The act of June %, 1910, requiring
the secretary of. the interior to as
certain the heirs OF deceased allot-
tees and their competency has great
" increased the work of the indian
office. Many allotments are now Of
twenty years standing, and through
difficulty in obtaining reliable testi-
mony questions of fact have become
hard to solve. During the year the
heirs of 500 deceased allottees have
been ascertained
Extension Of Leases.
The question OF the extent to which
leases OF allotments should be per-
mitted involves difficult questions.
Only for the relatively small class OF
allottees who are incapacitated for
farming or other work is leasing ad-
visible, During the year the sale OF
100000 acres was considered by the
Indian office. and 10000 acres were
sold for a total of almost so 500 600,
an average OF SIG an acre.
There are some Sl0,000.0G0 on de-
D0sit i'll banks throughout the coun-
try to the credit Of individual In
dians. but only subject to disburse-
ment under the supervision Of the IN
dian service. Ablebodied Indians
who can get work are not allowed TO
use their money for ordinary exl
penses, but are literally encouraged
to use it for building houses, buying
stock and farm implements and gen
orally improving taeir lands.
AS the outcome CT 207 suits involv-
ing towa lots fraudulently acquired
in the Creek nation $50 600 have been
recovered, together with ninety-four
lots worth about 100000. Twenty-Five
still are pending.

Health Activity.
sA The Indian service is earnestly en-
deavoring to improve living condi-
tons and to prevent disease amons
Rthe Indians. The urgent necessity
for the health propaganda is patent
from returns Of the physicians; they
y report 961 deaths from tuberculosis
under their notice, attendance upon
over 10000 cases o. tuberculosis, and
treatment Of 400 cases of trachoma,
a disease which tnree years age was
practically unrecognized.
NH In the past year ! AIS cases of per-
sons charged with selling liquor to-
indians. or introducing it into the
An ian country, were disposed Of
One thousand one hundred and sixty
eight convictions resulted, 265 dis
missals. six disagreements OF the
jury. and there were but thirty-four
acquittals Taere is steauiy in-
creasing tendency on the part of To-
cal authorities to assist the officers
OF the government in the work OF
suppressing this liquor traffic.
lndustrially the Indians are maxi
ing much progress, particularly IN
l farming. The commissioner reports
that during the year Indians farms
Ing for themselves had rader culti-
vation at least 100000 acres of land.
