K1owA LAND OPENING.
NJ. A. Low Appeared in Washington in
Support of the Bill.

Washington, JAN 2O.-The senate
committee on Indian affairs heard
arguments on the bill introduced by
Delegate Mcclure opening to settle
ment 505.0O0 acres of timber and
grazing lands in the Kiowa country
which were set apart when the Kiowa
reservation was opened. The Indian
commissioner, Mr.. Leupps and Colonel
Randlett, the Kiowa agent, appeared
in opposition to It and Delegate Nc
Guire and NJ. A Low, of the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific railroad in
support of it.
Mr.. Leupp and Colonel Randlett
said that they opposed the proposition
to open the reservation because that
would mean that the Indians would
be deprived of a substantial income
they are now receiving in the form of
lease money from the cattlemen for
using it for grazing purposes and be-
cause it is gradually increasing in
value In reply to this contention Mr.
ArGuire asserted that the opening of
the lands would be to the interest of
the Indians.
