the act of congress, which were not
clearly understood, be read again. These
related to the taking of lands i'll several
ty and the methods OF extending the
permanent fund. Governor Foster ex-
planned carefully all these provisions,
White Swan addressed the commission,
complaining that the Poncas and San
tees wonld unjustly profit by the pro.
posed sale of lands. He complained
that the Indians could not take the land
in severalty and make a living on II as
the crops were SO frequently failure.
The government IN the past has inyari-
reason @ he Would refuse @ to to sign.
Grow, Eagle, Little No Heart, Rattling
Rib, Spotted amp other chiefs, represent
ing the four bands at the agency also
spoke, ell complaining of the non-fulf!li-
ment of former treaties and carefully
evading discussion of the present bill
Each concluded by stating that he would
not sign. General Crook reminded the
Indians that they have not been cheated
In the Black Hills purchase. 1t took
two dollars to produce every dollar 5
worth of ore taken out OF those mus.
There was great amount of worthless
ground. BY the present bill the Indians
were getting more than the land was
worth. The Indians, he stated, had ac-
tuully received much more than was
promised under the treaty of 1868. lie
reminded the Indians that they would
certainly never get a better offer than
the present. Instead of complaining oil
the past, they had better think of the
future. While the opinions of the chiefs
expressed would make the prospect ap-
pear rather dismal here, there are no in
dications that the commission is discour-

United States land Office Spokane
Falls Wash, July 1s, 1880
Hon. Commissioner of the general
land office, Washington, ID. G. SIR:--By
your letter "E" dated April 30, 1883,
your office directed this office to with
draw from further entry or filing twen-
ern portion of this land district. The
action ofyour office in this matter was
based upon report of a Mr.. HIS. Martin,
who was at that time serving Che gov
ernment as special agent. Mr. Mar
tins report was, iii substance, to the
effect that the surveys of these town
ships were fraudulent and grossly de-
fective, thus rendering the Plats of no
value for official use. The plats thus
withdrawn from use had been on file for
n long time (some of them for several
years., and filing and entries by settlers
had been made in accordance Herewith,
and i'll some instances patents had been
issued for lands, after the required resi-
dence under the homestead and preemp-
| tion laws. In many other cases persons
living within these townships had coint
piled with the law for the required pc.
riod, and had submitted, or were aboni
to submit, proof in support of theit
claims.
The withdrawal of tho plats from Off,
cial use put a stop to all further action
! with reference to lands within the vast
| district included in Mr.. Martins con-
ldennatory report, and in many instan-
ces thishas worked hardship to settlers
interested 4 cloud has in tho
merntime hovered over all titles
previously acquired and settlers
have been held in annoying sus-
pense awaiting an adjustment or inquiry
| into tliis alleged defect in surveys. Tho
prolonged delay on the part of the govi
| crnment in making this inquiry and ad.
| justmcnt has occasioned much discon.
tent and widespread feeling of mis-.
treatment of those who have complied
with the law respecting their claims,
and arc thus delayed in. obtaining titles.
Many difficult questions arc constant
ly presented ms to what will be the effect
! upon the claims described and held
under the old survey i'm case new sur.
vey should make radical change in
lines, and the general anxiety for early
action in this matter Is constantly urged
upon this Office
1t may be that the surveys nre as de,
fective as the special agent reported
them 10 be, and possibly even worse.
have made inquiry, however of a great
many persons acquainted with the sec,
tion lines or corners, as found in these
townships and have not yet met any
lsperson other than Special Agent Martin
who has found any defects in the SUR

In conformity with the urgent re-
quests of settlers and others interestedI
permit me to again respectfully suggest
that the order Withdrawing these town.
