ist. Up to Wednesday night there
had been received by Tax Collector
Murray $23,000 in round numbers.
The amount subject to collection, ac-
cording to the lax duplicate, was in
excess of $20,000, but errors made in
compiling the dunlicate have been
brought to light and the total taxes
collectable will amount to $20,000,
possibly a hundred or two dollars
more.
In the compilation of the figures
some interesting statistics are snown.
William Johnstone is the largest in-
dividual tax payer in the city, the
First National Bank pays the largest
corporation taxes while Overlees &
Kupard pay more taxes than any
other firm. Persons residing outside
the city have sent in checksand drafts
to pay taxes on property owned and
in a great many instances the amount
was not sufficient to settle the account.
In other cases partial payments have
been made and Mr. Murray figures
that quite a sum from these sources
will be secured.
The property on which taxes have
been delinquent will be advertised on
March 1 and the sale will occur on the
first Monday in April. By this means
it is expected that almost all the taxes
will have been paid into the treasury.
With approximately $2"<,000 in the
treasury there are outstanding city
warrants that must be paid—almost
line they will have an opportunity of
expressing themselves at a mas*
meeting to be held in the Bartlesville
city hall on Thursday afternoon Feb-
ruary 22 at 2 o'clock. The call fo.-
the meeting has been issued by the
officers of the Bartlesville Interurban
Hailway company, recently incorpor-
ated for the purpose of building a
traction line to extend from this city
to Dewey and later to enter Coffey ville
Ochelata, Ramona and Tulsa. It ib
the purpose of the company to first
construct the line between Bartlesville
and Dewey, four miles in all and later
to build into the other cities named
The object of the meeting to be held
on Thursday is to secure subscription*
to the capital stock, that work on the-
line may begin as soon as favorable
weather will permit. It is estimated
that the line from this city to Dewey
an be constructed for $Tj,000 a mile,
but these figures do not include the
oiling stock. A considerable amount
of the stock will be taken by the offic-
ers of the company, but it is desired
that the residents of Bartlesville and
Dewey take a number ofthe shares to
be offered and a low price will be
named, the par value of each share
being a dollar. If sufficient money is
guaranteed immediate work on the
ine will begin. Assurances have
been received that eastern trust
companies and capitalists will pur-
chase stock and bond3 in quantities
that will enable the company to extend
the line to other cioies. The officers
of the interurban concern are amonc;
the substantial citizens of the two
towns, Doctor Woodring, William
Biggins, J. A. Veasey, aud William
Speck being on the official roster, it
is desired that all who can ba in at-
tendance at the meeting and assist in

cash or grain rents of from $2.50 to
$3.50 an acre. Thousands of dollars-
are paid by white men to members of

it is safe to say that the Osages are
in far better circumstances than their
white brothers in the east who bewail

are just as contented, and in many
cases are almost as well educated.
On April 8 of this year the royalty
paid by the Illuminating Oil company,

the reservation, will be an eighth in-
stead of a tenth and it is expected
that the sum to be received by eaci.

I'sury l ase Decided.
Judge Lawrence decides that a con-
tract rate of interest in the territory is
8 per cent, but that in case an attempt
is made to collect, then but 6 per cent
can be collected, which Is interpreted
to be the legal rate. There has been a
long controversey as to usury and the
penalty in Indian Territory. Judge
Raymond held that if usury is charged
the interest and principal were both
forfeited. The court of appeals was
never able to decide this question,
each one holding a diffierent opinion.
The decision made by Judge Lawrence

A delegation of Osage Indians de-
parted on Monday for Washington to
look after certain important matters

the tribe and is composed as follows:

Bacon Rind: councillors, W. T.
Leahy, C. N. Prudom, Jas. Bigheart.
Peter Bigheart, Me-ke-wah-ti-in-kah,
Muntse-wah-hlu, O-lo-ha-moie and
Arthur Bonnicastle, interpreter. This
delegation is composed of the most
prominent men of the two political
factions, the progressive and non-pro-
gressive. and strange though it may
seem, the two factions are harmoniou-
for the first time, both wanting allot-
ment of lands and division of money.
The delegates take with them an
amendment to the present allotment
bill before congress relating to the
granting ofthe railroad right-of-ways
through the reservation to the Midland

Osages themselves.

A joke is going the rounds of the
oil men, in which the residents of Co-
pan are the victims. The residents of
the village of Copan recently erected a
jail, in which to incarcerate the un-
ruly. The jail was supposed to be
proof against jail deliveries but last
week some persons supposed to have,
been employed at the tank farm opened
the jail from the outside, removed tbe
lock* and bolts and hung them up on
nails inside the door.
