MILLIARD'S
Big JOB
HANDLES ESTATE REP
RESENTING MANY
MILLIONS.
BURDENS OF OSAGE AGENT
Agent For the Richest Ma.
ton On Earth.

Special to Daily Leader.
Pawhuska. Feb 2. A. Possibly no
man in the world is business agent
for a greater single estate than is Ma
jor Ret Millard, the new United States
agent for the Usage Indians. The
1000 mixed blood and full blood citi-
zens Of this proud and arrogant tribe,
fully half OF whom still shave their
heads, smear paint on their faces and
wear blankets and moccasins, have
approximately sS,5O0,0OO on deposit
with the government in Washington,
from which they draw annually an in
come oe about 100000, and in adIi-
tion to this they own in fee simple
100000 acres OF fine land, of which
co per cent is adapted to agriculture.
The balance of their real estate hold
ings covers one Of the richest oil and
gas belts in the Unite dStates. 1t is
believed that the entire Usage reserva-
tion abounds in these minerals. The
development OF these resources is on
ly in it's infancy The royalties from
gas and oil in the years to come will
be fabulous, and all the money will be
paid to the members OF the tribe.
Each Usage now is easily worth $780,
GOO, and his per capita wealth may
be greatly increased.
The responsibilities OF the Usage
agent are great, and his administra-
tion is followed closely by his super
iors in Washington. He is supposed to
protect the morals as well as the
financial interests of his wards. He
must be an avowed enemy of graft
ers and dereliction in this particular
has caused the downfall of many an
Usage agent. The wealth Of the
osages invites plunderers, and the
agent must be constantly on his guard
to resist them.
Major Millard established a reputa'
tlon for integrity long before he be
came agent ior the Osages. He was
assistant postmaster at Enid, under
Captain Frank Frantz, now governor
Of Oklahoma, When Frantz was ap
pointed Usage Indian agent by Presi
dent Roosevelt, Millard became conf
Dental clerk to Frantz at 7he osage
agency, ana was recommended by
Frantz for agent when Frantz retired
20 become governor.

Did you ever see a dog gapeg For
thoroughness and entire absence Of af-
fectatlon and mock shamefaceduess
there is nothing like It, When he gdpes
he doesn't screw his face into all sorts
Of unnatural shapes In an endeavor to
keep his mouth shut with his jaws
wide open Neither does he put his
paw up to his face IN an apologetic
way while gaping in ambush, as it
were No. When he gapes he IS per
fectly willing that the whole world
shall come to the show. He braces
himself firmly on his fore feet. stretches
out his neck, depresses his head, and
his jaws open with graceful modera-
ton. At FIRST It Is but an exaggerated
grin. but when the cape Is apparently
accomplished the dog turns out his
elbows. opens his jaws another forty
five degrees, swallows an imaginary
bone by sudden ard convulsive move
ment, curls up his tongue like the petal
of tiger lily and shuts his jaws to
gether with snap. Then he assumes
a grave and contented vlsage. as is
eminently becoming to one who has
performed a duty successfully and con-
sclentiously. ly.-Pearson's Weekly.

LIVELY TIMES
In ALABAMA
OVER NOMINATIONS OF
STATE AND FEDERAL
OFFICERS
WILL CHOOSE SENATOR'S
Unique Departure In Amer.
ican Politics.

Montgomery Ala, Feb. 2.-Undor
the plan recently adopted by the state
Democratic committee for the nomina-
ton of state and federal officers at
the primary this summer, It appears
as II a lively race for United States
senator will be precipitated. The sena-
tors are to be chosen at the primary
because u the fact that the Alabama
legislature meets but once in years,
while the term of Senator John T..
Morgan expires next year, and that
OF Senator Edward w. Pettus ends
two years later. The plan adopted not
only provides that successors to the
two senators shall be chosen at the
primary, but it also makes provision
for the selection of two alternate SEN
ators. who are to be appointed by the
governor in the event that Senators
oMrgan and Pettus, or their successors
should die or resign. This arrange
ment is a unique departure in Ameri-
was generally taken for granted that
can politics
Until the adoption OF this plan It
Senators Morgan and Pettus would be
without opposition for reelection, but
it is now almost certain that both of
them will have opponents. and that in
addition there will be several in the
race for alternate senator. this latter
contest being the direct result of the
age of the two present senator's.
Among those who are mentioned as
probable candidates against Morgan
and Pettus are former Governor JOS
eph F Johnston OF Birmingham former
Governor William C. Gates, of Mont
gomery, former Congressman Richard
H. Clark of Mobile. General Rufus N.
Rhodes, of Birmingham, and John B.
Knox OF Admission. The race for al
ternate senator also is beginning to at
tract attention. William C. Fits Of
Mobile, former attorney general OF the
state, Is the only announced candidate
so far for this honor, but among tn
names mentioned are those of Con
gressman John C. Bankhead and State
Superintendent Of Education Isaac W.
Hill.
