Chicago. June 16.-Federal offic-
ials have undertaken the task of con-
verting the Indian from his present
life of roaming nomad. who pitches
his tent almost where he will. and
to induce him to become tiller of
the soil, whose home is on limited
area of well irrigated, fertile land.
In order to accomplish this the
United States reclamation service is
cooperating with the Indian service
for the purpose of reclaiming as
much as possible of the arid land now
occupied by the red men,
After the Indians are provided for,
the division of the surplus of their
lands will leave plenty for the set
tiers who are always ready to build
homes in new localities.
This affords the homeseeker a rare
opportunity, for the Indians have
held some of the best land in the
Wes-.
A plan to irrigate portion of the
reservation of the Blackfeet Indians
in Montana has already been approv-
ed.
Other projects under consideration
incl,rae parts of the Couer d'Alene in
Idaho, the Colville in Washington,
the Flathead in Montana Fork Peak
in Montana. Lemhi in Idaho. Rose
bud in South Dakota and Yakima in
Washington.
The entire Blackfest reservation
contains 100000 acres, which will
probably be thrown open for settle
ment during the present year under
the homestead, mineral and town
site laws.
In the Coeur 'Alene reservation,
Idaho. there are 10000 acres that
are to be thrown open to settlers,
but it is doubtful If the opening Will
take place this year.

are so hungry that they have
