RSUPT. EGGERS PI APPROVES RODEOlt;lt;oni.n»i* from Hi hi pngei3s*G under date of May 23. lf«29. which Luj relates to certain complaints filed tr*1 by Moses White Horse regarding Wel a celebration to be held on the tfr ras rodeo grounds at Wolf Point. *N-Vlt; at- which Moses states is being done cn^ tot without the consent of the Port °W en Peck Indians.For the information of the office. ***!* J desire to say that there is locat-!©• ed on the Fort Peck sub-agencv * spre reserve at Wolf Point the build- Balbe 'ng and grounds used for rodeo for m* purposes. The sub-agency reserve 'A at the present time is covered by be a grazing permit in favor of one ratl a | Ray Mitchell which permit was ,un regularly approved by the office. lak‘T ,,l bas been cus oniarv for the city Jhe , of Wolf Point to hold a rodeo cele- Ult; ’* bration each year during the month of July and occupy these *1grounds and buildings for that theht purpose. In fact, the buildings be- P*fl'* long to the city of Wolf Point,nt bloiir- In fairness to the Indians they belli*8 have been given free admissionn. each year to all exercises held on |artat the grounds; they have been em*o- ployed by the rodeo committee in ^le every capacity in which they if |C. would work, and the hay used for |hpid rodeo stock has always been pur- jrr#-k chased from the Indians if pos- fsible. 1911acci•* I note that Wolf Point has been tbej advertising their rodeo celebration ^#i to be held during the month of T July for home time past. This0 matter has not been called to mymaWilliO attention by the rodeo committee. MfJ On June 8 the mayor of the city 2 of Wolf Point and the chairman 0 of the Board of County t 'em mis- ^ - sioners came to see me and stated 2 that they would desire the use of the rodeo grounds and that they would make the same arrange-0 ments which hare been made heretofore. I wbNow. 1 am not certain that these ..officials are representing the rodeo ra;5 committee, but they made the re 0 | quest. I therefore respectfully re-5 commend that the city of Wolf *U Point be allowed to use the rodeo 1 °for*() grounds for their celebration this- year under the same terms and ■ conditions which have been grant-1 .- ed to them during the paet two' years, namely, that during their . ; three-day celebration that all In-^jdiane are given whatever employ-siaroent there is available which they . will accept; that they are admitted . 5 without admission fee. and thal . bay for the rodeo stock be pur- !nc chased from Indians if possible.wb«Very respectfully, in^C HAS BGGKR6.ScperintebdeDt tbt
