CHESTER A. ARTHUR.

Agreement of July 7, 1883.—In the conference with Chief Moses and Sar-sarp-kin, of the Columbia Reservation, and Tonasket and Lot, of the Colville Reservation, had this day, the following was substantially what was asked for by the Indians:

Tonasket asked for a saw and grist-mill, a boarding-school to be established at Buonaparte Creek to accommodate one hundred pupils, and a physician to reside with them, and $100 to himself each year.

Sar-sarp-kin asked to be allowed to remain on the Columbia Reservation with his people, where they now live, and to be protected in their rights as settlers, and in addition to the ground they now have under cultivation within the limit of the 15-mile strip cut off from the northern portion of the Columbia Reservation, to be allowed to select enough more unoccupied land in severalty to make a total to Sarsarp-kin of 4 square miles, being 2,560 acres of land, and each head of a family or male adult 1 square mile; or to move on to the Colville Reservation, if they so desire, and in case they so remove and relinquish all their claims on the Columbia Reservation, he is to receive one hundred head of cows for himself and people, and such farming implements as may be necessary.

All of which the Secretary agrees they should have, and that he will ask Congress to make an appropriation to enable him to perform.

The Secretary also agrees to ask Congress to make an appropriation to enable him to purchase for Chief Moses a sufficient number of cows to furnish each one of his band with two cows; also to give Moses $1,000 for the purpose of erecting a dwellinghouse for himself; also to erect a building and maintain a school therein; also to construct a saw-mill and grist-mill as soon as the same shall be required for use; also that each head of a family or male adult person shall be furnished with one wagon,

one double set of harness, one grain cradle, one plow, one harrow, one scythe, one hoe, and such other agricultural implements as may be necessary.

And on condition that Chief Moses and his people keep this agreement faithfully, he is to be paid in cash, in addition to all of the above, $1,000 per annum during his life. All this on condition that Chief Moses shall remove to the Colville Reservation, and relinquish all claim upon the Government for any land situate elsewhere.

Further, that the Government will secure to Chief Moses and his people, as well as to all other Indians who may go upon the Colville Reservation and engage in farming, equal rights and protection alike with all other Indians now on the Colville Reservation, and will afford him any assistance necessary to enable him to carry out the terms of this agreement on the part of himself and his people. That until he and his people are located permanently on the Colville Reservation his status shall remain as now, and the police over his people shall be vested in the military, and all money or other articles to be furnished him and his people shall be sent to some point in the locality of his people, there to be distributed as provided. All other Indians now living on the Columbia Reservation shall be entitled to 640 acres, or 1 square mile of land, to each head of family or male adult, in the possession and ownership of which they shall be guaranteed and protected. Or should they move upon the Colville Reservation within two years, they will be provided with such farming implements as may be required, provided they surrender all rights to the Columbia Reservation.

All of the foregoing is upon the condition that Congress will make an appropriation of funds necessary to accomplish the foregoing and confirm this agreement; and also with the understanding that Chief Moses or any of the Indians heretofore mentioned shall not be required to remove to the Colville Reservation until Congress does make such appropriation, etc.
