WAShINGTON Dec. 20.-General com-
plaint against the Issue of goverment ra-
tons to Indians Is mndo In the annual re-
ports of the agenls Lieutenant Mercer of
time La 1olnte. Vt'is . agency , ofcialy char-
ncterlzes the prctce as n most potent factor
In retarding the development of Inl1ans ,
amid Captain 1. II. hay of the Shoshone
agency \\'omlng sny : "Th y will never
become self-supportiumg ns long as time government -
mont gives ( heat . 1 semblanco- support ;
nelthel' can they begin to accumulate \ro/lrty /
, so long ns the supply ol the necessnrles of
: , life Is solely In the hands of time white
traderL"
Another factor In retarding development
complnlnell of by Captain day Is the domina-
ton of the chiefs who hav been allowed 10
dictate to the agents as to the Issues of i
annuites and the affairs of the agencies
i thereby osterlng and perpetuating the In-
Ilenco acquired In war. They have been
allowed to levy a tax on their own people
for arming all grazing privileges and have
I collected tribute from owners of tre8passiumg
stock the money being spent In feasting . nn ,
Idle and dissolute following. Time removal of
such troublesome chiefs Is reconmmended
The Shoshones are regarded n communists
who are loath to take up any untriEd pur-
suit Their agent recommends that time
raton issue except to time Indigent and hell-
less . be graduly discontinued and the money
now used for ralons bo devoted to payment
of Indian labor.
The international treaty regarding seal
huntng on the Nort Pacific and Dering sea
has work great hardship to the Indians
at the Neah Day agency In Wnshlngton.
These Indians can not agree upon a head
man or chief and ' consequently they are
divided among Ihemselves , Ihelr agent regarding -
garding the failure (0 select sOle one ns a
disadvantage to them. Considerable opposi-
ton to time work of the commission preparing
the lands on the luyalup reservation In
Washington for sale hos been shown by the
minority of these Indians but the faction Is
evidently influenced by havIng all restric-
tons removed and the Indians let unpro-
tected.
Progress made at the Puyalup agency In
Woslllngton Indicates that within n few
years these Indians will become supporting
and Independent of goverment aid Some
definite action Is urged upon the department
to restore to time Ynklmos their rights nt
their accustomed Isherlls on the Columbia
river In Wnshlnglon , the dispute over which
has resulted In considerable trouble. The
Yaklmns refuse to take allotments . but have
marked off a line which they claim ns their
reservation In common. They arc reported
to be In n desperate financial condition and In
great need of government assistance.
'Vimislcy " says Agent Erwin , "Is the grent-
est hlndranco to Indian prosperity. There
Is nn Immense trame In alcohol and vie
decoctona carried on with them and one
murder and three violent deaths during time
year are chargeable to these agents. "
