When Portion of Rosebud Agency Is

Muchinterest Is felt at Yankton In the

when the lands are opened there will
be as great a rush as was the case re-
Gently in Oklahoma when there were
49,, 900 applicants for some thirteen thou
sand homesteads. The land is as good
as is to be found anywhere in the

cultural district.
There are APO, 600 acres of the Rose
bud reservation included In Gregory
county and Indian Inspector James III.
Mclaughlin has succeeded in perfect
ing a treaty with the Indians by which
this whole tract will revert back to the
government.
The Indians will receive $3.50 per
acre for the land, the amount to be
paid to them In five annual payments
OF s150,000 each; and the government
will put $3.50 900 into young breeding
stock and make improvements on the
reservations such as putting dams In.
to streams that need them, etc, to the
amount of $4,000. This will leave
that particular tribe OF Sioux in pretty
good shape as they viii have plenty of
land left, for the entire reservation CON-
tains about 1000, 900 acres.
