Barnett's Story
The story of Barnett and his rise
to wealth and national prominence
is romantic one. The son of
Creek chief, Barnet lived the life of
nOmad of the plains, fishing and
hunting and avoiding all contact
with the white settlers who were
slowly but surely encroaching upon
and driving the Indians from their
hunting grounds When Indian Ter
ritory became Oklahoma and the
Creeks, Chicasaws. Choctaws, Sem
inoles, and Cherokees, the Five Civ
ilized Tribes, were allotted lands for
farming purposes in the eastern Sec
ton of Oklahoma, Barnett vigorous
ly opposed any movement on the
part of the Government to improve
his condition in lofe, but the Govern
ment nevertheless proceeded to ex-
ecute its plans.
With other Indians OF his tribe,
Barnett was arbitrarily allotted q
parcel of land in the district north
of Tulsa, which later was to become
the famous Cushing oil fields. Bar
nett Indignantly refused to accept
the land. which nevertheless was al
lotted to him, he explaining that it
was fit only for coyotes and jack.
rabbits to starve in. and in nOwise
suited to the requirements Of an
humble Indian whose sole desire was
to be left alone so that he might hunt
and fish and smoke at will.
Oil Found on Land
One day about 1905. oil was dis
covered in the vicinity of Barnett's
land and few months later a COM
pany of eastern capitalists applied to
the Department of the Interior for a
long term lease of Barnett's allott-
ment, which, it was discovered, fair
ly exuded rich oil throughout its
length and breadth. In due time the
lease was executed, and by its termb
Barnett ever since has received part
of the proceeds of tn sale of oil from

BIG PROBLEM OF
CLOTHING THOUSANDS OF
NEW NAVAL RECRUITS Is
BEING SOLVED RAPIDLY

The Navy Department authorizes
the following:
The big problem of clothing the
greater Navy is being solved rapidly,
in spite of the difficulty of securing
the cloth required for uniforms.
The Navy's clothing factory at
Charleston, s. c., which is now man
ufacturing about $4,000 suits of
white clothes a month, will be able,
it is estimated, to produce 100000
suits a month when the large new
building now nearing completion is
in full operation.
The New York clothing factory
and contractors during May turned
out about 10000 suits of blue cloth
ing and the officer in charge expects.
in that plant and through private con-
tracts, to turn out $4,000 suits this
months. II the material is available,
he estimates that afer July / blue
uniforms can be supplied at the rate
of 10000 month.
Statement by Secretary
Secretary Daniels said today
Nearly $4,000 men have been en-
listed in the Navy since the first OF
this year, over 1000 of them in the
past two months. At times the re-
cruits have come in at the rate of
more than 1000 day. This large
and sudden influx, more rapid than
was expected, overtaxed the train
ing stations before the increased ia
cilities which we had planned and
which, in many instances were al
ready under way, could be completed.
1t has been a difficult proposition to
house and clothe the thousands of
recruits. The Bureau of Supplies
and Accounts has been making every
effort to supply the necessary cloth
ing. At the outbreak of the war
there were about 1000 complete sets
of uniform clothing on hand at the
supply depots all space then being
filled to its utmost capacity. With
the large increase in the number of
