PIUTE LANDS
AGENT CASSON WILL
DIVIDE THEM
Work of Completing Canals
Will Soon Be Under
Way

Special Allotment Agent " f Cas-
son, of the Indian Bureau, arrived iii
Fallon Thursday evening from Carson
City, and will be busted for the next
two or three weeks with taking relin.
quishments from members of the local
Piute tribe. According to Mr.. Caason,
each member of the tribe, irrespective
of age and sex will be given an allot.
ment of ten acres each, and as he has
figured the entire population entitled to
land at two hundred, it means that only
two thousand acres OF land will be Gov
cred by Indian rights, instead OF thirty
two thousand acres, which have been
withheld from all development for q
great many years, by reason of their
status.
With the completion OF Agent Cas-.
sons work, all lands, including the lands
to be held in the future by the Piutcs,
will be under the jurisdiction OF the
Reclamation department, which will
i'm miediately commence the work OF
building the immense canal and lateral
system, necessary for the irrigation OF
the tract to be thrown open. The land s
will likely be withheld from all settle
ment, until such time rs this construc-
ton work has been completed, but our
as regards this point ia not
definite, and filings may be accepted at
once.
The relinquishmenis Which the In
dians are required to sign, are condi-
tional upon the government furnishing
for all time to come n free water right
with each ten acre tract.
Just how much this new departure
means to this section, can only be guess
ed at, rs the lands to be opened are
among the very best in the whole pro-
iect.

AlQ. INDIAN SCHOOL
On2 Should Be Located in the
Vicinity of Fallon

While we are bending every effort to
establish schools for our children, we
forget the urgent need of like institu-
ton for the nearly one hundred Piute
children, who reside near Fallon. Tneir
parents have been considerable factor
in the development of this section, by
reason of their thrift. II the children
are to follow in their parents footsteps,
they must be educated BY teaching
them some idea of cleanliness, moral
and hygienic law and giving them in
struetiona in domestic science and the

can also their, power 10 resist disease
and its common cause--dissipation.
Scarcely n day passes, but we have n
fragrant example OF the Piute's thirst
for liquor, and the accompanying de-
moralization. Unless the tribe is check
ed, it can be n matter of but few years
more at the longest until the tribe will
be no more, for chief among the offend
ers are the young bucks and sqnaws,
who have shown a marked aptitude for
absorbing every vice teachable. True,
we have a school at Carson City, but if
We are to get results. We must try to get
established an institution nearer the
hunting grounds of their iorefathers,
and make school attendance compul-
sorry. Ii the local business interests
would take this up, and bring it to the
attention Of the proper authorities, the
Churchill Standard believes that it
would have the desired results.
With the completion OF Special Agent
Casson's work, the Indians will be ie-
quired TO reside Upon their ten acre al
lotments, in the reservation. Their
colony should be provided with schools
and other conveniences At the expense
of the department, until such time as
the Piute has absorbed the good ways
OF the paleiaee, and learned the meth
DDS necessary to build schools under
