fhree for Uintah— not to do the work for the Indians, bat to teach them how to do it IhemselyeSf to help them to select good places for their fields, to show them how to fence the same, and to break their land, and plant, irrigate, calti vate, and harvest their 'Crops. Then, fewer blankets and more fence-wire and agrionltaral implements, less tepee cloth and more lumber, the issue of the agency herds of cattle to them in sever- ity, some sort of compulsion in the matter of sending their childre...n to school, and the allotment of lands to them in severalty as soon and as generally as the same can be done. The work of civilizing the Utes wil^ be slow under any condition of things. It will take more than one generation, under the most favorable circumstances and with the best means that can possibly be devised, to elevate them to a satisfactory standard of civilization. But with reasonable facilities at his command, and an ade* quate force of industrial teachers, as above sueffested, I believe any competent agent could make them produce from tue first year allof everything they need for their sup- port except beef; and by issuing the agency cattle to them in severalty, and giving them proper encouragement and attention, they could be made in a few years to produce ^heir own meat supply.
