TENTS WILL DOT
ROSEBJDPRA|R|ES
CITY OF SEVERAL THOUSAND
POPULATION WILL ARISE.
CATTLE MEN MUST MOVE WEST

Within Four Years the Raw Prairie
in Trip County Of Today Will Be
Garden Spot Such as Gregory
County is Now-Activity In the Air
Dallas and Gregory, the two towns
on the Rosebud reservation which
have beeen selected as registration
points for the Trip county opening,
will begin this very day to hum with
lively activity in preparation for the
forthcoming land rush.
Tents Will Spring UP.
AS in the days of the Gregory coun-
ty rush, tents will spring up and
white city of canvas will picturesque
ly dot the prairie.
Every other building in Dallas and
Gregory and Valentine and ONeill
will have a broad white sign, Notary"
in front of it.
There will be a hundred and one
new sorts Of enterprises that you
never heard of before.
During the Bonesteel rush John
Twojohns, an Indian, made big money
in carrying people out on the reserva-
ton in an automobile.
During that rush Captain Carroll,
now of Dallas but then ferryman at
Wheeler, took in $3.50 a day carrying
people across the river headed for
Bonesteel to register.
The registration point at O'Neill and
Valentine will help northern Ne
braska and will give opportunity to
see Meyer county lands, to the west
of Trip. Meyer county will be the
next portion of the Rosebud to be
thrown open to settlement.
Gregory and Dallas Crowded Now.
Gregory and Dallas are crowded to
the guards with people right now who
have been living in anticipation of this
opening. Many of them drew home
steads in the Gregory county rush and
are conducting business enterprises
now. Some have come in to do bust
ness during the rush and to draw
homesteads or buy accomplishments.
REIMBURSEMENT is worth couple
hundred dollars.
Four Years From Now.
Four years from now Trip county
today a virgin prairie, will be as pref
ty an agricultural region as is pic
turesque Gregory county today. These
million acres of land will be dotted
with comfortable houses, big barns
bursting with grain, and thoroughbred
live stock-just as one may see today
in Gregory county.
When one sees in Gregory county
what has been done to a prairie which
never left the plow's steel blade unit
four summers ago, it taxes the i'm
agination of man to picture what tina
country-Gregory and the new TripI
will be four years from today.
Great for Norfolk.
The opening of that million acres
, of land will develop 5000 new farms
, and a number of new towns in terri
tory directly and exclusively tribu
tary to Norfolk. The only railroad
leading into that section runs from
Norfolk
What that may be made to meal
to Norfolk, commercially, only Nor
: folk business interests may decide
. New Towns Will Spring UP.
New towns will spring up out il
= Trip county where the unplowed SOL
supports beef on the hoOf today
Towns they will be, too, just sue
! ~
those wonderful new towns in Gree
DRY county today-Gregory and Da
} las and Herrick and Burke.
White Man Already Invading.
S Already, in fact, the white man i
invading Trip county. The ney
!. towns of Winona and Lamro have bee
established there. Others will folloy
+ quickly.
= And the farmer is there Away dow
, near the Keya Paha river, thirty mile
S from Dallas, white farmers are a
ready building big farm houses an
big barns and it looks, in spots, a
d ready like a settled country. Incider
J, tally. there is spring water in spot
j that is delightful.
d Range Cattle Must Get OFF.
/ The presidents proclamation, Il
sued yesterday, is another grave 81!
nal to the cattleman and ranchman t
move further westward, to crowd i
closer and closer toward the wester
edge of the frontier.
The cattle ranch must be erase
> from the map to make room fo
agricultural implements.
Five years more will end the ca
tie business on a big scale forever
said Jack Whipple to a News ma
l. out in Meyer county year agt
We're being crowded off the map
and we know it. This is good farl
l. land-but a rancher doesn't like
e farm. We've got to saw wood the ne,
five years"
