Indians to Man.
age Own Affairs
Federal Commission Holds Hear
ings at Ahsahka to Find
Capable Tribe Members.

A federal commission composed
OF D. E. Smith of the department
of the interior; Charles e. Coe Of
the Indian field service, and J. H.
Rogers. the local Indian agent, CON
Quoted hearings at Ahsahka Tues
day and Wednesday of This week, to
determine whether the Nez Perce
Indians at that place will be able to
manage their own affairs upon the
expiration of the 25 year govern
ment trust period next summer
The result of the heraing, it Is
reported, will culminare In placing
the affairs of about SO per cent
of the tribe under their individual
management, throwing their hold
ings open to taxation in 1921, and
giving them deeds to the land pos
sessed by them.
1t was learned at the hearing
that the older members or the tribe
who have not had much opportun-
ity for education, and the younger
children, are not capable of man
aging their personal affairs and
they and their holdings will CON
tinue under an extended agreement
with the government However,
the middle-aged Indians who have
had and taken advantage of a Ger
tain degree of modern edcuation
and business affairs, will be thrown
from under the government protec-
ton and placed upon their own re-
sources next year This number is
estimated at about so per cent of
the tribe. Other hearings held at
Lapwai, Kamiah and kooskia are
said to have resulted in the same
findings
The NeZ Perce Indians under the
25-year agreement were allotted the
lands. upon which they were left
to shift for themselves, having the
government Indian agencies to ad-
just and settle their troubles and
grievances. The lands were not
subject to taxation and the mem
bers of the tribe received no allot-
ment in money from the govern
ment. 1t is understood that there
is some timber which is common
possession of the the tribe, which
will be sold and the proceeds divid-
ed among the members. It is gen
orally believed locally that this turn
in events will be a decided benerit
to the Indians. 1t will add consid-
erably to the wealth and resources
of the counties in which the In
dians are situated and give the
members of the tribe the prestige
and advantages that are natural
result of free individual enterprise.
The 25-year trust period began
at the time of the allotment OF In
dian lands in 1895. During this
period the affairs of the Indians in
Nez Perce, Idaho. Lewis and Clear
water counties have been in charge
