Well, to write to »U of them will he to much of a task, so Twill write to them through • the Herald. To begin, our trip was a very pleasant ope, with the except lion of the seven mile hack ride from btejagooy to PawhuNha, and that rido was tbo roughest ono that wo ever took. The hack was,a two "horse covered spring wagon and a - poor one at that, and the driver had no conscience whatever* and he drove as though it was the last day in the afternoon, up hilt and down hill, regardless, of rocks or holes, so ■thatwe were first on one side of the peat and then the other; aside from all the shaking up that we got the rido,was rather enjoyed, and gave us a good appetite for dinner on.our arrival at Pawhuska. - Pawhuska, (meaningWhite Hail1)' . is the Indian Agency Tor the Osage Reservation, and has a population of about 2000 and, growing rapidly, The town is surrounded on all sides by hills, ranging front lOQfa 200 feet high, and* are covered with sand stone so thick that one need not step on, the groiind in walking, over them. . These bills are also over grown with1Jack Oak timber,' of a short scrubby growth, but not very much of it'saw timber* although a great many railroad ties,are cut from these.hills. They are absolute- Iy worthless as farming lands/but would be I think good fruit laqC_ hut they can not be developed along that line nntil'ihe lands are allotted or divided among the Indians indi­ vidually, and in turn, disposed o f to the whites. The only thing of any' import­ ance .Whatever; is the Oil and Gas, and this industry is being developed through Hie entire Reservation, many wells Rowing - 80(1 ’to 1400 barrels. Pawhuska, I think wilt ultimately grow to 5,000 or 0,000 as tiie QIU mm I•Hagijxdustrydavejepae, and she gets the second railroad- The Midland Valley Railway run hing from Ft. Smith, Ark., to Ark­ ansas City, at the north; passes through and" Is completed, as far north as Foraker, and m running order. The seebnd road has been chartered and will pass through /westward, thus giving the'placo an outlet in all direction. The Osage Reservation comprises about two million acres :and has an Indian population of nearly 2,000, including full breeds, half breeds and oii down tohands. They receive from the Government a quarterly annuity of nearly 490,000 which .1$ divided equally among them, mak­ ing a payment of about $10,06 for each man, woman and child, and once each year, when the royalty on their Oil and Gas is paid in they receive about $148.00 each. They spend their money faster than they get It, in the most foolish and un­ necessary way, buying every tiling they see whether useful or not, so that the Agency store hero is a pay ing business. A great deal of t'heir trading is done With the card sys tern at the Agency store, that is the store issues a Card to the individual for the next quarterly payment, and he buys on that until las quarterly pay is exhausted and then he must Walt in til ho can get a fiew card after the next payment, and so he goes on spending his money from one pay to another. They do not to know the value of money at all. Home Ifew of them pretend to farm a little and thus make a little money in this way, but tin; most of. themare very shiftless.
