1922 Industrial Survey of Emory Pease

"This place is located well for producing hay. He usually has about 125 tons, most of which he sells. Being in the midst of the range, it is a favorite feeding place. He had quite a start of cattle recently, but owed too much on them and most them. There is a question whether he will be able to keep his land, as it is also encumbered. He is just of type in this respect. Most of the Fee Patent Indians who have some good property, give in to the temptation to go in debt and then lose their property when interest and principle become due. This man had dissipated considerably in the past, but seems to be a very good worker and have some business ability, and having gone broke, he may have learned a lesson."
