Bations and wages.-Upon recommendation of the agent last year 25 per cent of the beef and flour contract was cut off, and the money so saved was used as wages for labor on roads, ditches, ete. This year an additional 25 per cent reduction in Uinta Agenc sup lim has been recommended. Behwla.-'I%e se!001s have pro eased and have greatly improved in the matter of attendance during the past year,yoth having more than double the enrollment and attendance of the year before. The umhdued attitude of the Utes and the ineffi-ciency of the Indian police at thls agency render t h ~ so ne of -the hardest of all reservations for getting children into school, and allowance should be made for this in comparing attendance at t h s schools with attendance where police service and other conditions are favorable to full attendance at school. Liquor tra5o.--Considerable trouble is experienced on account of saloons located on the "Strip," a portion of the reservation which has been cut off and leaeed to a mining company. Freighters and others passing through from the railmad to the white settlemenh an the other side of the reservatioh smuggle liquor in small battles and sell it to the Indians. Owing to the unwillingne88 of the Indians to testify it is p.ractieally impwible to obtain evidence enough to secure conviction for such viola-tlons of the law. Two Indians have died as a result of this illegal t d o doring the present summer. One was shot in sdrunken brawl, and the other died fmm an overdose of the vile coococti~nw hich was sold him under the name of whisk In conclusion, I most heartily thank your office for all kindness with which Phave been favored. Very respectfully, . W. A. Captain, Seventh Caualry, Acting United States Indian Agent. The C a m m o ~ s oar INDIGAm -.
