the Neah Bay agency Indians eke out an existence by fishing and little stock-raising and farming. The Col vile agency (3,4oo) is located in northeastern Washington. They have 2,soo,ooo acres, much of it good farming land.
 i In Nevada 600 or so Flutes around Pyramid lake get a living by fishing and by working for stockmen and farmers in the region round about. In northeastern Utah dwell 1,60O Utes, on, lands some of which are well adapted for farming and some for stock-raising. The Southern Ute agency is situated in southwestern Colorado and consists of 1000 In- dians. Their land is suited for cat tle-raising, and, where irrigation has been employed, has shown good re- suits in the way of crops.
 The NaEajos, makers of blankets, keepers of focks and herds, an indus trious, pastoral people, 10000 in num- Der, live in northeastern Arizona and northwestern New Mexico. In New Mexico the Mescalero Apaches also have lands on a good sheep range, and so have the Jicarilla Apaches. The Fort Apache agency (1,sOo) is situated in Arizona. Much of, the land is in need of irrigation; the people, though quite poor, are natur- ally energetic. The Mojaves live in the Colorado River agency, part of whose reservation lies in Arizona and part in California. Here again the matter of irrigation is a problem. The Mojaves are industrious, but inn provident.
 The Pueblos in New Mexico number about 5000. They own broad, rich acres, many focks and herds, are, and have been for long time, successful tillers of the soil. Their pottery and blankets, manufactured by them selves, show them possessors of no mean amount of skill. Other Pueblo Indians, about 2,50o, live on the Mol1i reservation, on three barren mesas. Where water is so precious as it is on these lands, there is bound to be quarrels sfor it's possession; and the Pueblos on the MoH have had fre- quent disputes with whites that have trespassed on the Indian water rights.
 The richest Indians in the world, the Osages, live in Oklahoma, occupy ing a reservation of 100000 acres. There are 1900 Osages. They are rich, but not nearly so progressive as some of their poor relations. In Oklahoma, the Sac and Fox agency shelters several tribes, about 5000 h. dians in all. Many of them are good agriculturists. The Kiowa agency, with headauarters at Anardarko, Oklahoma. is made up of four tribes; the Kiowas, Comanches, Apaches, and Wichatas. They own 3,75o,o0o acres; some very good farming land, some better suited for grazing pur- poses. The Cheyenne and Arapahoe agency, the old one located in Okla- homa, is made up of 2,000 Cheyennes and 1000 Arapahoes. Since the white settlers have poured into their coun- try, (unwanted, uninvited by the natives) on the whole the condition of these Indians has improved to a considerable; extent.
 In the Indian territory dwell the Five Civilized Tribes (7s,ooo); the Choctaws, Chickasaws, Creeks, Semi holes and Cherokees. There are many half-breeds in this agency, there having been much inter-marrying of Indians with whites and also with negroes. They occupy a large terri tory, ,4o,oo0 0y square miles,. a fertile land. ss ManY.of the Indians; haze Dros~
