Supervisor Lipps agreed with the Indian student’s parents that the Cut Bank Boarding School was in poor condition, but blamed the Principal and reported that the engineer and the laborer were just completing the repairs to the laundry; “He told me that they had all the material there and he could see no reason why the repairs had not been made long ago; that Superintendent McFatridge has given him everything he had asked for, and that he had never worked for a man he liked better. As to the agency jail, I will say that I have visited it a number of times. The building is combined jail and police headquarters, and it is by far the best building of the kind to be found on any reservation in my jurisdiction. It is not furnished as we would have our homes furnished. In fact like all of our jails it must take the old beds and furniture discarded by the boarding school as little new furniture is anywhere provided for agency jails. The building needs a few repairs, but I have always found it clean and in a very good condition. If Mr. Baker thinks the jail here is so horribly filthy and bad I am curious to know in what language he described the conditions of the jails at the Flathead, Coeur d’Alene, Colville and Fort Lapwai agencies. I have never seen but one really modern and up-to-date jail in the Service, and that was just being completed at Lac du Flambeau last fall when I was there. I am sure Mr. Baker is wrong in his statement that Mr. McFatridge has lost the respect and confidence of the Indians and of the best class of white men on the reservation. I am quite sure that practically all of the progressive Indians and most of the better class of whites have confidence in Mr. McFatridge and have great respect for him. The men who disliked McFatridge were the drinking, gambling, wife beating class that Mr. McFatridge had gone after them and broken up the gambling and drinking and other lawlessness on the reservation and he had sent a number of horse and cattle thieves and bootleggers to the penitentiary and that he had thus incurred the enmity of the loafing, lawless class. The mixed-bloods told him that even his most bitter enemies had never accused him of being dishonest, and they told him that Robert Hamilton is a known horse thief and absolutely unreliable.”
