UNCLE SAM SHORT
OF PUBLIC LANDS
FOR HIS CITIZENS
Standing Rock and Cheyenne
Last Chances in Former
Great American Desert.

Washington. Dec. 14.-Cncle sam is
no longer rich enough to give US all q
farm, but last session of congress ne
made preliminary arrangements to give
farms to over 10000 Of u.s. and the peo-
pie of South Dakota want them just as
soon as possible.
They will be carved out of the Stand
ing Rock and Cheyenne river reserVa-.
tions in that state, and 100000 acres!
OF good land will be given away just
as soon as the preliminaries can be at
tended to. They will not be actually
donated: the land must be appraised
and sold; but in fact it will amount to
almost a donation.
The opening of this immense tract
said to be the last great area which
the government will have Mt its dis
posal for homesteading purposes-illus-
lean Desert. Two generation ago eV-
erything west Of the Mississippi was
the desert Then 1T moved along, and
everything west of the Missouri as far
.as the Cascade mountains was desert.
Then states grew up in the desert. and
great cities flourished. and the desert
was driven into colse quarters. Finally
the bad lands of South Dakota became
sort of last stronghold of the theory
that a Great American Desert really
existed. Parcel by parcel these were
taken up and turned into thrifty farms

enne reservations, inhabited by some
thousands Of Indians. We're regarded as
hopeless One day the Chicago Mil
waukee 4. ST. Paul road announced
that il would build to the Pacific coast,
and that its line would pass squarely
through these lands. Thereupon people
began wondering IL they We're worth
while. The result was that it was sud
denly discovered that they, too, were
good lands. and that they needed moth
ing but att ntion.
Last session congress passed an act
for opening 100000 acres OF these res
ervatlons to settlement. The govern
mcnt must buy them from the Indians.
and then i'll turn sell them to settlers.
AS soon as the law passed the desert
began to gain popularity with home
excellent agricultural lands. lying along
splendid streams. 1t was an uneK-
,lored region. With a bad reputation
because it had long been set off as an
Indian reservation.
With about 500 900 people. the state Of
South Dakota has for number &c
years been credited With producing a
other state in the union. Its lands have
been coming into corresponding de-
mand. and when it was announced that
this big DOMAIN was to be opened, in
quiries came from all sections.
1t is now expected that the lands will
be opened for the registration Of would
be homesteaders in the autumn of 1909.
and for entry of the lucky ones in the
spring OF 1910. The opening will be
by the accepted process of registration
and lottery drawing; the man with the
first number having first choice of
plats. The best tracts will be worth
from $4,000 downward.

liner are the following:
Issuance of bank charters and reg

Incorporation of all private banks
and requirements Of minimum cap
