A FRAUD CONTEMPLATED
‘ One of the most outrageous
examples of official robbery of
| the Indian estate,” exclaimed
I John Collier, of the American In
dian Defense Association, when
| the writer interviewed him in the
Southwest several months ago,
‘‘was shoved across early in 1925.
It was an act of Congress, sup
ported by the Bureau, which
stripped the Flathead Indians of
Montana of a power site worth
at least $50,000,000, a 500.000
horse-power site. The Indian
Bureau, I will repeat, supported
this act. No royalties were to be
granted to the Indians, no com
pensation was to be made them.
Afterward, however, this was
changed to read that 30 per cent
of the royalties were to go to the
Indians. The rest was to be util
jized to supply water and power
to white settlers. Eventually, in
1928, Congress rescinded its con
fiscatory action, which it had
taken under the misleading In
dian Bureau.”
At Yakima, in the State of
Washington, the writer of this
article heard from a spirited
white woman, now the wife of a
prosperous rancher but formerly
lease clerk at the Yakima Indian
agency, a clear, detailed account
of oppression and fraud in the
leasing of Indian lands to whites
in large quantities and at a low
figure, certain Indians being
compelled to acquiesce even
when they wished farm the land
themselves. In one case irrigat
ing water was denied an Indian
to force his consent. Other meth
ods were used.
This young woman’s frank dis
may at the conditions around her
was reported to the Indian Bu- j
reau. And she showed me a let
ter of stern rebuke which accus
ed her of putting her superiors
in an “embarrassing position.”
At the same time she was order- !
^d transferred to a reservation in
North Dakota. Instead she re
signed from the service. This
young woman is Mrs. Dollie F.
Woodhouse. As soon as they are
printed, obtain the Senate hear
ings and read her account in full.
At Yakima, too, I heard a piti
ful story of the “civilizing” of
one Yakima Indian. This ac
count was given to me by Lucul
lus V. McWhorter, lifelong stu
dent of the Indian problem. He
has written extensively on the
Yakimas and, although a white
man, enjoys their confidence.
“Louis Mann, a Yakima now
deceased,” he said, “had a 30
acre field of wheat, a truck patch I
and an old orchard to water. The
orchard was drying up; some of
the trees are actually dying. He
took me to his lateral head gate,
and I found it as he represented
it to me—under bolts and pad
locked, with a very meagre flow
of water under an extremely low
pressure. Not enough for 10 acres
of his wheat, let alone his truck
patch and orchard. Yet I not
iced that Louis had somehow
succeeded in maturing a good
crop! After dark that night he
demonstrated to me how this
feat was accomplished.
“Proceeding to the head gate
in question, with a wrench he
loosened the bolts, lifted the
board, permitting the water free
ingress from the main canal, and
then banked the canal with an
extra board, which filled his own
lateral to capacity. Next morn
ing, before daylight, I went with
him and saw him restore the
gates to their former state.
“When I protested, Louis de
• j dared to me with great bitter
ness:
“ ‘The Indian Bureau wants m<
I to become as a white man.. Yoi
; see—they are succeeding!
I children must not starve. I an
! supposed to provide for my fam
I ily. How else am I to do it bu
• turn thief, as I find most whit'
\' men do in dealing with us In
:♦ dians? They compel me to stea
;♦ | my own water, and I must do i
• * in darkness, while the whit
men below me, as you see, are
given all the water they want,
free from any lock. I am becom
ing civilized like —!’
‘‘When I called the reservation
reclamation engineer’s attention
to Louis’ plight, he said that
there was not enough water to
furnish him with more. I ask
ed why a lock had been placed
on his head gate, and the white
lien below him were having
free access to the canal. ‘We do
not have locks enough for all,”
was his stupid and heartless re
ply.”
To be continued
(Next week—“We Must Protect
Our Wards.”

CENSUS TAKERS—ANIMALS
The report of the Forester for
1929 says that in Alaska are 3,
135 beaver, 6,100 black bear, 2,500
grizzly, (including brown bear)
20 caribou, 60,350 deer, 10 elk,
550 moose, 9,500 mountain goat,
land 2,000 mountain sheep.
No wonder the forestry agents
are so busy when you want them.
Keep a nice force of foresters
busy counting noses of the goats
land sheep perambulating back of
Horne lift.
And how they counted the big
brown bear and grizzly popula
tion is a puzzle that this public
ation is not going to worry over.
Yes, the Forest Rangers have a
lot of work to do and they are
kept right busy doing it.
ASKS SIG APPROPRIATION
The U. S. Bureau of Fisheries
1 as asked Congress for $4/170,-j
('00 for a five-year construction
and maintenance program.
For a fishery laboratory in the:
State of Washington, O’Malley
asks $125,000.
For a fish laboratory in Alas
jkaka, $50,000.
i For producing a small part of'
the fisheries, Washington, Seat-!
i
.. - - - ■ - - - - -
tie, is to receive more than two
rimes as much as will Alaska.
WHY BIG APPROPRIATION?
It has been asked what will
the Bureau of Fisheries do with
four and a half million dollars
m five years? That is plain
enough. It will use a large por
tion of that fund to build up a
patronage system and for propo
ganda. Like the Indian Bureau
it costs more each year to cov
the defects and wrong ad
ministration of its affairs.
