Three Thousand Farms in the Big
Pasture of Oklahoma
TO BE SOLD TO HIGHEST BIDDER
Each Purchaser Limited to a Quar-
ter Section and Five Years.
Residence Required

Guthrie, Okla. - It now seems
probable that there will be another
opening" in Oklahoma before very
long, but it will be neither horse
race, like the opening of old Okla
homa and the Cherokee strip, nor a
lottery such as characterized the
opening Of the Kiowa and Comanche
country. The "big pasture" in Kio-
wa and Comanche counties, where
President Roosevelt had his famous
wolf hunt last year, Is to be the
next extensive tract of land opened
to settlement. The bill introduced
by Congressman Stephens Of Texas,
authorizing such action, was passed
by the house some time ago, and has
been favorably reported by the SEN
ate committee on Indian affairs,
which would seem to insure it's final
passage.
The pasture, which is located
along the Red river bottoms, and
includes some Of the finest agricul-
tural land in the territory, contains
something over 100000 acres, which
would mean 5000 farms of 160 ac-
res each to be occupied by Okla
homa farmers. When the rest Of the
Kiowa and Comanche country was
sold, this tract was set aside for pas
turage purposes, the rentals to go to
the Indians. They are still very
much opposed to the cutting up Of
the pasture, and Chief Quanah Par
ker of the Comanches, may go to
Washington to protest against the
bill.
The measure now before the SEN
ate provides for the sale Of the land
in 1G0 acre tracts, to the highest
bidder, but in no instance less than
$1.5O per acre. Under ruling
made by the secretary Of the inter-
ior last fall, several thousand acres
Of the pasture have been leased for
agricultural purposes, and accord
ing to the Stephens bill, all sales
shall be subject to these leases, the
rentals to go to the purchasers after
the sale. The lands are to be paid
for in five equal installments, and
the purchaser must reside on the
land during the five years in which
these payments are being mace. This
is expected to insure the purchase
OF the lands by bona fide settlers,
and to prevent speculation in the
lands, as nearly as that can be done

the demands of business. the wants OF

praiseworthy effort to keep up with all

weakened or debilitated condition OF
the nervous system, which results IN
dyspepsia, defective nutrition of both
body and brain, and in extreme cases
in complete nervous prostration. 1t Is
clearly seen that what is needed, is
what will sustain the system, give Wig

LOCAL COMMENT

The settlement of Marshalltown' S
paving controversy is now up to the
people. While it is not all that could
have been wished it is all that can be
obtained without endless litigation and
it remains for each property owner to
decide whether he would rather take
the company's guarantee for five years
longer, making twelve years in all, this
guarantee secured by heavier bond,
than to fight the company in the courts
for concession in the price. All of US
regret both that the company ever laid
deficient paving and that city officials
were not watchful enough to prevent
such work when attempted, but it is
too late to cry about this now. The
paving is there and the most of us
think that it will have to be paid for
at some price. The question is, at what
price? The company offers to keep the
paving good for twelve years and pay
most of the litigation costs up to date

NOT HEREDITARY.
Badness Due to a Living Minute
Germ

Many people, even unto the present
day of grace, consider badness due
to hereditary influence.
Nothing is further from the truth =
Badness is caused by the onslaught OF
minute organism which secretes Itself
beneath the scalp and attacks the roots
of the hair-causing it to lose Its life
and fall out.
This organism cannot be got rid OF
except by the free and perserverins
use of Newbro's Herpicide.
No matter how badly the scalp is
effected the Dandruff surely disappears
and hair health is retored when Her.
picide is applied.
