The New Oklahoma.

PIERRE, DAK., May Ii. The boom for the
Sioux reservation still continues, and The
excitement is daily growing greater. The
prospects are that before sixty days the
boom will equal if not exceed Oklahoma
times. An agent representing colony OF
600 families from the DEVILS Lake district
in North Dakota is on the grolnd to ar.
range for the colony to come at once whel
the success Of The Sioux commission is as
sured. The fact that crops in North Da-
kota have been blasted by frosts two
seasons, induces people to seek new home,
on the Sioux reservation. The ferry al
Pierre is doing big business, transferring
prospective home- seekers across the
Missouri river.
