A LEADING DYE HOUSE
High Class Cleaning of Delicate Fabrics
"a Speciality on Which a Repu-
tation Has Been Made.

Mr.. z. A. Reeves Is one of the success
full dsers and cleaners who has been en-
gagged In that line or business in this
city for a period of twenty years. Mr.
Reeves has two well-equipped receiving
offices in the city. one at go Ninth
street northwest and the other at al
Seventh street southwest. The former
office he opened about ten years ago.
Mr. Reeves has quite a complete dye
works, and his cleaning is an excep-
tionally fine department. The finest
evening gowns and fancy dresses are
cleaned and pressed with the greatest
possible care and skill. The fact that
Mr.. Reeves has been IN this business for
twenty years is the strongest evidence
that his work is OF a high class, and
also that he does not belong TO that
irresponsible class of cleaners and
dyers who could not make good any
clothes which they might ruin. One
cannot afford TO intrust the finest fab
Tics TO parties who have neither reputa-
ton nor financial responsibility. Mr..
Reeves stands high IN both these re-
spects. His work is handled by ex-
perts ia their line. and all work is done
with great promptness. Mr.. Reeves
dye shops are located on Fourth street,
where he works large force OF men.
No goods are received there, however,
All business is transacted through the
Ninth street northwest and Seventh
street southwest offices.
Courteous attendants are in charge OF
both these places.
Mr.. Reeves has telephone connection.
and goods are called Tor and delivered
promptly without additional charge.

ANOTHER GOOD Dinner
LADIES OF TRINITY THIS TIME
Fed One Hundred and Sixty People
Yesterday.

The ladies of the Guild Of Trinity
church gave a dinner yesterday which
yielded satisfaction not only to those
who ate it, but also to those who pre-
pared and served il. When the World,
in announcing this meal, said it would
be excellent, il knew what il was talk
ing about, but even the World was
very aereeably surprised at the trou-
Bile and care TO which the ladies had
gone in order TO tickle the palate and
please the taste Of every man and wo-
man IN Tulsa.
Preparing and serving dinner,
such. as the one referred to. is no easy
task, and it Is very doubtful If the
ladies Of any church would undertake
one we're not the needs of their church
pressing and imperative. They de-
serve success and they deserve encour
agement.
The ladies Of Trinity fed 100 people
yesterday, and gave them dinner
well cooked. well served and of grea
variety. They gave good value fol
De. and that is what everybody want
ed and wha. everybody was pleased
with.
They labored under disadvantage
in not being able to ecure the room
they expected TO use, and which they
had advertised, and we're compelled tC
move into another at the eleventh
hour. In spite of this. however, they
realized a handsome sum Of money for
their church.

OIL FLOWING FROM WELL OVER
SURROUNDING COUNTRY.
NOBODY GETTING Benefit
Peculiar Conditions Prevailing on Lot
70 in the Usage Nation on
Improved Land.

Oh! wasting at the rate of 900 bar
rels a day is the condition Of affairs
on lot -, in the Usage Nation. The
policy of the government has brought
about this extravaganza and under eX-
listing rules and regulations nothing
can be done to prevent this great
waste.
The conditions are peculiar and will
be interesting reading to those unac-
quainted with them. therefore they
are briefly related
The well was drilled on lot -
by the Devonian Oil company of ,his
city. Lot 73 lies in the Usage coun-
try, about half way between this city
and the Kansas line, or about 25
miles due north from here. From the
Kansas line to the Creek line, the
Usage land is laid off in lots number
ING from | up to several hundreds.
These lots are covered by what is
known as "blanket" lease. A re-
cent ruling of the department exempts
improved or cultivated lots from the
lease, and on these oil men are sup
posed to have no rights. Unimproved
lots they can drill on, the indians to
receive as royalty one-elghth of the
value of whatever may be developed
il used to be one tenth.
When the Devonian drilled on lot
73 there was nothing but wire
fence around it. In no other way was
il improved, and in no other way Is 1t
improved now, and the company, hold
ing suitcase under the blanket
lease, naturally thought it was one of
those which came legally under the de-
velopment provisions. They struck
oil. fine well, flowing easily l,6OO
barrels daily. To the amazement OF
all concerned the Indian agent has de-
cared that the lot is improved y
and prevents anyone from deriving
any benefits from the oil.
The Devonian Oil company, after
its work and expense of drilling, sees
the oil flowing over the surrounding
country; the Indians are losing the
royalty, and all because of the red
tape methods of foolish and incom-
petent Indian bureau.
