cession of Land Upon Which
to Settle a Colony.

Mormon agent, is here for the purpose
Of securing from the government con-
cession for settling 1000 Mormons in So

Indians have been driven. Mr.. Cannon
says:
I'VE believe that if suitable tracts of
lands are placed at our disposal in the
Yaqui country we will do much in this
country in the interest of peace, for the
Mormon church has faced the Indian
problem almost since it's organization.
1--WE require no rifles in our manage
ment of the red brother and are always
instilling into his mind that We are his
friends and not his foes.
IF the concession is obtained, COM
missioner will be sent at once into the
Yaqui territory by the Mormon church
for the purpose Of ascertaining the atti-
tude of the Indians, and If peaceful. a
contract will be made and lands pur-
chased from the YaQuis."

strange that property owners. Who have
vacant lots do not erect few up-to-date
fats, terraces or cottages.

be willing to put bond to anyone going
to this expense to keep certain number
of modern buildings of this kind supplied
