Show REPORT OF THE UTE COMMISSION. a garden patch, but hsve relied for their living upon the ohaae and the supplies fur-nished them by the government. They will not readily adapt themselves to their new condition and at once make suooesaful tillers of the nail. Undoubtedly s, small num-ber of the mare intelligent among them already realize, to a limited extent, the neces-sity for a change in their mode of life, and with some encouragement will make an effort to improve and cultivate the lands which may be designated far them. They will at best make slow progress, and their succesa will depend much upon theirneous-nities. If the care of the government is such as to enable them to live oomfortably without work, they will probably find it convenient in the future, asin the past, to live a life of erne md indolence. If, after their lands are surveyed and sbt apart to them, and they have been t a u ~ h ht ow to im~mv ean d onltivate them, and have been sua-plied wi2h the necessaryteams and impiemeuts, the government dvonld very o a ~ ~ t i o u d ~ and gradually wit,hhold a, portion of their &nunel supply of provisions, first giving them notice of their intention so to do, it would have s, wonde~fillys timulating effect in inducing them to make the necessary mental and physical effort to improve their lands and provide for their own fi~turen eoessities. At present they will have to be guided in every ptep, from the harnessing of their horses until the crops are gathered and cared for. Their advsnoement will depend moch upon the energy, patience, and perseverance of rhoir agenta, whose north and vahle as agents ahould be measwed largely by the progress which the Indians make iu agricultural pursuits while under t.,-h -a .i-r n- a--r e- . The lands immediately adjoining those designed for cultivation are not so desirable for pasrurage, and especially for summer grseing, aa we oonld desiro. It is practioslly impossible to find within the limits of the territory from which we were anthorized to make aelect,ious, any considerable quantity of good arable land imnlediately edjoin-ing lands desirable for munrner grazing without irrigation. The mesaaor table-lauds immediately back from the valleys afford excellent winter grazing, and further back in the foot-hills ant1 nlountains is an abundance of rich summer o.s~st uraee.
