NEW YORK. Dec. "A special to
The World from Washington says:
Representative Lacey OF Iowa. chair
zpan OF the committee on public lands,
said in an interview regarding the COM
ing 10 America OF Boer families:
IF the Roens want 10 come to Ameri-
ca they VIII be able to find plenty Of
land While greater part OF the most
desirable has already been preempted.
there remains enough to furnish home
steads for al the families who come.
II believe fhe state Of Texas would
offer greater inducements to the Beers
than any other place. II is true there
are no public lands in Texas. When
that state entered the union 1t reserved
all its lands and they are now known
as school lands. These can be bought
for from N-25 to 81 an acre with five
years To pay It in. There will be sew
eral million acres OF good land in Ok
lahoma opened for settlement in the
spring.
There Is a settlement in my commun-
ity which everybody is proud Of. Two
townships were bought up and Hol-
landers reside there. These people are
among the most Industrious in the
state.
THE Beers can find land anywhere
IN the west-Colorado. Montana. New
Mexico-alnost any Western state.
They can buy land there for very little
,or settle on the public domain and cul-
tivate that land
1T is notable thing that every
where Hollanders or Germans or peo-
ale OF that character have settled the
price of property Immediately increases.
They are good 7elghbors. good citizens
and will be welcome in any commun-
ity."
Senator Teller Of Colorado said:
''The Soers wonld prove valuable cit
izens and would be gladly received in
any portion of the United States in
which they might settle. The most de-
sirable lands open for settlement under
the homestead act have already been
taken. II the Beers have money they
can secure good land for very little.
II do not believe that they could set
tie and make anything out of the arid
lands. They probably do not under
stand irrigation and Of course their
lands would he worthless without it. |
l should be very glad to have them set
tie In the United States as they would
be good citizens.
"a settlement of Beers would un-
doubtedly receive every inducement to
settle in certain sections of the coun-
try. They could buy land on long time
payments and by their thrift and in
dustry soon acquire homestead"
