Washington. There are strong intima.
tions. backed by evidence on Ole, 10
show that several agents are ID coiIu
sion with the spectators, and are In.
ducing heirs TO sell at ridiculously low
figures.
Commissioner Jones advocates the
advertising OF all lands belonging 10
decreased all0ttees, the tracts to go 10
tho highest bidders, but congress must
first sanction this plan. There are in
oregon 476, 900 acres OF SLOTTED lands,
$4,000 acres in Washington, aud
$4,000 in Idaho, a large portion OF
which belongs to the heirs Of the orig.
inal allcttees, now dead. About

are at Klamath, 10000 at Warm
Springs, " 900 at Umatilla and 80, 900
at Grand Ronde, with the remainder at
Siletz.
Commissioner Jones says these lands
are very tempting to spectators, and
unless some remedy is soon devised
the Northwestern Indians will be
swindled out Of valuable possessions.
No complaints have yet been had from
that section, but are expected.
The most desirable lands In Wash.

1900 acres at Puyallup and 21l 900
