13?a homes, furniture, barns, etc, of
the Osege s Indians are valued at $2,
kxmjoq.
While the Indian bureau has not re
ceived official reports regarding how
the Osage Indians spend their money,
they have heard from various sources
that prosperity has ugone to the heads
?f the Indians." The Indians, it is
laid, spend more money for beads and
paints and other finery dear to their
heart than do the society belles of
New York city.
Although Pawhuska is the capital
of the Osage nation, few of the In
dians live thfre. They have a village
of their own outside.' It is a squat,
squalid village with the oil rigs back
ing up to them, surrounded by dust
and weeds. There is a church and a
schoolhouse and a couple of thousand
dogs. The place gives the impression
of being anything but the homeland
of the richest people in the world.
, A few of the better class of Indians
do live in Pawhuska itself, although
the great majority of them prefer the
farms or the native villages.
The city Indians have some of the
best houses in the town, but they
do most of their living in the back
yard or on the front porch.
Chief Meets Prima Donna.
Bacon Rind is the moving spirit of
the O sages. He has been in Wash
ington and conferred with the Great
White Father, but he does not care
to meet ' ordinary passersby ? except
strangers of more than passing con
sequence, as when fc noted prima
donna sang at Tulsa. In the foyer of
a hotel in Tulsa hangs a picture of
this modern chief. Her interest piqued
by the picture, the diva sent for Ba
con Rind, who arrived, not in his
picturesque feathers, but in the beet
suit of clothes in Oklahoma. From
a rear view he looked like a snappy
oil promoter. The two walked up and
down the local Peacock Alley and
then the famous visitor sang a song
for him. Bacon Rind listened re
spectfully? aot to be swept from his
feet
"Pretty good," he grunted when she
had finished ? and walked away.
Despite the fact that these Indians
are the richest In the world they are
slowly dying out The number of^pure
bloods is constantly growing less. At
one time the Osagss numbered a mil
lion. Now they are about 2,000, and
of these only 000 are full-blooded
Osages.
Great joy has recently been caused
not only among the Osage Indians, but
among other tribes who own valuable
lands, by the decision of the govern
ment that it will not collect taxes on
,oll lands which are owned by these
"wards of the nation.
This decision has resulted in the re
payment by the government of many
thousands of dollars which It bad col
lected in Income taxes from the In
dians. Jafckaon Barnett, reputed to be
the richest of aU the Indians, was re
imbursed to the sum of $216,000,
which he had paid In taxea since 1017,
while six others received sums rang
ing from $8,000 to- $100,000.
Disposal of the fortune of Barnett
has been arranged at his request to
keep it out of the hands of "deelgn
tag persons" when he dies, according
to Commissioner of Indian Affairs
Burke. The plan. It was said, assures
Barnett an income of about $50,000
\ year during his life and disposes of
the bulk of his estate. Through Sec
retary of the Interior Fsill the sixty
y ear-old Greek made erer $050,000 to
the American Baptist Home at Mus
kogee, his home town, to be deposited
with a New York trust company. To
his white wife, Anna Laura Barnett,
he deeded a similar sum He left
$100,000 on deposit with the Interior
department
