INDIAN TRIBES
DEMAND ACTION
Renewal of Suggestion That
Another Territory Be
Founded.
CONSOLIDATION IS DESIRED
Think Maintenance Of Larger Com
muniries Would Be Beneficial to
Them.

The suggestion that another Indian
Territory should be founded for Indian
tribes or bands now scattered about
some sixty reservations all over the
country has recently been renewed. The
experiment OF the first Indian Territory
was an utter failure. and Commissioner
Leupp declares the lesson will not be
forgotten. Yet the Indians themselves
in many cases desire more consolidation
OF their interests ana numbers.
The troubles with the Utss OF Nevada
illustrate this situation. These Indians
had their lands parceled in severalty
and their reserve opened a year ago.
The White River band objected 10 the
end. Being oveTruled they objected to
their allotments and have been making
trouble ever since. They received eighty
acres per capita besides common rights
70 a great area of grazing lands. Now
they want to be moved away to Pine
Ridge reservation. South Dakota, and
in fact. having been denied that privilege
by the department. they did actually
bundle up their possessions. load their
wives and children on carts and start
across the country 20 Pine Ridge.
" armed that they would not be per
mitted 20 go there. they withdrew for a
pow WOW and consultation. the con-
clusiOu OF which is not yet announced
10 the Indian office here.
These Ites are not related 70 Ae
stoux at Pine Ridge, but the tribes have
visited back and forth. as the Indians
all over the country do very eNJeA-
siVely.
The Indian is slowly being absorbed
into the general mass OF population
said Commissioner Leupp. The Gov
tTumeut counts about 10000 Of them as
its wards. The number is increasing
very slowly; about = per cent TO the
deceuuiaI period But this IS accom-
p.ished only by the mingling Of white
and Indian blood the proportion OF IN
dian blood grows smaller and smaller
generation by generation. and at last
