INDIANS OPPOSE GOOD ROADS
Object to Expending Money They
Need for Houses and Barns.
TOPPENISH, Feb. 11. — through
their chief. Squire C Waters, the
Yakima reservation Indians have
sent a letter of protest to Secretary
Ballinger against the appropriation
of $100,000 of the Indians’ money
to build roads on the reservation.
Senator Jones recently introduc
ed such a bill In congress and it is
indorsed by local commercial clubs.
Chief Waters complains that the
roads would benefit the white land
owners more than the Indians, who
are in “dire need of houses, barns
and other adjuncts to a comfortable
life.” The money for these roads
was to come from the sale of
tribal lands, which the Indians
think unjust.
