Abstract
"They raised grain for food and seed so as to be above want except those who were just beginning, the sick, blind and very old ones that always need a little help. From the best accounts I can get they must have raised 10,000 bushels of wheat and corn, about 2,000 bushels of oats and 1,500 bushels of peas. Potatoes they raised all they could use and had a little surplus this spring after planting. Their fisheries, bordering upon and not far removed from the line of the reservation afford them an abundant supply of salmon. The mountains abound with game, deer, elk bear and mountain sheep, their valley, the central part of the reservation abounds with prairie chicken, grouse, ducks and geese."
