The Osage Indians of Oklohoma,
are said to he the richest people iu
the world. The annual income to
these people from the rents of their
pasture lands alone makes them im
mensely wealthy, not including the
$8,000,000 in the United.Slates
treasury which brings them an an
inducing ] nual in :ome of $-100,000. The value
ol their land holdings amounts to
$7,850,875. Each member of the
the tribe, counting men, women and
children has an annual income of
$604 25. They raise all their food
stuffs and imtuh grain for the mar
ket. The realty holdings of the tribe
hare a per capita valuation of $3,987.
There is no other race of people in
the world that can make such a
j showing.
