WI arise whether this trade can he con-
>tinued in an Indian couJSry. will re
uuire from your Office rome instructions
as to any modification should traders pro-
pose such III regard to the intercourse
laws. It is evident that this vast army of
laborers must be supplied while at work
on the reservation, and if your instructions
imply strict conformity to enforce the
laws governing Indian reservations. the
two regularly licensed traders of the re-
serve should have timely notice to provide
supplies which will meet the exigencies of
the case. I will at all events require the
military force to keep back the traders,
keepers of saloons, ETC., who nave
followed up the construction party named.
If decided that the agency licensed traders
alone shall be allowed to do business on
the reservation with the military force, l
apprehend no danger of difficulty in keep
ing whisky traders off the reservation:
but in regard to the prohibition of the
sale of clothing and necessary supplies by
the shop-keepers now advancing with the
arrival of workingmen, you will please
give the necessary instructions, and will
follow them and perform my duty to the
best of my ability

take into serious consideration the question
of using the small surplus appropriated
for the use of the bureau of construction
and repairs during the last fiscal year. The
chief of that bureau says the unexpended
appropriations do not amount to more
than 100000.
