OILTON, okla, Sept 13.-The
Usage Indians are anticipating a big
oil drilling campaign in their nation
during the fail and winter months,
according 10 visitors here from
Hominy. Pawhuska and other Usage
county points. II is said that the fed
eral government, in permitting @ re-
newal of certain big leases in that ma
ton, IS looking forward TO another
Cushing being unearthed there. and
the Indians have caught this spirit.
The Osages are receiving another
big payment of money from the fed
eral government this week at Paw
huska amounting to between S2jO,0O0
and 5000. 900 or $50 per capita. As
a rule, however, the Indians are not
in possession OF the money for any
great length Of time and many Of
them owe II all before they get 1T.
An example is cited Of an indian,
living near Hominy who recently had
his restrictions removed. Immediately
he sold his land and his cattle. thus
accumulating $4,000. OF this he
owed $4,000, leaving him but 700
for his estate. This particular Indian
has a big family and is drawing in
terest from the trust fund at the rate
OF $1,000 every three months.
