NO TITLE.

Yankton COMMISSIONS Groff's
order prohibiting the purchase Of Indian
titles to Dakota lands. has a dampening
effect upon the townsite boomers along
the west side of the Missouri river. They
cannot sell town lots without title, and
intending purchasers are not inclined to
rely upon the Indians promise, to re-
linqish his claim when he can legally do
so, as there is no real demand for more
towns, the public will not suffer from
this order.

badly maintain their locations on the west
ern hemisphere solely because of the
law OF attraction--unless absorbed by ex-
pansion OF more energetic neighbors.
