Rfissonrlsns win divide the lions share OF
the new lands with Oklahoma and the In

connection that many people from vari-

means for the settlement of the newcom-

this plan for providing consolation prizes
can be successfully carried out remains to
be seen. Meantime private town-site
schemes are being worked for all they
