chaser showing what he bought and
the price per acre. There are more
than $4,000 acres to be sold The

self. He will be assisted by Mr..
Woods from the Chamberlain land of
flee and by Il. M. Hood of the First
National bank of this city
The city is already full of strangers
who are here looking over the land
to be sold and 1t is estimated that not
less than 1000 will attend this sale.

steaders already on the ground waiting
for their turn
The city Is dotted with tents. Every
effort is being put forth by the citizens
to care for the crowds and perfect
order is maintained

zens, is providing free ground for tent
