years past has been growing wool and
breeding sheep III Texas. In the course
Of this conversation he gave us some
ideas that we deem worthy of presen :

A dispatch from Washington says that
by direction of tire secretary of the Int
rior the remainder of the lands of the
Otoe and Missouri Indian reservation in
Kansas and Nebrarka, comprising about
$4,000 acres, will be offered for public
sale at the United States land office in
Beatrice, Neb.. on the Both of MAY next.
Senator VanWyck, who has been instru-
meQtal in bringing about this sale, asked
Secretary Teller to send an officer from
the department to superintend it, and it
is probable that Commissioner Mcfarland
will go TO Nebraska for that purpose. By
parties who have seen this land and trav-
eled over it, We learn it contains as rich
and fine soil as any land in the United
States The location of this reservation
is the most desirable to settlers, it being
in the eastern part of Nebraska and Dor
dering on Iowa. 1t is expected there will
be great demand for this land when the
sale takes place.
