Abstract
"In reply to the first and second part of the above I would say that the Palouse Indians were, as stated, parties to the Treaty with the Yakima Nation. Said treaty provides that 449 none of the parties thereto shall be required to abandon any improvements they may have made on the lands previously accepted by them to come upon the reservation till such improvements shall have been paid for, at a fair valuation to be fixed in a manner specified in the treaty. These Palouse Indians at the time of signing the treaty had made improvements of considerable value they were each engaged in cultivating a small tract of land, and as their improvements have never been purchased or any steps taken to ascertain their value, they have occupied them continuously since."
