reservations soon to be opened go to
some particular land Office to register:

or rather till the drawing has been

Answer to question No. lit will
be necessary for a person who wishes
to secure land on the Rosebud reser-
vation, or that portion of it which is
to be opened in Gregory county, to go
in. person to register. Chamberlain
will be a point of register, and it is
likely that another point of register
which will be established near the
land which is to be opened. probably
Bonesteel. The name, age and a full
description will be taken OF the party
registered so that there will be no
chance for fraud.
Answer to question No. 2-The fact
that one registers for a chance at the
Rosebud lands does not prohibit his
taking a chance at any other land
opening. That is provided he does
not exercise his right.
Answer to question No. 3.-The
first name drawn out of the box will
be entitled to the first choice of a
quarter section Of land in the part of
the reservation opened for settlement.
The second name out of the box will
be entitled to the second choice and
so on down through the entire list un-
ttltthc last quarter section Of land IN
the part of land in the part of the
reservation to be opened has been filed
upon.
Answer to question No. 4.-There
will be no fee for registering for a
chance at the drawing. However as
soon as the drawing is made and a
person wishes to file it will be neces-
sary for him to put up IN addition to
81 per acre, the sum of S14 which v
ers all expenses in connection with
filing. After the first year it will lbe
necessary to pay Is cents per acre each
year until the full amount of 81 per
acre has been paid.
Chamberlain will be the point where
all filings will have to be made.
Chamberlain will be the point where
the drawings for selection will be
made: A person who secures a quar-
ter section of this land can commute
in fourteen months. That is at the
end of fourteen months. That is at
the end of fourteen months he can
pay the full amount and secure title.
A person can relinquish his chance
after the drawing is made.
In this connection the Argus-Lead-
er would advise all those who contem-
plate taking a chance at securing a
home in the Rosebud lands to beware
of frauds. 1t is understood that un
%scrupulous parties are sending. out
circulars claiming that they have the
inside track and can guarantee parties
first choice (for a certain considera-
tion.) These parties are frauds and
the party who gives up a dollar un.
der these conditions will be out their
money and alsoa chance for a draw
IN the final show down.
