great fielding game and made number

was not what it should be and both
sides suffered. but Roanoke cot the
worst OF it.
For the first three innings neither
side scored. In fact not hit had been
made. In the fourth with two men on

The delay and expenses necessary to

GREEN RIVER, Wyo.. August 10
Indian Agent Teter makes the follow
Ing report TO the DOM missiener of Indian
aHAlrs: Certain Indians state they will
go to Jackson's hole for the purpose of
hunting as soon as the hayipg season ia
over, claiming they will starve during
the coming winter IL they do no, kill
game at this season for winter subsist-
ence and that they have a right TO hunt
In Jackson's Hole.
I'm my opinion 1t Is absolu tely neces-
sary TO keep the Indians on the reser-
vation. Even II they are justified in
going to Jsckson's Hole, as they seem
determined to have revenge on the set.
tiers, they will go prepared for that
purpose and are discussing plans to that
end. The best solution can present is
to enter INFO the contract for the big
ditch on the reservation as soon as pos
sible, which will give the Indians en-
ployment and an opportunity to earn
money with which to provide for them
selves through the winter.
The Indians must DO given employ
ment or increase the rations, as they
cannot subsist without food obtained
from hunting until water is put on tho
reservation, when they will be prac-
tically self>supporting. Will request
you to wire mo what can state to the
Indians relative to increased rations or
employment should they remain on the
reservation"
1t Is practically certain that con,
tract for tho irrigation work recon-
mended by Agent letter will be made
within month by the government and
that the Indians will be given the work.
This will enable thom to earn a good
living for the coming winter. Arrange.
ments were almost completed some time
ago with the Idaho Canal Compan to
extend Its big ditch to the Indian lands
80 that they might be rendered fit for
cultivation but the contract was held
up under protesss from other irrigating
companies which wanted the contract.
