We learn that land warrants for 100 acres

This, at first, does not look large. Let us

at s145. Perhaps the pressure of this new
demand will raise them to $50, or more

Sale of Public Lands-eood News,

Sale Of Public Lands---Good Newsi
We published, q few weeks since, notice
that the lands lying in the Lecompton and
Kiekapoo Land Distrists of this Territory
had been, by proclamation of the President
of the United States, advertised for sale
the sales to take place in July next. Since
then We have obtained possession of copy
of the Presidents proclamation, from which
We learn that the entire Lecompton District
is not offered for sale, but is bounded as fol-
lows: Commencing at point on the Kan
zas river on the west line of the Shawnee
Indian Reservation, about four miles east of
Lawrence, and following the line of the
Trust lands south to the south line of town
ship seventeen, thence east to the east line
of range twenty-five, thence south to the
south line of township twenty-five, thence
west to the west line of range fourteen,
thence north to the south line of the Pot
tawatomie Reserve, thence east to the east
line of said Reserve, thence north to the
Kanzas river, and thence along said river to
the place of beginning. -
This, it viii be seen, does not include
Richardson. Breckinridge, Madison or Green
wood counties. or the counties lying west OF
them and south of the Kanzas river.
This is good news for the settlers in this
region. many of whom would have been
obliged to borrow money to pre-empt their
claims with at such exhorbitant rates of in
terest that the land would ultimately fall
into the hands of spectators. The respite,
however, may be but short one. II is
quite possible that the President will order
the sale of the remaining lands in this Dis
trict next fall, by which time, however, the
farmers win have realized something from
their summers work, and money matters
viii be much easier.
The exemption from sale, however, of the
lands of this section is an especial advan-
tsge to the material interests and prosperity
of the county in another regard. The great
attraction which Kansas affords to the emf
grant is the easy opportunity offered to pro-
cure farm at Government price, without
any risk of competition with speculators.-
The Southwest is the central point of at
traction, from its many advantages and the
peculiar one which it now possesses over
other portions is its exemption from sale
giving the settler chance for home-will
combine to render it still more attractive,
snd advance its material interests to great
degree.
