FREE LANDS FOR ALL.
Red Lake Indian Reservation
Soon to Be Opened.
It Contains 100000 Acres of the
Choicest Soil in Minnesota

On May s viii be thrown open to
settlement 900, 600 acres Of the richest
lands in Minnesota, comprising part Of
the Red Lake Indian reservation. This
tract is largely located In Beltrami
county, which is one of the northern
tier, and a point Of which projects
farther north than any other part Of the
United States.
Already thousands Of prospective set
tiers are gathering at various towns IN
the northern part Of the state, and with

a great tract of almost unexplored and
uninhabited land viii be transformed
into a busy and pOpulous agricultural
district. Only part of Beltrami is occu-
pied by the reservation. but the county
has never been organized and appears on
the maps ~ a great blank space with a
large body Of water known as Red lake
indicated in the center.
Tor ages probably this section has
been the hunting grounds Of the Chip
pewas and their ancestors, the Algon-
quins. There is only general and indef-
mite knowledge about It's character, but
it is known that it is bountifully watered
by hundreds Of lakes, as we'll as by many
streams, and that it is partially wooded
In the southern part there are forests Of
hard wood, and scattered about the 9th
err portions are tracts of pine woods.
There are great stretches of fertile prairie
land too, with boundaries of low wood
ed hills. The original reservation had
an area of almost q, 600, 600 acres, but
this was diminished to its present size
q few years ago by what is known as the
Nelson act. After this has been settled
the poor red man viii have left only
small tract, but that viii be sufficient
to allow each individual Indian farm

The opening is to be made under new
regulations prepared by the interior de-

fered only to hCmesteaders. BY this ar
rangement a settler must pay 81. 20 an
acre for his land and agree to live on it
fer at least five years. This is an adap-
tation of the old free presumption right
to the homestead act, and The idea IS to
secure bona tide settlers.
