Az q result OF the arrival of large
numbers of la~ndseekers, Big Sandy
is experiencing a boom that promises
to develop considerable growth in the

is the erection of q handsome bank

pleted the first week in May. Mr..

townsite, reports the sale of several
lots upon which the purchasers will
construct residence and business
buildings this season.
Big Sandy is conveniently located
as q supply and trading point for
settlers in the Marias aud Lonesome
prairie country, where about 700, 900
acres of land were recently restored
to entry. The order of restoration
made these lands open to locating
April Is, but NJ filings will be ac.
cepted at the land Office until May Is.
There was q crowd of thirty or more
"sooners" at Big Sandy q few days
