THE DAWES BILL worr DO.


Puyallup Indians Know Just How They
Want Their Lands Sold.
TACOMA. May Especial. .J-Augustu
Kautz, who has been secretary of the mass
meetings held by the Puyaliup Indians
when demands were made for the uncon-
ditional removal of the restrictions from
the reservation lands. was IN the city to-
day, together with dozen or more Of the
Puyallups. Regarding the Dawes bill Mr..
Kautz said:
all the time the Puyallup Indians have protested
against having the government handle the
money to be derived from the sale Of their land,
as provided by this bill. The governments has
cheated us so often with commissions and dis
honest agents, the old Indians especially are op-
posed to letting the govefnment handle their
money. Agent Eels has preached that We can
not stand prosperity: that II we had our money
We would drink and squander away everything.
There are only Ave or six dfunksrds on the
reservation. and on the average the Pnyallups
do not drink as much as the whites The objec-
tion seems to be that we do not know enough
take care Of our property. 1t 10 fact
that the old Indians leave the whole matter to
the yonng men, and they say II they cannot
trust shelr childsen, Who can they trust And
ment to have their l66 ~ SS,d & auction, O. pro-
yided BY the Dawes biA thers1ore. nothing will

disns will not give deeds until the purchase
money 10 piled mp In front OF thsm, and the
Dawes bill does not provide for that 1t looks a.
If the Dawes bill were designed to keep rail-
roads from crossing the reservation and reach
ing Tacoma, as under It no railroad could get .
right-of- way this year.
Terry Meeker John Swan. David Suually.
James Coates, Joe Young and Nugent
Kautz are among the Indians who concur
in the objections to the Dawes bill. It is
said under it $25, 600 will be paid to the
commission provided for, and this amount
will be charged up to the reservation
lands. So far as opening the reservation
is concerned the Dawes bill seems to meet
some of the requirements. but the Indians
demand the control of their property.
Should the Dawes bill pass Jerry Meeker
will sell some of his land and give deed
therefor. and then let the courts contest
the legality of his deed and the sale.
