proposals to build these stations
will be made at once, so that the
work will be commenced by the
close Of next season.

A yERY COOL swISDLE.

WASHINGTON, September ia
strange Indian story comes from
Montana. 1t is charged that the
Government has paid 100000 in
ten years to support Indians who do
not exist on the American soil, and
who long since removed to Canada.
The story, which is claimed to be au-
thcntic, is, that before gold was
found in Montana, that country was
inhabited by Blackfeet Indians.
This Nation is divided into three
tribes-Blackfeet Bloods and Pie
paus. 1t was the custom of the
agent for these Indians to visit the
country once a year, distribute his
supplies. and return to the States the
same season. As the gold-seekers
began nl.ing up the country the In
dams moved north across the British
line, and for ten years not a Black
foot Indian and not over five lodges
of Blood Indians have been on Amer
lean soil, save in the form of parties
visiting this side to steal stock.
These Indians do their trading at
British posts, and are supplied by
the Canadian Government. There
are still about one hundred and fifty
lodges of Piegan Indians, who spend
part of their time on this side of the
line, drawing supplies from the
United States, and they mainly live
on British g,ound, with the Bloods
and Blackfeet. The reason they
have not lived exclusively north of
the line is, that they have been at
war with the Assinaboine Indians;
but q treaty has been made, and
within year the Piegans will be off
American soil. During ten years
past Congress has annually appropri-
ated $50, 900 for the Blackfeet, Blood
and Piegan Indians, and agents have
been sent to those Indians at salary
Of 81, 500 year each. In the office
of the Commissioner of Indian At
fairs may be found the returns of
these agents for ten years for SEQ, 900
per annum. With these returns will
be found Endorsed abstracts of issues
in which are the names of the princi-
pal Blackfeet and Blood chiefs signed
to what purports to be receipts for
immense quantities of supplies and
inventories of goods. Not solitary
Blackfoot, and not over five or six
lodges of Bloods, have been on this
side of the line for ten years, and
during that time no United States
Indian agent ever saw a Blackfoot.
These names have been there by
the agents and clerks. An inspector
visits this agency once a year. He
sees few Piegans about, and is told
the Blackfect and Bloods are buffalo
hunting.
