Minco, l. T, March 4-Louis Horn
beck has an article in this weeks Min
strel that can hardly fail to interest pros
pective settlers in the K1owa and Co.
manche country. He says:
TT is popularity supposed that the land
embraced in what is known as the Kiowa
and Comanche country was TO be thrown
open to white settlement after allowing
an allotment to each member Of the In
dian tribes resident thereon by a former
treaty. 1sut there must be a mistake
about the matter somewhere, and the
mistake is about as large as the original
proposition. The talk goes that an agree
ment was made with the K1owas and
Comanches and a former band Of civil
Apaches to give them each an allotment
Of 100 acres, and then throw the balance
Of the reservation open TO white settle
ment. That Is the common talk and the
common idea in reference to the DISPOSE
ton of the Kiowa and Comanche reserva-
ton. But there is another story, not
quite so fascinating. but far more truth
full than the above. The revised version
Of the original scripture makes provision
for an agency reserve at Anadarko; tC~
an extensive reserve for the Rainy
Mountain Indian school; for similar re-

BY this it viii be clearly seen that the
allOtments to the FZiowas and Comanches
cut rather a small figure IN the whole
grab. except that they take up the bot
tom lands on the principal streams.
Now after aH this. Senator Harris Of
Kansas brings forward a biz providing
for allotment Of some 30 Wyandotte In
