Show 348 REPORTS OONCERNING INDIANS IN UTAH. The military post at Fort Duchesne, Utah, affords a good market for their farm products. Wood, coal, and a great deal of au plies have been sold to outadem at a 1 material profit. All hay, oats, wood, and eoaPneeded for agency or school purposes has been furnished by the Indians. Dunng the past year the following supplies aere furnished the War Department for the post at Fort Duchesna: Wood .............................................. cords.. 401 Hay, loose ........................................ pounds.. 300, 000 Hay, baled ......................................... .do.. .. 350,000 Straw, baled.. ....................................... do.. .. 180, WO Oats.. ............................................... do.. .. 110,000 Bationa and wages.-During the past year rations have been issued to the old and infirm and those Indians who were incapable of gaining their own subsistence; and, whereas in some instances the mount issued probably has been adequate in other instancesthere is no doubt but what Indians suffered more or less for suffiAient food during the winter months of the year. Indians were emplo ed frequently ta do work on the reservation and paid from the savingd made in a regction of the rations, and this policy is believed to be a most satisfactory one. These Indians seem to be capable of doing creditable work if employed as daily laborers. Schools.-Dunng the year the schools have progressed and have been carried on in a very eatisfactmy manner. There is more or less difficulty at the beginning of the school term to get the Indians to send or bring their children to school, and frequently it becomes necessary to send out parties for the purpose of collecting and bringin them in. It is believed, however, that by continued persistence both schools locate% op the reservation can make a creditable showing. Very respeetf~illy, C. G.
