commission TO procure this assent IS com

that they are less IN detail and leave more to
the discretion OF the commission. The plan OF
the Secretary has been 10 seek good men for
commissioners and then leave them 10 work
as much possible IN their own way. The
department is quite confident OF the success
OF the intended negotiations, and that conf
dence Is generally shared by Northwestern
men here. The Indians have already in
dlcated their intention 10 accede 10 the pro
visions OF the bill. and will probably unhesi-
tatingly give their consent and allow the land
TO be opened TO settlement civilization and
prosperity.

ton and II will have attraction for the i'm.

little capital ii offers the most promising loca-
tion now open at Government price IN the
whole public domain.

manifested throughout this section upon the
opening OF the Sioux reservation, and hun
dreds OF men are preparing and now awaiting

preparations and viii not be left
