pLUTE LEADER tai Ks

w. T. Roberts, a leading member
Of the Piute tribe, with headquart-
ers at Pyramid reservation, was a
caller at the Eagle office this week.
He is preparing to leave for Wash
ington to consult with the Com
missioner of Indian Affairs on mat
tiers relating to the interests of his
tribe. s
Among the grievances which Billy
proposes to lay before the officials
at Washington is the allotment of
40 acres of land to the head of each
family. This he says, was promised
to his father when he was a little
boy; his father is gone to the happy
hunting ground and he himself lis
we'll on the road and still the land
allotment have never been made.
He claims they were promise d
$4,000 for the right of way for the
Fernley7Lassen road but it has not
been paid. They want the govern
ment to put in q concrete dam in
place of the old brush and drift
dam on the Truckee river near the
reservation and to widen the ditch
so the for mers on the west side of
Pyramid, Lake can get more water.
The government builds the Derby
dam and Lahontan dam and takes
all our land and gives it to. the
white people hut don't give dam
for ns, said Billy.
The Indians raised the money to
send Billy to Washington to plead
their cause.
When asked if he expected to
take part in the inaugural parade,
Billy said he did not that he was in
a hurry and would come back as
soon as he got through with the
business he had on hand.-Fallon
