Show o; 5. • •' I think it will bs apparent from the foregoing recital that no local man should ever be put in charge of these Indians. Men who know the real situation I faal will all agree that a Utah man should not ba assigned there. It will also be apparent that Yoy 7 w^° averois-Yput in charge should be given a permanent status. This featureYwas- specially mentioned by Mr. Holcombe, and embraced A in the report of himself and Inspector McLaughlin, and I fully concur. It has bean a handicap to Supervisor,that he was.merely a supervisor in charge and not a regularly designated agent or superintendent. Tha Office should station soma one thare regularly and let it be known he was thaw^for kaap3". Tha employae3 should ba made to understand they mu3t serve loyally or ba 3ant elsehwere. To explain some of the incident3 cone waning which complaint is-mada I will say: While in charge I found it hacasaary to limit dancing, particularly at tha school. I do not onject to dancing per 33, but I found it practiced to great 3x0333 thare. I prohibited ba33 ball on Sunday at Fort Duchesne, not that I object to tha game, for I am really a lover of it, but if permitted tha grounds would bacoma a public place on Sunday for all classes, hence I prohibited it. 1 think Supervisor Martin did likewise in each case. But at- Fort '-. ',-. yiyh*~7^-l Duchasna some of tha people nera carrying dancing to excess, as he thought, particularly in that it was causing the school and agency employees to be going.back and forth, 14 milss, may ba at night, and such could not but interfere with their services.. As I understood when on the grounds Supervisor Dakar attempted to dafine himself as not amenable to the rule, henca the troub<£2 between him and Suoarvi3or Martin. |
