Show Uinta Council, 26. you with the Department, but Congress a3 well. My friends, your holding the reservation as in the past is out of the question. As certainly as the sun rises to-morrow id is to be opened. How, the Secretary og the Interior, as a friend of the Indians, desires to have things made as easy for you as possible. How, it is your duty to listen to reason and to the arguments which I have presented. Remember that our talk must be with no hard feelings. We must have our discussion in a friendly manner. I make this explanation to you because I see your lalk ha3 been all along one line. Aa I said yesterd-sy, I do not want to hurry you. I want to give you ample time to consider, and I hope you will not close your ears to what I bring you from the Secretary, the Act of Congress which he is required to comply with and carry out. Red Cap. If you are telling us about this talk in Washington, let ma talk there in Washington about it. Inspector McLaughlin: This is my latter of Instructions from the Secretary of the Interior and tha Commissioner of Indian Affairs, ordering me to come out here. I read it to you yesterday. Bed Cap: That is all right. I want you to take me to Washington. I want to take Chepeta and Charley Gelota there too. Inspector McLaughlin: They are Uncompaghres and have nothing to do with this business. A delegation to Washington could not accomplish anything at this time, this being already an Act of Congress and a law. |
