COUNCIL. DECLARES FOR
ALLOTMENT OF LANDS
Each Head Of a Family Will Be
Rich in Acres Which He

Special to The Journal.

Special TO Tho journal. ""-s-
,, gSEt o %sts n ss P bbP g. Major 1p NJ:
faughlin, the indians Of this reserva-
ton decided almost unanimously that
they were ready to have their lands
allotted. Lo will be poor no longer.
Each head Of family will have GAO
acres an dali over 19 years 800 acres.
In addition they will get a span Of
good American mares, two cows, a wag.
other tools and $50 in cash. This was
provided for in the treaty Of 1868. All
under 10 will get 100 acres.
After the allotments have been made,
there will be a big surplus Of land.
The Indians are bitterly. opposed to sell,
ing this, and it is doubtful if it will
ever be sold with their consent: 1t
will be for the most part rough land,
as all the water rights and level land
will be taken by the Indians, who can
not dispose Of their holdings for twen-
ty-fve years.
Taking the value Of the property
mentioned above. with the amount eacn
ury, and his interest in the surplus
lands, it is safe to say each head of
q family will be worth 81 900 in addi-
ton to his $40 acres when Uncle Sam
relinquishes his guardianship and turns
these Indians over to the states OF
North and South Dakota as full-hedged
citizens.
Between, 1000 and 1900 voters will
be equally divided between the two
states, and good many will be voters
before the next presidential election.
If zPettigrew. was still! in politics, he
would get the solid Indian vote in
South Dakota, as he has the reputation
s smong them Of being consistent
The, question; Of leasing their lands
was also placed before the Indians by
Major Mclaughlin, but they decided
against it. After they had made their
decision, Mclaughlin told them that
the present commissioner would never
compel them to lease. His statement
a" 1n1t e Gf she eat ioune na ora
tori as he is called, has lost none Of
his oratorical powers. He recalled. the
many councils in, which he has been
chief spokesman, and begged the gov
people, as they were not yet ready to
manage their own affairs in competi-
ton with the whites. He graphically
compared the depraved and poverty
stricken condition of the Sisseton Sioux,
who have been at the mercy of the
porous condition Of his own people, who
have an agent to look after them. His
hearers fairly hung. on his words. 81,
y Major Mclaughlin, with wond erful
patience and tact, explained each CUES
tion as it was brought up by the In
sdians, and it took three days and most
of the nights for the Indians to make
up their minds to sign the memorial
asking the secretary to allot their
lands: The president will probably is
sue his proclamation some time this
summer. After noon of that day no
child born among the Indians can Sc
cure an allotment or participate in any
surplus-land distribution without a spe.
cial act Of congress. The allotting will
probably commence this fall or next
spring.
