OSAGES HALT ORGY
OF MONEY WASTE
Tribesmen Turn to Cattle In

Noted Success.

PAwHUSKA. Okla. July 23.-The
Usage Indian, who has been cropping
around trying to find some satisfac-
tory way to spend his oil riches. at
last Is achieving success.
Where seven years ago the Usage
was bewilderingly surveying his bank
book and trying to see how fast he
could spend his mounting wealth on
fancy motor cars. fine clothing and
other gewgaws. he now is contentedly
building fine homes, buying pure bred
liv, stock and reaping benefits from
his millions.
Floored the Tribe.
The shock OF sudden wealth. which
came when oil wells spurted black
gold all over the hilldotted Usage
prairies, fioored the tribe for nearly
10 years. The Government stepped In
with law restricting the disposal OF
Indian money to curb the spending
orgy.
Two classes of Indians were estab.
lished by this law-the competent and
the incompetent. The competent In
dian could draw his full allotment
each quarter. while the incompetent
could draw only $1,000 Of his allot'
ment, the remainder going into a
trust fund at Washington.
Owns Shorthorn Herd.
Under this law there were certain
items, however, for which money
could be withdrawn from the trust
fund. One of these was for the pur-
chase of live stock.
Since January 1, figures at the
agency here reveal. more than $40 900
has been allotted to the restricted
members of the tribe for the purchase
of pure-bred live stock. This, however.
is but a small portion Of the total eX.
penditure for this purpose. as thou.
sands Of dollars have been spent by
the competent members of the tribe.
Henry Tall Chief, full blood. owns
one of the finest herds of shorthorns
in the State. He has 40 registered
head that cost him $4,000. He owns
a modern home and Is one of the lead
ers in a movement to interest his
tribesmen again in tilling the soil.
Thousands of Herefords.
Then there is Noah Hamilton. whose
herd of Herefords is valued at more
than $4,000. He is continually adding
new stock. Ben Mashunkashey, an
other Usage. is interested in raising
Poland China hogs. He points proud
ly to the blue ribbons his hogs have
won in livestock shows.
There are many others, but perhaps
the outstanding cattlemen in the
Usage tribe are w. T. Leahy and j. T.
