Indians Oil Income
Is Now $1,000 a Day

Jackson Barnett, of Henry
eta. Okla, the rich Indian, who
is the owner of U. S. war bonds
to the value of $7O4, 600, is still
receiving newspaper attention.
He now figures in government
literature distributed for the
purpose of stimulating interest
in the coming bond issue. In
addition to his bonds, Barnett
has $483, 900 cash on deposit in
various banks; has $50, 900 dol
lars loaned at 8 per cent; has
5, 900 in war savings stamps, all
that he was permitted to buy.
His holdings are now valued at
about 100000 dollars. The in
come which made Barnett rich
was derived from oil royalty
coming from an allotment near
Cushing Okla, which was forced
upon him by the government, as
Barnett was one of the Snake
Greeks who would not appear
and choose an allotment at the
time the government was appor-
tioning the land to that tribe.
Barnett's daily income is near
ly 1000 dollars. His expenses
are $125 a month.

waking Up" Other
Towns of County

for the betterment of conditions
in every sphere. Pres. Sam'l F.
Smith. Alof Larson and E. F.
Chaffee made the trip to Clay
Springs and Pinedale.
Joseph w. and Don C. Smith,
in behalf of the Navajo Club,
went to Taylor last Sunday a nd
organized chamber of COM
merce for that town. J. Alvin
Decker was chosen chairman of
the new organization and Miss
Myrtle Wakefield, secretary.
Good roads, membership and en-
tertainment committees were ap-
pointed. From all accounts
Snowflake will now have to look
to her laurels, as Taylor's organi-
5ation is preparing to start a
campaign that will put that place
on the map as a live-wire town
of the county.

force of men at work this week

company's bridge over Cotton

it substantial for heavy hauling.

Lost, Strayed Or Stolen

Lost, strayede or stolen, the
official minutes of the Star Cham
Der session of the board of su-
pervisors and its clerk Teeple.
The finder will return same to
said clerk or to Tiddly Winks of
the Holbrook News, the official
paper of the county, for publi-
cation and receive a reward.
These minutes are the unpub-
lished proceedings of the board
wherein the supervisors and its
clerk Teeple assumed auto
cratic jurisdiction over the elect
crate and demanded the resig-
nation of the county attorney to
make room for the appointment
an alleged attorney whose SER
vices could be used to a better
advantage in furthering the de-
signs Of said clerk -Teeple. This
alleged attorney, it is said, is
capable of representing two eli
ents Of opposing interests at the
same time if the proper retainer
is produced.
The law provides that all ses-
sions of the supervisors shall be
open to the public and that the
minutes shall be published in
some paper of the county. Not
withstanding this plain provision
of the statute we are advised
that a Star Chamber meeting of
the board and its clerk -Teeple-
occurred, and after the lapse of
several weeks no minutes of it
have been published.
People from all parts of the
county are inquiring for the rec
ord of this extraordinary session
and still it is withheld from the
public. Since it is not forth
coming and the official paper of
the county evidently prefers to
publish the ancient writing of
Moses who escaped the wrath of
the kings of Egypt in the bull
rushes, the Herald will be glad
to undertake the publication of
the minutes of this Star Cham
Der meeting, free Of cost to the
county, for the benefit of our
readers. For this purpose will
the supervisors, or it's clerk
Teeple kindly furnish US with a
copy of the record properly au-
thenticated by the signature of
the county attorney, whom we
are informed featured at the
session? We ask for this authen-
tification as proof to our readers
