INDIAN RENTS
MUST TUMBLE
Prices That Have Prevailed
Cannot Be Met BY
Farmers.

The leasing of Indian land IN +L,o
Nezperce Indian reservation will bo
commenced at the government AGENCY,
at Fort Lapwai next Monday.
n large per cent Of the leases IN all
sections of the reservation Will exn,ra
this year, and unless the Indians ran
be induced to make new leases at re
duced rates, it is quite probable that
some Of the land will lie idle for the
ensuing year.
The condition is due to several
causes, among which are the increased
expenses in all departments of farm
ing and the fact that the Indian land
is becoming foul and has been cropped
so steadily that yields are much less
than a few years ago.
The Indian has been a persistent
booster of rent prices, and for several
years has been quite successful in
arousing a rivalry among farmers for
his land, which has resulted in active
bidding for the leases and a material
advance in the rental charges.
Reports received from all parts of
the reservation indicate a general
awakening among the farmers, after
which an understanding seems to have
been reached by which Indian rents
must drop or the land remain unculti-
waited.
