Public Lands I'm oklahoma.

A careful investigation of the public
records discloses the fact that there are
yet several millions of acres of public
lands in Oklahoma yet subject to home
stead entry and settlement.
1t has generally been understood that
all the lands in Oklahoma fit for agri-
cultural purposes are already occupied
but such is not the fact. Owing to the
method adopted for the opening Of these
lands to settlement, in many cases as
high as five or six persons would settle
on single track On the day of the race,
and rather than stand the expense of 4
contest, or run the risk of other trou-
BILE, would, unknown to each other,
abandon the land. Again, the main
race for lands 1t those openings was for
tracts near the cities or proposed town
sites and along the lines of railroads,
and thus many hundreds of almost
equally as good farms as are in Okla
homa were passed. over in the mad rush
for homes.
1t is true that large portion of the
yet unclaimed public lands are more fit
for stock-raising than for agricultural
purposes; yet there are still hundreds of
good homes awaiting the taking in that
country and undoubtedly a large num-
Der of eastern people will take advan-
tage of the same the coming season.
