PAWHUSKA. okla, March 20
The Usage Indian council, in charge
of J. George Wright, Indian agent at
this point, left Sunday evening for
Washington. They have fought for
months for this privilege. The trip
probably will result in the immediate
leasing of some of the unleased por-
ton of the Usage nation. A strong
effort has been made for a long time
to force Secretary Lane to recedc
from his position in this matter. II
looks now as tho he would grant the
demands of the Usage council and per-
nit the Unbiased portion of the nation
to be opened up. The recent bringing
in of an oil well on territory leased
for gas will be strong factor In the
final settlement as to the time when
the property will be leased.
