Charles L. Davis gives Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock the requested report on the use and operation of Sullys Hill National Park for 1906. Davis’s duties at the Devils Lake Agency made it impossible for him to closely monitor visitors to the park. He notes the lack of appropriations from Congress, which have made it impossible to improve or develop the park. Davis recommends that if the Department of the Interior does not intend to provide funding for the park, the land be returned to the public domain and sold so that the funds can benefit the Native American tribes who originally occupied the land.
