MORE LAND IN SIGHT.
Another Big Body Of Land to Be Sold
at Auction

Lawton, o. T.. March 13.-The United
States government will soon throw open
for settlement the great pasture reserve
in Comanche county. The land will be
disposed of by auction st Lawton. a bill
having been passed for that purpose.
In many respects it will be as stupendu-
Gus and unique a thing as lAe great land
lottery was at FL Reno. The land was at
that time set aside for the use Of the
Kiowa and Comanche Indians, who failed
to make use of il. There are 1,156 farms
of 160 acres each nj these lands If the
land sells at s. an acre, very low esti-
mate. the sale would aggregate $500 ,O00
When the contract for alloting the lands
in the Kiowa country was entered into
the government agreed to set apart for
the Indians $4,000 acres of land for pas
ture, the rentals to go to the Indians
This was 1e0 acres of land for each In
dian. The number of farms tied up in
the Kiowa-C -Comanche country is exactly
equal to the Indian population.
The big Comanche pasture includes
much of the Red river bottoms. 1t is
said that no lands which was opened to
settlement through the Ell Reno drawing
has such large body of uniformly good
land as that in the $4,000 acre tract i'm
mediately south of this city.
