(From a Staff Corrrypondent 1 WASHINGTON.-Nov. 12.-(Special Tele gram.) Commissioner of Indian Affairs I'iipp was shown a special to The Pee fr.-im Sheridan, Wyo.. that a solution of the OITi eulty whirl) has arisen between the White River I'tcs and 'he government could bT.' He solved by the purchase of lo-ids In the Powder river valley and give U to them In lieu of lands which arte allotted to them In the I'intah Indian reservation- In t'tah. It Is represented the Powder river valley Is sparsely settled and those- who have ae. quired homesteads there could be Induced to sell thi-Jr holdings at a nominal figure. It Is said the Vtc covet this I"pwder river valley because over It roams considerable game, and as they tiro not tin agricultural tvlbe, but hunt raft, and will not be. conb.-nt to return to the peaceful pursuits of gii culture on lands allotted to them In tiie ITIntah reserve. Tin y appear to desire to get a. fax awn from the nbtsfle of the whltu man as possible and g.iln their livelihood by roaming about, huntln and fishing. "This proposition," said Commissioner Iupp, "does not appeal to me. The policy of the government In administering to the welfare of the Indian Is to turn his mind away from the pursuit of game for a living and Induce him to ietts down to the culti vation of the soil and attempt to make him a self-supporting farmer. rather than a trapper or hunter. Of 'course, the proposi tion to purchase lands In the Powder river valley and i-rmite there a reservation for the discontented While River I'tes has not r . i k li . . . r , i - .r h.h - fact. I hntrdof It first hand through the clipping from Tho Bee I do not know how the president may take to the suggestion lieen brought to my attention officially. In which it Is aaJd the chiefs will make to be permitted to exchange their present allott ments for a reservation In tho Powder river valley. I may not be consulted about the matter, but if 1 am, from uch light as t have at present regarding the situation. I would be Inclined to oppose. If every time a discontented band of Indians were given new locations we would be In hot water continuously. Those of the l"tc who havo accepted their allottments on 'the ITIntah reservation and buckled down to tilling the soil are prospering, but those who refuse to give up the chas are veryapt to find there will be very liitle In the tepee slew kettle."
