statement that was forthcoming this
week. Indian Commissioner Sells
who has been confined to his home
ON account of Illness, is again able
to be out, but as yet has not advised
with Secretary Lane in reference to
the Foster lease renewal. AT the Of
flee Of Secretary Lane a new guess Is
hazarded as TO when definite de-
cision will be reached in this most
important matter, whish has now
been hanging fire for nearly TWO
years. ut is only about ten nonths
vet until the Foster lease In the
Usage nation, held by the Indian Ter
ritory illuminating Oil company, ex-
pires and the sublesses are becoming
restive at the long delay in bringing
matters to a head. 1t is expected
that the Oklahoma oil men who have
been waiting in Washington ever
since May last for decision on the
Foster lease renewal question, Will
leave for home this week and not re-
turn again unless requested to do so
| by Secretary Lane.
| Announcement was made at the of
! flee Of the secretary last week that
| it had not as yet been decided as to
whether Indian inspectors would be
sent to Pawhuska to investigate into
the alleged actions of certain per-
| sons who are said to be trying to IN
flnenee the Osages against reap
proyal of the big lease.
