INDIANS DON'T LIKE
AGENT MAJOR MORGAN

The Flathead. Pend Oreille and
Kootenai TRIBES of Indians of the
Flathead Indian reservation are
holding a council at St. Ignatius,
which will terminate Sunday. The
council was called by the chiefs of
the tribes for taking steps to induce
the national government to distrib-
ute per capita among the Indians
the accumulated funds in the Indian
department. from the sale of town
sites on the reservation and the sale
of government lands to the home
steadeTs. The aA1e OF townsitee
amounts to $s8. 500. and the pro-
ceeds from the sale OF government
lands up to date run up into the
hundreds of thousands. So TAI
there has been no distribution OF
the funds.
The Indians also claim to have
a grievance over the method of rem
tai of their lands, which comes un-
der the supervision of Major Morgan
Indian agent at Jocko. Dissatisfac-
item has developed so strongly that
petition addressed to President
Taft and the chief of the Indian de-
partment. asking for the appoint
ment of another agent to succeed
Major Morgan. was signed by several
hundred Indians in attendance of the
council.
