The board Of directors of the Lewis

first time inspect the new buildings of
the institution this afternoon. The
two nonresident members of the board
are in the city, and the annual meeting
Of the board will be held today.

members of the board. The resident
members are Frank Kettenbach. c. A.
Foresman, president; DIR. c. w. Shaft
and G. F.. Crum. Mr.. Crum is absent
from the city.
1t is the plan of the board of directors
to inspect the school during an active
working period. They have found
from past experience that the opening
of school and commencement time are
both bad time for their inspection. as
in either case they do not get to see
the actual working of the school.
The Lewiston Normal school is now
building a 100000 annex. The board
as a body has never inspected the
construction or the plans. They will
look over the grounds this afternoon
and satisfy themselves that everything
is in accord with their requirements.

But there is nothing In being

suggested to him.
The white men do not do It for
nothing" was his knowing reply.
Want All Their Money.
The Indians who have heirship land.
and that includes large portion Of
them, will register vigorous COM
plant According to the terms of the
treaty the Indian can not sell his own
allotment Of land. But If an Indian
owning land dies his allotment can be
sold to the highest. bidder and the
money goes to the heirs. The gov
ernment in order to protect the In
dians against the lavish and unwise
expenditure Of the money so received
have made rule that the money can
only be paid to them at the rate Of
$40 per month. This they ragard as
an unfair ruling. as some one else is
getting the use of their money and
they want it themselves.
Lay Claim to Back Money.
Last but not least is the claim of the
Indians for money not yet paid accord
ing to the treaty. For several years
leaders of the tribe have been telling
the redskins of back money due their
tribe. Several have managed to work
the Indians to give them trip to
Washington for the purpose of present.
ing the claims of the Indians before
the departments.
Silas Whitman. we'll educated In
dian, and one who has the welfare of
his tribe at heart has made a discov-
aired before them. In looking over
the old settlements with the Indians
Whitman says he has discovered that
the treaty called for a payment oi
81 e6S. .322 for the surplus lands giver
to the government by the Indians fol
the purpose of settlement. It aVo pro-
vides that for one tract of land between
North LapWai and Sualding the gov
ernment was to pay 100000. Mr.. Whit
man in his tracing of the records car
! find that the 81 66SS22 was paid. bu
| that the $4,000 was included in tha
amount. instead of being added to th'
same. He will present this matter Il

A council Of the braves IL to be held
At Lapwai Thursday. Redskin warriors
rom every corner Of the Nex Perce
reservation vii lassemble to talk over
4 number Of grievances they have
AGAINST Uncle Sam. The council will
probably last for wIek or two and
the leading Indians Of the tribe will
be in attendance.
Their grievances are many. In the
day when the savage was ruler su-
preme Of the western country. far less
complaint would have called for the
donning Of the warpaint and the seizing
Of the hatchet. Their only inclination
now is to present the matter fairly to
Uncle Sam, and they say they feel as
sured they will have their wrongs
righted.
Want Treaty Respected.
One Of their main troubles is the
fact that their treaty has been de-
clared of no force, by decision of the
supreme court on the question of sell
ing liquor within the bounds Of the
20
reservation.
Our treaty." said we'll known In
dian yesterday, says that the white
man shall not bring his liquors among
our people, OF course there are two
classes Of our people. the same as any
other kind of people. Some Of them
want whiskey and some do not. The
majority Of them would much rather
1t was not sold to any Of the Nez
Perces. However it is not so much
the bringing of whiskey to the reserv-
alton that troubles us. but if that part
Of our treaty will not stand. will any
Of it stand We want to know if the
government Is going to live up to the
treaty made with our tribe. or if this
is the first step toward ignoring the
treaty altogether"
Guardians Not Wanted.
Another ruling which has brought
havoc among the Indians is the order
of the government that the parent can
not rent the child's land and collect
for it. Many OF the old chiefs of the
tribe have in charge several thousand
acres of land. Each one has a host
OF children and has been allowed to
control all Of the land owned by his
family
According to the recent ruling every
child must have a guardian, and the
guardian must have charge of the
cbld's business. In most cases the
parent cannot be the child's guardian
as bond is required and the parents
cannot furnish the bond While the
indians admit that it nice thing for
their children to have their property
protected for them until they are OF
age, they declare that the method used
