TIE CON- "a with the Sac
and Fox latol 1golUf the Iowa reser-
walton, covering an area f1fty-two miles
long and eighteen wide. After the MEM
bers Of the tribe have taken $4,000 acres in
allotment thers will be left 397 900 acres for
the whites only about half Of which is
good farming land, the balance being very
rough and broken. These Indians have
three months in which to pick their
lands. The Iowa reservation is eighteen
miles wide AMI thirty-six miles long and
contains 22s, 5 . acres, of which about
81, 900 acres Will be allotted to the Indians
This Is good farming and grazing coun.
try and is partly covered with timber.
The Pottawatomie reservation lying
east Of the southern portion OF Oklahoma
proper, contains 575. 900 acres out of which
2.050 Indians are to receive allotments OF
100 acres each. This land is among the
finest in the territory and is thickly
covered with timber. Many streams fur
nish power for mills and factories. Many
of these Indians have held their lands in
severality for several years and 10y their
treaty they agreed to make all their Sc
lections by February s, 1881. Congress,
however extended the time until April S,
and by that time the lands will be divided.
AS soon thereafter rs the preiminaries
are gone through with this land VIII be
opened for settlement.
The Cheyenne and Arapahoe reservation
OF 4,297, III acres lies west of Oklahoma,
and the eastern part of it contains the
most fertile lands in the territory. The
rich river valleys are adapted to the culti-
vation of cotton, tobacco, grain and veg
etables of all kinds. There are $500 In
dians on this reservation who are to re-
ceive 100 acres each.
The treaty provides that the Indians
shall have ninety days from its ratification
in which to make their selections; that in
the following thirty days the secretary of
the interior shall make allotmentS to those
who have failed to make selections, and
that the secretary may have power to eX-
tend this time as he may see fit. Thus it
will be seen that these lands can not be
open for settlement until after July 4, and,
as nearly half of the active members of
these two tribes are now engaged in dane
ing and refuse to make any selections, the
secretary will probably find it necessary to
extend the time several months beyond
this date.
In making their selections of land these
Indians must take one-half grazing and
one-half agricultural lands and where any
one of them has made improvements on
the land he has the first right to pick the
land containing them. They also have
the right to take their allotment in the
Wichita reservation if so desire. In all
the reservations the land chosen by In |
dians will be held in trnst by the secretary |
OF the interior for twenty five years, when |
1t shall be patented to them or their heirs |
free of all incumbrance
The popularity of Hoods Sarsapariils |
Increases every year. 1t is the best blood |
purifier.
