TO OPEN RESERVE.

the Examiner by Congressman u.
G. Dill, representing this Fifth
district in congress:
July l, 1916, is the date set by
Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of
the Interior, for opening the
south half of the Colville Indian
reservation. He has decided
also that no further legislation
regarding the reservation is
necessary.
This action was taken a few
days ago after a two hour confer
ence with Senators Jones, Poindex-
ter and myself. Cato Sells, the In
dian commissioner, and Superin-
tendent J. M. johnson of Nespe-
lem were also at the conference.
They insisted upon certain legis-
lation which they have been franz
ing for the past month. This
legislation would have kept one
half of the present reservation
permanently closed as an Indian
grazing reserve.
Both Sells and johnson main
tanned there is very little valu-
able agricultural land in the reser-
vation not allotted to the Indians.
This disputed most emphatical-
ly and the PERSONAL information I
had secured by horseback trips
over the land and various trips
to points on the borders of the
reservation last summer and fall,
enabled me to meet these conten-
tions effectively. If I had not
been on the reservation in person
repeatedly, my statements would
have been mere hearsay.
Both Senator Jones and SEN
aor Poindexter pointed out that
if the unallotted land is worthless
for homes, the white man will
never patent it, so that this land
would still belong to the Indians.
We all insisted that the policy
concerning these lands had al
ready been settled by congress.
After the fullest discussion Sec
retary Lane decided to open the
lands July l. 1t may be asked
now, why was the plan to create
a great Indian grazing reserve
abandoned? There are a number
of reasons:
First, public opinion in the
northwest demanding the opening
# the reservation, which was
given such full publicity by the
local newspapers during the past
few months. When I came to
Washington Nov. l, found both
Secretary Lanes and Commits
sioner Sells offices aware of this
publicity and fully informed as
to the agitation which had been
carried on. I understand they
had the clippings on file.
Second, my interview with the
president and the repeated con-
ferences with Mr.. Lane and his
assistants, demanding that the
reservation be opened.
Third, the resolution introduced
in the senate by Senator Poindex-
ter the second day of the session
calling upon Secretary Lane for
an explanation Of the delay. This
resolution caused the immediate
calling of the conference which
resulted in the decision to open
the reservation. Had this not
been done, the senator in the
senate and myself in the house
were prepared to place the whole
situation before those bodies. In
addition to this l had just been
assigned to the Indian committee
of the house and was in a position
to fight any legislation whatso-
ever making the unallotted lands
a permanent Indian reserve.
All members of the Washington
delegation are delighted over the
results now assured and believe
the opening will be great bene'
fit to northeastern Washington.
The magnitude of the result

ment, commend him TO his con-
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1915-12-18

paign was partly made on the
| question of reservation opening.
Before he went to Washington he
rode horseback and travelled ON
foot and covered quite thorough
ly the land in question. He had
documents and statistics and
references galore which he had
accumulated for more than a year.
He started early to Washington.
He worked there a month before
congress convened. He talked to
the Indian commissioner; he went
higher, to Secretary Lane; he had
an interview with the president
and secured the presidents per-
sonal promise to investigate the
matter of opening; he applied for
membership on all the committees
which had to do with this class
of legislation-and was appointed
on them.
When congress convened, he
had everything in hand. With
the backing of the other congress
men from this state, he met in
two-hour conference with the In
dian office, and his own expert
ence and his special knowledge
and his accumulated fund of in
formation won the day. He was
a lone democratic congressman
from four northwest states, the
second youngest member in the
house, yet he led all new members
on committee appointments and
landed the reservation opening
| His party couldn't afford to re-
ject his demand He succeeded
where all previous congressman
from this state had failed.
Eastern papers have picked up
his victory and have given col
umns to his actions, even going
into his early life, and bringing
him into the light of a noted
character.
The people of the Fifth dis
| trict should begin to comprehend
what the Colville opening means.
When the Spokane reservation
was opened, only IA homesteads
were taken in the first six months,
yet there were 10000 applica-
tions made by prospective settlers.
The Colville reservation has a
million acres, the largest reserva-
ton yet unopened. 1t has all de-
grees of climate, soil, and posi-
bilities. The rancher, the or
chardist, the farmer, the stock
grower, the timberman, the miner
all can find homes and lands
for their particular avocations.
Imagine if you can the hundreds
of thousands who will register or
try to gain homes on this great
reservation. 1t means the up
building of this great northeast
Washington. 1t means new towns,
new industries, new markets, new
fields of activity.
The Colville reservation will be
opened. After years of unsuc-
cessful effort by congressman
from this state, something hap
pened in the national capital, and
the Indian Office was overruled by
the secretary Of the interior.
The Fifth district has finally
| found out how to get things.
The Spokesman-Review says
regarding Senator Poindexter's
effort to help in the reservation
opening: "It is regrettable that
Senator Poindexter had not soon
er got his guns into operation.
Methods of character with those
used in this case by procrastin-
ating officials serve to bring the
government into disfavor and
provide material for the enemies
of national conservation. With
reasonable celerity this reservation
should have been opened seven or
eight years ago.

| yantion will ha held in ST. IOuis
