UNION. SELTZER, TARR Ant
COUNTY, TEX, June 8, ISL.
To the Gazette.
Arrangements have been completed this
week for the forward movement on the
Fort sill country. Our border loca-
ton is in Wichita county. with tire Texas
Iowa colony and Specht's colony. While
the colonies are separate and distinct our
interests are mutual. Iowa Park will be
our shipping point and base OF supplies on
the Fort Worth and Denver railroad. About
nine miles north of Iowa Park is Clara ~
(Specht's colony on the Territory border
Our colony is offered lots free Ito actual
settlers) atClara, while contracts are drawn
to lay OFF Union addition at Iowa Park and
sell TO our colony at government priCe, $40
per lot, Ito actual settlers. These are bet
ter terms than we will get in the Fort Sill
country for town people. Whyi Because
the government price n town lots is the
same as Iowa Park lots for our addition,
and we are in railroad town of about
twelve hundred people with all the neces-
sarieS and comforts and most of the lux
Cries of life. At Clara on the border you
are offered lots $40 cheaper than you will
get across the river for the farmers. We
have received assurances that they can rent
land from ten to one hundred and sixty
acres either for cash or shares. This will
enable our farmers to plant crop this fall
and raise their OWL supplies to keep them
on their homesteads the first year.
To our members: The above arrange-
ments are made for you one and all alike. l
viii have the colony agent at Iowa Park as
soon Us possible. Until YOU get notice to
that effect, D. c. Kolp oil Iowa Park will
furnish you information as to Iowa Park
and its surroundings. Your circular letter
(No. y will furnish you information
soon to secure your emigrant rates now. l
will arrange for excursion (half fare) if
possible at any tine that sufficient crowd
want to go and see the country and its
advantages. On receipt of this notice
every member that wants to go on the
excursion from Fort Worth to the Fort Sill
country write me at once, stating what
date would suit them best.
Since our last communication see in THE
GAZETTE the Kiowas have taken their land
in allotments. That guarantees the early
opening OF ''our country" The IIiowas
and Comanches are in the Fort Sill country
With the kiowas opening up their land to
settlers and US having cattlomen's rights in
the COmancheS, the country is in a fair way
TO surrender to the inevitable. The only
drawback is the cattlemen in the ComancheS,
and we are in a position 10 stand in with the
ring on our colony lease or have the whole
crowd put out, we IRE not at all particular
which it Is The cattlemen can take their
choice which Of the propositions suits them.
We can carry our poiIu on ether. When
all hands were ordered to get out and stay
out in December of last year the boomers
stayed out, thus showing their res pect for
the officers and laws. The cattlemen re
spected neither. Now let them yell boomers
to their hearts content. The public inter
est, sympathy and respect is on the side of
the boomers, and that guarantees ''the
Fort Sill country Is ours"
