In the heart of the Bohea mountains.
SEQ miles inland from the Strait of
Formosa, today.
Andrews and his bride are in one
OF the widest regions of uncharted
Asia, where no white woman and few
white men ever have gone before.
The region abounds in big game OF
all kinds and there are cannibalistic
tribes to be feared also.
When she left Mrs Andrews wore
khaki knickerbockers just as the men
wore. and carried All automatic pistol
for self-defense and a rifle as well, TO
help collect the specimens and pro-
vide TODD for the larder.
Rev. Perry L, Caldwell at Fut Sing
wrote so convii'eingly of the man
caters that prowl around the native
villages there that PROT. Andrews
was inclined TO believe the missiona-

species,
These terrors Of the jungle hans

OSAGE SITUATION
IS HANGING FIRE

Although Superintendent J. George
Wright Of the Usage agency denies
that the Usage council has been sum-
monod to Washington, private adVices
from the capital are to the effect that
II the council has not already been
called to Washington to consider the
opening of the western half of the
Usage for oil and gas leases that II
soon will be.
Mr. Wright denied emphatically
yesterday that he had in any way
urged the council to act favorably on
the petition of the Doherty- Kansas
Natural people to open three hundred
thousand acres in the Usage for COM
petitive gas lease bidding. 1t had been
reported that Mr.. Wright had so
used his influence.
II is well known that the Doherty's
have asked for this three hundred
thousand acres to be opened and that
a number of oil men have asked for
the opening of much of this territory
for oil leases The secretary of the
interior a few months ago declared
he would oppose any such action, but
conditions have changed considerably
since then.
At any rate it looks as though
things would soon be brought to
head and the matter of the future
policy of the Usage nation determined
for while.
