which he has recently sent report to the Adjuaat-
General suggested - his mind Indian policy. The
Crow Nation numbers $40 souls and Its reservation,
which few cate Craze and few berries grow
tains 100000 acres OF valuable land " | would re-
commend" writes General Sheridan " that the Govern
ment give eighty to tho head Of each family, buy
balance from tho Indians, paying them say, half
dollar per acre. II thought proper, then purchase Gov
eminent bonds with tho money, and each year u,o
for their support, through tho Commissioner OF indian
Affairs and their agent, the interest upon the bonds,
without touching the principal Thls interest would be
very much more than is appropriated yearly and
the Indians by these means, would have perpetual
fund.- the principal OF which should never be touched e1
cept by Of Congress. In fact II all Indians and
their reservations were treated in this way better sys
Of government for tho indiana could De obtained
IL would good bargain for the Government as
the purchased land could be sold to actual settlers Tor an
advance and be occupied by people paying taxes to say
nothing OF the opening up OF the country"
