In the year 1875 the President withdrew
from settlement two large tracts of land on
the northeast bank OF the Missouri river, in
the Territory of Dakota. The territory thus
withdrawn lies opposite the great Sioux reser-
walton, northeast OF Yankton, Dakota. The
object was to prevent the whites from press
ing TO closely upon the Indian frontier. 1t
has been found, however, in practice that the
Executive orders referred to prevented
peaceable and Industrious settlers from talk
ing up lands within the limits of the
precautionary reservation, but did not
deter the more lawless class of from
tiersmen from making the neutral ground
thus established basis tor criminal operations
against'both Indians and whites. 1t has been
decided, therefore, to throw open the greater
part OF this region to settlement, and the
President, by executive order, has restored to
the public domain 8 $3.50, 200 acres on the north
eastern bank of the Missouri river.
The President has accepted an invitation OF
