Usage LANDS At AUCTION.
Scattered in Small Tracts Owes
Four Kansas Counties.
UPSET PRICE s1.25 AN ACRE.

Topeka. May 6--Several thousand
acres, probably somewhere between
100, 900 and 200, 900 acres of land in
Clark. Kiowa Comanche and Barber
counties will be put up and sold at
public auction at the Dodge City land
office in a short time. These lands are
known as the Usage Indian lands.
They must bring s4.a5 cents an acre
Register ettijohn. of the Dodge City
land office says of these lands:
when the government opened
South western Kansas to settlement,
the Usage Indians had a big reserva-
ton in that section. This reservation
ran east of Wichita. The government
allotted a certain portion of the land
to the Indians but held it in trust for
them for a period of years. That peri
cd expired some years ago and the
land was placed on sale. Much of it
has already been sold, especially that
in the eastern part of the reservation.
and the proceeds turned over This
land is not all in one tract. In fact,
there are no large Usage tracts left at
all 1t is divided in forties, eighties
and quarter sections. There are
mighty few quarter sections. Most of
it is in forties and eighties 1t is scat
tered all over the four counties men
toned. Some of it is as fine land as
ever lay out doors, but most of it is
and e only for grazing purposes.
1.-THE upset price will be 81. 25 per
acre. Much of the land will sell for
four five times that amount, but the
most of it will go cheap. An absolute
title will go with each sale, and it will
not be necessary to live on the land
afterwards to hold 1T. 1t will be an
outright sale. The cattlemen of the
Southwest will doubt gobble up the
most of it.
The interior department has served
notice that the fences around govern
ment land must come down. A few of
the ranchmen are holding back, but
most of them viii obey the order
without going into court. 1t is this
class that is now buying up land.
They want to get the public land all
taken by private parties. Then they
can buy out the parties aud acquire
absolute title to the land. They are
now gobbling up all the private land
they can, and are buying up tax GER
tifieates on land bid in by the counties
and are taking tax deeds to the land
They are determined to hold South
western Kansas as grazing country"

at the reception at Austin and a pic
turesque scene at Prairie View, where
the president addressed the colored
