Their first Allotment of 160 Aeres—
Actual *1 mm ef AUotiag Old Met Kaeeed
Two Days
PoncaOitt: The Kaw Indians will
soon receive the deeds for their first
allotments of ISO acres eeoh. The deeds
have been filled out and forwarded to
the secretary of the interior for ap-
proval Tha division of the Kaw lands
markes one of the quickest allotments
on record. A little over a year ago the
Kaw Indians oonoluded to divide their
land and were allowed to select their
first choioe of 160 acres each.
After this was done a bill was Intro-
duced and passed congress providing
for the division of the Kaw lands.
The Oiage Indian agent, O. A. IDt
scher, sub-agent at Kaw reservation,
and three members of the Kaw triU
constituted the commission to complet*
the Kaw allotment. Ths commission
was given thirty days in which to ac-
complish their work. They began the
latter part of March and by the end of
the first week in April the Kaw Indian*
had their land equally divided. Th*
actual time of alloting the land did not
praetioally exceed two days.
There are 947 Kaws and they received
405 sexes each. This division of land,
however, will not dissolve the tribal re-
lations. Any Indian deemed capable
will be allowed to withdraw from the
tribe and dispose of his land as any
American dtiaen would be allowed to
da The balance of tha tribe will be
allowed to dispose of his surplus land at
the end of 10 yean and their allot-
ment at the end of 35 years.
Several Indians have died during the
allotment and the land assigned tc
them will be sold to ths highest bid-
der. Besides the lsnd each Kaw In-
dian will receive in the neighborhood of
$1,000. Bach Indian will be allowed to
leaee his land for a term of ysars, which
will be an inoentive to white people to
locate and improve the rich land of the
Kaws.
Eighty acres has been platted and a
town called Wah-shan-gah, named
after the Kaw chief will be the only
town on the reservation.
The riohness of the valley land in the
reservation cannot be surpassed and the
prairie land will grow as good wheat a*
any in Oklahoma.
