Chief Joseph has proved himself to be a thorough business man while in 
Washington. He has concluded a contract with the Secretary of the Interior and 
a bill has been introduced by the Chairman of the House Indian Committee to 
give effect to this contract, which provides that in consideration of the 
cession by the Indians of their Idaho lands, they will be given in the Indian 
Territory four townships of good agricultural land and $250,000 to be invested 
in 4 per cent bonds as a permanent fund for the benefit of the band. The price 
of the new lands and cost of removal thereto are to be paid by the United 
States.
