Spokane Review,
Miss Alice C.Fletcher ,allott.
ing agent for the Nez Perces
Indians, was in Spokane yes.
terday. When asked to give
an account of her work among
the Nez Perces, she said:
II was appointed to this DO.
sition three years ago under
the severalty act of 1887. You
must understand that our Ind.
ian reservations are of two
classes. First, those set aside
by executive order, and second
those to which the Indians
possess a hereditary right due
totheir being the first residents
of the land. Of course, the U.
s. possesses the right of emf
nent domain over the entire
country, but it has no right to
the lands comprised in these
reservations Of the second
class, unless they are first ced
ed by the Indians. To this
second class belong the great
reservation of the Nez Perces
Indians. Formerly they pos
sessed all the land up the Snake
river to Boise City and down
the river until they reached
the lands of the Palouse Ind
ians. But a large cession was
made in 1866, and again in
1868, when the present reserv-
alton was formed.
"The reservation consists of
over 30 townships, the land
being partly agricultural, part
ly grazing and partly mount
alnous. 1t is inhabited by over
l,SOO Indians, most Of whom
are Christian, and all of whom
are entirely self-supporting,
receiving no anEuities from the
government. This reservation
is very interesting from an his
torical point Of view to the en-
tire northwest. Fort Lapwai.
on this reservation, was the
scene of the labors of DR..
Spaulding, a Presbyterian mis-
slonary and a co-laborer of DR..
Marcus Whitman, assisting him
In his great work of saving the
northwest to the u. S. Here.
in 1883, DR.. Spaulding set up
the first printing press and
published the FIRST paper ever
issued IN the great northwest.
Here We're grown the first
wheat, Dariey and potatoes. and
here to-day you may see the
very stone used in the mill to
grind the first wheat into the
first -four manufactured in the
northwest.
THE work of DR.. Spaulding
was carried on by two sisters,
Misses Sue l.. and Kate Nc.
Beth, who have been there l6
and Is years respectively. To-
day there are four native Pres
byterian churches and two
schools, one a large training
school, the other a primary
school.

one acre of agricultural land
being equal to two acres of
grazing land. After each Ind
ian has received his allotment
of land the balance of the res
ervation will be coded to the
government, to be sold to ac-
tual settlers. The money de-
rived from such sales is held
by the government and 8 per
cent. interest is paid on the a.
mount to the Indians for the
support of their schools. The
lands allotted to the Indians
are to be held in trust by the
government for % years, at
the end of which time the Ind
ians are to receive patents for
their lands free from all incum-
ORANGES. Thus they are pre-
vented FROM disposing of or
mortgaging their lands for 90
years at least. As soon as the
allotmentis completed the Ind
ians are to become citizens of
the state of Idaho. They re-
cognise the importance of this,
and are anxious to fit them
selves for their new duties.
"This year they asked to be
allowed to elect their own
judges and many communities
were allowed to do so. One
settlement at Kamiah, which
is out in the mountains and
away from the Agency Indians,
elected a man as Judge who is
a we'll educated and law.abid-
ing man. After his election he
saddled his horse and rode
over the mountains 70 miles to
my camp. He told me he had
been elected judge by the peo-
pie and desired to judge them
according TO the law of the
land. He asked me what book
he should read in order to know
what the law was. l told him
| would see, and a few days
later | had the pleasure of pre-
senting him with copy of the
revised statutes Of Idaho. as
that is the law which rules his
people
Miss Fletcher then spoke of
her own work among the Ind
lans and of the obstacles she
had overcome during the three
years she had been among
them. How greedy men had
threatened her life and the life
of her helpers, simply because
she insisted on doing the best
possible thing for the Indians.
She said: "The greatest diff
Guilty l had to contend with
was the opposition of greedy
white men to my giving the
best lands to the Indians. /

and thus a chance to support
