alton which Is sought, the committee
declares that there Is now pending be-
fore the Indian committee of tho house
of Representatives as a part of the In
dian appropriation bill a provision for
of the Usage tribe of Indians until
1853. AZ the law now exists these
mineral rights will terminate in 1881
unless In the meanwhile they are ex-
tended by congress.
The interior department is urging
the adoption OF this provision and the
same was inserted in the bill at its
instance. The existing leases in the
Usage terminate in 1891, but should

tended, the leases are automatically
continued in force for Il like period
The same condition prevails with ref
erence to future leases. Therefore the
passage of this measure is of the ut

The committee has been i'm tele-

lows:
That the association hereby endorse
that provision Of the Indian appropri-
alton bill now pending in committee
of the house 'of representatives which
extends the mineral rights of the
Usage tribe until 1853. and should such
provision be eliminated rom said bill
upon technical objection, this asso-

the congress OF the United states on
any proper committee thereof, an IN
dependent bill for the extension OF
such mineral rights in the Usage tribe
until 1859.
- Should il appear during the present
session Of congress and after bona
fide and energetic effort on the part Of
this association that the measure re-
ferred TO above is likely to fail Of en-

committee that the association should

up the following resolutions previous
to the departure yesterday of the COM
mittee to Washington:
Resolution.
Whereas. oil and gas leases exc
cuted covering lands in the Usage res
ervation and leases 10 be executed in
the future will terminate in 1881, un-
less in the meanwhile, the congress of
the United States shall extend the min
eral rights of the Usage tribe in the
lands of said reservation; and
Whereas, the best results in the pro-
duction of oil and gas are had under
Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1917-12-13

leases which continue in force so long
as oil and gas are found; and
Whereas the fact that oil and gas
leases covering lands in the Usage res
ervation will expire in 1881. has a
tendency to impede and discourage the
thoro and complete exploration of the
reservation for oil and gas purposes,
which tendency will increase from
wear to year i'm the interval between
the adoption of this resolution and
the expiration of such leases, and
Whereas, the oil wells in said res
ervation produce quantities of casing
head gas which can he utilized in the
manufacture of gasoline which, now
ever, entails a large investment in the
necessary plants and equipment there
of: and
Whereas. the best results in the
manufacture of gasoline from casing
head gas is obtained where the oil
wells from which the gas is produced
have attained considerable age, the
richness of the gas increasing with the
age of the well, as the result of which
a long term lease alone Will justify the
investment called for in this opera
ton; and
Whereas, the United States gov
ernment, in view of the cXigencies of
the war is urging oil producers. to
employ all means possible to increase
the supply Of crude petroleum and is
urging refiners to increase the supply
of gasoline for the benefit of the gov
ernment and it's allies: and
Whereas, 1t is the sense of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Mid-Continnt
acSnniat that nr6i ~ n wv
govrnmental policies should be sub
ordnated to the great emergency crc-
ated by the war:
