ment a, 10000 acres of timber, agri-
cultural and mineral land in northern

eight Indian reservations, will mark
the most important period of develop
ment since the first railroad invaded
the forests, valleys and sagebrush des-
and means the obliteration of the
frontier, with it's picturesque cowboys
and the vivid, adventurous, heroic
days, which will never again have a

made, and when completed the gov.
ernment will allot to the Indians theil
share and then classify and appraise
the surplus, amounting to 10000 acres
and order the lottery. Settlers will
