FUTURE OF SAND HILLS SURE
Prosperous Development Certain with
Water and Bronze Grass,
says Judge Reese.

Judge John Reese, receiver of the land
Office at Broken Bow, was in Omaha Thurs
day, summoned as a witness before the
federal grand jury in some of the land
fencing and fraudulent land filing cases.
Il do not subscribe to the doctrine that
the public land in the cattle country COM
prises a series of barren sand hills as is
so often asserted by the cattlemen and
others who desire to monopolize the lands
for their private use" said he. las a mat
ter of fact, more filings were made on
these lands in our district during the
month of April just passed than in any
one month for several years. These fl
ings are usually made under the Kinkaid
act for whole sections by bona fde set
tiers. 1t has been discovered in recent
years that seeding these lands down to
bronze grass has had a beneficial effect.
A fine sod is now appearing all through
that country.
For actual agricultural purposes there
are doubtless many drawbacks, but for
grazing purposes, even for small cattle
raisers, they are excellent. Water can
be found in abundance in any Of the val
| legs at from 40 to 100 feet, and on the
high lands they seldom have to go depeer
than 900 feet. with the introduction OF
bronze grass, and the facility of obtaining
water at easy depths. the future of the
sand hill country is settled. Instead OF
| the cattle business being ruined by the
| land investigations and consequent restor.
alton of the public domain to actual set
| tiers take 1t that the cattle business /,
on the eve OF its greatest and continued
prosperity"
