ROUND VALLEY RESERVATION.
Protests Against Any of the Land Being
Opened Up to Settlement.


Opened Up to Settlement.
WASHINGTON, March 23-Within the last
few days the Interior Department has re-
ceived a number of communications from
the Pacific Coast concerning the work of
the Round Valley Commission. Most of
them are remOnstrances about the different
features of the report, and the perpleXing
thing about it to the department is that the
report has not yet been submitted, and if
the Commissioners have done their duty, no
one outside the members of the board knows
anything about what the report is likely to
be. The commission has not get submitted
its report, and probably will not for few
days. Judging from the remonStrances
commission will favor taking frem the
Round Valley Reservation about $4,000
acres and adding the same to the public
domain. subject to settlement This leaves
the Indians about 10000 acres.
The settlers along the border of the reser-
walton, who have been using Indian lands
for grazing purposes, are very much con-
cerned. They are taking an active part in
the protests. They are very much afraid
the commission has not dealt fairly with
the Indians, and even charged that the com
mission took advantage of them and induced
them to set price on their lands. The de-
partment suspects that the settlers using
Indian lands are somewhat interested in the
matter. 1t is believed that the financial in
terest they have in the matter has prompted
them to take an active part in trying to
kindle prejudice in the mind of Secretary
Noble against the work of the commission
even before its report has been submitted.
A letter reached tie Interior Department
to-day from New York City protesting
against decreasing the Round Valley Indian
Reservation. This was considered remark
able, but the writer said he had at one time
lived in California and was familiar with
the situation. He thought it was unfair to
the Indians to even give them their price for
any of the land, as in time they would need it
all. Upon inquiry it has been discovered
that the writer is interested in some cattle
on the reservation and has for a number of
years been partner in business of this

lotte Botta, wife of Professor Vincenzo

came the center for large circle of literary
and artistic people, her receptions being at

Mrs Botta prepared as her contribution to
the fund which was collected for
the suffering women and children of
Paris an album of autographs, photo
graphs and original sketches by celebrated
artists, which was sold for $1,000. The war
closed, however, before the collection was
completed, and the money realized by the
sale of the album was used TO found prize
at the French Academy, to be awarded
every five years for the best essay on the
condition of women. Among Mrs; BQtta,s
best poems are Paul at Athens" Web
ster," Books and WASTED Fountains"
She had a finished musical style, and her
SonnetS were specially successful.

the house they found papers show
ing that Frederick Z. FitZsimmons had
recently fallen heir to property in Brookville,
Ont. A telegram was sent there and the
reply promptly came back that Frederick
c. FitZsimmons was at his home in that
city. This lends additional mystery to the
