4. As Chief Health Officer, he should know enough to advise and support the physicians, who require more of direction and guidance than one would imagine; and among the Indians he is in great measure responsible for the legality of their actions. In times of epidemic he must lead. 5. He is the Chief of Indian Police. 6. He is a special deputy officer of the Liquor Service, a branch designed for the suppression of the liquor traffic among Indians. 7. He is Judge of the Indian Court, with the powers of a magistrate, unless there is an intelligent Indian who may be commissioned so to act. Such are not in the Arizona Desert. If there should be intelligent Indians to act, the Agent has appellate power. 8. He is the Game Warden. 9. He holds hearings, determines heirs, and probates estates. 10. He often makes allotment of lands to Indians and determines values. 11. He is Superintendent of Indian Trade, recommends those persons who seek Governmental license to trade with Indians at designated trading-posts, and is expected to regulate the prices of that trade in accordance with market conditions. 12. Should the Indians have moneys accruing from supervised activities, such as the leasing or sale of lands, or from stock-selling, and so on, the Agent first sets his approval on the leases or sales, and thereafter acts as banker of the money. 13. As banker again, he makes loans to Indians under the Government’s reimbursable plan, whereby an Indian may purchase of the Agent livestock, implements, materials, tools, or seed, with borrowed money, and repay such loans during a period of years. 14. In the Navajo country he guarantees the genuineness of the famous Navajo blanket before it goes to market. 15. He should encourage Indian agriculture, seek to improve their livestock holdings, and generally strengthen their industries. 16. Under an Act of the Legislature of Arizona, he issues marriage licenses as a clerk of the court, and may solemnize marriage. 17. He is to see that all Indian children between the ages of six and eighteen years attend school; to provide and equip properly the schools; and to improve if possible the sanitary and moral conditions of the Indian communities. 18. In some places, and the Moqui Reservation is one, he should police and protect Indian ceremonies, such as the Snake Dance. 19. He has authority to make minor regulations in good judgment for the government of Indian country of his jurisdiction; and in larger measures, if he is informed and possesses a backbone, he usually sways the policy of the Service as it affects his people.
