ANOTHER STANDARD OIL GRAB?
Efforte Being Made to Control the
Otage Indian Field.
The absolute control of ther Osaf?e
Indian reservation oil! angas prodii;
tlon for th next twenty flvr years,
eemlnRly by thff Standard" Off com
pany, l contemplated In the bill In
troduced by Delegate K S. Mef.nlre
for the allotment of Osage tribal lands,
nnd tho abolition of tribal government.
After stipulating that oil, gas, coal or
other mineral resources are reserved
to the Osage tribe for a period of
twenty-five years, from and after
April 8, 1906. the bill reads:
"Tho oil and gas leases given fey
tho Osage tribe of Indians to James
S. Olenn and George L. Craig, at one
eighth royalty for oil, and $10(V per
annum for each gas well for a period
of ten years, commencing April 9.
on thnt portion of the Osage Indian
reservation not embraced In the re
newal act of March 3, 19or, as to the
6S,()()0 acres of the Edwin it. Foster
lease, are hereby confirmed, and satdt
leases, together with the Knwarit ft.
Foster lease as renewed by the act of
March 3, 190R, are hereby extended for
a period of fifteen years fmm and after
April 9. 19tt5."
On Its face this provision may seem
to be without guile, but Its enactment
Into law protmMy would forever shot
out hope of Independent oil production
In the Osage oil and gas field, one of
the richest In the entire Southwest.
