IN charge of the reservation il was not
made plain whether the whites or the
Indians We're to blame for the alleged
trouble, and on January II, 1893 he was
instructed by the office to try to persuade
the Indians to return to their reservation,
or to settle down somewhere else ana
take lands under the fourth section OF
the allotment act. He was told to make
it clear to them that white men who
wandered about with no fixed place of
residence and no definite way of making
a living were arrested and confined. and
that. though the Washington government
would regret very much to see them treat
ed in such manner, if they continued
their depredatons the President would
be obliged to send soldiers to remove
and punish them. These Indians could
not be induced to work, contemptuously

territory. and these, intermarryins with
the Indians became leaders and caused a
great deal of trouble, it is claimed. When
the Indian territory was included in the
state of Oklahoma naturally the Indian
residents became amenable to the laws of
that state, when they began to clamor
for the right to be governed by the gov
eminent. But they had by their own
act been released from the restrictions
under which the other Indians are placed,
not even Congress had the power to re-
establish the old conditions. There is a
strict account kept, however, of the trans
actions involving all lands and estates OF
minor allottees. and no full-blood Indian
may have his restrictions removed with
out showing proper proof of competency
to manage his own estate.
That the lands occupied by the Indian
reservations are valuable is proved by
the fact that the Oklahoma oil fields
alone pay them handsome royalties on
the output of oil and gas. There are 1,7Oo
producing oil wells within the territory
of Glenn Pool covering an area of only
four miles, and the income to the In
dams is from 1000 to $4,000 per month.
This is only one OF the many sources of
income from gas, oil and various min
erals.
There is now under consideration in
the office Of Indian affairs the application
for patent in fee of half-breed woman
living on an allotment in California. Her
allotment is situated in the redwood dis
trict and the eighty acres of land
is estimated to be worth $4,000. The sup
position is that she wants Il title to the
land so that she may be entitled to sell
it, or the timber thereon. In that vicinity
the timber value of a given piece of land
is practically it's only worth in the eyes
of the owners. The forests of the reser-
vatons are estimated to be worth S24,-
900. 900, Goo Though this fact is practically
lost upon the present generation OF the
tribes there is no doubt that with the
advantages of education and training, as
well of observation of the methods of
the white men with whom they
brought in contact, the coming genera
tons will profit greatly by this ever
growing wealth. The woman above mem
toned is young and well educated and
seemingly competent 10 administer her
own property, and there is little doubt
that she will obtain her patent and make
good use of her land production of timber.
The Usage tribe OF Indians is said to
be the richest in America. They
occupy the mort hwestern corner of the
Oklahoma reservation, and their wealth is
the result of industry and thrift. On

April II. 1908. when the Secretary of the
Interior approved the tribal rolls con-
tanning 2,25O names. there was one name.
that of a woman, not entitled to allot-
ment. This was woman who had lived
most all OF her life among the Usage
Indians. and she was enrolled for an
nuities only.
That the Indians of some sections still
adhere to their old migratory habits is
proven by the fact that the government
has quite a time persuading them to
main on their own land. Several years
ago a party of Ute Indians left the
Southern Ute reservation i'm Colorado
and went into San Juan county, Utah,
where they are accused of having caused
great damage and annoyance to the citi-
zens by stealing property. killing stock
and putting women and children In fear.
Upon investigation by the superintendent

This places in the mind Of the Indian
the spirit of industry and ambition. 1t
is considered of as much moment as
the teaching Of the younger generations
to read, write and figure, thus equipping
them to protect his interests when they
also go out to earn their living Children
in the Indian schools are taught domestic
science, together with the practice of
economy and thrift. They are given lit

and each tribe eXceIs in some branch of

According to the opinion expressed at
the Indian office, these Indians are no
further advanced in civilization than the
others who do not come under the title.
There are extra laws governing the Five
Tribes-the Chickasaws, Choctaws, Greeks,
Cherokees and Seminoles. For the past
hundred years they, being considered
more enlightened than others of the race,
have written their own laws and gov
erned themselves in all except criminaF
cases. Because of this fact there was

is an educated man, who has done good
work among the Indians. his duty con
sisting mainly in procuring them en-
ployment and good wages for all who
are willing to leave the reservations
and stay. even temporarily. among
white people. 1t Is contended that
the advantages gained by the Indian
who embraces such opportunities are
not confined to the pecuniary profits.
but he is also benefited by coming into
contact with the spirit of thrift and
energy displayed by his white brother.
and thus acquires a knowledge OF
methods quite impossible to learn while
with his own people.
In the fall of 1907, according to Mr..
Dagenett's report. there were only sixty
Pueblo Indians sent to the Colorado beet
fields. and their earnings amounted to
about $1,000 The next spring 100 were
sent, whose earnings were "a, 500.
Land leases have also been granted to
the whites. the latter paying the Indians
who raise the vegetables so much per ton
for the beet crops delivered at the fac
tory. This was tried as an experiment,
and was proven to be very successful,
the Indians showing much aptitude. and
industry.
