DELAY IN MAKING
INDIAN ALLOTMENTS
i-aiu
KLAMATH FALLS, Oct. 27. Al
lotting Ageut H. F. White has made
public the reasons for the delay in
completing the assigning of lands to
the Indians on the Klamath reserva
tion. Several articles have recently
been published in the Klamath Falls
papers criticising the methods emf
ployed by Mr. White in making the
allotments. The local chamber of
commerce also took up the matter of
having the work rushed so that the
reservation could be opened for set
tlement '
Numerous reasons are vited by the
nlloting agent for thedelny in. the
work. In compiling a history of the
Indians entitled to allotments he en
countered many difficulties. Before
his records are complete he , must
have the allotee's family history,
showing all his relatives so, that in
case of death the lnnd can be divided
among the legal-heirs. Until recent
years mnrriage was a matter of con
venience 011 the Klamath reservation.
This made it extremely difficult to
compile the records required by the
Tndinn department. It wns nlsb nec-,
essnry for Mr. White to mnke many
changes in the old nllotmentsns def
inite surveys had not been established
