EXECUTIVE MANSION, _December 21, 1885_.
_To the Senate and House of Representatives_:
I transmit herewith a communication of the 17th instant from the
Secretary of the Interior, submitting, with accompanying papers, a
report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs concerning the failure of
the Utah and Northern Railroad Company to compensate the Indians upon
the Fort Hall Reservation, in Idaho, for lands taken and used in
construction of their line of road crossing the reservation from north
to south.
The subject is recommended to the early attention and action of
Congress.
