PRESS CLAIMS

WASHINGTON Feb 23.-The West.
ern Shoshone Indians, in the northern
part of Nevada and a small part of
Idaho, are desirous of enlarging their
agricultural opertions, completing the
fencing of their lands, and building
a reservoir on the Owyhee river for ir-
rigation. They have sent to Wash
ington to present their case to
congress, two young Indians educated
at Carlisle, and possessing intellectual
attainments of creditable character,
Thomas Premo and Fitz Hugh Lee
Smith. The Shoshones do not adopt
the picturesque names common to the
Sioux and many other tribes.
On reaching Washington. Premo and
Smith called on Senator Newlands and
through him met Senator Pittman.
They also called twice on the COM
missioner of Indian affairs and asked
him to make recommendation to the
Indian committee of the senate in ac-
cordance with the wishes of the tribe.
Their land they say, is rather poor
and eighty acres is not too much for
an allotment but forty acres being al
lowed at present. About one-third Of
their lands are fenced. and when they
lease grazing privileges 1t is common
for many more head of stock than are
paid for to be run on the lands. For
this reason they wish to use some Of
the $21, 900 to their credit in the treas
ury for fencing the remainder Of their
lands.
When in Carlisle Smith played the
clarinet In the college band and he is
now o member of the reservation band
OF twelve pieces. This band could be
increased in size u there were more
instruments.
There is little hunting on the res
ervation, sage hens being the only
game available. AS the reservation Is
more than 100 miles from railroad,
Smith and Premo had to ride that dist
ance on horseback, making It in two
days. They may remain in Washing
ton for some days. Through the court
esy Of Senator Newlands they have
had the pleasure OF listening, from the
reserved gallery OF the senate, TO n
speech by Senator owen, who is proud
OF the Indian blood in HIS veins.
