Dear Dr. Merriam:
Bancroft Library
Berkeley, Calif*
Oct. 10, 1916
I think I shall be able to
Bend you a copy of Barrett's Porno Indians
($3«25) by tomorrow afternoon. I too have
tried in second hand book stores for it, but
without success. They have but one somewhat
soiled and dilapitated copy at the University
Press and have had to send to their store
room for a fresh one, a process which ordina-
rily consumes four or five days, but which
they are going to shorten to two for us, be-
cause we are so nice.
I spent Saturday afternoon in DeWitt
and Snelling's Bookstore in Oakland and found
out quite a few things ofl interest to us .
This is the firm that is getting out that
set of bibliographical cards on Calif. Mr.
«
DeWitt's family have lived in Calif, since
1873 and :-.r. DeWitt seems very well informed
about people who have lived in the state,
partly throurh the literature of all kinds
that conies his way, auid partly no doubt through
the people who buy and sell said literature ,
He gave me the addre .s of Dr. Marsh's grand*
daughter, Mrs. Amy G. Cameron, 116 B Figiieroa
Street, Sta. Barbara; and also of a friend of
Dr. Marsh, who was bom near Dr. Marsh's ranch,
and with whom he thought you migiit like to
talk, — J.L.Bromley, 435 28th Street. Oakland.
He told me of a man who has a large ranch in
the Clear Lake region, who is greatly interested
in the Indians up there. Has them work for him
and b constantly talking with them 8uid ques-

Mr* DeW* did not qiiite know whether to give
me the raan*s name and I did not urge him at
all* Also gave me the names of a c»uple of
men well informed on Indians of their region:
G.W.Ingalls* PO Box 652, Reno, Nevada, con-
nected with the Indian Commission out there;
O.W.Dwinnelle, Montague, Calif., well ax5-
quainted with the Indians of Shasta Co*
There were some few books wMch you might
like to buy. I enclose a list.
I hope you are feeling veiy much better.
It rains in Berkeley all the days.
Sincerely yours.

Dear Dr. Uerrlam:
The Bancroft Library
owns Prleto'e Viaje a loe BBtadoa Unidoe.
but it has just been sent to the bindery
end will not be back for a month probably.
It came out in serial form and when Mr.
Priestley got his notice from Miner's
about it, he decided it would better b«
bound. He says he spent about a di^ on
the three rolumes, going through it page
by page, and does not think it contains
anything that would be of interest to you.
The first volume only deals with California
tS-,^^?**' mainly of social conditions.
There is no other copy of the book here.
I am having e good time with the
HlSBlon records and think you will be
pleased with the nvunber of rancherias
located.
Very truly yours,
Bancroft Library

Dear Dr. Uerriam:
Here are some bills.
I haven* t been very extravagant.
How is your fumigated household?
I hope that you axe all all right and
that Gertrude is getting better swiftly.

Dear Dr. T.!erriam:
Thank you for the check. It is quite correct
ae to amount, and if you will make 2 items out of the last,
substituting (1) $l for food on trip to Lagunitas, and (2)
50 cents for tracing paper, pencil, and pads, it will be true
to fact, and will cover everything I have spent up to date.
The enclosed letter from Kiss Bell came in the same mail
as yours. Since receiving it I have been talking with T^r.
Coy a little. He is loath to give Mise Bell u^ and may
possibly be able to get funds to keep her here. He is going
to try anyway. Of course he understands we would not make
any effort to take her away from his work, if he can get the
money to keep her here. He is perfectly willing for her to
be doing part time work with you until you go to ;7ash-*ngton,
however, and I should judge she could come to you any lay
soon when you wanted her*
I am still working mission records at the Bancroft.
Pr. Englehardt has been here again and has givan me lists of
ranoherias from Santa Ynez and Purisima missions, which he
copied fror- the Mission records years ago. He has been
very nice and I have learned many useful things from him,
about spellings, signs, abbreviations etc.
But better th-n that, Dr. Bolton has said that he could,
and he would when I was ready for it, get permission for me
to use any of the mission records in the State, even those
at S-nta Barbara, which ?r. Englehardt, in whose keeping they
are, eeemed to think inaccessible for rae.
Do you not think it would be wise for me to push that work
as much as possible with the goal (entirely beyond me probably)
of completing it this summer? I could do the San Francisco,
San Jose, and Santa Clara records, with my headquarters still at
Berkeley, and then on my ticket home, take in San Juan Bautista,
San Luis Obispo, and put in the rest of the time at Santa Barbara,
where most of the records are. Of course this is all a tentative
plan. The thought is too new to me to have worked it out much.
I will start in on the records in this vicinity as soon as it can
be arrange d»
The dnys slip along smoothly and swiftly. Except for a
call from Vjt. and T.!r8. Priestley (who by the way is very nice) and
an hour a day in the swimming pool, I have nothing social to
report. I haven't even been shopping In San Francisco once since
I came West.
I did have a letter from Gertrude, but I know you had one
too. Isn't it fine that she is feeling so much better? And I
also in the same mail, had a note from TTcConrell written on the
voyage dver. Wasn't that a coincidence?
l!y loving regards to your family. Please tell Z I hope
there won't be so much excitement at Lagunitas that a little time
in Berkeley will no longer appeal to her.

Dear Dr. T'erriam:
The address of the mar. -^ho bought
the San Fernando I'ieslon Heoord from the Pico farily^is
Ho^vard '5. Huntington, Pacific Slectric Building, Los
Ange le 8 •
The following are the Pinart vocabularies that
you spoke of comparing with your own vocabularies or with
those of Henshaw:
!.!iskanakan of San Buenaventura fChumaeh)
Santa Barbara
Alaxalapu - Santa Ynez
Tulare la) guage of Santa C:'^uz
Chalcsteoa ( ?) Ypkuts
Apache -Yuma •
Mohave
I hope I am right on these. I am not sure you
mentioned the Apache-Yiima, but at least I haven't left
out any
Ver^ trnly.

Dear Dr. "erriam:
I am very glad that the San Fernando records
are In Eew York. I have beon regretting that I planned to stop
over In Los Angeles, beo^.use there is so much that I want to
finish here. I too wish I had another rr^onth to put in.
e ar-3 still working on the Pinart Collection, and I have
found some original ntmuscripts of Spanish explorations in
California in the early part o^ the 19th century, that I want
to go over. I am sorry to report that the Pinart Collection
throws no light on the particular reference we have been searching
for. In fact his miscellaneous notes had rothing to d6 with
California. The package in that drawer marked 'California
Indians' oontr^^ned some d^^ta by Stephen Powers-of no prrticnlar
value •
Yes, there is uch ir^luenza in Berkeley. The theatres
and churches have been closed, '^.nd all large college gatherings
postponed. Vx. Priestley has been in bed all the week; three
of Dr. Bolton's daughters havo heen ill for some t'me, and
several of the library force arc more or less afflicted. ^7e have
had anlte ^. few oases at lot el Bancroft, but -other and I are
Still OZ.
7e are pl-nring to leave on Tuesday or ./ednesday. That will
give us t^o or three days in Hew Orleans. I will come to
Lagunitas on :^onday, an 1 bring the negative of that map I once
offered to p-^ck, al o one or -^-^o other packages. K^ trunks are
going to be very fnll.
Very" truly,
§JUjeA.<

r)ear Dr* Merrlam:
I am duly Installed for work
here this morning in the snvne seminar room, and feel
very much at home. Dr. Priestley is in Mexico for a
few morths, but Dr. Bolton and Dr. Coy wish to be remem-
bered to you.
I have assembled a few bills, which I enclose hoping
they will be in tl-e for the expense account. The
reading glass is just like the one which you have^ and
as it was only two bits more than you paid last year,
and it was too late to lock elsewhere, and I did not
want to make a special errand In town for it, I took it •
Hlrsch and Kaye had your camera equipment in the
shipping room ready for mailing. They were vervsorry
It had been so -Relayed, but said that the shutter was
a very difficult piece of work, ''the aluminum was so
soft" and that they had been wording a week on it.
The archbishop's address is ^ward J. Hanna,
1100 Franklin Street, San Francisco.
It is powerful cold and foggy here this morning. I
hope the sun is shining in Lagunitas.
Sincerely,
Dr. C. Hart Merriam,
Lagunitas, Marin Co.,
California-

Deer Dr. Merrlam:
Thank you for sendlnp my returned
letter, enc? alec for the check for expenses, which I received
some time ago. I am enclosing a couple of bills for paper:
the 60 cent one Is for a small mount of white paper; the
other for the usual blue typewriting paper.
But of mor^ Interest aro the newspaper clippings —
duplicates of some sent Dr. Coy, v/hich he kindly gave me.
Perhaps It would be worth while to write the Holllster
Advance to see if we could get all the articles in Father
Triana's History of San Juan Bautista Mission. Dr. Coy has
not more thfn helf of them, end he had no duplicate of the
one most useful to us, which coitalned a list of Indian
nribes'' of San Juen Bautista Mission. I am sending you a
copi of this list end have noted on the carbon copy the
seme or different spellings given by Arroyo de la Cuesta
in his MS vocabularies with vhich I hcve just been ▼orking.
The original De la Cuesta MS contains oonsiderably i^ore
materiel than our copy, some of it cuite valuable. That end
the Sxpedition MSS ere keeping me nicely busy.
I am glad that we have p favorable reply from Arch-
bishop Hajina, and hope that we may get et that work very
soon. There is consider tble agitation throughout the State
about Uleslon restoration, onc^ as Dr. Bolton and Dr. Coy get
most of the dcte concerning It, I mty be able to pick up
some Infornation that v.e v 111 be glad of. They both have
asked job to send their regards to youj also Dr. Priestley
Vfho has returned from Mexico.
Berkeley is beautiful. The sun onoe more shines, end
the University is In full swing T^lth an unpreoedented
registration.
Does the sun shine on Logunltas too? I hope It does,
but not too muoh. Please tell Mrs. Merriam that I am no
longer to be conpardd unfavorably ^Ith Miss Ganfly. I weigh
119 pounds now, 7 pounds more than when I left Washington*
With best wishes to you all.
Sincerely,
Bancroft Library

August 26, 1919
Dear Dr. Merrlam:
That letter iff Introduction seema too
good to be true. I Judge from your letters tbf>t there are
probably some mission records in Los Angeles, nhioh sur-
prises and delights me, as I hcve never heard a rumor of
there being any there.
I an certainly in fnvor of getting at the work
without d'^lay and shell stf^rt for Los Angelas as soon as
the railroad situation clerrs up. Judging from the papers
this morning there is not Brtich likelihood of my reaching
Los Angeles for several days yet»unless I go by motor or
airplane, either of which I should thoroughly enjoy, ohljr I
might not find It very easy to go where I wanted to after
I got there.
I hcve money enough to last until my check comes,
unless something unexpected happens. In ^hlch case I may
apply to you for funds, as you kindly suggest.
Will you please have Miss Gaudy send me a few of
your letterheads; also an emrelope for the Bishop's letter?
I have none that match the paper, and it seems to need one.
1^ tjTpewriter rental expires August 30. Shall I renew
it and let the machine lie Idle while I am away, or shell I
let It go? It Is a good one, and serves to keep my corner
in the Benoroft Library and to make my absence less conspic-
uous*
Very truly yours^

32 cents for postage, and t:- "" ^- all-in addition to the
$8.44 covered r. the vouchers Wiss Sandy sent you a week or

The weathor has beeddteliciously cool until the last two
days, and we have beer, pretty industrious for us. Miss Gandy
finished carai: all the puoAicaoions you left in that
drawer and made out the cards for the San Fernando Mission

Everybody Beerr.B to be leavir^ tovvn* Mr. Nelson went over
a week ago. Florence Johncon says that rJr. Henshaw is going to-
morrow »and of course the ^ ilevs are going torriorrow ni^t.
Our hall at the Northumberland is a dre-r. of cleanliness,
with white ceiling, nev paper and scrubbed mopboards. There is
also a carefully framed sign telling all the things a tenant
may £nd may not do . It expresely forbids playir^ on the piano
or other instrument after 11 P.M. ani be^'^e 9 A. M. It does
not however mention whistlirg. The house across the way has
part of the roof and top story done and a couple of rows of
windows with 12 little old-fashioned panes apiece.
These are all the little items of news I call to rrind.

Dear Er. Merriarn:
I am ver/ sorry about the Sosone
vocabulary. I don't see how I happened t- —look it. I
am eendir^: it by r^^.sterei rrail this rr.omin.^.
The ceilir^ is repaired. I did not hare to speak
to Mrs. Kidwell about it. She came up a fs* aaya after I
returned to arrange about having it done. The room needs
papering terribly. It is water-stair.ea frcra the leak in
places where pictures and baskets do not cover, and it
is all ihite back of both radiators- It aln-ost seems
as if it would look better to have it repapered *ith
a cartridse paper like the one in my rooa. I suppose
there is nothing else .vhich *ou^u biena so -o.^ ..ith
the paper in the other rooms, and e?en the cartridge
papsr «ould be considerably orighter.
'ir. AdaTS is ^.ailing to you a copy of a letter
from the Union Bealty Corporation. I took it down to
show him and he said he would like to write you about
it ana *oala enclose the copy for you. As you aill see^
it is rr.ade out for Apartment 705. It *as put in with
ourmaxiand was addressed 3ir::ly 'Apartinent No. 701'.
I have put the original letter ar.a the envelope in
the safe.
I believe that is all the news at present.
You are surely having a thrilling season^ I fear I
envy you, but I do rejoice and congratulate.
Sincerely yours.

Dear Dr. Merriaa:
I an anclosiiTB the bills for the
month. The electric light bill was very late. It is
stamped "bill rendered Oct. 21" but it didn't appear in
the mail until Saturday afternoon, too late to pay it
that day.
. I found that after the plastering and papering, the
office needed Florence's services the full time this month.
Your rocc really looks very well. The paper doesn't seem
80 bad now that even'thing is clean and in order.
I am sorry, but I do not seem to have any news at all
to send. I asi working all the time on the California
material, and while t>»t it a joy forever, it can scarcely
be termed "news" now. And I haven't been doing any thrilling
personal stunts like buying a car or getting sick or anything-
Of course you had a card frcm Gertrude from Alaska. Mine
wasn't very enlightening, but I hear that they went for a
abort trip only-
at the Club the other day. He
I met Dr. John C

Dear Dr. Merriarr:
Thank you for ti^ check for
$13.30 for October expcnsee at the Northumberland Apart-
ment. I had twenty-four cents left from the ten dollars
you advanced me for expanses in Juno, snd I em subtract irg
it from the meniorandum of Nov^iber ezp^enses enclosed.
The Catholic Historical Review purchased contains
the first installment of Dr. Priestley's article on mission
explorations. The photostat maps frcm John Carter Brown
which I ordered this suwier have just coce, but I have not
yet received the bill.
I cainnot account for your check book beirg so long
in reachijqg you. unless because it was sent unsealed with
letter postage. I did not seal it thinking it would go
parcel post, and when the post office clerk said it must
havs letter post^e. I did not think to ask her to seal
it. I mailed it at the U-Street post office on the after-
noon of October 30th, the day your letter from Korbel came,
and two days before I received Z's letter with the same
request.
I have looked up the Potosaic electric bills and
they seeni to be all right. The one for $3 sent with my
letter of September 16, was "rendered Septraiber 15" for
Service chaise frcm July 23 - AiJigust 23
Bill rendered [July & Auguet, which I wac
not here to payj
$1.00
2>QQ_
Thifi does not appear to overlap the bill sent with my
letter of October 25, which was for "service charge
from August 23 to September 22" , so I have paid the
Noverrber bill (service charge from September 23 -
October 22) and am enclosir^ receipt.
I hope you-all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. If
I rerreiriber right, you consider Lagunitas the nicest spot
for such a festivity, and certainly you have much to be
thankful for in the line of work accomplished this year.
Yes, I regret to state that I have mission work
sufficient to last until the end of the year, and quite
a little left over to start the new year with*

Dear Dr. Merriarc:
I have your letter of December leth
with the two checks for $8.58 and $10. Thank you.
I do not in the least know whjsit you would like mie to
do about the memoranda for the Deceipber account, so I have
com.proffiieed on sendiiTg you copies of receipts, thinkir^
if you wished to make out the account in California, you
could write me to send -the originals to Wr. Adams. On the
other hand, if you leave California before this letter
arrives, the originals will be awaitir^ you here.
I also paid the enclosed bill for water rent at
1919-Sixteenth. and hope it was all right to do so.
"Early in January* is a most indefinite date. Wy
hair has grown quite gray in watching for you these past

Dear Dr. laerriam:
*
Thank you for yoar letter of August 5 and
for the check enclosed.
I think that you had expected me to send you the material on
which I had heen working, hut there was very little actually
completed at the time, almost everything lacking some small,
hut essential, item.
I am enclosing a summary of information ohtained in northern
California Indians, also the route of the Escalante Expedition
of 1776, as far as I have heen ahle to follow it on the land
office maps. The Geol gical Survey maps have heen completed
for the entire route , hut this lihrary has only a few of them.
The translation of this part ofthe Escalante diary, and the
extracts of Horthern California Indians, I suppose I would
hetter hring to you instead of mailing, to save postage!
1 had some difficulty in finding anything atout Auhry, whose
route in 1853, as I mentioned to you^ is shown on Britton &
Eey^s map, as touching the Colorado near the Virgin. At length

did not go north of the Colorado. His journal of this expedi-

Dear Dr. Merrlam:
I am sorry to report that I have found
no additional material to add to the list of ranoherlas
of the iiohave Desert region, etc. I did find however
that several Pi-ute "tribes" mentioned by Powell in his
report of 1873 were not included in the list I recently
made out at Lagunitas. As I have no way of checklne up
to find out why they were left out, I have nado out new
lists, separating this Pi-Ute material from the rest, and
listing it geographically, i am also including the
list of unidentified rancherias mentioned In San Gabriel
Mission records,

Dear Dr. Merriam:
Have you forgotten all about your office
force, or do you some times wonder what we are doir^?
Miss Grandy lopg since finished the few things you left for
her. and ha^ been checkir^, carding, and copyir^ the Bancroft
Library material for me. and she has carded the rancherias in
the nem material of the De la Cueeta MS vocabulary.
We have embraced the opportunity to translate the 26-page
Goldbaum MS on Indian Communities in northern Lower California,
which you secured several years ago, also some of my Bancroft
Library material which had not been touched* We get pretty good
results br- workir^ together this way. as she typewrites as fast
as I can translate, and checks up on my Erglish a little as we
go along*
We are glad for all the good reports that we hear of you,
and hope that you will be back very soon now*
I want to thank you for my check, which looked very good to
me this month*
Sincerely yours,
Dear Dr. Merriam:

I m sorry that you did not have the
Karok list. I hope that it did not delay yo\r trip up
there, and that it will reach you before you need it.
I sent also the carbon of the list of localities in Karok
territory, which on second thou^t I realize was ijuite un-
necessary as you must have the original.
You will be glad to know that I am very comfortably in-
stalled in the Library of Congrwe with a desk in a window
alcove aoKiaplace to work in the Manuscript Room.
The Spanish and Mexican collection is all that has been
reported of it. There are packages and packages and
packages of transcripts from the archives in Seville and
Mexico, all purchased since 1915. But alas they have never
been catalogued, and the packages are not labeled as to
subject , so each one has to be untied and inspected.
Fcrtuna:tely they are all typewritten, and as I am familiar
with the general form of Spanish documents, it takes very
little time to scan them.
They contain considerable California naterial, but as
yet I have found but little on the Indians. However I
believe they are worth while going over, for I have seen
(2)
much about the Indians of Mexico and Texas , and in all
probability there are the same sort of records about the
California Indians.
The collection includes all of Bolton's trans cripte from
the ?lexican Archives on Texas and New Mexico, some 300
documents. I went over them hastily and found a few items
of interest — the most important being the long-sought diary
of the e^qpedition on which our LaPora map was based. Con-
trary to Richnan's statement, however, the diary does not
mention the Pah^utahs , nor did this expedition go where
they weuld have been likely to have heard of them. Hence
Garces is still our first authority for the term, and from
the records thus far examined I am inclined to think the
P^ul^h^ were first knovm to the Spanish not many years
before Garces wrote of them.
I cannot tell now how Ion- it will take to examine the
entire collection. It all cfepends of course on how much
material I find.
I have not been at work at all the past week. I took
advantage of some cool weather to have a tooth pulled, and
it made me rather sick for a couple of days, I thought
I wo^ald beUer take some of ray vacation and recuperate.
My expenses for the month total $4.99 for which I
enclose sub- vouchers ($3.25 for carbon paper; $1.50 for
typewriting paper; and $0.24 for postage), I am also en-
closing a bill of $12.95 for cleaning and repairii^ my
(3)
typewriter.
Miss DocJge has a most exenplary record so far* You
will be relieved to learn that she now wears a spare tire
and that her mistress is spendii^ every Frida^^evening
tryir^ to learn the mysteries of her inward parts.
lly address for the next two months will be

Dear Dr. Merriam:
I have not very much to report this rronth. I am
still pe;xi^€ a-way at the Spajiish and lUexican transcripts aiA
have them nearly finished. I have found verj^ little material in
them, and am fearing that you will regret the time spent, but
there is no possible way of telling without looking into theni/
and even yet I may find a bonanza. There is certainly a good
deal about California. I have covered about 26,CX)0 pages thus
far. That does not mean of couxce that I have had to scan them.
Many of the titles or headings are sufficient to show that .the
contents are not of interest, and som.e of the packages prove to
have subject cards already miade out*
As this work is c[uite monotonous, I h^ave alternated by addiiig
to our bibliography from Cowan^s 'Bibliography of the Ristor}^ of
California — readir such things as seemed desirable. I have
read or scanned about 25 books*
In doing this I came across a reference to !5iss White's
Seminary, for vshich you asked last year. I am encloBiiig a note
on it, although I fear it is too late to be of use^
The package of vocabularies which you sent back via the Beileys,
I placed unopened in the dining-room safe, as the file cases in
the gar^e are locked. Mr?. Bailey said she t-ld ;-du about it
when she wrote you a few days after she received the package.
( CI anenc e-rerr i err 2 )
I congratulate you on the Keneste scoop. Your trip sounded
more thrilling than the hair-breadth escapes which are my daily
readirg. You will doubtless be pained to learn, however, that I
am not enough of a sport to regard any prize gained worth quite
that risk. Glad that Mon-r^.^ is settled.
T^ank you for the check for last month's expenses. I have
not had to spend any money for the office this month*
I don't believe that I know any Washington news that you have
not already heard from Tfrs. Bailey. I have not found the heat
particularly oppressive thus far. I am taking Frida^'^s and Satur-
days as vacation days, so that I get a real rest three days a
week alor^ with ray work. I like that better than taking it
all at once, partly because it gives Miss Dodge long drawn-out
opportunities and partly because I am afraid som.eone will want
the highly desirable desk I have here*
I am eager to hear of your next trip. I hope it proves
successful and safe#
My regards to the household. Wish I were there to experiment
the Laun-dry-ette,

Dear Dr* Merrieun:
A
I have not very crach work to report
this month as I decided to taJke the remainder of nay
vacation while the rest of the world was enjoying his.
As I recall my letters to you they seem to mention
vacation as often as work, but I have really taken only
the four weeks in all, and have enjoyed it ixmiensely.
I never realized before how beautiful this country is,
and I have had only spasmodic yearnings for California's
tawry hills*
I have finished the tramscripts from the Spanish
and ?fexican archives , and I hardly know i^ether to
laugh or cry -- to feel relieved that they are done,
or to be heartily sorry I ever undertook them, for T>hey
have yielded Ysry poor returns. You asked about
records of animal life. I found nothing at all except
a few records in Lower California •
The Liorary has a small miscellaneous collection
of manuscripts on California, and I am aoout to sti^rt
on them.

Dear Dr. Merriam:
I was verj' ^lad to get your note of
Septenber 20, and to know that things are going fair.ously.
All is well with me too, I believe. I had already turned
ny attention, as you suggested, to unread books, including
exf^loralion and travel, and am gettir^ some worth- whilethings.
The other day I ran across the 'Official Correspondence of
Jar.es S. Calhoun, Indian %ent St^iita Fe". published by the
Goverrment. 1916. The preface states the material was gathered
from files of the Office of Indian Affairs, and from the State
and War Departments, thus confirrring our idea that there is
available material there. With this information published, it
will be easier to ask for what we want, esi.ecially as it lists
tha nature or title of files consulted, and department in which
found.
Of the thxee item.8 checked on the clipping- fron; the Gough
catalog enclosed by you, one is a wild and woolly novel; another,
written from mem.ory in 1900, is not worth the price of $15, but
contains some facts of interest .which I have noted. The '.4ner

Dear Dr. Merriam:
The above is rry official desk in this insti-
tution. Not quite so desirable a one as I had last year, but
far preferable to none at all. I have Dr. Stock of Carnegie, who
is writing on International Law, on my left, the National Woman's
Party on my right, an investigator of Criminology in front, and
a German Jew back of me. I am trj'-ir^ to do full justice to fhe
combination.
This place is much occupied right now. So much so that they
send a monitor round three times a day to see if we are sitting
at our little desks. Hence I have taken no days off for investi-
gation c.t the War Library. In 'a few weeks it will be less
crowded here, and then I can go without danger of losing my- desk.
I have been making the bibliography of vocabularies, and doing
odds and ends of things such as the Yosemite list and typing over
the Lienhardt extracts, corrected from our English friend's trans-
lation.
I brdke the letter S on my typewriter last week, and have been
delaying this letter to include the bill for repairs, but the
work is not satisfactorily couple ted yet. Thus far two men have
made four trips here. They brought the wrong letter, broke their
type, then brought the wrong size type, and now the carriage needs
readjusting. I also had i and i substituted for some little used
accents. I know you will approve of that.

It is difficult to get firms to do any work proir5)tly now,
because they are all devotinr themselves to the Shrinera. Perhaps
ypu have heard that they are invading our fair city for the next
ten days. Nobody seems to be looking forward to tiieiB with any
* delight. There is a traffic regulation for almost everj'^ street, and
marines acting as traffic cops bob up in the most unexpected places.
Parking is prohibited in the whole downtown section fran B to K
and 6th to 20th streets, and no vehicles except street cars are
allowed on Pennsylvania Avenue from. 7 to 12 P.M. Last Se-turday
they pasted large yellow signs 'Hop in Noble* on the ?/indBhieldfl
of all cars parked downtown. I found them pasted in Besdemona twice
although I only left her for a few minutes at a time. It is too
bad you aren't here to enjoy it all.
You would like the weather though. This has been the coolest
May I have ever spent in Washington*
I suppose you have heard that Gertrude has loeen ven^ ill. She
is out of the hospital now, I hear, and has gone to Riverside.
Is Lagunitas as nice as ever? And have you been successful in
trips? I hope bh tyou are all well. Please remember me with love to

Dear Cr. MarriaxD:
I do not see what has becor^e of the Yoseamite
Geographic Lists. I did them the first thing after you left,
and ffiailed them to you fror;. the inain Post Office here on
May 5th (In stout inaalla envelope, sealed, letter postage 18
cents; but not registered as that office was closed when I got
there) . I have sent out a tracer for the package from this
post office, but hope it has reached you by now*
To be on the safe side however, I am mailing you (registered
this time) the carbon of the lists, to which I have added a few
itens discovered since I made them out, chiefly from Hittell's
•Yosemite, its l^ronders and Beauties,' 1868.
What an anazing amount of material you have secured for the
short time you have been gone. If you can keep up that pace it
will surely be a record season. And how fortunate j'^ou were in
witnessing the Wintoon ceremony .• If Zenaida. does not er.eige a

Out household has oeen havir^ a run of bad luck with its
autos. Sunday, Llr. Joe Kirk's Studebaker sedan came s;.eeding
down Lanier Place and bumped into Miss Dodge. I was starting
out from the curt) , but was not more than six inches beyond
the line of the outside wheel of the car parked in front of
me, saw him comirg, stopped for him to pass, and was much sur-
prised when the bump caioe, because he had plenty of time to
Clemence-Merriam 2
turn out and there was not a pedestrian or car moving in sight.
The Studebaker slapped little Dodge back parallel against the
cuA with her bumper neatly caught under both fenders of the
car in fronts and kept on for a hundred feet before the
chauffeur could stop. Mr. King's car had both fenders badly •
bent and the running board ripped through; n:ine a sirashed hub
cap, bent axle rod, and steering- ^ear jammed — repairs $16«64,
which Mr. King is pleased to pay. We both got ordered to court,
as a taxi driver saw the collision, ran for the comer traffic
cop, and made complaint against the chauffeur. The taxi driver
did not appear at court however, and Mr* King was most anxious
to settle out of court, which arrangement pleased me entirely,
as I didn't fancy spending that hot momir^ in the court- room*
It is not an attractive place.
Then the next day but one the front wheel of Dr. Baker's
Durant came off. Kobody hurt, but the front fender was quite
badly smjashed. They say the third time never fails, and we
are wondering what next*
I hope to mail you the receipt for tjrpewriter repairs
Monday. The bill had not been rendered, and I went down to see
about it this morning, but the office could find no record of
the work. The man in chai^ge said to let it go, but I
afraid it might be put on the bills of the Library of Congress,
and 3 0 insisted that they trace it.

Your letter of July 8 reached me Saturday*
In re^rd to the sending of the Yosemite lists about which
you ask ~ it did not occur to me to write a letter at the time
of mailing the lists, May 5, as it was material which I knew
you were eipectir^ to receive from me, aufid I didn't consider the
possibility of its getting lost. Your letter of June 4, telling
me of its non-arrival, I answered the day but one after receiving
it. That delay was due to my being at home sick 6uid unable to
go to the Library to get the cartons to send you* I noted then
that your letter had been a long time reaching me, and meant to
have mentioned it but forgot to do so*
Since I have been so sketchy and remiss in informing you of
w'nat I have been doing since your departure, I think I would
better summarize:
1* Bibliography of Indian Vocabularies.— About 900 entries
from Pilliqg^w Bibliographies: Athapaskan* Chinookan* Salishan.
Wakashan* Siouan. and part of the Algonkin. Still to do:
Iroquoian, Muskhogean> Eskimo, and whatever may be listed in
Filling's Proof Sheets, which I have not as yet been able to
secure here, althpugh the Library has a copy and I put in a
request for it regularly every week*
2* Books read. 52, about one-fifth of which prove to have
some material*
Clemence-Merriagn 2
3* California Newspapers.-- This Library has a good many files,
some of them quite complete and some only for a year or so, from
ia47 on — includirg the Califomian 1847-8, Democratic State
Journal 1861-8, il ta California 1851-?, California Pamer 1854 k
1860, Shasta Courier 1852, Ifaipire County Azigus 1854-5, Los Angeles
Star 1851-2, 4c.
They contain various items of interest on Grizzly Besurs, Indian
depredations (somstin^s with name of tribe or rancheria) , inhuman
treatment of Indians, ftc. I have found a couple of early references
to northern Pah-Utes : "Pah-Utahs or Piutes as they pronounce them-
selves" (August 13, 1852) i Murder of Capt. Woodward at the Big
CaBon 340 miles west of Salt Lake City by the'Tosointches, a
portion of the Pah Utahs* (June 5, 1852)- [Would these be the
Bhoshonean To- sow- witches?!
Have also found several items on Lieut. Moore's expedition
June-August 1852 a^inst the Indians of the Yeosemoty (spelled
also 0-som-me-tees 8i Osemites) , a large party of whom were re-
ported to have attacked miners leaving Coarse Qulch, killing 3.
I have not as yet found any report from Lieut. Moore on the sub-
ject, but of course hope I may. Which brings me to
4. War Records.— Have not located Lieut. Moore's report there
yet, although I have found several references which ought to help
and Miss Bondaller (to whom I was sent from the Adj utant- General *s
office) thinks she may be able to locate it. She has been away from
work for some time first on vacation auid then for sickness, so
I have not accomplished very much at the War College.
Clemence-Merriam 3
I have, however, gone over the reports of the Secretary of
War frcffli 1847-1860. They contain aome accounts of expeditions
against Indians, inhuman treatment by whites, !»• The publishad
correspondence of Greneml Wool and Secretary of War DuTis has
some thir^, among them Boninycas tie's report on the massacre of
Shastas at Klamath River, 1854; also a reijuest from the Adjutant-
General's Office to General Wool to forward report and mi^ of
eiploration made by Lieut. Tredwell Moore across the Sierra Nevada
by the Stanislaus River, and into the Great Basin in the direction
of the Vegas de Santa Clara. The published docxments of the
•Utah Expedition' contain 48 from Indian Office files (not pub-
lished in Indian Office Reports) including letters of Holeoan,
Day, Hurt, Brigham Young with material on Shoahones . Pi-utes
(Carson River, dated March 29,1852). Pa-nack. Gosh-ates 8tc).
iss Bondaller returns to her work today and I to the War
Collie tomorrow to examine what she hopefully terms 'documents
upstairs ' .
I have not spent any money for the office since you left
except for the typewriter bill .which I forwarded to you and
wuch was covered by the money you gave me before going away.
I have been absent from work 5 days, 2 for sickness and
3 of my 'leave' to entertain visiting friends.

Dear Dr. Merriam:
SinoQ retumii'g from my vacation September
first, I have been working continuously on the California news-
papers. There is quite a bit of material in them. I ajfn
covering the years 1846-1860. Of course there are too many
newspapers to read them all in the time it would be worth
to spend on it. But my plan has been to read, for any
given year, the San Francisco or Sacramento paper (sometimes
both) which I find published the nost correspondence from
different localities in California and to supplement that by
whatever newspapers the Library has which were published in
the smaller cities or towns.
Owing to the bulkiness of the material I found it necessary
to ask for assignment to a special desk with newspaper rack,
and therefore, have not wanted to interrupt the work to go
to the War Department. I will certainly arrar^e to do that
however before your return, or rather before November first,
which I suppose is as soon as Washington can hope to see you.
I have been much concerned over the fires reported in ?.Iarin
County. From our week old Chronicle. I gather that up to that
time you had not been actually bumed out and- that the fires
were probably under control, but I fear you have had a most
unhappy time, and I can't bear to think of all that glorious
couriliy being burned over. And poor Berkeley too*
I am enclosirg receipted bill for supplies ajoiountins to
$3.60, which is all the money I have had to spend.

Dear Dr. Merriam:
Thank you for your letter of October 7th with
e mlosed check for supplies porchasacL
It is good to think you will probably be here by the last of
the month. But I have no good news for you as yet about an office,
althoi^ I have been investigating ^artments quite intersively
since the middle of July.
We sold our Providence property this summer, and I have been
spending rrost of my spare moments looking for an apartment to
^rent or a house to buy, but with no results to date. First we
think we would like an apartment, because it is easier to take
care of — and I hunt and hunt until I am thoroughly convinced
it is cheaper to buy a house. Then I reverse the process. It
is amusir^ rather than aanoying, now that we have our furniture
stored, because we are confortable enough where we are, and in
no special hurry to get settled.
The apartment situation here is uncanny. All spring and
summer they have been building and building, both apartments
anci houses. Prices for both have been higher than ever before,
and the new finished apartments have remained practically empty.
Early in the sunmer the ii^onne (loth St. at Cclumbia Road)
was reported to be giving 3 months concession in rent, in order
to get the building occupied, so it would sell. It is now in
the hands of a receiver, I am told.
Everybody (except real estate agents) has said •Overproduction.
Clemenoe-Merriam 2
Bound to be a slump.* Wait until alter October first. Then there
will still be hundreds of vacant apartoienta with no prospective
tenants, and down will go the rates.' Well, it is after
October first, rates are as hi^ as ever, and there are not very imny
vacancies in either the old or the new buildir^. While hundreds
of shoddily built nevr houses have seemed to find purchasers.
Since receivir^ your leiter I have visited over two dozen
places where I thou£^t there mieht be possibilities for an office.
I axn enclosing a list which may give you some idea of what there
is — or is not. In the r.eantime I will keep on with the investi-
gation in HQT leisure moments,

Dear Dr. Merriam:
There were no Tacant
desks at the Library of Congress when I
applied on July 14. so I decided to take
such vacation as was left me after deduct-
ing the days I was out this spriJTg because
of Mother's sickness. I put in the time
restir^ on our country estate and riding
about the country. And I also errb raced
the opportunity to have some much-needed
cement work done about the house.
I received an assignment to "Table 151
in the North Curtain* on July 29. but for
the past three days I h .ve been in bed
with the worst cold tihat has befallen me
in years. I am feeling much better today
and shctll go to the Library tomorrow.
I suppose you are well started on your
summer's work. I hope you had a fine trip
out.
We are having Sixteenth Street done over
against your return. Detour from Florida
Avenue to Columbia Road for the next six
weeks.
Please ^ive my best rejards to rirs.
Merriam and Zenaida.
Sincerely,
Dr. C. Hart ?ierriam

Uy dear Dr« Iforriam:
I was delighted to get your letter of
August 15 and to hear something of how the work progresses.
You were indeed fortunate in getting so much material in such
a short time and especially in securing the complete 'History
of the Universe ••
Host of ny time during the month has been spent on Calif*
newspapers. going on from where I left off last year (1859), and
with about the same degree of success. I have also reduced
by about 10 the number of books to be scanned* The latter did
not contain so much of interest.
I an pleaded to report another publication of Jedediah Smithes
letter to General Clar&-a Gennan translation (congplete except
for date and heading) in a Genoan magazine /Columbus Oder
Americanische Uiscellen* (published monthly 1827-ie3l). The
number containing the Smith letter is June 1828.
I have also found the lor:6-80Ught Pinart •Studies on Calif.
Indians: On the Tcholovones of Chorris\ mentioned at length
by Kroeber in his •Occupation of Certain Regions by Uiwok
Indians'. It seems Kroeber published everything in Pinart's
article except the long JftfiKgCin? vocabulary^ and Pinart's
contention that Chorris was mistaken in calling the Indians
he described Tcnolovones. They were probably Kanakas, Pinart
says, for Chorris* description could not possibly apply to
the Tcnolovones, although there were probably some of the
Cletnence-Merriagi izl
latter in the Bay region, brought there by the miBsionaries, I
«
auBpeot the JadTikaxime rocabulary will prove to be the same
Piriart*8 MS vocabulary of the eame tribe which we had copied at
the Bancroft Library, and which, if I remercber correctly, you
found to be Yokut* The Pinart article was published in 'Revue
de Linguistique et de Philologie CoiHpareft!,Vol.27,pp.79-87,ie94.
In searchir^ for the Pinart article I was iinpreBsed with the
scarcity of North imerican materiaT in the numerous French
anthropological and philological journals from 1870-1900, I did
not hope for much in our territory, but I thou^t the rest of the
country would be well represented. I did find a short note on
the Mohaves by Pinart.
Another find that interested me was the use of the tens
Payouts and Pavots in a French edition (1845) of DeSmet's first
wort, 'Indian Tribes of the Rocky Mountains' (first published in
Philadelphia in 1843). The American edition says: ■The Sacipee tehee
are the next neighbors of the Snakes* ; the French edition: "The
Sampeetches. Pavouts and Ampavouts are the next neighbors of the
', And in another place the French edition includet Pavots
in a list of 1*^ tribes represented at a cerecony in 1841 at St.
Mary's Mission on the Bitter Root River. This list is omitted
in the jtoerican edition. If these could be taken to apply to
Northern Pan-ute, I believe it is our earliest reference thus far.
My eipenses for the month have not been heavy: $1.40 for carbon ^
for which I enclose sales slip. You reKOciber you said I might
purchase it at the 'House' store, even though we could get no
receipt there. It seems better than what we have been using and
costs less than half.

My dear Dn Merriaa:
TJiank you for your letter ol September 21
enclosing check for $1.40 azki list of book notices.
It is odd that the Unirersity Press at Berkeley coula not
locate Goddard*8 "Habitat pf the Wailaki\ It foxms contribur
tion 6 (pp. 95-109) of the*Fhoebo iipperson Hearst Memorial
Voluii»\ which is Vol*20 of the University of California
Publications in American Archaeology and Ethnology, Unit* of
Calif. Press. Berkeley, 1923. The price of the vol. is $5^
and I think you ordered a copy before you left for California.
At least you looked over a list of its contents and said we
must have it. It includes articles on Calif. Indians by
Faye, Preeland. Gifford, Jones. Kroeber. Lowrie. McKem. Merrill,
Hatches, Sapir. Spier, and Waterman.
The book notices were unusually interesting. I am returning
tJhe list with brief reports.
I think you would like to own Cartwright's •Western Wild
Animals*. The Library of Congress copy (Toledo. 1875) is a
second edition. I did not find the date of the first edition.
Carbwright was a gaide and hunter, and the book is a natural
history written by Mary F. Bailey, A, M. , based on
Cartwrij;;iht'3 personal eg^rieaees and filled in with material
fromW-od's •Mammalia*, Chambers' Encyclopedia, txc^ Cartwright'i
description of his journey to California contains many hunting
notes and accounts of difficulties with Modoc Indians at Goose
Lake and a 3ubse:iuent exx^edition sent out against these Indians
Clemeno6--Merriaa 2_
from Yreka in which 50 of the Indians were killed* The book
also includes several accounts of hunting trips to various
regions^
The Duhaut-Cilly is an Italian translation of a French
work (published in 1835) which I have just finished readi^g•
Duhaut-Cilly eas a French merchant who traded along the coast
of Upper and Lower California from October 1826- August 1828,
and he devotes more than half of a 2-volume account of his travels
to his California experiencea and observations. His descriptions
of Indians are confined to those of the Missions, but there
a ^ood many intereatia^ items which I am about to translate,
campaign
the Indians*
The i>irector7 of Placer County and Qgden^s Anerican Indian
Life are in the Library of Congress but are ''out*. I will
look for them daily and report on them as soon as they come in*
Edwards' California in 1857 is not in the Library of Congrese ,
and the only copy given in the Union Catalog (which includes
a record of books of 8 of the most rnportant libraries in the
H. S. ) is one at the Heniy E. Huntington Library at San Gabriel*
By the way, I saw in a recentd»^cription of th^ Huntirgton
Library that its manuscripts include "the Fort Sutter papers,
long lost, but recently brought to light*, also 33 autograph
letters of Father Kino, lately purchased.
I have been working along the same lines as last month, with a
fair degree of success* There is nothing which stands out as
specially important, arri as I would like to set this letter olf as
ebon as possible, I will not stop to enumerate*
I have spent no official money and the weather is atrocious .
Respectfully. ^^^^ ^^^^^

Ify dear Br. ?ierriam:
Rain in California and snow in Washington
These should oe indications of your return, and I have been
expectir^ you daily since the i irst of the month, the more
since I r^uye not heard from you recently. Vtnioh is my
apology I or not :i..vin_- sent you sooner a report of last mc/ith'e
«
work.
I finished ^he California file of newspapers to 1869, and
decided Lhc4.t as a reward oi merit I might scan the early
Missouri newspapers, 'Missouri Republican', &o, ostensibly
for manniaLi, but really in the hope that there would be some-
thing ragardir^ our friend Jedediah or the elusite Piute. I
found last nothing at all on the^^e last two, rxl though the
papers . junded in material on Arikiras, Pawnees, Cherokees,
and the like. But Niles' Register, a compilation of news
historical, geographical, •scientifical* , &c, which is in-
dexed, and which I went orer from 1819-1849, gaye enough notes
-^n mammals and fur trade to warrant he time exj^ended.
I hare also examined a couple of shelrea of books on tne
activities of the Hudson's Bay Company, but frand noi.iir^
conce/Tiing I'orthern California. And I have gone over the
Spanish transcripts received by xhe Libran^ of Congress the
past year. I found nothing of value, but it took only
C 1 erne nee -Me rr jam
0
a scant half day.
I a/r. 3orrv thut I have not been able to get hold of
Ogden's book on A^'erican Indian Life. Someone seems to
be using it.
I a/n jus-o sbartint; on America,n Historical Ivl,_ zines.
So far I have found an overland journal with ^- few notes
on the Indians of Humboldt River and a lorg historj^ of
the Mormon Church by one of its officials, which quotes
copiously from Erigharn Young's MS historj^ and journal
and has sone notes on Indians.
I hope t^liat you are all well, and that your delay in
returning only means another bonanza. Or perhaps you
are stopping to explore those ancient villages mentioned
by Jedediah Smith and recently discovered by Mr. Harrington
My 'leaae* on the Libran^ of Congress desk expires
today, but I think I shall have no trouble in renev7ing it.
Verj^ truly yours,

We are here in Berkeley for the rest of the nonth
and should like to make our trip over into Karin County at
a time that would s.iit your convenience. Probrbly a day is
all that V. e can give to this, but if you are in the West at this
time we should certainly like to see you and have a chance to
learn a little more of your wonderful region. If your time

Dear sir;
I am shipping bt Parcel Post one grizzly bear skull which was
killed in May at Canim Lake about 100 miles south of here about latitude

I wish to thank you for your reference to Mr Nelson regarding
the pictures .
Prom the way winter has commenced it makes one wish that he

My dear Dr, Merriam; -
I have two grizzly skulls that I can send you if you
are still lookimg for skulls. One a mature male which I found but
with lower jaw missing, otherwise in good condition .The other a fema
le which I shot between the eyes at four ft in selfe defence.
The bullet did not enter the brain but ranged into the
throat and I left all the flesh on that would cure. She was fully
mature but small and had three yearlings with her.
I have never seen the grizzlies so pleantiful since
I came , I saw nine in ten days and several other tracks.
I am certain from the observations that I have made
that these grizzlies migrate, over what range I tti unable to state ,
but I again heard the call I wrote you about before as this one
called three different times to her cubs . In fact that was the way
I located tham* I cralled to within forty ft of them trying to get a
live plctureand did succeed In snapping them as the y charged at
about thirty ft- but the picture is not much good owing to my haste.
I would likr to jet your book on bears if you would kindly gl\je
me the address*

Dear Dr. Merrlam:
Interest you.
I have a grizzly skull which I think may perhaps
A snail bodle*, light haired grizzly, with a wide
head and short legs seems to be drifting Into this country. it
seems, from all reports to also be more aggressive than our usual
grizzly. This skull I have has comparltlvely no rldg© like the
ones i have had before. The man who killed this grizzly claims
It charged him, which Is likely, as It was protecting a cache of moos«
If you want this grizzly skull,! shall ship It as
soon as I hear from you.

I had the closest call in my experience
last spring . A wounded grizzly charged me and I fired and
failed to stop it . I tried to Jab the gun down its throat
but missed and as the gun slid off Its face, I grabbed the
I
bear by the nose to "keep from going oikop of it .My dog
grabbed it from behind at this moment and I got away with a
torn hand . If you have ever tried to run thru thick alders

Mjr dear Dr. Merrlam,
After the Inspiration of such pleasant work v/lth
you In the Spring I started Immediately after your departure
to master the Intricacies of shorthand, v/ith the result that
I am nov; -ulte efficient in It. I am theref c- >. -.3 turning to
the source of my inspiration and askin/5 if I cannot be of
assistance to you v;hen you return to Washlnf:.ton? I have
thoufTht of you quite frequently during the summer and v/ondered
If you added many words to your Indian Vocabulary while in
Death Valley. I shouldn't om.it the fact that I have thought
of the Bear Manuscript also, but with your many activities I
feel quite certain that you have not had an Instant to put on
that. However I hope to take up that work with you ^ ain In
the Pall, and If you will let me know the date of your return,
approxlmcately, I shall be glad to join you In Washington.
Please remember m.e most cordially to Mrs. Merrlam.
Sincerely yours.

Mow since October is so rapidly approaching, I am
beginning to think even more of your return and of my work^
I suppose this suggestion is superfluous, but I think it will
simplify natters for both of us if you will drop me a line
just before leaving California so that I can be in Washington
ready to begin work and yet it will prevent my spending many
idle days there.

liy dear Doctor Itorriamt
I have thou^t of you so auoh since you hare been in
California and wondered about your nork, that I decided to
drop you Just a line.
It got hot here so soon after you left in the Spring
that I feared it ivould not be oonduciTe to your best success,
althou^ I do hope that you were able to add many new words
to your vocabularies*
Both Mrs. Barto and I were very successful in getting
positions. I an working fbr the company which you see on
the letterhead. It is a Chicago organisation^ bub with
temporary offices here in Washington for some special work*
If I remain with them I will more to Chicago. However, I
am not quite certain that I want to take up peramnent resi-
dence there.
As I stated above, this is just a friendly note to tell
you that I have not forgotten you, and wish you all success.
Knowing how busy you always are, let me say that it does
not require an answer. Please remember ma to Mrs. Merriam.
Very sincerely yours.

An English Industrial Town in
Time of War
/
"Sweet fplend," he said, "what thou sayest It better than
well; for time shall be, If we come alive out of this pass of
battle and bitter strife, when I shall lead thee into Burgdaie to
dwell there. And thou wottest of our people that there is little
strife and grudging amongst them, and that they are merry, and
fair to look on, both men and women; and no man there lacketh
what the earth may give us, and it is a saying amongst us that
there may a man have that which he desireth save the sun and
moon in his hands to play with; and of this gladness, which is
made up of many little matters, what story may be told? Yet
amongst it I shall live and thou with me; and ill indeed it were
if it wearied thee and thou wert ever longing for some day of
victorious strife, and to behold me coming back from battle
high-raised on the shields of men and crowned with bay; if thine
ears must ever be tickled with the talk of men and their songs
concerning my warrior deeds. For thus it shall not be. When
I drive the herds it shall be at the neighbours' bidding whereso
they will; not necks of men shall I smite, but the stalks of the
tall wheat, and the boles of the timber-trees which the wood
reeve hath marked for felling; the stilts of the plough rather than
the hilts of the sword shall harden my hands; my shafts shall be
for the deer, and my spears for the wood-boar, till war and
sorrow fall upon us, and I fight for the ceasing of war and trouble.
And though I be called a chief and of the blood of chiefs, yet shall
I not be masterful to the goodmen of the Dale, but rather to my
hound; for my chieftainship shall be that I shall be well beloved
and trusted, and that no man shall grudge against me. Canst
thou learn to love such a life, which to me seemeth lovely?" —
William Morris, Roots of the Mountains; p. 144.
AN ENGLISH INDUSTRIAL TOWN IN TIME OF WAR
The following account reached me in a private letter from
my brother, Mr. Douglas Cockerell, of Letchworth, England. The
letter is dated November 26, 1914. I have taken the liberty of
having it printed, believing it to be of general interest.
— T. D. A. Cockerell, Boulder, Colo.
You may like to hear how the war affects a small industrial town in
England. Letchworth* has a population of about 9,000, mostly industrial.
There are about twenty large factories. When war was declared trade was
sadly dislocated. The railways were all taken over by the Government,
and for a time there was some difficulty in getting through supplies.
The railway service is now normal, and there is little difficulty about
transport. At first, most of the workshops and factories went on half-
time, and it looked as if we should have great distress. A fund was
raised, and a local distress committee formed, and the more urgent cases
of distress were relieved. Some 300 men joined the army, and relief for
their families had to be arranged for. There are allowances for the
families of soldiers from the Government, but in many cases these are
inadequate, and have to be supplemented from other sources. Most of the
employers allow half wages to men joining the army. Now trade is better,
and there is actually a considerable shortage of labor in certain trades.
The women are worst hit, and many are on short time. We have started
a workroom to make clothes to relieve these workers, and incidentally
to teach them to make better clothes for their children than they are
accustomed to do. For the most part, the younger girls can manage on
the reduced wages, but in certain cases some relief has to be given. We
fear that later on unemployment may be more serious, and we are taking
steps to organize schemes of relief work for both men and women.
The police having a lot of extra work thrown on their hands, a large
force of special constables has been formed; there are about 100 here.
I am one. We have to take regular police duty at any time of the day or
night, and have to get the statistics required by the War Office. In case
of invasion, most elaborate plans have been made. Invasion is not likely
to occur, but as it is possible, precautions have to be Uken. In addition
to the special police, there is a force of voluntary guards that can be
taken over at any time by the War Office.
Marion and I have been specially concerned with the conversion of
our house into a hospital. I enclose a postcard of our house, and one of
Marion's house, showing a little wooden house we built for the children.
All hospitals being taken up, there was a great difficulty in getting hos-

in recent years. — ^T. D. A. C.

pital beds for the civil populaUon, and the dislocation of trade and conse-
quent difitresa among certain sections of the workers made the necessity
for hospital treatment more urgent than usual. Our house has room for
twelve beds, and the expenses of maintenance will be about £500 a year.
There are eight paUents at present, two of them wounded Belgian sol-
diers. We want to be able to take some of the local men who have been
wounded. There is great diflftculty about money, as nearly everybody's
income has been reduced, and the calls are incessant. People have been
splendidly generous on the whole. There is no scarcity of food, although
the prices are in some cases increased.
There is another body in Letchworth, looking after the refugee
Belgians. A very difficult matter. We are trying to find them useful
work, but some won't work, and some are too depressed and shaken to
make the necessary effort We have about fifty here of all sorts. They
quarrel a good deal among themselves, although we have had less trou-
ble with ours than they have had in some other centers. We have to
raise a good deal of money to keep these people, but everyone does what
he can, and at present we are managing well.
The shadow of war is over us all, and ordinary things seem to be of
but litUe importance. I think that, on the whole, there is greater friend-
liness between classes. Many who were well-to-do before the war are
now without money; while some are doing well by the increase of trade
in certain directions. Petty things have lost their importance, and the
tendency is for people to take a larger view of life. E^veryone is anxious
to do what they can, and if many of the efforts made are useless in them-
selves, those making the sacrifice are the better for it.
The war is awfuL I fear that the horrors reported from Belgium
have been but Uttle exaggerated. The Belgians here have seen unbe-
lievable horrors, and some of them are nearly out of their minds.
Nearly every one one knows seems to have lost a relative or friend,
but in spite of this, the general increased friendliness born of common
trouble makes a general kindly atmosphere that is not on the whole de-
pressing, but rather stimulating. Women who a few months ago were
semi-invalids, are putting in eight to twelve hours a day at really hard
work at the hospital or reUef work rooms; while men who, under ordinary
circumstances, would grumble at the slightest break in their usual com-
forUble lives, are tramping the streets as special constables for four or
five hours in any weath^ and at any time of the day or night
of
of
5n.

Dear Dr. Merriam,
I am returnini herewith proofs of
tw» Plate* for slight corrections as indicated;
the others are all right. I do not think the
numbers are very ,«uch $00 large, but you must
use your own judgment about it. Can you order
the extra hundred copies for me? I shall have
the proof of the text ready to send you on Mon-
day.
Very sincerely.

Bear Dr. Merriam,
I am sending you by this mail the
eorrected proofs of the nemertean article, fhe
printer has made the species headings of a thin-
ner type than was used in the first paper, but I
presume it is uniform with the other articles of
this volume* 1 have made a note of this at the
top of galley 2, which you can crpss ou
all right as it stands*
Very sincerely.

Dear Dr, Merriaa,
In looking over the reprints of Dr.
Evans's article in the H. A. B. volume r I notice
that they have neither date nor place of publica*
tion anywhere on the cover or title page. Of
course it makes no difference in regard to this
particular article, fo^ it would naturally be quoted
from the Proc. Wash. Acad. , but those papers which
have not already appeared in the proceedings will
need to have date and place of publication either
on the title page or cover, I should think. Prob-
ably ^ou have already thought of this, but I want
to be sure that you have.
I hope we may hear the good word in regard
to the timely appearanoa of «y own article before
ong. With best wishes.
/P<S^
Kew Haven, Conneotiout

Dear Dr. Merrian,
The reprints of the Nemertean article have cone safely
to hand, and I am very much pleased with the very fine way in which it has
been publishea. I feel greatly indebted to you for your efforts to give
the volume a fine appearance and I congratulate you upon your success. I
very proud to have had a hand in this very imposing series of volumes.
Very truly yours.

My dear Mr. Merriam:-
Mr. I^lbert tells us that you a«e a?aln at La;;unitas.
It is our regret that you came after we hai lett'fnverBess for'the season.
Perhaps, howetver. we can see you In town. Will you tell Mrs. Merrlan, and
v.enaida for me that It will crive me very -j^at pleasure If they will let me
kn'J^h^they are to be In the City so that they can lunch with me at the
Club. It is very central, on Stockton, near leary. I am In the City very
often, and shall hope In this way to have a hnk- of a visit with them.
In the meantime may I ask a question of you. My sister is very
much interested in a young woman who has been, is now, doln? some desl-n-
m? for Sloane. She has done some very remarkable painting of flowers, etc
There setfms here a very limited field for such work as she can do. Some
one su<T?ested that the lovernment had need of what she could offer. I
told my sister that you would know If that were true, and would know to
whom Miss Solomon should apply. I de not want to trouble you at all in
the matter, but would appreciate it if you could make any su|^sUon^as^ ^^
to the course to pursue if jrou think the Smithsonian Institute ^has
need of such work. Miss Solomon's friends feel that her work speaks for
1 tself i*-4-4-Raewhenever it reaches any one in need of it.
Hopln? soon to see you.
With sincerest regards to^ou all,
I am, yours cordially.

My dear Dr. Merrlams
I am enclosini copies of the photos of Hetch Hekchy
which I have just succeeded In getting: copied. I hasten to send these
folJinj^ them because I have just time to get them In this mall thinking
that y0u may need tdem at once. I will send copies to morrow more care-
fully preserved. I am enclosing: a reply to a Call editorial which I
have just written. You will note the remarks of Prof. Marx of Stanford
before the Commonwealth Club. Prof. Marx is thoroughly reliable and the
Commonwealth Club is the highest type of oivio club in San Fyanoisco.
After reading the proceedings of that Club on this water question any
fair minded person cannot fail to oonolude<jt that there is not enough data
available on the water supply question and it may prove upon investiga-
tion that the Hetoh Hetohy scheme is not all that the proponents olaim
even if the government would grant the rights.
I enclose a printed pamphlet showing the offer of the Bay Cities
Company which is backed ud by a bond or rather which they offer to back
up by a sufficient bond if accepted, guaranteeing the supply of water
offeredp
With best wishes, I am. Very sincerely.
Kindest regards to Mrs.Merriam.

November 21, 1907
Editor of the "Call'S
San FranolBco, California.
Dear oiri-
I was interested in yoixr editorial of November 19,1907t
entitled 'A Long Kange friend of Spring Valley," "but, in a friendly
imy, I take issue with you on your views there set forth and trust
that in the interest of fairness, you give some publicity to this
coraruunioation.
I agree th/:^t Sen Franoisoo is in need of an increased imter
supply or soon will "be. X am not so certain tliot it is necessary
to leave the Peninsula and Trans-Bay region for that supply. Llany
eminent authorities, Professor George Davidson, among them, claim
that supply can he obtained in the imnediate vicinity of 3an Fren-
cisco v^hich will suffice for a great many years to come. Be tho^t
as it may, and assuming that we must go elsewhere for an increased
supply, the question resolves itself into the simple pi^position as
to whether it is necessary to utilize the Hetoh Hetchy Valley for
storing th^ t supply.
I maintain thr^.t no such necessity exists and uliat, on the
contrary, there is great doubt as to vrhether the Hetch Hetchy
supply is the best one from an economic str^.ndpoint.
You are familiar with the transactions of the Corrunonwealth
Club of this wity and of course Imow th'^^t a municipal water s\jpply
was the subject of discussion in June of this year. Any one
reading the proceedings of those meetings and consulting the data
presented, r^ho is not alread^y prejxidiced in favor of any partic\ilar
system will admit tiiat it has not yet been satisfactorily establish-
ed thD.t the ILetoh Hetchy syste i is the best avedlable. Professor
C. D. ilarx of Stanford University in his opening paper states that
"It can readily be sho^-vm th-i^.t the drainage area needed for,
"a water supply capable of fiLrnishins 200,000,000 gallons per
"day can be had on a number of Sierra streams. *#^<» Tha.t the
"draina.ge areas of streams north of the iuolumne give better
"promise of meeting these requirementB cannot be denied. <♦#<»<»•
"It oannot "ba tiaid that th© physloal data now aTaila^ble are suoh as
«to admit of a rallaljle comparison oftthe relative values of the
••various sources of water supply for ban Francisco from the Sierras."
It must also be kept in mind that the further North we go to Qet a
supply? the less likely \ve are to interfere with the needs of irrigation-
Ists*
If the Hetch Hetchy supply were the only one atfeilatle or tfen if no
other suaply could "be secured except at a large increase in expense thene
would "be some groxxnd for xirging the destruction of the "beautiful park-
like floor of the Hetch Hetchy Valley and the alteration of the natural
"beauty of the grandest of the scenic features of the Yosemite National
Park next to the Yosemite Valley itself*
William Keith, the Artist, ban Just returned frcxa a trip to the
Hetch Hetchy Valley end he says that in certain features the iietch Hetchy
Valley surpasses even the Yosemite*
You state in your editorial that Uie beauty of Hetch Hetohy Valley
will be enhanced by the creation of a reservoir* vvhy then do you not
advocate turning Yosemite Valley into a reservoir? John Moir, the
greatest authority on the scenic features of the Sierra differs from you
most en5)hatically and considers that it would be one of the greatest
crimes of the century to dam^ Hetch iietchy Valley* who is more compe-
tent to pass on the ^ aestion than he? I am acquainted vvith hundreds 6t
persons who have visited the Hetch Hetohy Valley and with two or three
exceptions (and the exceptions are those to whom pure wildness vn& scenic
grandness do not appeal) they are unanJuiO-us in conaernning the proposition
to convert the Valley into a reservoir*
Consider what would result* 'iJhe proponents of the scheme claim,
in otder to quiet the objecting irrigationists below, that they will not
interfere with the summer and fall flow of the Tuolumne^ Shent of
necessity, the stored waters of the Hetch Hetchy reservoir must be drrwii
from and its level lowered leaving exposed the unsightly margin which
necessarily exists in such cases and exposing at its upper end extensive
mud flats* And this will be enhancing the beauty of the vo.lleyl
As a matter of faot the hetoh Hetohy Valley w»e aet aside with the
rest of the wonders of the Yosemite National Park as a plaoe of public
recreation for the entire nation. San Franoisoo baa no more ri(iht to
enter its seored preoinct© and joaterially change those ecenio features
which helont; to the Nation at large than has any oohcr of the many
local ccHffiniunitieB in California.
To damn Ketoh Hetohy Valley will mean to aeatroy some of the most
wonderful ooinp ground in the world, interfere r.xth the travel on the
many trails that lead from different portions of the Park and center in
this Valley and completely hlook the entrance to the grand canyon of the
Tuolumne which contains some of the most wonderful scenic features of
the ^ark.
the Park.
And all of this la advocated in the face of the fact tliat It la not
necessary to go to the H«toh Hetohy Valley for a iiater supply since there
at least half a dozen other avallahle propositions.
?^®^ ftriend the iJentinel is "a long Range Friend of Spring Valley"
then Muir and all the rest of us obstructing "sentlmentaliste" onxst
also he counted in with that circle of friends.
Very sincerely.

Dear Sir:-
The response to our letter regarding the purchase
of the Soda Springs property in the Tuolumne Meadows, has "been most
generous. Enough members have agreed to take an interest in the prop-
erty to make its acquisition an assured fact. Ur. Muir, Mr. Parsons
and the writer have mutually agreed that we will make up any deficiency
in the amount subscribed, with the expectation that others, particu-
larly new members, will in the future be able to relieve us of any
unequal burden. At the present writing it does not seem that this
deficiency will be great. The time remaining in which to complete
the purchase is short and we will consider it a favor if you will send
us as soon as possible the amount you have subscribed, made payable to
the "Sierra Club". A temporary receipt will be sent you for the
amount and after the purchase has been effected, a more formal acknowl-
edgment of your interest in the property will be delivered to you,
probably during August.
We are happy to say that this proposal to acquire this important
property in the name of the Sierra Club for the public interest has
met with the hearty approval of Lieut. Col. H. C. Benson, former Super-
intendent, and Major W. W. Forsyth, present Superintendent, of the Yo-
semite National Park. It has been suggested that in time it may be
possible to establish some sort of headquarters en this property where
members of the Club will find accommodation and will thus be able to
make trips to this central point from the Yosemite Valley and thence
easily reach the surrounding region. This may afford a solution for
taking care of the increasing number of applicants whom we are unable
to accommodate on our annual outings. We thank you most sincerely
^\^or the interest you have shown in this matter.
Very truly yours.

Dr. C» Hart Merriam,
1919 - 16th Street,
Washington, D» C.
Dear Dr. Merriam:-
My delay in replying to your letter of
January 11th, with relation to names in the High
Sierra, would be inexcusable were it not for the fact
that I have been away from San Francisco twice since
receiving it, and professional work accumulated so that
I had to put these other matters aside until the greatest
pressure was over*
I do not see any particular objection to the
names suggested, but it occurred to me that it might be
desirable for you to ireply to these men and state that
before finally passing on these names you would suggest
that they submit them to the Committee on Names of the
Sierra Club for report by that committee. We have a
committee consisting of Professor Le Conte and two or
three others, who are making a study of Sierra names,
and whose opinion would have considerable weight.
I hope to see you out here this sximmer.
With very best wishes to yourself and Mrs,
Merriam and yovir daughters, I remain
Sincerely yours.

My dear Dr. Merriam:
I sav; Mr. aibert this rnorning and he tells me
that you are already at Lagimitas. I hope to drop in and say
hello on one of my trips to Inverness.
Am. enclosing; herewith
certain correspondence which I kno-/ will interest you and which
arose throun;h the fact that I sent a copy of yow letter to
Miss Harwood, who is one of the active vorkers to secure the '
Palm. Canyon National Monument and who has agreed to contribute
to the am.ount to be paid the Indians in the event they can be
induced to relinquish their claims. She admitted that they
had/VM^^entionA:he other canyons, but she feels that the local
Indians hav^e, for a great many years, made no practical use
of these canyons and that the am.ovmt offered them in compensa-
tion would bring to the Indians far more material results than
the ov/nership of the canyons themselves.
With veryjbest good vvishes to yourself and
yo\ir family, I remain.
Sincerely yours

Alfred Hongst, well known llaTfleiran of Three divers, reports having seen the
California Grizzly Bear which was several times not^d belov; Iloro lock last spring
by Small»s road crew.
:.Ir. Ken^st was rustlin-^ cattle near V.ishart Mil on the "inerol King road last
week when he saw viiat at iic«t anpeared to be a pair of donkey's ears above the brusn
Soon a huge bulk moved below the ears and ::r. Hengst says: '*It \.a5 the biggect thing
I ever saw - bigger than any cow, and looked as though sprinkled -vith snow^. I ha-i' a
clear view of the beast which \ -is undoubtedly a grizzly."
Last spring this Grizzly \;as seen several times near Sm^al^s ro:ji camp and that
was the first record of a Grizzly in this part of Gulifornia or for that mitter ariy-
where in California for ten or tv enty years. As no depredations have beun rer)ort<jd
it is evident that this "L-st of the Griz::lies'' is not only Wc.ry but has learned that
there is danger in making himself offensive. There are many Grizzlies iii the Yellow-
stone National Park, vmere they are harmless c.nd often seen. It is hoped that this
lone specimen of the California Grizzly i-nay also be left unmolested.; then he may be-
come taiao enough to visit the Giant Forest Bear Pit as it is possible he diJ. a year
or two -go. Sever 1 visitors re:;>orted having seen ... huge grey be r t tiie old Bear

Dr. C« Hart Merrlam,
1919 - 16th Street,
Washington, D. C.
My dear Dr. Merrlam :-
Was glad to hear from you, and am enclosing
herewith additional data with relation to this grizzly
hear possibility. In line with this Information, I was
talking with^Mr. Jesse B. Agnew, whom perhaps you know
as a very loyal member of the Sierra Club, who recently
presented eighty acres of land on the floor of the Kings
River Canyon to the Club, and he told me that he was
quite certain that he killed a grizzly bear at his
mountain cattle ranch at Horse Corral In August of 1922#
The Sierra Club came throu^ there early In August, and
Mr. Agnew entertained the entire outing party at a
wonderful barbecue. He told us at that time that he
was having a great deal of trouble with a bear which
came Into his corral every few nights and would kill
and carry off a calf. The day we were there a calf was
lying In the corral pretty well torn up from a raid of
the night before, but he hoped It would recover, though
he told me later It did not« Several days after the
Club left he and a nephew of his, now living in Korea,
started out after this bear and killed It. He felt
quite certain It was a grizzly, and having been a cattle-
man off and on all his life In this very region, and a
man of mental ability, his information would be worth
more than that of the ordinary mountaineer. He thinks
he can get the skull for me, which he buried near the
place where they killed it, but of course this would be
sometime next summer. Will It be worth while to go to
this trouble? The ski» Is In Korea. Would it be
Important enou^ to have this skin sent back If It were
possible to get it?
I was very much pleased with your powerful
report on the change of the name Mt. Ranier. I certainly
hope that this will end the matter, but in view of the
Dr» Cm Hart Merrlam*
- 2 -
activity of our deluded friends in Tacoma I am afraid
that it Is going to be an endless problem.
With kindest personal regards and best wishes
for a happy holiday season and the years to come to
yourself and dill of your family, I remain
Sincerely yours.

Dear i^r. Merriam:
We have received your order for a
copy of :.r. Parqxihar's Exploration of the Sierra Nevada
together with your check. The copies that the Sierra
Club secured last Spring were completely sold out
sometime ago and upon inquiry at the California His-
torical Society we find that the edition is exhausted.
I thereupon called up Mr. Farquhar and he says that
since it is for Dr. Merriam he will gladly part with
one of his own fev; remaining copies. In this way
we are able to fill your order. The copy is going
forward to you under separate cover.
You may be interested to know that
the Sierra Club is planning to publish in separate
book form, sometime early in the Spring, the series of
place names of the High Sierra that Mr. Farquhar has
prepared for the Sierra Club Bulletin and which has
been published during the past three years. We shall
probably publish only a limited edition and have not as
yet determined v/hat the price will be, but notices
will be sent out in the course of time.
Cordially yours.

I have recently received some very

highly and I wish to thank you for rembering me in this
connection. I have spent four months out of the last
five in Butte Montana where I was engaged in some mining
litigation. Once it got down to 50* below zero, so you
can imagine my appreciation of California and my delight
in returning to the Bay region once more.
With kindest personal regards to
yourself and Mrs. Merriam, I remain
Very sincerely yours.

My daar Dr. Merriam,-
I have this afternoon sent you the MS., drawings, etc.
of my paper on the Pycncgonida of the West Coast. There were so man^
delays and interruptions, so that sometimes I would not be able to touch
it for a week at a time, that I sometimes aliiost gave up hope of getting
it finished at a^l this spring. The drawinpjs arc arranged on plates so
as to be reduced one-third. The photographs win have to be reduced dif-
ferent amounts, so that I could not arrange them in plates. I have
»
numbered then, however, in the order in which they are to come, and I suppose
the eneravers can put then into plates. I hope they will not reduce them
any more than is necessary, as I do not think they will show up well if
too small. In order to allow them to take their choice I have sent the
original negatives as well as mounted prints. There are also some duplicate
prints. I should like to have the negatives returned to me whether they
are used or not, I trust this will reach you in tine.
Sincerely yours,

put in those Xor the foui hellotype plates as I have no proof of them.
I went In and saw Ax. oochayna, but everything/ was out at the factory,
so that I could not tell what figures are on what plates. la promices
prooi of these soon, so I shall i^a ai^ia to aoo the references on the pa^e-
prool of tne text.
1 see the list of species alsoussea bas oean omitted under tna
"Systeiuatic aiicusslon of species'* in tne ''contents." Proa, experience It
seeiTis to aia that soaia kind of an Index Is needed for finding things reaally
even in a paper of tnis ienith, aiio unless tnere Is soaie special reason
for not aoln^ so, it wouiu ue my preference to hava It put in. I aoi
returning the first page of taa copy, and laava tne matter ior your aeci^ion
I hope you'll have a pleasant sammar In the West.

Bon. Hlraa W* Johnson ,
ladhlnctcn, D. C.
Uy dear Senator Johnson:
The bill drafted by the Caillornla Indian De-
fense agencies and tne Coamonwealth Club Is now ready
for Introduction. Very great care has been taken la
drafting It and Dr. C. Hart Kerrlaa has been working
on It rcr ten days In flashing ton «
Mrs. Kahn will Introduce It In the House and
It Is earnestly hoped that you will Introduce it In
the Senate.
The bill Is drafted In such a aianner that it
explains itself. It is in effect a substitute for the
Court of Clalas bill that has been hanging fire during
Mmy sessions of Congress and which, it appears, can
not be enacted sa^e with provisos that make it ultl-
tely useless to the Indians or to the State.
Dr. Herrlaft and I are of course Aost anxious to
dismiss the neasure with you and to get your advice and
help as to procedure with the other Members of the Cali-
fornia delegation* le are led to believe that a meas-
ure like this one which will cosaand a very v^ide Call-
fomla support and whose Justice and finality are unargu
Abie, will be favorably reported and will stand a fair
chance of being enacted even in the present Congress.
Very sincerely yours.
P. S« The attorneys primarily responsible for the
legal fens and content of this bill are Chas. De£. Elkus^
C. auncey X. Goodrich, Leo J. S&bincwlta:, Robt. M« Searles
Bt. Merriaja^s service has been given as the awa who
knows most about the past and present of the Califor-
nia Indian situation in all of Its aspects.

Dear Rabbi Wise:

The Indians need your help in what is indeed an
You remember the struggle in the Comnittee of
100 two years ago over the question of citizenship for Indians.
Thereafter, in June 1924, Congress granted citi-
cenship to all Indians.
Now the Indian Bureau has struck back with a bill
incredible in its intent. I enclose the bill. It subjects all
Indisins to imprisonnent for six months without trial, stay of
execution, review, or any due process of law. The sajme measure
destroys all tribal authority, i^ legalizes Indian custom. This
means a destruction of the Indians religious sj^Btans.
The measure was drafted in the Indiaji Bureau and
has been unconditionally endorsed by Secretary Hubert Work and
introduced in the House by the chainnaii of the Indian Affairs
Committee and in the Senate by the chairman of the Indian Affairs
Committee*
Hearings have been in progress for two weeks. The
Indian Bureau is showing an increasing determination to drive the
measure through to enactment, a,nd its political power is vast, be-
bause of its absolute control over billions of dollars in property,
- 2 -
which control it uses for political purposes.
Delegations from ten Indian tribes are here. Nine of
these delegations are struggling undoubtedly against the atrocious
measure, but one of them, brought here by the Indian Bureau from
the Rosebud Sioux reservation, is asking to be thus recaptured in-
to slavery.
As a counter-offensive, we have drafted and are push-
ing a bill taking away frcan the Indian Bureau all power to jail or
fine Indians and vesting all criminal jurisdiction over th«n in
the courts and giving them access to the civil and criminal laws
of the nation and state, and guaranteeing them their liberty of
religion and tribal custom. I enclose this bill also.
I will stop this letter right here and not go into
closely related phases of the stru^le which this typifies. The
question is, whether the grant of citizenship shall be nullified
by administrative acts and made void by Congress and the Indians
pushed back into a condition of enslavement. No allegation
just if lying this attempt at a complete reversal of the congres-
sional policy is made. I repeat, there is no allegation save one,
which Secretary Work makes, and it is as follows: that the young
men educated in the Indian Bureau schools are turning out bad, and
therefore these medieval powers must be given to him over all the
life of the good as well as the bad Indians.
What we want is as follows: To hold here in Washing-
ton a big Forum meeting in pretest against the effort to thus
disinherit the Indians living in 35 states. We want you to be
the speaker along with two members of Congress, who probably will
- 3 -
be Senator Wheeler and Representative Frear. This Forum meeting
would be attended by a very important audience, and its reactions
would be felt throughout the United States.
You must adirdt that in the long Struggle over Indian
affaire we have not tried often to burden you. Probably it was
your tremendous presentation of the duty to grant citizenship to
Indians which precipitated the action six months later that gave
them citizenship. Now, will you help in a crisis when the attempt
is being made to cancel th^s elementary right after so long a con-
flict?
If it would help to get an affirmative answer from you
I would come to New York and talk with you.
Sincerely yours.

Dear Doctor Merriam:
I enclose a brief prepared by Mr. Goodrich
dealing with the Johnson-Swing bill. It is admirably
done and might be used in persuading such a man as
Representative Lee.
I do hope you can go ahead and see Mr. Lee
with reference to both bills, but more particularly the
Johnson-Swing bill.
With many good wishes.

Dear Doctor Merriam:
Note the enclosed from yesterday's Times.
It will ^elp a good dea^ if you will write a
communication to the Times pointing out that the reserva-
tion courts: have resulted in many abuses; that the char-
acter of judges isn"t as indicated in this article; that
the scheme is one of administrative tyranny. You might call
their attention to the numerous complaints which have been
put in the Record (appendix of Frear's speech, etc.)
We are -ing protest to the Times editors, end
your letter at this time might be particularly effective.
Won't you return this clipping please?

Honorable Seott Leavltt,
ChlLlxmfJi, Co!«mlttee on Indian Affairs,
Houac of RepreB&ntatiTea,
tashlmgton, . .
B«&x Ux. LesTltt:
!• «lk« event there is not tim* for maklaf a rerbsl re-
cord tomorrow, «ay I ask that the following be placed in the iie-
cord on H. .. 7826?
1 h^t received from Aaslatnnt Gomiolstioner Heritt a
cooy of proposed wtendments to the bill as originally Introduced.
riM salient amendmenta are those by which Section 2 woxild reed
a« follows t
"The reeervstion courts of Indian otftrnwmm i/t»ll htm
juriscilction, \mder rules aad rsgulations prescribad by
the neoretjxy of the Interior OT«f offenses defined by
stete law committed by Indians on Indian rceerTctlone,
for which no punlahnant is provided by Federal law: Pro
vided. That any one aentence of aaid court a shell not ex-
ceed sixty d^s imorieonnant or labor or s fine of 100 or
both* Provided further. That reservation courte of Indlfya
offenaaa ukhll b« aalected by the restricted Indlsaa of the
reservftione over which the Juds*« al»all preside: Provided
further. That bail shall be fixed and accepted in all b&il-
aSle oi'faaaaa, and the defenu?Jit shall have the ri^ht of
appeal from any conviction to the United itatas District
Court for the district wherein the offenae was corttmitted.
fkase a«cndments represent a vaet improvement. I ^«-
lieve, hwvever, thrt the Co mittee rill find further or different
saaadaente necessary.
1. (a detr.il). Saction 1, conferring Jurisdiction upon
the Federal courts only over vloli^tion of Fadszal et?tu tea, con-
flicts ia its wording with 3ection 2, elso with Saction 4. in ooth
of which sections the reference is to state laws.
t. L.
I
f
\
t, (a detail). It le not clear how the scattered bands
of Indians living on trust alloted lande^ and the enall tribes
asny of which would have to be brought within one jurisdiction,
could effectually select or choose the reservation courts bm pro-
vided In the fiaendment*
3. (a detail). The definition of •Indian rescrvBtlons»»
In Section 3 -robably falls to Include the Mew Mexico Pue*l0St
Inasmuch as the Pueblo land grsats are not crested either by
treaty agreement, act of Cra^ess, or executive order •
The fundamental objections which remain In spite of the
is represented by the proposed amendments ere as fol«-
Impro
lows:
C^M
The bill Ml amended, juct like the bill In Its original
form, destroys tribal authority altogether, In all matters affect-
ing conduct, Pxcluslve juris lotion Is plaosd under the Federal
court or the reservetlon oMurtSt and the Federal and tate laws
are made oomprehenr*lvely applicable with no exceptions*
. It will be said that the judgas elected by the tribes
will follow tribal cu^tow. But In the Biuendment their Jurie-
dlctlon la limited to the application of state laws.
The demoralising effect of tkus imstroylng tribal
authority and wiping out tribal customs oodes, has been stated
in earlier hearings. I would only repeat that the effect f'lll
be a net lose fron ev«ry point of view: from the point of view
of law and order, economical admlaistrRtlon, happiness, and the
teringing of Indians Into the full American heritage.
The trltal codes of conduct and the tribal authorlti^i
aire meapletely respected and comoletely obeyed by the tribes
where they prevail. Until this hour It has been the mmllorm
policy of Congress to allow them to prevail. It is not to be
hoped thet Congress by a mere fiat csn transfer to & new set of
functionaries the respect and loyalty, or to a new aet of laws
the knowleoe^e nnd rcEpeot, which the ancient tribal systems comaand*
lo proof^and not even any allegatlons^have been sdduced
to show that the tribal systems are not producing good results
wherever they continue to exist. urely the burden of proof ou-;ht
to be on those who advocate so radical a change deetructlve of
ancient yet living institutions^ noral, economic, social and re-
ligious. I repeat^ that an exf^minatlon of the herrings reveals
no fllegatlon as a basis for any such tremendoua change as is
here proposed. The change looJce like ^. small thing, when viewed
from w ashing ton. But to many Indian tribes it would entail a
revolution as com jlete i^lthln their sphere of life as b similar
upheaval woula entail for AmerlcanB at large if forced upon them
b7» let us say, Russia or China.
Thl^ objection to the bill could be met by a simple de-
vice, namely: To Insert a proviso, or section, that where Indian
tribal authority exinits awl Indian custom oontlnuee operftlve, such
Q
trlbKl ciuthori^ wmA custom shall pr^TAll in tdl civil snd criminal
aattera other than felonies, ajid the question of feet as to the
existence of tribal authority and the continued operation of trlbel
custom shall in all case© be subject to determination by the United
States District Court, End where tribal authority and custom con-
tinue to prevail Indian cuetomy marriage and divorce shall be held
1 awful .
lo mattMl lAist bill be finally pasMA, dei&orallsation and
UMAIsss sufferlag and destruction of the good life will tcke place
in meny tribes unless the proviso here suggested be made a part of
whatever bill be passed*
fm
Ssotlon 2 as smended would give the reeervetlon courts
juriealction over offenses defined by state law but under rules and
regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior. Appeals
would lie to the Federal coxirt.
Kow heretofore, the rulea and yegulatlons of the uecre-
tary of the Interior, governing reserratlon courts, have prohibited,
explicitly or in effect, the repreBentation of the defendrjfit by
counsel: they hare excluded Jui*y trial; they have provided in fact
none of the defJfiryUMHi which the accused individual can deaaad in
ordinary courts.
It is siigftsted that if a code of proo#<iire is to be
left undefined, the definition shall be placed in the hf>nds of
the Federsl district court, and not in the hands of the Indian
Bureau or Gecret&ry of the Interior who, as etr.ted above, have
failed duringa lon^^ isr* of years to provide cny code of prossdure
of a clvillBed kind although they have had the power.
Aay bill deal lag wriF'thls subject natter should con--
tain B clause ensuring that the Indiants right to hunt and fish
on restricted property ?.ithin tbelr own reservations Irrespectivs
of etftte laws shall not be disturbed, (This hap been adjudicated
In 109 Fed. Hep. 139*^
four
The bill nowhere contains the necessary wording to pro-
Mult the Indian Bureau thro\JLgh superintendents and their sub-
ordinates from arrestin^^, detalnln.v, and Jailing Indlms ^nd
putting them in irons and working thea. It mi^ht be argued that
the passage of this bill would, by implication, acco»x:)lin]> that
result. That Is not at all suxe; the Indian Bureau in the ab-
sence of any defined legal authority has gone ahead doing these
thin^F, not through reservation courts/ but In all sorts of per-
fectly arbitrary ways, presumptively illegal but none the less
effective. The essence of the matter ssems to have been that
the Bureau construed its powers as guardian to be plenary. Any
bill passed which/is designed to accomplfcfch results for the Indi ns
or a regularlzin^penal and civil Isw with respect to them, should
oertalnly contain a mandate unequivocal in Its wording, prhhlbltlng
the Indian Bureau from capturing, jailing, and working the Indians.

BILLS FOR THE RELIEF 0? OALIPOMIA INDIANS, 1926
Comparison of the Kahn Bill with the Raker Bill:
1. The Kahn Bill (H.R.9497) seeks to repair the wrong
done to all California Indians, whether they lost their lands
(a) by the failure of ratification of the 18 Lost
Treaties of 1851, or
(h) hy the seizure of land without even the Dreliminary
gesture of entering into abortive treaties, or
(c) as to Mission Indians, by the failure of the Government
to present their claims to the Federal Land Commission
of 1851 created to pass on Spanish and Mexican titles.
The leaker Bill (H.R.8036) aims to assist only those
Indians afiected by the first wrong mentioned, (a). above*
2. The Kahn Bill frankly recognizes that all Indians
in California were actually wronged, and without more prelimin-
aries proceeds to liquidate, in a measure, the unquestioned
moral claim their descendants have upon the Government*
The Raker Bill> on the other hand, merely authorizes
certain Indians to sue the United vitates, and waives the statute
of limitations. iiJven so far as it goes it presents several im-
portant questions or difficult ies:
(a) The necessity for suit, and the waiver of the statute
suggest that the Indians would have to prove the existence in
1851 of a legal or equitable right, barred (save for the Raker
Bill) by the lapse of time. Can a right of action be based on
ComDarison of the Baker and Kahn Bills 2
i.
the failure of the Senate to ratify a treaty? Only the
Supreme Court can say. The word '^equi table", ih Section 2,
is not wide enough to resolve the doubt*
(b) The Indians of today will have to prove their descent
from the 18 tribes of 1851. After 75 years, and without records,
that will be an expensive ani uncertein process. The roll by
Voe Secretary of the Interior (Sec. 7) shifts some of the labor
on the DepartnBit, but the uncertainty, as to many individual
Indians , will necessarily put them to effprt and expense.
(c) Claims must be presented within two years (Sec. 3),
But the roll is to be niade up by the i^ecretaiy within 18 months,
and a claimant may apply within tv«D years thereafter to be
added to it, or within 3-1/2 years all told (yet the roll, curiously
enough, becomes final at the end of 2i years, so that during the
last year of the 3| year period the application could not be
granted).
At the end of 2i or B-g- years the claims would presumably
be ready for hearing by the Court of Claims. Five or six years
thereafter, periiaps-, some of them might reach the Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, under the Baker Bill, all the Indians obtain is the
uncertainty cf a law suit.
The Kahn Bill says to the Indians, in effect, "Yife admit
you were wronged; we'll help to repair the damage, tpday",.
The Raker Bill says, "Perhaps you were wronged; we'll give you
a chance to prove it in Court, seme years hence". If there
Comparison of the Baker and Kahn Bills
k«V
was injustice done in the pioneer period the first bill seems
the fairer way to make up for it.
(d) The Raker Bill has a set-off clause (Sec. 2) by
irtiich all the moneys spent by the Government "for the benefit of"
these Indians, during the last 75 years, are to be credited
against any judgments. If overhead is included in these benefits
there mix be no judgment left. Well-informed people believe
this off-set clause makes the Raker Bill merely an apparent act
of belated justice, without cost to th ft rrovemmftnt or benefit
to the Indian.
This was the view of the sub-committee which took evidence
on the Raker Bill April 28 and 29, 1922, after issistant
Commissioner Meritt had testified on the probable amount of the
off-sets. CSub-Committee Hearings, Part II, pages 284-291).
3. Under the Raker Bill the judgment moneys are to
go, reduced by attorneys fees, into the United States Treasury .
Thus, after long years of litigation, the amounts will not be
available for constructive use, without further legislation.
A later, less well-informed Congress might, without opportunity
for discussion, decree (a) a pro rata distribution to the Indians
pgr Qapitg, which would mean its swift wastage, or (b) its treat-
ment by the Indian Bureau as tribal or individual trust funds
with the inevitable red tape resulting.
.^ • A- J^ against this, the Kahn Bill makes a constructiTfl
and immediate attempt to solve the eniire Indian problem with an
active cooperation of Nation and State as a new factor. '

2. Your bill Is altogether ser ously Intended.
i /
Mrs' 1Cahn> 2
It rest* on the fact Mknowltdgvd by all, that while probauly wt
California Indians have no •nforctttli le;::Bl or even •qui table
claim. th«y have a moral claim that if, vaet and terrible. As re-
cited in your bill, it 18 not 30,000 Indians but 150.000 who wert
made homtl , end throuj^h the morel vlolptions in California the
Indians were reduced from 150,000 to 20,000.
The eum of 46,000,000 looks large. OmAuct the dff-
fits and it would be some Iss, 000,000. That sum is less than
2500 for each living Indian; it represents less )'\«^^f'^^^^^°^. *^°°
Indian destroyed throu^rh the acknowledged moral violation by the
United States government.
lowever, the object sought Is to eetablleh the principle
of recognising the moral obli^jation and meeting it through »^at is
called a gratuity anproprittion. If no more than ^10,000, ouu ne»
were put aside for the Indians, and the interest ueod annually,
the California Indisns could be given adequate agricultural ana
Induetriel facilities within ten years.
It is not Utopian to think that Congress will act on a
moral obliiation. Right now an issue involving not ten ot twenty
S?inous'iSf iSdreds If millions of doll «. is before Congress
and it is going to be settled on a aoral, not a Ijgal. P°^"^;^
?5at is thf islue of whether the Indian claim to Jb%natural re-
sources of executive order reservations shall t)e held 'jc^f • }*
is admitted that Congrene has the power to annihilate tjls claim,
but Congress gradually through many wts has •^PP'?»^"*f*«iy Jf^J?* «
U and this Congree. will see ite conclusive vesting in the Indians.
It mesna the srivinK to the Indians of hundreds of millions of
iil^efwhJch Sgi?\e given to the oil °o»P|^J«^°i *^%f ^^f! /Jon
retained for the United States Treasury. This battle is beinf^ wpn
on a strictly ar.orel scround.
In eractly the same way the California Indian issue can
be settled and will be. This year it has not been pra°tjjjjl« *°
concentrate on this bill, chiefly because measures <»' "^^iJ^^^l^^.
«cQTie verv menacing end imcortant, had to be concenteeted on and
nJeSisIbecaSsroJ^S peculiar situation wkth the Budget Director,
but chiefly for the first reason given.

for yo^JT bill; we hope to bring that pressure in the short session

Dear Mr. collier:
Mr. Ooodrloh hae aaked ae to write you relative to en
lnt«rr;r^trtlon of Section 3 of ^'•nat» Bill 3030 nrovldinp for th«
oar* an'' relief o-^ the Indiens of :??llfomiR. I drafted this -^in.
orlcln'ilv "tth e reallMtlon that etet^' arrnnci«»8 --mild wwAd have
no fundt evalleble which oould be advanced for th* exercise "f the
function? oont»«plated by the prono8*»d congreesicnal act, and that
the coet of ar'alnletrptlon would have to b# set by the Unlteo «t»te«
out of Tnt-rior d^of rtment approrrl8*:1'.T.s * beretofor<». k% wafi my
thouKht thftt etch of the state departaenta concerned should suomit t

aoororel of th- saae, and then Incur or contract for such expend l-
turet f'^r th» ourt^oaca and within the limits Breclfied in the budgets
as approved. This would mean th&t mmthly nayrolle, contrcct demands
etc aft»r being approved by the r^snectlv?' statp officers, would be
f^i^rderi to the ntareet Int'»rior Department tUfrburrinp offlorr for
" -BWViii'»nt It K'* to me th; t vhe Ic-nc-ui '^ of f-«ctiOn 2 aitlcec thla
protedur* sufflo4««tly cle^r. If any a««no«ents are needed for olar-
Ifloation, they an of couree be aade. It would ceuee practicdly &
vsax'e delay »nd an endless aaount of trouble If the state w-r** re-
oulred to ■ ronrUt- th" n.oney fiict and look to the federt.l aov«rn-
■ent for r-lmonrr-rsent. it ffst --he theory of or.rComiBlttee that the
Stat* vo-al.'j n.t be cfellec .. on to T.j:ke ■ ^noituros which are now in-
ouBbent upon the fsderel Ooverniaon'u, but thet the »echinery of the
verloup atat-? denertaentE oould be used forth© expenditur" of theae
Federtl apDronrlatlone to preat advantag^e. Duplication of admln-
lstr?tive cost •'ould be ellraln'^ted end the local ruthorltl'-f in cloe-
est touch with the needs of the Indians ^ould hsv* oberfe of the
sctuEl applicf'tion of the Federal soneys under the genftral axiectlon
of the Secretary of the Interior,
t% *«e«s to me that it la an entirely diff'»r<»nt aitustion
from thtt which aroae, for example, under the Sheppard-To?i,-ner -edu-
cation Bill, where the Oovernment wae aesumlnfr new financial oblipr-
tionr conditioned u on stfte partlclpetion. This Is clearly not th«
oass here. The Government le carryinp; out only the financial ob-
ligate, one fchlch It nor has to the Indifine. The fjtate Ib not being
asksd to sssume any share of those obllRatlons forthe present, but
It is contrib. ting the use of its af'minlptretlve machinery for the
pur> oee of the most beneficial utilisation possible of Federel funde.
AS I understi>nd the words "incur expend ituri^e" in lin«» 9 of pep-e 3
of the orifrlnal draft of the Bill, it does not mean the peyinp out
of n»on»y; It me; ne. to enter into obligetions for th- r-aympnt of aiori»»y,
If the Controller places any diff<^rent conetruction or. th/? lansruef-",
I suggest tht;t ita ohreeeology be amended to meet the ri-nuirements
of his legal advisers so as to carry out thf^ int«nt of the section

Dear Senator LaFollette:
I probably shall bare to leave faahlngton tble week-end;
benoe shall not be on hand during the weeke ahead.
I belleye that all the poesible considerations bearing on
the California and iVisconsin bills are dealt with in the earlier
letter of tfr. Goodrich, sent you two or three days ago, and in the
enclosed letter of Mr. Searls, along with the commentary which I
giwe below«
I enclose a copy of 8 3611 with two suggested amendments
inserted* Tour own previous amendments are taken for granted.
It occxirs to me that in the erent of a favorable reoort
by your sub-committee to the Indian Affairs Committee, the follow-
ing consideration might be brought to the fore:
9
I
1
f
_ile a legal precedent is furnished by the rarious laws ex-
tending Federal aid to the States, the present proposal differs es-
sentially from these other oases, in the following particulars: (a)
lo new grant of Federal money is contemplated; but only a continuance
of established expenditures with a change in the method of expendi-
ture; and (b) the jurisdiction of the United States over the Indians
remains fundamentally unimpaired; as a matter of policy and con-
venience, a new method of the administration is adopted which, how-
ever, when terminated by the Feder&l Grovernment, would leave the
status of the Indians as wards mntirely unchanged, and indeed that
status would be unchanged by anything in this proposed law even in
the period when it was operative.
The above statwient is not hypothetical. For example, in
Oklahoma the United States has gone far beyond any precedent con-
tained in this bill and has subjected the Oklahoma Indians to the
full portion of the State laws; yet the Indians remain wards of the
\
Federal QoTernment ac would be the oase In the present instance.
In Oklahoma^ perhaps unfortunately^ the transfer of sub-
•rdinate responsibility to the states has extended to matters of
property with the resultant confusion of responsibility and conflict
of interests. Such is not involwed in any fashion in the present
bills except with relation to properties of the United States Gk>Tern«
aent which essentially are loaned to the states for health and edu*
oational adainietretion. The trusteeship orer lands^ funds, etc,
is kept wholly separate in the present bill which deals only with
the human services*
i
Oordially yours.
P.8. It will be a wery decided help if the hearings, with such ad-
ditional matter as may be deemed useful, can be furnftfthed whether or
no there is akrecommendation by the sub-committee. Hot only in Wis-
oonsin and California^ but in Oregon, Montana, lewada and Horth iar-
olina the material is awaited with inter«»st because these states ara
in a situation comparable with that of ^isoonsin and California*

Report on the Lea Bill, etc
Dec. 22\ Evening.
I had a 2 hours conversation with Mr. Lea today. He
was friendly and, I felt, quite open and within limits ready to
cooperate.
The situation is perplexing and it is one on which I
should receive instructicns if possible. As briefly as possible:
1. The Indian Bureau has not yet reuorted on the Lea
bill. They are likely to endorse it; tne hitch is over the
$2.50 per acre maxiinum award, which seems high to the" Bureau.
2. No proposed change in the text of the bill has been
made; it stands as on p. 31 of the hearings of last May 5.
3. Mr. Lea^s reuly to the challenge of constitutionality
is that the bill is an Act of Grace and therefore Congress can
allow what it will and decree such disposal of what it allows,
as it may desire
4. Mr. Lea believes the Court of Claims would award
)2.50 an acre for much of the land; he thinks an award of
^15,000,000 for land can be reasonably expected, plus the award
of some $1,800,000 for the other things named in the ^^lost treaties."
Mr, Lea has no detailed data to support his belief, is frank to |
say so, but thinks much of the 'lost treaty" arep was fine lend,
timbered, etc.
5. Mr. Lea has no new data regarding "offsets" and is
not sure whether thr- value of Indian Reservations in California
(those established out of the public domain) was computed by the
Indian Bureau when it estimctea '$10,600,000; but Mr. Lea thinks
the present wording of the bill regarding "offsets", the
wording narrely "payments" and "sums paid" would not be construed
by the courts to mean lands granted from the public domain.
the much-discussed subject of the existence o
aim by virtue of the *'lost treaties": Mr. Lea
neauivocal that he did not understand that anv
6. On
an equitable cl _^ . __
was clear and unequivocal that he did not understand that any
such claim could exist; the legal or qui table claim, he »ays,
grows from and rests on the right of occupancy and the treaty
of Guadalupe Hidalgo; the inclusion of reference to the "lost
treaties" is designed to provide a criterion and a limitation
to guide he Court of Claims. Mr. Lea thinks that the Court
of Claims would consider that the equitable right, which
undoubtedly once existed, had been reinstituted by the proposed
new Act of Congress, so thft the question of the existence of
such right would not be considered by the Court, but only the
questions of value and offsets. Mr. Lea states tkit this is
Commissioner Burke's idea also.
Mr. Lea agreed that tlie wording of Sec. 1 of his bill
might create a different understanding of the theory on which
the bill rested; and we discussed a snifting of clauses, which
is illustrated in the attached page and \i*iich is self-explanatory.
7. Quite frankly Mr. Lea agreed that the bill as he
construed it 7*as an irjdirect or dism;ised pratuity. He insisted,
however, that an undisguised gratuixy would be vetoed because
it would set a precedent for the settling of the claims of
other tribes through Congressional determination of legal
merits, etc. rather than court determination. While this argument
is not logical it is , I believe, sincere and would be soraewnat
persuasive with Congress.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress Assembled, That
jurisdiction is hereby conferred upon the Court of Claims of the
United States, with the right of either party to appeal to the
Supreme Court of the United States to hear and determine anv
claim i/iiich may exist against the United States by reason oi
the failure or*' refusal of the United States to provide compel
tion for Indians of California.
ipensa^
That iurisdicticn is hereby conferred on the Court of
Claims, etc. to hear and determine any claim which may exist
against the United States by reason of the failure or refusal
01 the United States to provide corr.pensation for Indians of
California for the lands surrendered to the United States by
them or taken from them by the United States without compensa-
tion.
Sec. 2. If any claim or claims be submitted to said
courts they shall settle the rights therein, both legal and
equitable, notwithstanding lapse of time or statutes of
limit<.tion, or the fact that said claims may not have been
presented to any other tribunal, including the commission created
by the act of March 3, 1851 (9 Stat. L. p. 631): Provided,
Tnat any judgment for the claimants shall be for an amount that
will afiord ]ust compensation for thrt which would hrve been
due to the tribes signatory to the 18 treaties ratified by
the chiefs and headrren of the several tribes ^nd bands of
California Indians and submitted for ratification to the Senate
of the United States for re tificrticn. which trerties were not
ratified; Provided further, That the lands described in said
treaties shall not be valued in excess of $^.50 per acre. Any
ryments vdiich mry he ve been mrde by the United States to the
alifornia Indians shall not be pleaded as an estoppel, but
may be ^-leaded by \vay of set-off, and any sum paid \o or
expended by the Jnited States for their oerefit shall be
credited to the United States as of the date the court finds
the expenditure to have been made.
e
Remarks .
1. How probable is it that the Court, when all statutes
of limitation were wiped away, would hold that the passage of
this Act meant that Congress affirmatively recognized, and
established outside of court questioning, the right of the Indians
to compensation for their destroyed occupancy?
2. Or if the Court went into the question of such right,
would it find thcit such right (the right to compensation when
occupancy was destroyed) had existed m 1851?
3. Does the circumstance thi t the proposed act would be
an Act of Grace, overcome the constitutional difficulty (the
difficulty that, for example, some Indians whose occupancy was
not disturbed at all are enabled to share the benefits)? We are
here assuming that no claim is assumed or caused by the Act to
rest on or prow out of the "lost treaties," and that the
references to the "lost treati<-s" are arbitrary prescriptions
by Congress as to the limit of the compensation to be allowed
by the Court. (The Indians not disturbed at all would be those
on the reservations, and some of the kission bands.)
5. Is there any way to get an objective certainty as
to the probable amount of the award; i.e., the liklihood of any
land leing founa at $2.50 an acre, and how much would probably
be so found, and the liklihood of other land to be foihd at
less tiian, say, a dollar an acre? it is evident that no such
data is now in hand.
6. Will the Court construe "payment" and "sums paid"
to refer to payment of money alone, or to include likewise payment
in land, i.e., in reservations from the Public Domain? This
question would affect the total of offs'ets decisively.
7. Is it certain that the difficulties of getting the
Administration's endorsement for this bill, so shaped ss to
guarantee results to the Indians, will be greater than those of
getting the Administration's approval for a straight gratuity
bill or comparatively modest dimensions (say $7,000,000) and
without the inclusion of any novel provisions for the spending
of the award?
This question should not be hastily put by. Inasmuch
as the bill now under discussion is in truth a gratuity
measure, and not an authorization for a suit to deteraine rights,
it is obvious that the bill should carry provisions which insure
substantial gains to the Indians; the gains should not be lelt
in doubt; and there may be no way to insure them, under any
Court of Claims procedure, short of the establishment of a
minimum as well as maximum per acre award.

Dear Mr. Goodrich:
I have just had a long and helpful talk with Captain
and Mrs. Bonnin ^o have followed the California claiir^s
legislation for many yec^^rs and Captain Bonnin is thoroughly
familiar with Indian law.
One outstanding thought is the following v*iich had
also been impressed on me by others: It is unwise to put into
one bill the two subjects of compensation and of a novel
method of spending the compensation. The matter is something
like this. If some other party having a lot of power were
trying to pass a compensation bill, end they could not pass
it without our consent, then we might say that we could consent
only if they incorporated our idea about the method of spending
the money. But the actual condition is that nobody is pressing
for a compensation bill and it will be very hard to get one
put over, and to incorporate the novel idea about how to spend
the money would be to further handicap an already handicapped
matter and would probably sink it. I think this is the actual
situation.
Therefore I suggest that whatever compensation
measure be drawn shall provide that the money shall be deposited
in the treasury subject to appropriation, etc.
#2 — Mr. Goodrich
Second. The usual procedure of the Court of Claims
is to allow $1,25 an acre* There exists a report by a California
legislative committee, made up at the time when California was
fighting against having the eighteen treaties ratified, which
says that the land covered by these proposed treaties was
worth a hundred million dollars. Collet t and Lea are greatly
relying on this legislative statement as persuasive with the
court. Captain Bonnin thinks though not persuasive with the
court it would be considered by the court and would have a
certain amount of weight in the absence of any appraisals and
sales.
Dr. Merriam insists that there were no sales in the
area in question at the time in question, so there is nothing
like that to go on.
Third. Y/hatever be the constitutional aspect, it is
clear to the Bonnins as to the rest of us that there is no
practical sense or justification in limiting the award for the
California Indians as whole to the contemplated value Of the
seven and a half million acres dealt with in the lost treaties.
And it is evident that when the award is so limited, one is
taking a very hazardous chance in going to the Court of Claims,
for he must get an average of $2.00 an acre to get anything
worth having; whereas if the award were for a greater area
he could ^et an average very much lower and still get
something substantial.
Captain Bonnin favors the idea \rfiich I believe is yours
also, that if the settlement is to be through a Court of Claims
#3— Goodrich
procedure, the suit for compensation should he an unlimited
suit for whatever areas the Indians were dispossessed of (this
has nothing to do with the subject of the maximum award
Congress would fix.
Captain Bonnin believes that with nil limitations
struck out, then undoubtedly an effective suit could be brought
under the right of occupancy and he quotes especially the
case of U. S. vs. State of Minnesota decided 1925 by the
Supreme Court.
It seems to the Bonnins thst it might be wise to propose
to the sub-connittee of the House Indian Committee a substitute
bill, which would be a claims bill in which the Indians would
predicate their claims on the right of occupency for such areas
as they could prove had been occupied and with some limit on
the per acre award and the maximum total award.
I just send this on to you to consider along with
anything else that may be in your thought about these bills.
Cordially,
(Signed) John Collier.
P.S. Captain Bonnin seems to think that the argument against
settling an apparent claims matter by an open gratuity
appropriation, namely, t'nat it would establish a precedent for
appeals to Congress and an attempt by Congress to settle
matters heretofore left to the courts — that such an argument
would have a greater influence with Congress and therefore it
may be the conclusive argument against asking for a straight
#4 — Goodrich
gratuity.
As I remember it, practically all that is said above
was contained in your earlier letter to Mr. Lea containing a
proposed compromise which letter Mr. Lea appears to have
forgotten about entirely.

Of course it is for the management of "Science Service"

At an early date we shall furnish the
newspapers generally with a release dealing with the

is professedly official and that which is official pro-
paganda through uiiofficial channels. We shall deal
particularly with the propaganda ahout Indian population

shall draw the material refuting the sundry statements

Honorable Lynn J. Frazler,
Chairaan, Senate Indian Affairs Committee,
Washington, D« C.
Dear Senator ?razier:
I attach carbon of a letter to Honorable Scott
LeaYltt, Chairman of the House Indian Committee » If
it ie possible, I hope that two or three minutes of the
l^aring tomorrow, Tuesday, morning may be given to a
preliminary consideration of this Bill. (S^7 ::^1 )
Ho court of Claims Bill has been pending longer,
or has entailed as nan^h discussion, as this Johnson- Lea
Bill. The California Indians were deprived of all their
lands without cot^^ensation during the fifties; and over
100,000 of them perished within forty years as a result ^
NO violation of treaty was technically oommitteA although
morally there was such a violation; but the injury was
essentially a human one and on a gigantic and appalling
scale. ^ ^
The Bill now pending is an attempt to do a very
small aot of very belated justice to the 18,000 surviving
California Indians. According to certain facts which have
not yet been ftxlly established, and certain technical
phrasings of the Bill, the Bill will be productive of
substantial good to the Indians or will be totally un^
productive.
Hon. Lyxm J. pTasier. 3/5/38

V# are earnestly in faTor of the Bill
in the form as introduced, ire think that if it ie
t# be Modified as reconoMnded by the Interior Depart-*
■eat 9 there should be first nadte a showing of facts
as indicated in the enclosed carbon of letter to
Mr. LeaTitt. In the absence of such showing of
facts ^ the proposed aodification meij prore to be
•xclusiTSlj a aeans to rendering the Bill null and
Toid and dissuading the State of California from
consenting to become the attorney for the Indians

Dear Senator Johnson:
I enclose carbon of a letter to Senator Frasler
and a letter to CongresBaan LeaTltt^ dealing with the
Indian Comrt of Claims Bill«
It is By understanding that the subconBnittee of
the House Indian Comroittee intends to recommend that the
changes proposed by the Indian Office shall be adopted and
that this recommendation is being made without haTing ob-*
tained from the Indian Bureau the essential showing of facts
as to
(A) the acttial total of set-offs;
(B) the awerage period of time required to
bring an Indian Court of Claims suit to
final judgment «
Muiifestly, until this showing of facts is made^
it is dangerous to change the Bill from the form m which
it was introduced by you and Mr. Lea« The change might
hare the effect of rendering the Bill altogether unproduotiTe
of good, and of diBsuading the State of California from
bein(; willing to be attorney for the Indians as contemplated
in the Bill«

Dear Dr. Merriam:
I am so glad that you are joining in the Memorial.
The notion as to length was that the Memorial ought to show
enough knowledge to be persuasive with Mr. Roosevelt, and
we are assured that he at least 7/ill refer it across to one
of his most trusted advisors.
The release to the press seems justified because we
have direct knowledge that Governor Roosevelt wants to get
out of the merely political class in making the appointments
in question, while at the same time he is being subjected
to great and widespread pressure in behalf of political ap-
pointees, all of whom axe undesirable, and of whom the chief
contender is E# B. Meritt.

Circular Letter «

Dr* C, E. Mirriam,
Carnegie Inatitutet
Washington, D. C«
Dear Dr. Ifcrriam;
The Office of Indian Affairs is at present beginning a critical
survey of the Govemmant's policy of land allotment to individual Indians
and Of the effects of this policy upon the economic life of Indian com-
munities. In particular, we are anxious to build upon the potentieilities
of cooperative economic activity that exist today within the social or-
ganisation of various Indism tribes and communities, with a view to en-
larging the tribal ownership of land in lieu of the present system of
individual allotments*
Your trained field experience is such as to enable you to help us in
this inquiry. We are therefore taking the liberty of enclosing the within
questionnaire, relating to those aspects of Indicui social organization
which may be of particular importance in establishing Indian life on a
more satisfactory economic basis than has thus far been generally achieved.
We trust that you will be able to fill out this questionnaire to the
extent, at least, that your experience and contacts with particular Indian
communities permit, and that you will return your answer to us as speedily
as possible. We believe that the information which trained anthropologists
can furnish in this way will greatly assist our investigation.
We should appreciate any advice or criticism that you may have to
offer on the problem suggested, outside the boundaries of the enclosed
questionnaire; and we should also like to have the names of any of your
students or associates who have done Indian field work and are qualified
to give us any of the information we need.
Very truly yours,

Dear Dr. Merria-n:
I enclose the California draft. It shows a greet deal of
work I went over it briefly with Sen. Johnson this afternoon and
he will sooLor it if we want him to. He is introducins the
other California bill giving the State of California control over
education, health and relief work for Indians with use of the Federal
appropriations. ^
I enclose also and liope that you can read before tomorrow,
two bills with an explanatory memoraiidum. They striKT at tne heart
of the evils of leasing allotted lands corruptly and destroying the
wills of deceased Indians. We drafted them (the Indian ejense
Assn.. that is.) Frear will push them. We must find the right
m^ in the Se .ate for this. I shall be glad to have these /back.
Cordiallj yours

SUGGESTION CONCERNING AN INDIAN LAW AND ORDER STATUTE.
What followi Is stated dogmatically for reasons of brerlty.
l.The U. 8, courts shall have jiirlsdiction over felonies com-
mitted by or against Indians within the Indian reservations; like-
wise jurisdiction to entertain appeals as in Section 3 "below,
2. The Indians on reservations shall be subject to the criminal
laws of" the United States, and where these laws do not apply in a
given case, they shall be subject to the criminal laws of the states
where their reservations are located.
3. United States Commissioners, appointed by and responsible to
the federal district courts, shall be charged with the arrest of
offenders and commitment for felonies- These Commissioners shall
conduct a trial and mete penalties for miidemeanors, the laws which
they ars to enforce being indicated in Sections 1 and 2 above.
Appeals from the verdicts of these Commissioners in mis-
demeanor cases shall be allowed to the federal district court*
The defendant shall be allowed to have aid of counsel.
These Commissioners likewise shall sit in civil suits,
which shall be in accordanoa with the civil law of the state where a
given reservation is Ipcated.
Appeals in civil oases shall be taken to the federal dis-
trict court.
4. Except ion. Where tribal organization still operates offenses
below The felony class shall be left to such tribal organization, and
the tribal code shall prevail. The tribal authority and tribal code
shall likewise prevail in civil matters between Indians. The federal
court shall determine as a question of fact whether tribal organiza-
tion does still operate.
In cases where the tribal organization has been shattered
or repressed or distorted by the Indian Bureau or by other influences^
but where the desire and capacity to live under tribal customs and
within a tribal organization still prevails, the tribe in question
shall be authorized to form its own organization for law enforcement
and for the adjustment of civil relations between the members of ths
tribe, and shall then have the privileges which are extended by the
present or above proposed laws of Congress to tribally organized
Indians. The determination of fact, as to whether the condition
stated in this paragraph exists, shall rest with the United States
courts.
5. The Secretary of the Interior and Commissioner of Indian
Affair's shall by affirmative statute be prohibited from making penal
-2-
codee, and the superintendents of reservations or other employes of
Indian Bureau shall be prohibited from arresting or imprisoning
Indians. This means putting an end to the existing practice of the
Indian Bureau of arresting and jailing Indians through the reserva-
tion courts, etc.
Also the several archaic statutes of 1834 and 1858, giving
to the Indian Commissioner power to exclude from reservations whits
persons or Indians of other reservations, in an arbitrary manner and
without court review, should be repealed.
3. In the matters of marriage and divorce, of family organiza-
tion and of inheritance, the United States court shall determine
whether tribal custom is still operating in the control of these
matters, and where the court determines affirmatively, the tribal
customs shall prevail; where the coxirt determines negatively, ths
Indians on such reservations shall become subject to the state laws
of marriage and divorce. (Exception to the above will have to be
made where the allotment act has already established descent or
ownership of property in conflict whether with tribal customs or
state laws.)
7. The Indians, tribally and individually, should be given by
statute the right to sue and be sued. The present control of the
Indian Bureau over the choice of counsel by Indians should be ended,
(This section does not refer to the prosecution of claims against
the United States government, which does not enter into the subject
here dealt with.)

Sunday
Dear Dr. Merriam:
Senator King is slowly working up a speech which he wants to
make Important and informing.
He has put the difficxilt task to me of trying to estin'ate the
relative wellbeing of the Indians in IS50 (or some other rather old date)
and now. The wealth aspect concerns him less than the others^to wit:
Population c caparisons, and
Status of Indian manhood, i .e. , social dignity, industry, tribal
self-respect and group efficiency.
Such rough esti .ates or vague pictures as are possible would
require library work wnich i can't make time for how, or not for much of
it. But it occxirs to me that your re sear ones in California
Indian history can provide striking material. I have lost the reference
to yo\ar article on California Indian population, which as I recall, mentioned
also the causes of Indian population decline. Perhaps you can lend me
the article.
Or J)erhaps you would have time to dictate a statement, brief or
long, dealing just with California or dealing with wider territory, which
King ccvild quote or adopt as his own.
Or can you make any suggestions of how to proceed?
I was sorry your daughter had the trouble of carrying the
slides home. "We are now under a night and day and Sunday drive and not
able to keep abreast. Did you note that the most precious of the
slides was cracked slightly; I don't believe it was cracked when
you lent it to me; I want to replace it or to pay for having another
copy made.
Cordially
A

My dear Dr. Merriajn:-
I received a letter - a copy of which I
enclose herewith, from F^ynard Shipley, Esq., President
of the Science League of America, Inc., San Francisco,
Calif. , in reference to a speech delivered by me on
the floor of Congress on February 7th advocating the
acquisition of the Vollbehr Incunabula Collection, copy
of which speech I enclose herewith for your information.
In my opinion, Congress has an unusual
opportunity to do a big thing for our Library by making
this purchase and I sincerely hope that it will not be
lost because of the failure of Corogress to act. Your
thoughts on the entire subject will, I am sure, be
appreciated by your friends in the House and the Senate,
also by Hon. Robert Luce, Chairman of the Committee on
the Library, and by Senator Simeon D. Fess , Chairman
of the Joint Library Committee of Congress,
Very Oordially yours,
ROSS A'COLLIFS

Dr. C. Hart Llerriam,
Research Associate Smithonian Institution,
1919 Sixteenth Street, II. .V.
Washington, H.O.
My dear Dr. Merriam:
I have your letter of April 4, and thank you for
writing me ahout my speech on the Vollbehr Collection of
incunahula. I hope you can spare the time to also write to
such members of the House and Senate as you know in behalf
of the bill, for it ^.-^ould be a national calamity if this
great collection should not go to the Coiigressional Library.
Our Library is -vveak in fifteenth Century books, and this v:ill
undoubtedly be the last opportunity thet we will ever be
given to buy a large collection of them. If this opportunity
is lost it v;lll never come again. All the great libraries
have a copy of :he Gutenberg Bible, except the Library of
Congress. The Vollbehr Collection contains one of the three
perfect copies on vellum in existence, and if Congress failed
to purchase it together with the other books in the collection,
those coming after v;ill alwayis condemn us.
Hearings were held on the Hoase bill fH.R.6147),
by the Committee on the Library, and were attended by a number
of the outstanding experts on books and book values of the
country, including A. Mward Eewton, George Parker Winship,
Dr. Pierce Butler, Dr. Adolph S. Oko, Edward F. Stevens, John
Clyde Oswald, Dr. Otto S. Heller, Dr. George Bowerman, Mrs. J.
Borden Harriman, Hon. Charles H. Strong, Secretary Hew York
Bar Association, and others. The hearings were recently-
issued from the Government Printing Office and as the supply
is not large, I would suggest that you write for a copy for
your library, as this document is very interesting and in-
structive.
The bill has been introdaoed in the Senate fS.4023),
by Hiram Bingham of Connecticut on March 25, at which time
he inserted into the record a copy of an article on the
Vollbehr Collection of Incunabula from the Saturday Review
of Literature, a reprint of which I am enclosing. I also
enclose a copy of an editorial on the Vollbehr Collection in
the Paterson Call.

Whatever you can say to your friends or acquaintances
in Congress will be helpful and will be greatly appreciated
not only by me, but by all the other friends of learning Who
would like to see our Library full and complete in all regards,
so that scholars will not have to leave the United States to
do literary or scientific research.
Yours sincerely,

Jul7 10. 3930,
l|7 dear Friend:
I am delighted to inform you that both Houdes of Congress
unanimously approved the appropriation for the purchase of the
Vollbehr incunabula » and President Hoover signed the Collins bill
on July 3rd. Tou Join with me, I am sure* in a feeling of great
satisfaction and pride over the fact that the representatives
of the American people have responded so generously to their
call for parity in national libraries*
This unparalleled victory for the cause of culture in the
United States could not have succeeded without the enthusiastic
and constant support of yourself and the other friends of the
book, and our reward will be the knowledge that we have saved
the collection for America and contributed no small part to
what may prove to be a true Renaissance of education and cul-
ture in our country*
Therefore* as one of the friends of our cause suggests:
••Let^s make this the first of a vast series of efforts that
will go to assure the world at large that we are not all mere
machines and money grabbers and that will definitely make it
possible for our posterity to profit themselves in the higher
and finer things of life."
With renewed appreciation and with the hope of meeting
you sometime in Washington and showing you the incomparable
vellum Gutenberg Bible » I am,
Very sincerely,
ROSS A. COLLINS, M- C.»

Dr. W. B. Bell, In Charge,
Division of Biological Inveetigatlons,
Bureau of Biological Survey,
Washington, D. C.
Ify dear Dr. Bell:
In reply to yours of August 17, I would state as follows:
The male grizzly that was Involved In the killing of the keeper
in the City Park Zoo, Denver, was received from Yellowstone Park a. a
small cuh, about 1918. The female came from the same locality in 1927,
when about two years of age.
It was the third instance in which the male had made an attack
upon this keeper, the female joining after the keeper's t^o*\J»d
been torn open and much blood was in evidence. The attack of the
female Is reported to have been of the most vicious nature.
From accounts, it would appear that the male's attack, for a
time was of a more or less playful nature, consisting of knocking the
man into the pool and rolling him in the water until he was quite
helpless. He was then dragged out of the pool by the male, wMch
began a more serious attack by attempting to bite him through the
bead and then the throat. The attack of the female was restricted to
the abdomen, which was torn open at the first stroke of the claws.
I will bo glad to prepare the sort of article you suggest. If
you think it will be of interest.
Very truly yours,
J. D. Flggins,
Director.

Vy dear Mr. Merriamj
You will remember that about a year ago
the Trustees of Columbia University conferred upon you the honorary
degree of Doctor of Science, but that this degree was not awarded
because your engagements in the West made it impossible for you to
be present in person at Commencement.
Our Commencement of 1904
falls upon Wednesday, June 8. Will it be possible for you to be
present on that day and receive your degree?
Sincerely yours.
President.

My dear Doctor:
For the past six years, members of the student body of the
College of Physicians and Surgeons have maintained a medical aid
station on the coast of Labrador at the harbor of Spotted Islands.
This work has been carried on entirely by the students and it
has grown from the smallest possible beginnings to a point where,
to secure most effective results, a certain amount of help must
be obtained outside of the student body. A Faculty Advisory
Committee has been appointed to assist in forwarding this purpose,
and, as a member of the committee, I want to ask for your interest
in this very appealing and valuable contribution to the work
of the Labrador coast which has received the cordial commendation
of Dr. Wilfred Grenfell. This year, in addition to Mr. Ernest
H. Wilcox and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. B. S. Thomas of the College, the
party will include a dentist and also a teacher who hope to work
among the children of Labrador. All but one of the party are
paying their own travelling expenses. The budget required to
carry on these student activities for the summer months, including
food and supplies, is $1,600. I am hoping very much that you may
be sufficiently interested in the work of the college from which
you graduated to send me a subscription toward this budget.
Amounts of one dollar or more will be most gratefully received and
promptly acknowledged and will, I can assure you, serve to carry
help and comfort among a class of people who need it as much
as any in the world.
Very sincerely yours.
t'v?
