Parentheticals added by Relander."...The last and most important conference of the Indian commissioners and the fourteen consolidated tribes of red men who are generically known as the Yakimas was held on Tuesday and Wednesday.... Under allotments already made and those which will be made before a settlement is reached the commissioners figure on providing about 2,000 Indians with 200,000 acres of land. The balance of the 800,000 the government deems best should be open to settlement.... In recompense the Indians, it is agreed that they shall be paid $1,400,000 (not much more than timber sales one year now from the reservation, which amount to only $125 per year in per capita payments)...the cash payments to the Indians will be about $700 to every man, woman and child...(slightly more than the high per capita reached one year from the revenues of this same land, 50 years later!)"NO KNOWN COPYRIGHT The organization that has made the Item available reasonably believes that the Item is not restricted by copyright or related rights, but a conclusive determination could not be made.
