The Crow Reservation.

A Washington telegram, dated Octo-
Der 18th, has the following good news for
Yellowstone county, and those who.have
long wanted to procure some of the val
liable Crow reservation lands for farms:
Secretary Teller, it is understood, will
recommend in his annual report the cut
ting down of the great Crow reservation,
which now amounts to about 5000 acres
to each Indian. He says that while the
whole power of the government is just
now being exerted to hinder white
man from getting more than 100 acres of
land. although he may be ready to make
it productive at once, there is a sentiment
which demands that an Indian shall keep
thousand acres or more which he makes
no use of and is willing to part with if
he is left alone. He is in favor of cutting
down all the great reservation to the
actual needs of the Indians, paying them
just what the surplus is worth and spend
ing the money for the education of their
children and furnishing them supplies,
farming implements, etc. He does not
regard it as matter of sentiment, but
public policy and common business sense.
1t is not believed at the interior depart
ment that the report to the effect that
the opening of the great Sioux reserva-
ton in Dakota is being engineered IN the
interest of land ring is well founded.
That such stories have been prevalent
cannot be denied, but it is not clear how
they can have any foundation in fact,
because the appropriation bill which
provided the money for the convention
with the Sioux contained clause which
says: "Any land acquired by the govern
ment under this treaty shall he disposed
of only under the provisions of the home
stead act" To secure a large block of
this land with such restriction thrown
about it would require the preparation
of frauds which could hardly fail of de-
foction
