According to Superintendent Witten.
there are about 1850 claims in the
Occur d'Aiene reservation. something
less than 100 in the Spokane reserva-
ton. and he estimates 1850 in the
Flathead reservation.
The commissioners appointed by the
government classified the land subject
to entry in the Flathead reservation as
follows:
Forty thousand. two hundred and
twenty-nine acres as agricultural -
the tirst-claSs. 13.0la acres as agricul-
tufai land of the second class. 800. is9
acres as grazing land.
4 part of these lands will be with
drawn under the reclamation act. and
it is impossible to state the actual
number of acres in each class that will
lie opened to settlement until the gov
eminent makes this withdrawal.
Some Rich Occur d'Aiene Prizes.
The lands in the Spokane reservation
are classed as agricultural and have
been appraised at s. per acre. There
are not many claims open for entry in
this reservation. because the land is
not adapted /. farming. and while the
appraisers have estimated that 100
hnneSteads can be selected, it is the
general impression OF those familiar
with the land that only about 45 can
bo classified as dcsra Bile
