Hopeful Indian Agency Reports.


The annual report Of NJ. d. Gallagher,
agent at Pine Ridge, is given out from the
Indian bureau ut Washington. The num-
Der of Indians at the reservation is 5,611;
number of acres of the reservation tillable,
400. 900; number of acres cultivated. 4,42O;
number of stock Of all kinds, $4,000.
There were 273 births to 256 deaths during
the year. The amount of land left to the
reservation under the Sioux bill Is 2,OOo,-
600 acres--more than enough to give $40
acres to each Indian, man, woman and child
on the reservation. The crops have been
late and are rather poor. The Indians left
the crops to meet the Sioux commission
ers, and the cattle on the reservation de-
stroyed great part of them. The agent
and he believes the Ogallala ban at his
agancy ara superior tn all other bands Of
Sioux. Great improvement has been made
in the Obeguenes at this agency, and it is
believed the Sioux will in time become
self-supporting. The police have been
very efficient, and aided in preserving Or
der. There is a great deal of complaint
made because of the practice of allowing
young bucks to be taken to exhibit in wild
west shows and circuses. The agent rec
ommends that it be stopped. Pine Ridge
has been favorable place for securing
wild west material. The stock of the In
dian is now branded by individual brands
instead Of by bands, and each Indian owns
his own stock. The agent recommends
that sheep be purchased for the Indians.
There are three missions Catholic. Epis-
copal and Presbyterian. The Ogallala in

being 100 scholars enrolled and only 70 IN
for 200. More school buildings are rec
mended. The Indians want the reserva-
ton surveyed and the boundaries defined,
so that no dispute may arise between the
whites and Indians, and that trespassers
may be kept of the Indian lands.
John w. CrSmsie, agent at Fort Totten,
submits hts eighth annual report for the
Devils Lake and Turtle Mountain Indians.
The Turtle Mountain tribe aro wanderers
and are sometimes on the reservation and
sometimes in Manitoba. They do little

land on the reservation and $3.50 are cul-
tivated. There are $50 families living on
