  With 
  the 
  sanction 
  of 
  the 
  Secretary 
  of 
  the 
  Interior 
  this 
  clause 
  was 
  

   inserted 
  in 
  all 
  town-site 
  deeds 
  on

  Omaha 
  and

  the

  of 
  buildings 
  on 
  the 
  main 
  street 
  to 
  brick 
  and 
  stone; 
  while 
  

   this 
  action 
  temporarily 
  retarded 
  the 
  erection 
  of 
  structures, 
  it 
  has 
  

   added 
  greatly 
  to 
  the 
  appearance 
  and 
  permanency 
  of 
  the 
  town. 
  The 
  

   population 
  (1910) 
  of 
  Walthill 
  is 
  S10. 
  In 
  less 
  than 
  a 
  year 
  after 
  its 
  

   organization 
  the 
  town 
  expended 
  114,000 
  for 
  a 
  commodious 
  brick 
  

   and 
  stone 
  building 
  (fig.

  for 
  a 
  graded 
  school, 
  in 
  which 
  both 
  white 
  

   and 
  Indian 
  children 
  receive 
  instruction.

  It 
  would 
  be 
  difficult 
  to 
  trace 
  the 
  tribe 
  or 
  even 
  the 
  direction 
  whence 
  

   the 
  first 
  missionary 
  influence 
  came 
  to 
  the 
  Omaha. 
  In 
  the 
  last 
  decade 
  

   of 
  the 
  eighteenth 
  century 
  individuals 
  of 
  the 
  tribe
