Show FIRST STEP TAKEN FOR THE OPENING i WASHINGTON. Janl 30. The House yesterday agreed to . the provision in the Indian bill appropriating $175,000 for the allotment of the lands of the Uintah and White River sites in Utah, which will be the first step toward the opening of that reservation- Mr. Sutherland moved to strike out the provision appropriating $6000 for resurveying and .marking the boundary boun-dary of the reservation, but his amendment amend-ment failed to carry. Mr. Suthoiland stated as his reason for opposing this appropriation that it recognized th existence ex-istence of the reservation, which he desired to have done, and also that he expected the lands to be thrown open to settlement in the , future, and this would involve an unnecessary expense. |
