leave what is known as the lower
farm six miles below the Agency,
does single allotment reach more
than a half mile back from the riv.
er, and in many cases they do not
extend nearly so far. There are
bottoms that are two or three miles
wide. There are many good homes
in these when the strong and will
ing arm of the farmer puts them in
shape.
For the man who wishes to settle
on the Siletz and feels uncertain OF
making a living for year or two, or
until he gets his ground partly in a
state Of cultivation, there is chance
10 lease Indian land for cultivation.
The Indians can now lease their
lands for from one to three years
for farming purposes. This would
give man a chance to get home
started, some la nd cleared up and a
start made.
In conclusion we would say that
the Siletz country does not have all
of the advantages in the world, but
to the man who is toiling his life
out OH rented farm, offers a home
where he can BE- free and indepen-
dent. 1t offers all opportunity for
a man of limited means to get
good piece of land in agood county
in a good state. The country is
going to settle up. There are hun
dreds of men who are looking for
just such chance to get land. So
if person wants to make a home
where every effort of honest toll
will be rewarded; where the killing
hot winds and the destructive cy-
clones are unknown; where it can
be truly said that, "the husband
man tickles the earth with hoe
and it laughs forth an abundant
harvest;" where nature has been so
prolific that man can live with the
mallest amount of effort. and the
bllance of his labors be fully re-
warded, then let him come to the
land of the Siletz i'll Lincoln county.
We can picture i'll our minds the
happy, prosperous and contented
people that the land of the Siletz
will contain and shelter in it's beau-
tiful valleys and on its sunny hill
sides before many years have passed
away. Can anyone imagine more
enhancing picture than home on
the banks Of the beautiful Siletz,
with the field and the orchard On
winch the lusbandman can rely with
calm content, knowing that he has
only to put forth the effort of his
labor and it will be fully rewarded.
His fiocks and herds pasture on the
hillsides and in the glades; his gar
den, grain aid fruits ripen in the
sun, his bees gather honey from the
clover fields, the buds and the BIOS
SONS; the timber furnishes his fuel,
fencing, etc.; the river gives him
fish, and in the forest are deer and
other game. Should not peace,
prosperity and contentment rest up
on the man who makes his home
under these conditions1 Then come

You might wish for the broad acres
OF prairie where you could wear
mind and body out trying to grow
corn or wheat. You may not take
kindly to our country with its di-
versified products. But come and
see the land anyway. View its hills
and its valleys. Gaze on its tall.

down the river and pay tribute to

do not think you could not live and
prosper amid It's hills and valleys,
return from whence you came.
