THE

The presidential order anticipated by the
Press and Dakotaian a few days ago, restor.
ing to the public domain that portion of the
Sioux reservation lying east of the Missouri
river has been promulgated. The territory
embraced within this released reservation
was described in a previous issue. By the
order 8,259,750 acres are given to the uses
Of civilization. The tract lies along the
east side of the Missouri river from Yank.
ton agency to Standing Rock agency, and
extends east and west from the Missouri
river to the goth meridian. The old Win
nebago Indian reservation, at Grow Greek,
is of course still retained as Indian ground,
and the president in his order excludes
from its provisions small tracts opposite
Cheyenne and Standing Rock agencies and
opposite Grand river. The lands about the
neighborhood Of the mouth Of Grand river
we're probably retained under Indian juris-
diction through the supposition that an Ia.
dian agency existed at that point, which is
not the case, the Grand river agency having
been abandoned some years since. In the
region thus given over to settlement the
counties of Brule, Charles Mix and Buffalo
have been surveyed and such portions Of
them as lie outside of established Indian
reservations will now be subject Of entry.
The balance Of the tract will probably
receive the attention of the surveyors a.
soon as the necessary appropriation can be
made therefor. It is . rich and valuable
portion Of Dakota and will be largely occu-
pied by next years influx of immigration.
Such choice spots as Pauineau's bottom,
Bruls City, Medicine creek and Peoria bot
tom are already we'll known to the public,
and will probably receive immediate atten.
ton from homo seekers. All this region
was set apart BY executive orders in 1875
ostensibly Tor the purpose ofpreventinr thu
whites from crovding too closely upon The
Sioux. President .Hayes, in bis revocation
order, says that "these orders did NOT pre-
vent trespass BY reckless frontiefssnsa whe
preyed alike upon peaoeabls swhitssAndsh
dams, hence the lands are again thrown
open to settlement" The real facts in til,
case are that Delegate Bennett has succeed
ed in convincing the administration tina
this land is needed for white settlement an<
that the Sioux Indians have enough with
out them.
