Washington-..Want to
Name the Lessee.

Washington, Feb. 27.-David Zephyr,
of the Yankton agency. n of the best
known Indians In South Dakota, Is
here on business of his tribe.
A delegation of Sisseton Sioux are
here from the reservation in Roberts
county, trying to get the authorities
to let the Indians have something to
a about the leasing of their lands.
They do not complain SO much of the
price at which they are leased. though
considering that in some cases they are
too low, but they do object to the pro-
,cedure by which the agent leases an
Indians land without letting the Indian
determine to whom the lease shall be
msde. The Indians frequently have de-
icided preference, but their views. they
say, have absolutely no weight.
Then there IL a disagreement about
the allotment of tribal funds.
The Indian Office has declined to pay
to parents the prorate Of tribal income
apportioped 10 minor children, n the
parents wan 1t. The involved
Is q large sum. though representing
only the interest on the principal Of
the TRIBES credit with h government.
