names of $50 people who want to leave
Grand Rapids, and already have four

ma products and palmed them off as the
fruits of WILDLY Island. Mr.. Mckinney
says Workman "has been poison for the
Yakima proposition" Regarding the
Hollanders he says "they are a very re-
liable people but awfully suspicious and
all we have to do is to get few OF them
started and in ten years the Yakima val.
ley will not hold them"

Opening the Yakima Reservati ON.
Commissioner OF Indian affairs Brown
ing gives the following information to
the Washington correspondent of the
Post Intelligencer:
Nothing can be done toward opening
the Yakima reservation until congress
shall have appointed a commission to 60
out there and treat with the Indians, Sc
curing their consent to take lands in sew
crafty and accept from the government a
sum in cash for the remainder OF the res
ervation, which can then be opened up
to settlement under the general home
stead law or in any other manner con-
gress may direct. Some of the Yskimas,
l understand, are well civilized at the
present time but there are what are
known as the wild Yakimas, who are
among the least civilized of any Indians
under the control of this department at
the present time. These Indians are not
at all anxious to surrender any of their
property to the government, fully realiz-
ing it's value and knowing that as civili-
cation closes in around them that every
acre is still further enhanced.
The Washington delegation in congress
will hold a conference and will act in
unity after having determined what it is
best to do in the way of immediate action
looking toward the ultimate opening OF
the reservation.
