UNITED STATES INDIAN SERVICE,

Hon. G. c. Coz, Pres, $ W Wis Ind.
Association, Mineral Point, Wis.
DEAR SIR: While severing my ae-
tive membership with the S. w, Wis.
Industrial Association for a time
wish to express to the officers and mem-
bers of that Association my gratitude
for Che uniform courtesy they have
shown me during the ten years it was
my pleasure 10 serve them as treasurer
For reasons well known ! left Mineral
Point with out rendering my annual
report 20 the society This duty con
signed to Mr. John w Horn, who kind
" accepted the charge, and from his
Familiarity with the books and papers
connected with the position, J know
he will faithfully discharge the duty
Ny position here is largely connected
with agricultural and mechanical per-
suits and it is my intention (f re-
main here long enough) to have the
Indians on the reservation get up fair
on similar principles to that Of the 5.
W. Wis Industrial Association They
can beat Wisconsin on all kinds Of
melons, potatoes, wheat, and some
varieties Of fruit but they must take
back seat when it comes to poultry,
sheep and hogs our Indian farm
rot all cultivated comprises 100000
acres of land; about one fifth Of which
is fairly good land and will grow good
crops where they can irrigate.
With best wishes for the success Of
the ;. w Wis. /. A., am yours truly,
THOMAS PRIEsrLEY.

port was adopted, and the report and
