all persons that have hav 0 the interest of the government and of the indians at heart to entreat congress it Ilee necessary ebsary to repeal the clause in the allotment act which pro ville that these indians indian shall be compelled to pay SIM per acre for the lands they are forced to accept in 11 aleu u of lands promised to them in the treaty stipulations under which they gave up IV their

erection of a chapel which will be located close to the uncompahgre board ling ing school the work upon we building has been commenced and will be pushed hed rapidly to completion it Is b hoped ed that those who have encouraged the undertaking of at this enterprise will no not t neglect or desert it but that me means a no will be contributed for providing iding a home for a missionary and for
