Evidently Senator Dubois didn't
know as much as he thought he knew
when he made the statement before

land frauds in Idaho and that more
over he was in position if there were
any, to know about them. Represen.

himself been indicted for land frauds,
made the same statement regarding
his state.
When the Dawes Commission shall

2OOOO,OO0 acres of land, and valued
at perhaps hundreds of millions of
dollars, at cost of less than ten cents
an acre. More than 100000 adults or
heads OF families have been personally
examined since June %, 1898, and
their previous tribal record looked up,
and OF these about 10000 will be flu

was fine singing, good buck and wing
