His report of July 30, 1905, shows that 1,526 allotments have been made, the number since the last annual report being 156. The work on this reservation should be closed during the present year. Special Allotting Agent Rankin reported on July 31,1905, that he had made 2,257 allotments, being 337 since the last annual report. He has also been engaged in making a schedule of allottees on the ceded part of the Crow Reservation who wish to remain where they are now and a schedule of those who elect to remove, with a schedule of their improvements. This extra work and the weather conditions have delayed progress on this reservation. Supt. 0. C. Edwards made the allotments to the Kickapw under the acts mentioned in the paragraph concerning the Potawatomi, ISD 19854 |
