common plains; to get their wood
from the common forests; to stack
their tents where they pleased; to
hunt or work and appropriate the CON-
mon reserve as freely as the fish use
the sea. This was their old time and
natural way Of doing things. It
violates every principle Of the rights
OF property and was corespondingly
conducive to savagery. 1t Is the
desire OF the Government to get them
entirely out Of this state and to make
them citizens.
One Of the means to this end is to
divide up the reservations that they
have held in common and to allot the
lands in severalty. That is, to give
each Indian homestead, mark it off
by distinct boundary lines, require him
to build house on it, teach him to
cultivate IL, and in various ways help
him along until he Is able to support
himself and his family upon it. OF
course the Indians have to be suffi-
Giently advanced to be willing to do this
before ii can be done with any degree
OF success. A portion Of land is allot-
Tea to every man. woman and child.

his own vine and fig tree is to build q
school house, equip II we'll, put good
conscientious teachers In charge OF IL,
require every Indian Of school age to
attend II, and thus push on the work
Of civilizing the Indians right in the
heart OF the reservation. The Indian
school question has for some years en-.
gagged more than any other the thought
Of those interested In Indian work.
And "the Schools to the Reservations"
was the policy Of the last administra-
ton, and will, I presume, remain the
policy Of the present administration.
The Fort Berthold reservation Is on
both sides Of the Missouri River in the
northern part Of North Dakota. It
contains about O million and quarter
acres and is as far from civilizations
haunts as any similar sized piece OF
ground outside Of Africa. The nearest
railroad train passes by nearly hun
dred miles away. The nearest tele-
graph instrument ticks at the same dis
lance. The agency employs q few
white men who have married squaws,
and missionary or two are the only
whites on the reservation.
There are three tribes on this yeser-
walton, the Gros Ventres, the Mandans
and the Arickarees. There Is SUBJ
tribe OF Gros Ventres known as the
band OF Grow Flies High. They long
ago cut loose from all other Indians.
They had to be brought with troops
from their mountain fastnessess down
to the reservation. They call them
selves "Hoshkis" (huskies), which
means "bad lands" They still refuse
to affiliate with any other tribe.
1t was to this unreconstructed band
that had to make allotments. Grow
Flies High had been deposed as chief
and Long Bull put in his place. Old
Crow now calls himself Chief Medicine
man. he still has great influence and
is said to use all Of ii for the bad.
The Indian chiefs are great sticklers
for dignity. Grow Flies High has o
superabundance. The first time his |
band came dowr TO have council |
with me he assumed marshalship Of
them although Long Bull, dressed in
full regimentals, was spokesman. They
halted their horses and wagons within
q few hundred yards Of my camp and
