the Indians, Congressman Hanna and
f. HI. Abbott, flrsr assistant commits
sioner Of Indian Affairs, with John
Francis, jr. director of the bureau of
Indian lands at Washington, went 90
the reservation. The Indians had OBJ
tected to the proposed opening and
asked for a conference with represen-
tatives Of the great father"
The government men found there the
pitiful remnants of what at one time
were three OF the most famous Indian
tribes that roamsd the prairies. of the
Dakotas, the sole survivors Of the once
powerful tribes of the Mandans, the
Gros Ventures and the Arikarees. OF
the thousands that once made up the
bands of these three tribes, there are
left only Lila.
In spite Of their small number and Of
the fact that they have lived together
for fifty years, each has maintained it's
tribal existence and it's separate and
distinct language.
A terrible epidemic Of smallpox
swept the three great tribes about Atty
years ago and almost annihilated them.
Their traditions OF this awful scourge
are still vivid. They fed from spot to
spot in their effort to get rid Of the
loathsome disease.
Following this they were compelled
to combine their forces to avoid be-
ing wiped out by the decree Sioux war
riors from the Red and Mississippi
river valleys. They have lived togeth
err ever since.
AlIotments Made.
The 965,000 acres which make up
their reservation is fenced SO that they
may keep stock without the danger of
its being stolen. They have been leas-
ing some of the reservation to white
men for grazing purposes, and they
realized last year between $4,000 and
$4,000 from this source.
Under terms made with them some
years ago the head of each family was
to have a special allotment of 100 acres
and every other man, woman and
child was to receive 80 acres. These
allotments have been steadily made for
three or four years and are now practi
cally complete 1t has taken some
100000 acres to make these alIotments.
Agreement Reached.
The conference with the Indians last
ed two days. Speeches were made by
Commissioner Abbott Congressman
Hanna, Major Francis and by the four
great chiefs Of the Indians. Follow
ing the speechmaldng the Indians held
big pow-wow and the whole matter
was threshed out among themselves.
The Indians finally appointed del9-
cation TO wait on the officials and tell
them what concessions they wanted
and what terms they would demand.
1t Is interesting to note that this
delegation was made UP almost wholly
of the younger Indians of the three
tribes. These young men knew just
exactly what they wanted They put
their demands in a clear and business
like way, and 1t was finally agreed to
open all of the lands north and east Of
the river except the portions to be
allotted to individual members Of the
tribes.

OF course the ocean is not as old as

the task, basing his estimate upon the
ratio Of the amount of sodium 1t con-

thus reaches the conclusion that the
