
They hire white men to work their
land on shares. Many of the Indians
derive from this source incomes of
500 to $1,000 year.
Their tribal government calls for a
chief and a council of eight members.
The present chief is O-Lo-Ho-WalLah.

Washington, d. c., Sept 12.-Pa-
cific coast cities are rapidly growing
according TO the latest compilation Of
the census office.
Possibly the Pacific coast cities will
take exception to the figures. The
population estimates are based on
the rate of growth during the ten-year
period from 1890 to 1900.
Other reports from the west all in
dicate a rapid rate of growth, and the
unofficial claims are far in excess of
these official estimates. Some author
tiles assert that the population Of
many of the coast cities has actually
doubled in the past five years.
The city of Los Angeles, it is fig
ured, is growing at the rate of 5000
people a year. The official count of
1900 gave Los Angeles 102 479. This
estimate puts the population the fol
lowing year at 107,126; in 1902 at
111,773, in 1903 at 116.420, and this
year, in June, at 125, 400.
When the 1900 census count was
made. Portland, Ore. had 90, 426 peO-
pie. The government experts estimate
that the city's growth during the next
year raised the total 10 3169 that
the following year made it 95,912 and
that In 1903 the population was 9S,655,
Following the same rate Of increase
the government estimates the popula-
tion Of Portland, June /, 1905, at 104,-
141.
The population Of Seattle is sup
posed to be increasing at the rate OF
3,7S3 people year, and on that basis
the federal experts estimate the 1905
population at 99,586.
Tacoma, when counted five years
ago by the federal government, had
3I7l4. The unofficial estimate of
Tacoma's present population Is 55.43S.
Spokane, which had 36,S4S in 1900.
is now estimated at 45,3l3.
Los Angeles has, according to this
volume, 297 miles of paved streets.
Portland, Ore, has l44 miles of
paved streets.
Seattle has 46.2 miles Of paved
streets.
Tacoma has PIT miles Of paved
streets.
Spokane has 9.S miles Of paved

FAMOUS PICTURES NOW
AT PORTL AND FAIR

Portland, Ore, Sept. 12-The mu-
scum of art at theLewis & Clark ex-
position contains the most notable col
lection of pictures ever brought to-
gether in the west. Upon the walls
are hung paintings representing a
value OF more than S1,0O00O0, though
some OF them are Of such priceless
worth that mere figures cannot be
used TO appreciate them. Scores of
pictures by the old masters, and the
best selections from the newer artists
of Europe and America are there.
The pictures have been grouped in
such a manner as 10 aid the art con-
nOisseur and the layman TO study them
to advantage. The art exhibit is free
to all exposition visitors, anu those
who miss seeing this collection OF the
worlds best paintings will wait many
years before another such opportunity
presents itself.
Albuquerque evening citizen., 1905-09-12

Pupils are given board, books, cloth
ing and tuition fee. The expenses of
the schools and the cost of running
the agepcy are taken from the gen
eral tribal funds. In addition to the
regular branches the children are
taught farming, dairying, carpentry
and blacksmithing. Those who desire
higher education are sent to Carlisle,
Haskell or other Indian schools.
The Osages have twice voted for the
allotment of their property, the royal.
ties TO be held apart from the land
and to be distributed as at present
II is probable that within a few years
such division will be made with the
government, however, retaining
charge of the property of the old peo
pie and such others of the tribe as are
not able to protect their own inter.
ests.
Albuquerque evening citizen., 1905-09-12

The assistant chief, Bacon Rind, is
the sage of the tribe.
The tribe is divided into nearly a
dozen bands, each in charge of a su-
bordinate chief The names of some
of these bands are: Big HILL William
Penn, Strike AK, Saucy Chief, Clare
more, Beaver and Black Dog. They
live in villages in various parts of the
reservation.
The biggest village is located a mile
from this town. In consists of about
seventy-five cottages of various sizes,
though mostly one-story high, tents
and tepees, scattered promiscuously
around a one hundred-acre lot.
An agency boarding school and a
contract school conducted by Catholics
are provided for the Indian children.
Each has an attendance of about $50.
