It was estimated that about 2,000 could be given homes from the public domain. The above estimates proved inadequate in some respects. There were some 2,000 more Indians in the State than had been estimated and fewer Indians had land of their own than was supposed. Still as it proved possible to take care of 4,200 from the public domain and within the National Forests, the number from whom land must be purchased was not increased. Congress has recently appropriated $10,000 more for the purchase of land for these Indians, but this will not be enough to take care of one-half of those remaining. When this appropriation shall have been used, nearly 10,000 of the California Indians will have been given homes. The others should be provided for immediately. It should be understood that all this has been done without the establishment of reservations or agencies and with practically no expense for maintenance. In comparison with the magnitude of the work, the expense has been small and it must be conceded that the debt which the Government owes the California Indians is by no means extinguished. The present land situation (1914) in California is about as follows: On reservations, No. Calif. 1,944 On reservations, So. Calif. 3,416 On allotments, No. Calif. (Old) 2,800 On allotments, So. Calif. (Old) 250 On allotments, No. Calif. (New) 400 On allotments, So. Calif. (New) 238 On National Forests 3,000 On newly purchased lands 4,800 Allotments arranged for 600 On land owned by Indians 300 On land owned by churches, societies, etc. 250 Not yet taken care of 1,841 —————— 19,839
