MUST RECEIVE
PERCENTAGE
Secretary Hitchcock Holds Out
for Poor LO in Natural
Gas Proposition
Special to Globe Democrat

Special TO Gl0be-DemOcrat
Washington, Feb 2--Dr. Fite, mayor
Of Muskogee, called on Secretary Of
the Interior Hitchcock yesterday in
relation to obtaining natural gas for
Muskogee. J. L. Barnsdae, head of a
company which proposes piping nat
ural gas to st. Louis and other cities
between there and the Cherokee ma
tion and the Usage oil and gas fields
in Oklahoma territory was here a few
days ago on the same business.
Mr. Barnsdale outlined the PROPOSE
tion of his company to Mr.. Hitchcock,
who seemed to think favorably Of it
at the time and does still, provided an
equitable basis can be arranged for the
leasing Of gas wells in which the In
dian lessons may be amply protected.
The Barnsdale company desires to take
the lease under what Is known as the
old Hoke Smith lease. The tax per
we'll is sl50a year under that contract.
In Kansas natural gas has been piped
to Topeka, the result being the lower
ing Of the manufactured product from
Sl,50 per 1000 feet to 25 cents, This
can be done In other large cities, MI.
Barnsdale says, and at least 35-cent
gas could be furnished to st. Louis.
The proposition to Muskogee is at
that figure for domestic use, while
the city is offered gas at II cents.
Mr.. Barnsdale wanted to know how
large an area Of land he could secure
before beginning operations, in order
that he might provide against failure
Of supply. AT present the leases for
oil or gas wells are limited to 4,8O0
acres, in order to prevent a monopoly.
The projectors Of the new line claim
that this IS insufficient territory Tor
their purpose and not enough to justi-
fy laying pipe line at cost OF slO,s
900 per mile
The question with the secretary is,
how much Of an area should be al
lowed ? He told the men interested
that they must do business With the
lessons, who will be Indians in most
cases, and the Indians must receive a
percentage in order to be protected
against monopoly.
Mr.. Hitchcock says it would be a
shame to allow the gas to 60 to waste,
but it would also be an outrage to de-
prive the Indian Of his legitimate
share In the profits Of business that
would be conducted on such a large
scale, so he intends holding out for
the Indians.

a Pleasant Evening.

The box supper at the home of Mr..

given by the two Endeavor Societies

successful. The home was beautifully
and artisticallY decorated and Mr.

to see tnat every one was royalty

brought boxes as attractive as the
flowers Of May" and 0, the contents,
No one but those who ate can de-
scribe. The boxes, with their con-
tents, were sold at auction, and W. B.
Depue proved himself to be an auc-
tioneer of no mean ability. The boxes
went like hot cakes and one man,
whose wife was present, is known to
have purchased four lunches. While
there was some rivalry in bidding,
everything was in a sweet christian
spirit, ant the bounteous feast enjoyed
by all was not only material but spirit
ual The financial proceeds to the
Endeavorers was sl2. so.
