Interior Secretary decision over Upper McKay reservation allotment
Janes Herrick of Wales writes to challenge a ruling by the Interior Department on allotment of the Upper McKay Creek country within the reservation. The dispute centers on land previously taken from Indians for white purchases under Acts 160 and related timbered lands, with broad implications for many settlers and pending actions at the Grand La Grande office. The issue involves the legality of second purchases and potential reversals, tied to a Centennial celebration and reserve property concerns.
