The trails are now so narrow e^nd so chewed with brush that they ara no longer of service and would be worthless in chockinp a fire frow any direction. Fire as you know is the one outstanding nenace and dread of the settleoents in San Crerinono Valley. The season of fire danger having now arrived, it is our earnest hope that you will have the trails cleared and broadened at the earliest practicable date. .1- I 1 ft ! er June 23, 1925 LT Lerrick Ureag^ San Francisco , Ualif. ivv dear li^r Grea;":'h: jinclosed are t^e promised papers.

Zenaida was do\Yn at the Ulub helping decorate it for coming festivities. iiilizabeth and i were reading in the big roo^' liPid cnjojing t' e fire in the fireplace. \ie heard a noise and 1 went out on t'-.e pcrc*^. to see w^at was up. iiut i did'nt hare to look, for as i opened the door the whole forest was illumirated by a territle lire and flames were scooting up way above t" e tops oi tallest trees and t^e roar was terriiyinf^. And i^amabe riidge on f-.e opposite side of the canyon glowed red standing out horribly in t'^e darkness of t^e night on that side. i shouted :fiiuh as loud as l could yell and someone answer- ed from below, and presently f^e fir 3 bell by the station rang oat. 1*^6 fire v/as on t^e west side of our '^ouse ana about a h'lH dred feet below, and seened to be rushing ^p toward us. At first we t"^.oug^^t there was no possibility^ of taring t\$ house and Elizabeth hustled things into the safe-vault --clot':*j bedding, books and all sorts oi things — w^-^ile 1 attac'^ed a couple of long ho^'e and wet t' e fire-side of t^e ^ouse and the ground for some distance around. I'hen Zenaida drove up with a carfull of women from t' e (Jlub---all believing it was our house. Zenaida got a ladder and took thi longest hose up or t' e top of t' e rooi and doused t^e swiftly failing cinders— -Eany as big as your ^and. At f^e sa^ne time othen were busy along the road, putting oat starting-fires and packing their belonginf^s I ia *i 1 n 25 into t^eir cars — if they ^ad cars as most of t>ieiii did — or packing t^em on their backs. isVeryone was sure that all our houses were going up in smoke . I'hen a man by the name of Holmes from high up on the other side of t^e canyon saw V-e fire and was sure it was our house. iSo ^e and ^is wife rushed over. And when ^e saw Zenaida up on the roof he immediately changed places wit^ her and kept t^^e roof soar- ed till nearly midnight. keanwhile the fire warden of f^is district ^^ad been noti- fied by phone and came up in his fire car wit"^. assistants, and at ''-is orders additional fire-fig'^.ting outfits from ijan Rafael and Larls*- xpur Gam.e swiftly over, clearing t^io roads with their sirens, while at the same time our llartinelli ,t^e most experienced fire fighter in t^e district, was already at work with his gang of trained men and ^ad t^e fire under control. T^.en he climbed up to our place and told us the damger "^^ad passed and we could go to bed. So at midnight we put t^e car (still loaded with everyt^ingi in V-e garage and £ and Z dug the bedding out of V^e vault and we went to bed. "All's well t^.at ends well*'--and I'm glad i happened to be at "^ome. Une of t^e lucky things about it is f^at we had connecting pipe with the high-pressure system put in only day before yesterday; otherwise we would not have had any water on the roof.

Dr. W. 3, Stephens 1250 Bay street Alameda, Ualifornia Dear Dr. utephens: Your letter of ti-e 12th instant from Yosemite was read with much interest and appreciated by all of us. JSridently you had a hot and busy time at Clear Lake^but it will be a satisfaction to know that your pump house and gasoline engine are in. such excellent condition for future requirements. You and Stuart did well to climb that peak twice during your s>^ort stay. I would like to borrow your legs for t>^e rest of t^e seasonl CJlad you were rewarded by finding Dicentra cVrysantha. It surely is a lovely plant. I found it bloomin- in quantity in t^e hills back of Stonyford the year before last. Your deliberate trip to Yosemite must have been most satisfying. TMs is t^e right way to go so that you havo time to see things along the way. And it is odd that you met t^e Indian, ^Tank liuol-aiell. 1 did some work with him a number of years ago. r^e Yosemite and Berkeley boys seem to be doing Ih ^ ■) Dr. W. 3. otep>iens - 2 a land office business with salamanders this year. Only a short time ago they described a new species and now you tell me they have another. Since we saw you last I have made several short trips and one longer one— the latter to iStewarts Point. If you have ever driven from Oazadera up t^e coast to otewarts Point and then across t>»e mountains to Healdsburg I am sure you forgot to tell me about it. You could hardly have made the cross trip in anything but a very small car. T^e turns are so sudden and s'^^ort and so multitudinous and the pitches an af^**-^ that one would not forget t^em in a hurry, even though the route did not traverse what are per>'aps the most precipitous and extraordinrr^ canyons in California. \le made most of the turns in low at * speed of 5 miles, feeling f^at anything swifter would have precipitated us from 500 to 1,000 feet into one or t^-e ot^er of t^e canyons that fall off from t^-e outer track of t^e road, i^'or miles t^ere are no turnouts, so you may imagine we had little opportunity to observe t^e scenery, which really is remarkable. I would be glad to get there again, if possible, and take a lot of photographs. It should be fixed as a one way road and the inquisitive public notified accordingly. 1 rather like the Westport-Laytonville road whic> takes only west bound traffic in t^e forenoon and east bound in t^^ afternoon.

It takes my breafh away to learn that the Hoiif^^ton Mifflin Company are getting up a special edition of Jo>in Luir^s works in w>iic>^ tTiey are willing to use 1,000 p"^otograp>!S. This is truly amazing and shows a wonderful change of heart on t^e part of these publishers > in the natter of illustrations. Unfortunately, for your immediate needs, it is beyond my power at present to "^elp you in t^e matter of TIarriman expedition photographs. My set is locked up in my "^ouse in Washington to whic''^ no one has access; and furthermore it would be out of the question for any one e two photographs you wish from the i^ Oonmission you can doubtless obtain by addressing t^e Uonmissioner at V/ashington.

Dear Captain Barnes: Rotumipg fron a recent trip in the mountains of northwestern California I find your letter telling me W^^at "happened in t^e Geographic Board after I left Was^-^ington. I am very muc"'^ interested as well as grevious- ly disappointed in t^e outcone, but wis'^ to thank you for your frankness and courtesy in telling me just what did happen. This is t^e first time in my twenty years of service on the Board, and I think the first time in t>^e "^istory of the Board, that the President of t^e United States has seen fit to dictate as to any of its decisions. To me it is a dreadful thing that politics s>»ould be allowed to interfere with t>^e free action of the Board. But under the circumstances I do not see how the Board could possibly have done differently. We are, as usual, having a very busy season and I still have much work to do with the Indians of the norf^eastem and northwestern sections of the iState. With best wishes to Mrs. Barnes and yourself in w^nch Mrs. Merriam and ^enaida join, yery truly yours 52 ^» , £2 i 54 3 k July 19, 1925 Pear Betty: Obviously you recovered from your celebration on t>e i^oart > in excellent tine as ycu were able to write me on t'^e Sfh. 60 you are at liars Hill Uamp. Uan you see liars any better from this camp t>i.an from Lyons i^-alls? •Sell, you are a lucky girl to be able to travel about so muov and see so many things and go to such an interesting camp, the only unfortunate thing being that you keep so far away from California. I do not think much of wasting one's time on wood carving, but incidentally you doubtless have a chance to learn sometMng worth while about the plants and animals of that part of the great dtate of Maine. But it seems a pity t^at you >ave t^us far failed to enjoy the experience of sea sickness. I would suggest that you take a thick slice of raw pork and spread it over with molasses, eating it standing on the starboard deck in a good breeze. This may have t^e desired result. If not, 1 will make one or two additional suggestions. '.-. * i 1 S V 1 t 4» ! .

Have you ever been to irort i5raggY If not^ 1 would reconmend the trip, rhe road from Mountain House is fair*to-good all the way, without a single grade worth mentioning. The old road from Navarro to the coast went over a big mountain bat the new road, an actual highway grade, follows the river without going over any elevation at all. The scenery is attractive all the way, the greater part in open oak and madrono country with yellow grass slopes and ridges to the north, forests to the south. It lavarro the road enters second growth liedwood forest which it foUowB to the coast. The coast is bold, but the >>ead- lands are not high, it is cut by deep precipitous fiords and the oceanfront is dotted with rooky islets, ihe trip is well worth taking and 1 am sure that you and your family would enjoy it. You doubtless would make the run to irort 15ragg in one day, returning the next.

They are picking fruit at the ranches and trarel long distances to find work, they hare finished the hop picking and the prune picking and are now picking grapes. 1 learn from other Indians where the different bunches are at work and in that way find them with as little delay as possible. lou may be interested in a little incident that occurred no later than yesterday. 1 droye up to the very top of a mountain over a distressingly narrow and sidling road where a slip of a few inches would kaye precipitated the car into the canyon below. On arriving at the top i found the man i was in search of, one of two or three who still speak the language of their tribe. Me was lery polite and brought a chair for me and worked with me freely for about three hours, his old wife sitting beside him en the ground / I I r ^ ■ I I ! t I 111 fl.i.fl. 2 part of the time but going into tHe nouee at intervals, rinally i heard sobbing and oryiag in the house, whereupon the old In- dian told me that his grandaughter— girl of serenteen^had dxed at midnight the previous nig^t and that the women were cry- ing over her dead body. He asked if 1 would take him to Healds- bury so he could buy a coffin, this 1 did imwdiately. On the way he told me that the girl had gone through the graimnar school and was in the high school when she became too sick to go. ahe had stood high in her classes and was well liked by her teachers. i3ha had died of tuberculosis, a usual result of Insufficient nourishment. I once had a similar experience in extreme southern California near the Mexican border, when an old Indian with whom 1 had been working for some hours told me that he must go to bury his boy who had died the day previous. These two cases illustrate a prominent feature of Indian character, for when working with people whom they know to be friends they strive in every way to do what is wanted, even under most pressing and distressing conditions. Our old car has reached the stage when it is no longer profitable to operate it. bomething happens nearly every trip, causing not only expense but hours of delay at garages'^jand mai^ time& there is no garage near. 1 lost more than half a day during the trip fron iddoh 1 returned last night, and today my daughter has ^aken th^ car to K>an ii^faal for repairs. .iith best wishes p fery truly yours, ''"^ • '^\.*- V srr 113 Bept. 28, 1925 Mr. A.

SSf 133 Oct. 17 1925 Mr. L. A. Barrett Forest Service ban i^'rancisco Dear Mr. iiarrett: xieferring again to your letter of July 8 in which you inquire whether or not the average California Indian makes use of good agricultural land when the same is furnished him, would say that durinfr my field experience of perhaps thirty-five years with California Indians very few cases have been found where Indians had been furnished with''°:ood agricultural land* the vast majority of their homes, as you of course know, are on worthless land, asaally in rocky places or on steep slopes in the mountains, and often remote frotc water with no possibility oi irrigation, in a few instances however, in most oi which the lands have been pur- chased by the Indians themselves, the Indians have become fairly capable farmers, and horticuitui^^ists. In the case of a number of rancherias visited during the present yeai^ enough vegetables and fruits for the use of the family were cultivated close to the houses, and m 30":e cases the quantities raised were sufficient for marketin*^. At one little Indian home near Likely, Modoc Uo'ODtv we camped alon.^side of a cultivated patch in which the following were found j^r owing, and most of them ready for the table: corn, squash, tomatoes, peas, beans, turnips, carrots, beats, radishes, watermelons. LAB S I At the Hopland iieservation the Indians have most creditable Tineyards and orchards. I hapT,ened to be there nr,« ^« v . . - ou K, ue mere one day when two contractors were comnetinp for the T,„r,>>,o«. ^ ^- -.,. - , ^ . n^ -or the purchase of tfte pears then not yet ready for picking. ^ Apnles and tomatoaH «rA c,y-^,m„ «4. - omaijoes are grown at numerous rancherias and homes.

He is said to be well-fo H« „n^ ■"" ^^ "» weii -to-do, and successiul trom the business point of view. There are successful Indian farmers also in the dtonv ^ree. region, in Klamath valley near Orleans, and in various oiher places. And in southern Oalixornia as you douDtlesa are well aware mnnj of the Indians cultivate every loot ot available land. A fow days ago at ohasta Springs I foand a fulCblood iBdian acting as caretaker of the beautiful grounds and gardens of P-a .Hales of San i?*rancisco. Xhe day i was there he was engaged m building a circular stone wall around a llower bed and was entirely alone on the place. What Indians need in order to become self supporting as tarmers is land suitable for agriculture, water enough for irriga- tion, and in some cases friendly instruction.

Uur engine broke down and we had to be hauled 10 miles to the nearest garage,where we were delayed 24 hours. •ihe other bit of bad luck was that the Indians we went to see were no more. Nevertheless we are most thankful that the burning out of one of the main bearings of our engine took plaoe on a highway where it was possible to obtain assistance, had it occured in the Sherwood region or in any one of «i hundred other places previoasly visited the car would probably be there yet.

In the hurry of closing the house at Lagunitas I forgot to turn off the water in the water box behind the house, and also at the point where it enters the house under Mrs. Merriam^g window. I shall be greatly obliged if you will turn off these two valves- I did turn it off where it leaves the big tank and vented it in 2enaida^s orchard and drained the pipes at the house. It has been raining here for a couple of days, but that is quite proper for this time of the year. And I suppose you are now having plenty of wetness at Legunitas.

Altogether apart froin the difficulty of ob- taining end shipping live Grizzly Bears. 1 feel duty bound to express my abhorrence of any procedure of this kind. It is hard to think of anything more detrimental to the scientific study of anirals than the existence of hybrid individuals or of species from a foreign locality introduced into the domain of another species. I consider this a crime against Nature. Dreadful mistakes of this kind have already been mrde in the case of species of Blk and Buffalo and I most earnestly hope that the pemicioiB practice will not go further.

I should be very glad to learn the whereabouts of any native Indians south of Sacrtmento and north of Merced.

The skull arrived yesterday i:nd I have just taken it to the National iluseujn and entered it as a donation from you. On comparison with the adult female killed by Sheldon some years ep,o it is ple^^sinn to note that the two agree in ell essential details, in fact ere remarkably alike, including the undershot jaw which you mention. It is a fiBe thing to have this additional adult added to cur lietional Museum Series vrfiich now niuabers more then id, OCX) skulls of the Big Bears — Grizzlies and Big Brown Bears.

I am glad to know that you are planning a systematic campaign for building up the membership of the Indian Defense Association of California. The Horthem Branch of the Association ought to purchase a small car by means of which you, accompaniad by a competent nurse if ^«icticable, could visit the numerous scattered rancherias in th* Borthwn part of the State. There is only one way to learn cf the needs of our Cali- fornia Indians and that is to visit them in their homes and spend enough time wit a tliem to become familiar with the conditions under which they live. You speak of having a bill in process of drafting intended for the relief of Galifornit Indians in the matter of health. Let me urge that it is already late: all bills of this nature should be in the hands of the Committee at this time. The Kaker Bill has been before the Committee for some time and is likely to be passed- FersonBlly.

Congress- man Lea of Santa Eosa is not on the Indian Connittee. In fact. California suffers the disadvantage of not having a single repre- sentative on this Committee. But Walter P.

Dear Ur, Knight: Doubtle^^s you hr.711 been wondering v^hy you did not hear from me. The principal reason is that 1 did not ^ant to ^rite untU i had somethinp to say.and matters of leRislation concerning Indians have thus far cone on very slowly. Congressman Raker has been extremely ill as you nay have heard, he unden^ent a serious operation in a hospital here in imshington before my return from California and is Still in a critical condition,so that I have not seen him. i have, however, seen iir. Lea of 3anta Rosa and Mr. 3cott Leavitt of Llontana, Chairman of the House Committee on Indian Affairs. To both I have recommended legislation f o r a lump fund payment to Indians based on the value in 1852 of the lands tak,en from them by the Americanly excepting the Mission 3trip. But I doubt if 4;nythinr; comes of it. The indications ^re that the Eeker Bill, with or without modificaticn. will be passed by the House and very likt- ly also by the Senate. During the next fe^ days I expect to see Congressman M. /. Lineberger of Los Angeles County, tie is said to bt much irterej^ted in legislation for California Indians, - i \ i 274 - 2 - An item of interest is that the Indian Defense Asso- ciataon of .N'orth and Central Californi. h.s appointed Miss Alid^ C.

Hart Merria* Two articles of Federal legislation appear to be x^eeded for the relief of California ladiana: One. a pro- .ision for the compensation of surviving Oalifomia Indians for lands ta.en a.ay from their trihee by the Americana wxth- out payment or recompense of any kind; the other an inter- pretation of the clause in the Enabling Act of the fiftiiioiIU^ ^_^^^1,^^»T., of 1851 re.iuirine land claimants to prea»T.t their cUims to the Federal Land Oommission.rs within two year«. In the matter of legislation intended to compensate Indian for lands confiscated by the whxtas, attention should be called to the Baker Bill, passed by the last Congress, but not signed by the President. Jhis bill gires California Indians the right to bring suit in the Court of Claims for compensation for certain lands aftt flgfitti BS BftBOrTStimiS- uf Oelifomie Indian ConmisBioners under Treaties executed with eighteen California tribes in 1851 and lS5' missions. The area occupied by the invaders consisted alaoat rtiolly of what came to he known aa "Thfl BiffffiffTI dtrip'-e coastal belt extendii^ from the Mexican herder northimrd to e little heyond San Francisco Bay. Farther north, on the coast, the ftiasians had established a settl«ent known as Fort Boss; ^ile at a few other points outside the Mission Strip the Spanish or Mexican GorernBents had made concessions or grants to certain early settlers. The moat important of these «sa th» OM to aonisral Sutter, Ao, on the site of ths present city of 3eorai»nto, had built a fort callsd by him Hew Helvitia, but unirersally known as Sutter's Fort.

I if e'fs > ^ .#• .,••>■ «««"!• /, -'. 9 \- Interpretation c sf Ix^ini Cl«^"'fl Law of 1851 i» laiffit In the matter of interpretation of the Ifilli j^jluJJi^Sl, attention is called to the fact that in recent years several cases intended as meastires of justice to Cali- fomie Indians hare heen decided adversely hy the courts on the ground that the klfid_giaias_L8w_ofJ851 specifies: "that each end every person claiming lands in Oali- fomia by virtSe Jf any right or^itle derived from the Mexican or ioanish povemmente shall oresent the same to ^he said or ij^wuiou 21 _ifViin twn vftBra after the date of this act coTumiBSioners. . • .wi w"in two years ax m* ui^v i*e in default of which said lands shall he "considered as part of the puhlic domain of the United itetes". The Indians knew nothing of this law— liiich, in fact, was not intended to apply to them at all—and of course failed to appear before the commissioners. Nevertheless it has come to pess that suits brought to recover for lands taken from Indians have been thrown out of court because claims for said lends had not been filed with the Land CoBmiasioners three- quarters "of a century agol To persons faniliar with the history of California, particularly with reference to the Land Grant System prevail- ing under Spanish and Mexican rule, it is obvious that the LPQd Claifan Un was intended to apply solely to Mexicans and other whites then holding land in ^alifomia~NOT to the native Indians. This is not left to inference but is conclusively prored by trie phraseolory of the law itself, which refers to persons "claiming lands in California bw^ .tn. .. ,,, ,^ ^^^ , \ / ^ 280 The lands belonging to California Indians were held NOT "by ^xrtue Of any right or title derived from the Mexican or Spanish governments", but i^,Lj:isi^L.s^t^,ja^ Section 16 of the XflM Cl#imf^ T^i, prorides: -That it shaU be the duty of the commiasioners herein provided for to ascertain and report to the ^ecretaxy of the Interior the tenure by lAich the misaion lands are held, and those held by civilized Indians, and those who are engaged in agriculture or labor of any kind, and also those which are occupied and cultivated by Pueblos or Kancheroa [Bancheria] Indians.'* The provisions of this Section have never been com- plied with— no report having been made to the Secretary of the Interior as to the tenure of land "held by civilized Indians, and those who are engaged in agriculture or labor of any kind^ and also those *ich are occupied and cultivated by Pueblos or Bancheroa Indians." The last clause is of great importance for the reason that it applies to practically all the Indian lands of California. For Indian lands were held collectively — as tribal or rencdieria (village) possessions — NOT as personal or indiv- idual holdings. And furthermore, from the nature of the case it was impossible for the Commissioners to carry out their instructions as to lands **occupied end cultivated by Pueblos or Eancheros Indians", for the very good reason that at the M > #*, ., I .( rss u™ of th. a«.«i..ion th.r, ..re in Oalifo.-ia huadr. s of oocuplea ranch.rias or HUag... utterly «ntao™ to eUh.r t..

This, 1 beiiere. was fully explained by Mr. Raker in the documents accompanyinfe hia Bill (H.R. 12123 ^ebina 17 3,1S25). One point on itiich the Commonwealth Club was unanimous and on ^icfa they felt rery atrongly was that moneys appropriated by Congresa for the relief of California liriians should be trana ferred directly to the State of Califemia. as outlined in tha r f t t ) 1- l\ i 1 * ' ' ; i I 1 1 i 1 r , t \ i > « ^ P""l«c.

Hon. Scott Leavitt, Chairmtin Committee on Indian Affairs House of Representatives. !'y dear Sir: In reading H.R. 7826, recently introduced by yo'ur Com- mittee, I find myself unable to see any reason for the pro- posed legislation; in fact I regard the conternp'lated bill aa decidedly pernicious. Riir.an nature is human nature, sunong Indians as well as whites. The so-called Reservation Courts and Reservation Judg- es are appointed by the Superintendent and naturally are sure to do ^13 bidding, /nd it is a melancholy fact that in a very larige number of cases the will of the Superintendent, enforced by his local police and ju(%e3, is in op-osition to the will of the best men of the tribe. The authority given the Resexration Police and Judges affords a rare opportunity for the gratification of personal spite. Can it be possible that the Congress of the United States rill authorize these Judges' to imprison citizens of the United States for unna;ned offances for . period of six month* without the possibility of appeal or redress? Now that CongresB has conferred citizenship on all In- dif ns. ^liy„AaLjkilcK_ them the r.rivil*i^«« ^-r «44.,- ,., - __ i II ') i provide penalties for unspecified acts not considered worthy of mention in our legal codes? Section 4 abolishes "Indian custom marri.^c;e and divorce, Congress has already legislated on this subject with undue sever- ity. The laws and customs of the various tribes are sufficient. Why should our Goverrinent exhibit such haste in forcir^g Indians to abandon their own laws and customs? Why should we exhibit so much impatience? There is no necessity for this kind of legis- lation. Time is working fast enow-h. For years, as a result of contact with whites, particularly where the children are educat- ed in schools, the chcuxge from the Indian's point of view to the white man's point of view ha.3 been stef^dily going on, and in a few irore years in the natural course of events there will be kit- tle left of the old-time beliefs and practices. It is the ever- lasting hurr" of the Indian Office to force Indiana to turn into white men immediately tb^t ha,3 resulted in the all b;.t universe.! hatred between the Covemtnent officials and the Indians.

I oes Fabruary 20, 1926. Mr. Stephen Knight R. F. D: 138 UViah. California* Lear Mr. Knip^it: Things have been happening here since I lo-ote you last. A number of delegations of Indians from various parts of the West, mainly frOTi Wj^omir^, Montana and North Dakota, are here now. There have been iiqportant hearir^s before the House Coimiittee on Indian Affairs arxi both John Collier and myself have been heard at some lergth. We have strongly opposed the passage of a biJ] introduced by the ComniBsioner of Indian Af- fairs providing for the legalization of the so-called Reserva- ^-i°JL5Pi??:*? appointed by and under control of the Superintendent or Agent in charge of the Reseryation, The Comnittee is divided on the subject, but how they will vote reinains to be seen. The 3tronge8t advocate on our aide is Kr./Frear of Wisconsin. He i« a very able and clear-headed man and has introduced a counter- bill (H.R. 9315) intended to block the Indian Office bill. The Raker bill, with modifications by CollettCand I a/T told with the help of Congressman Lea of Santa Roaa)was re- introduced on January 20. 1926 (H.R. 8036). It is n:uch better than no bilJ at all. But a wholly diffarert-jlnd one which froni my point of view 13 vP.stly better is H.

You will note particularly that it does away with the delay of years likely to follow if the g^^urt o^Claims Juil Is passed. Tou will note also that the disposition of the flind is to be in the hands of ^e^jLESSiy^iifiEmiss^ jointly by the Goverrarent and the Governor of Califomieu We are told by Members of Congress that it is out of the question to attempt to provide for the [Ayment of an appropria- ^i^^ iil?.9^y ^^ the Indians themselves; that it must be placed in the hands of some responsible oiiganization to be expended for the benefit of Indians; otherwise there would be no possibility of its passage* Collett has been here for sometime and is here now. He caiTie to see me two or three d^ys ago and left for my perusal a Court of Claims docuar.ent in behalf of the Klamath, Modoc and Ya- hooskin Indians^ He called for the document a few minutes a^o ses 393 - 3 - and I returned it to him, callir^ Ms attention to a groaa error in the accocpanyirs mp. Notnirg -as said by either of ua in re- gard to the ftJcer-Collett bill and we had no conversation what- ever in regard to California Indians. I am tellirg you all this with a good deal of detail in 0 rder that you n&y know exactly what has been done recently in connection with hoped-for legislation for California Indians.

The first of these was the Raker bill, somewhat altered frar the fon. in which it passed a year ago. The other is a new bill introduced a few days ago by Mrs. Kahn. and very much more comprehensive and beneficial than the Raker-Collett bill. The bill introduced by Mm. Kahn was prepared by a num- ber of different people and o igani zat i one , chiefly the Common- wealth Club of California and the Indian Defense Association. You will see by Section 6 of the Raker bill that in case the Indiarja are allowed to win a case in the Court of Claima the resulting money would remain in the United States Treasury and therefore be subject to the control of the Indian Office. Mrs. Kahn's bill on the other hand provides for an im- partial cotmiseion.free of control by the Indian Office. With kind regards to you and your wife and son. Very truly yours. li ees February 23. 1926- Mr. F. W. Wilson Adin. Modoc County California. My dear Sir: You wrote me some time ago askir^ about what waa be- ing done for Indians. I did not reply earlier for the reason that a good many of us were at work trying to do something and I did not know how it would come out. Two bills for the benefit of California Indians hare been introduced in Coiigress this winter. The fir«t of these waa the Raker bill. sooi^wliAt altered frcaa the foim in which it passed a year ago. The other is a new bill introduced a few days ar.o by Mrs. Kabji, and very much more coraprehensiTe and beneficial than the TJaker-Collett bill. The bill introciiced by Mrs. Kahn warn prepared by a number of different people and oiiganizations, chiefly the Cannon- wealth Club of California and the Indian Defense Association. You will see by Section 6 of the Raker bill that in case the Indians are allowed to win a case in the Court of Claims the resulting money would remain in the United States Treasuiy and therefore be subject to the control of the Indian Office. Mrs. Kahn^s bill.on the other hand^proTides for an impartial co»- r^iaslon free of control by the Indian Office. I a/n afraid I can not help you and' your wife about the payment forthe land which you say was in the Fort Bidwell I, * I r I I I 1 fJ" !

If you could get the Superintendent at Fort Bidwell to write euch a state- ment and send it to the Indian Office you might learn just what could be done. I am aorxy I can not help you in the matter.

The draft you sent me of a bill in regard ^o appropria- tions for the health of California Indians otruck me as one not likely te be passed by Cor^ress, but as it is in the hands of Wr.

He is probably the most influential man amonr the Indi^^ns oi Northern California. A.any of the old and niddle-ap.ed Indians .vho have good heads ere unable to express themselves in English, and moreover, most of them become so emberrsssed among v^hites that they ere unable to say what they .mean. I hope you are ^ivinp consir^eretion to the matter I wrote you about on i^ebruary 26, namely, the failure of the i(ahn bill to preside for Indians who are net and dc net wish to be fanners. Another feature of the bill which, to my mind, ^ I • 1 , ' if C- De Y. B. 2 needs reconsidprflf inr, ,•« ^i.

Heferrinp sp-in to the matter of the Kf^hn Bill, there are one or two points additionsl to the one I ATote you about 8 few days ago, which to my mind might be amended to advantage.

The olippingi I am particularly glad to have, as they have not been senti^me by the Allen Clipping Bureau. We are having a severe struggle in Congress, not only in an effort to secure helpful legislation but also. I regret to say. for the purpose of killing some very terrible bills which, if pcuised. would subject Indians to a tyranny hereto- fore unknown in Imerioa. It is hardly necessary to add that these bills emanate from the government Bureau of Indian Affairs. Yes, Dr. Fox was very kind in writing me in regard to the treatment of trachoma, and also to call my attention to an important article of his which I later obtained. Indian affairs in Congress have taken up a good deal of my time, but nevertheless I am makir^ fair progress in working up the California material. I have had made by a draftsman of the Geological Survey a map of Northeastern California showing the areas occupied by the several >it River tribes. This I hope to publish in colors in the not distant future. ^ il 456 I -I ^ Dr. W. Barclay Stephens 2 1 . ! :'""^^""" 'o "» -'•" ^™ «„.

The article gives a fairly accurate account of what was known of this bear soma twenty years ago. Present knowledge is much more complete. There are numerous specimens in our National Museum in Washington, in the Imerican Museum of Natural History in New York, and in the Field Natural History Musei^ in Chicago, with others in the Museum of Verte- brate Zoology of the University of California and other collections. In the National collection here in Washir^on we have many skulls and a few skins. The skulls and teeth are indistinguishable from those of the connon Black Bear of the mainland of Alaska. The skins show a wide range of variation. At one time I regarded this bear as a local subspecies of the Black Bear, confined to Yakutat Bay and the Mt. St, Elias region, but the field observations of the late 0.

It is a fine thing that nee in a while some competent person undertakes the drudgery of bringing together material of this kind and of illuminating it from his own knowledge. I greatly admire ah: o your painstaking analysis of Senate Bill 30i:X; providing that Federal funds approprieted for the care and relief of Califomia Indians he expended through certain public agencies of the State of Califomia, a copy of which l»:r. Collier let me have for a few days. This Eill, if I understand the situation correctly, i« the only one for the relief of Califomia Indians likely tc be pasped during the present Session^and unfortunately it is by no means sure that it will pass. Year comparison of the Kahii Bill (H.R. 9497) with the Baker Bill (li.I?.8036) is certainly a masterly and convincing treatment, and will, I trust, do much good in clearing the Conr.ressional atmosphere on the subject. • «. t i: i OSG Por some time ^.^st I ^^.ve been n«mir^ to write you concer i^ certain a.end.ents needed in the Xahn Bill. I ..ote ^r. Elkus about these a while a,o. ^out ^ not s^e that he - brought tne matter to yo^or attention. The .ost in^Fortant emission, it seems to .e. is the absence of provision for Indians ^lo^r^not and do not wi.h }o be farmerg. If the intent of the Bill fe .,. of . . .. " - w.c aiii E , as stated, the reimbursement of Califrrni? Trriior,» ^ -, - aiiicrnic Indians for lands taken from their tribes without payment therefor, it ^uld see. that ^ sur- viving n..ber.-..-f these tribes should share in the benefits. do not see cl.arly how to phrase a clause to this effect but mght It not be inserted in the matter relatin.. to the power, of the proposed Gcmmi^sion. giving them authority to assist non agricultural Indians i. such manner as in their judgment seemea best? Col. Geo. W. Stewart of Visalia. to whom I sent a ccpy of the Bill, asking for hie views, ma^es the following suggestions: There will nc doubt be many instances '.*en a ?rouD of appLicents will desire a certs in area set aside for their occupancy tni development, but I an not certain that a erouu patent would prove satisfactory. It is provided that after'-uch a patent IS issued theland so patented shall cease to be admin- istered by the Coiranission provided for in the bill and shall be subject' to local assessment and taxation. Every death wou^d cause the title to become involved to some extent and probate proceedings would become necessary. Indian families and proup" do not elways remain harmonious and it would be di fficult ^"for one or mere who might become dissatisfied to secure the segregation of 8 specified tract from a larger area in which each one of sev- eral patentees held an undivided interest. Each birth and death could change the proportionate interest of every patentee in the entire tract. In the second generation each child in a larpe fanilv would hold a comparatively sn»ll portion of the parent patentee's interest. 469 n OTJ» ■nj i C3G ? At oresent there are in ^alifp mi 8 some Indian homestead Etenteei. tnist patentees and claimants and many allottees nclding trust patents. I think it would.he f® ^J. ^ ,V^° ""^ /52_ vision were maSe authorizing the Commission to dispose otun desirable lands covered by frust patents 8"^ purchase in lieu thereof better land upon viiich a family could be ^i°t^J^«?- . It the reqiBst of Indians who hold final Patents for poor land, perhaps the same authority mi#it be given the Commission xo make such exchanges for them. ;„„^««.« o ft-n/^f After an Indian is permitted to occupy and improve a tract 0+^ l£nd would it not be advisable until such time as patent issues. 'to eive the Commission authority to determine the heirs of one who ^ies? The Indian Service has such authority now m tv. p (•3cp of decefised allottees. , , • j.u I t^st that when possible lands will be purchased m the »4rir.tt,/ of the territory formerly occupied bv the Indaans moved ?n to tLS for thej hav^e a st»on| lov/for tgeir old haunts and would net be happy or thoroughly satisfied eiseAere. Mr. Stewart asks if the Act is intended to apply to r-servEticn as well as non reservation Indians. I assume that it" is intended to apply to ^11 Indieni in Califoinia. Referring to the apparent large size of the appropriation, Mr. Stewart renerks: ^ The total amount of compensation provided for is not un- reasoneble arri would ensble maiy of ti» Indiana to become self- supDortinP at en etrly date and would es?ur?8d9qu£j.5 protection and' assistance to a greater number who, or imose Children, WOUia in time become producers instead of public charges. Instead of eskinr for the appropriation of the whole $45,532,640 as a lump sum at one time, it occurs to me that it might fcvor the massage of the Bill if it were spread out over sever;.! ye£;rs. I suggest therefore that the Kahn-Goodrich Bill b« regerded a? an toabling Act,and that lines 6 and 7 of page 5 be amended by striking out the words bg and the same is hereby* and substituting thsTPfor the words is authQrJzed tO 1?0— leavJBg the ainount to be appropriated the first and after years to be determined Lnter.

His remarks on the sifcject follow: ••In by Borne ro subject or rorestry. He said that the republ.^ ._^ .^. 80M years suffered from droughts; that harrests failed and cattle died: and that reason, tradition and ex- Serience pointed to the devastetion of the forests and enudation of the hills and mountains as influential causes of suoh calamities. It was consequently imuor- tant not only to restrict the cutting of trees but^, for the preservation of the health and welfare of the peopte and the protection of agriculture and industries de- pending upon it, to encourage the restoration of wasted forests and the planting of trees along public roads and in such places as could not otherwise be made ucsoful He, therefore, in the name of the president, recommended the adoption of such legislation as might be necessary to effectuate the purposes indicated. Nothing, however, was done in relation to the subject ir California until now, in May. 1845. a series of remilations was adopted to prevent tU> indiscriminate destruction of wood end timber and reetfrilfetA^ cutting to the owners of lands.
