onen to Settlement.

Tile bill passed by the lower house of
congress will provide for throwing open to
settlement of over 100000 acres OF
land in the Northwest. The ratification
OF the agreement made with tho Indians
on the Great Northern reservation OF
Montana will release II, 500, 600 acres OF
land in that territory.
1t is not unlikely that the Bloods, Black.
feet and Picsans, who occupy that portion
OF the reservation including the foothills
OF the Rocky mountains and whose lands
are not valuable for either grazing or
farming will be removed to the Flathead
agency and given allotments there,
provided trade can be made with the
llatheads, who at present oppose
tho scheme. The Great Sioux bill
tasscd recently will throw open $4,000,
These lands are mostly elevated p!ateaus
extending from the Missouri to the loot
hills OF the Black Hills between the White
and Cheyenne rivers: They are fairly wa.
tered, and while there are some beds Of
's"mbo' or alkaii land, it is
lands. Mr.. Nelson 8 bill, which takes the
place OF the agreements made by the
Northwestern Indian commission with the
cation the Indian office very much
desired, throws open to settlement
and purchase 100000 acres Of
good lands. most OF which are covered
with pine timber. The bill consoli.
dates the various bands OF Chippewas with
the exception OF The Red Lake Indians
| upon the White Earth reservation, and
opens up the very small reservations
which these bands occupy at present. The
extent of these reservations and their
number has long made them an obstacle
to the settlement OF some parts of the
state. and to the development OF it's re.
sources owing TO the difficulty OF railroad
building through them. The reservations
aud their present tent is as follows:
Eois Fort, 1917, 500 acres; Deer Creek,
q. Gao ac:'es; Fon du Lac, 1OO,121 acres;
GRAND Portage. 5l,S40 acres; 1eech Lake,
81. acres; Mile Laos, 64.9 acres;
Vermillion Lake; ,OsO acres; White Earth,
