Lamar Oh the Indians.

WASHINGTON CITY, Dec. S-Secretary
Lamar asserts that the Indian must make
his final stand for existence where he is now
located, either adapting himself to
new conditions or suffering extinc-
tlon. Tho race Is no longer a
source of danger to the republic, The
secretary recommends that p1tion of ca ch
reservation be divided into farming tracts,
TO be allotted to individuals The surplus
lands should be converted into money and
invested for the benefit of the various tribes.
This Is not the plan advocated by some of
dividing up the lands, but modification,
Mr. Lamar thinks that only portion of
each tribe should be placed on homesteads
at first, and the number increased gradually.
He thinks a sudden breaking up of the
tribal relations impossible. He says the re-
suit of leasing Indian lands to cattle com
panies is evil, and believes the leases
were made in many instances in
favor of the companies by col
lusion of the Indian agents
He recommends the appointment of COM
mission of not more than six men of integ-
rity, intelligence, and experience, and of
such ability as to be able to comprehend
the course of treatment and methods of
management best adapted to insure the
speediest progress of the respective tribes
and bands, to visit each of the reservation
and investigate and report the condition,
peculiar circumstances and needs of the In
dians residing thereon.
