Must Buy or Move Ont.

In one day recently the Union Pa
cific land department sold $4,000 acres
of territory in western Kansas in
different lots. This is mostly grazing
land, and the fact that sales of that
magnitude are becoming almost daily
occurrences brings out sharply the
predicament in which the big cattle
men and extensive stock raisers are
finding themselves in the sunhower
state. Where not so many years since
they simply assumed the right to use
the western grazing lands, and where
just recently they were compelled
only to lease it from the railroads,
they now find themselves under the
necessity of buying the land outright
if they wish to retain feeding ter
ritory sufficient for their stock.
