for their support. They have one sehool in operation, with an at- tendance, however, of only nine scolars. By the treaty of May 7th, 1868, provision is made by which they are to receive for a 1imited number of years the fallowing annuities, etc., viz.: in clothing and goods, $22,728 (twenty six instalments due); in beneficial objects, $35,000 (six instalments due); in subsistence, $181,400 (one instalment due). Blacksmiths, teachers, plhysician, carpenter, miller, engineer, and farmer are also furnished for their benefit, at an expensc to the Government of $11,600.

Flat-heads, etc.-The Flat-heads, Pend d'Orcilles, and Kootenays have a reservation of 1,438,000 aeres in the Joeko Valley, situated in the north-western part of the Territory, and secured lo them by treaty of 1855. This treaty also provided for a reservation in the Bitter-root Valley, slould the President of the United States deem it advisable to set apart unother for their use. The Flat hends have renained in the last-named valley ; but under the pro visions of the Act of June 5th, 1872, steps are being taken for their removal to the Jocko Reservation, Many of these Indians are en- gaged in agriculture; but, as they receive little assistance from the Government, their progress in this direction is slow. They lave one sehool in operation, with an attendance of twenty-seven scholars.

Shoshones, etc. The Shoshones, Bannocks, and Sheep-eaters are at present located about twenty miles above the mouth of the Lemhi Fork of the Salmon River, near the western boundary of the Territory. They have shown considerable interest in agri culture, and many of them are quite successful as farmers. They ave no reservation set apart for them, either by treaty or by Ex- ceutire order. They are so few in mmber that it would proba bly be better to remove them, with their consent, to the Fort Hall Reservation in Idaho, where their brethren are located, than to provide them with a scparate rescrvation, They have no schools in operation. An annual appropriation of $25,000 is made for these Indians, which sum is expended for their bencfit in the purchase of clothing, subsistence, agricultural implements, etc.

The Indians in this Territory, with the exception of the Sionx and Northern Arapahocs and Cheyennes, mentioned under the heads of Dukota and Montana, respectively, are the castern band of Shosliones, numbering about 1000. The Shoshones are native to the country. Their reservation in the Wind River Valley
