Show The friction Is becoming a little worse right along and I believe " the time has come when these Indians should be allotted in order that they may have a place they can call their own. . Practically all of that country is public domain and of course an Indian has the same right to - a- t- as the white people, but the young stockmen in that, country do'not look upon it in that light,~- but _ in the light that the Indian is a trespasser. About four years ago these Indians thought something of allotments and I took the matter up with your Office. The Indians reconsidered the matter. ; rj? hey were living peaceably and did not consider it necessary to push the matter and the question of^ allotments has been left in abeyance. A. few of them have taken out ditches from McKlmo Creek and have some irrigated lands which, should be protected. I therefore request that you direct Allotting Agent Simington ' to give this, matter atteatioQ. es soon as his other work will permit. Yrery respectfully, Superintendent. SITE- MAR |
