Major Miles, United States Indian
agent at the Cheyenne and Arrapahoe agency
in Indian Territory, Us miles from Wichita,
Kansas, must be an unusually valuable offs
Ger, for he has actually succeeded in getting
his Indians to do some healthful work. When
supplies are to be hauled from Wichita he
makes the Indians do it, and gives them to
understand that they will get no rations
without giving some kind of an equivalent.
There is also school at the agency, where
the older boys are required to raise corn and
vegetables, and make hay for the agency
cattle. If all the reservation Indians were
made to raise and attend to stock and do
farm labor there would be no additions to
the hostile bands The Indian can reason,
and it is possible to enlist his ratiocinative
powers as to the necessity of some scheme of
self.support and disabuse his mind OF the
falacy that labor was ordained for squaws
only.
