: SAINT task to tell hoosst. wsll.u sanin
mon that there i no chancs; that th

J % many know Of this opening @ possib

doing his share toward giving you IL.
, information.
In all there are 2l38 claims to be
given out to settlers. There are us,
272 acres of No. agricultural land, OF
l,095 claims containing 16O acres; there
are 256 claims Of No. 2 agricultural land,
6S claims Of grazing land and no claims
OF coal land on which surface title will
be given; making in all 2l38 claims.
Any one of these claims are worth
putting forth your supremest effort for.
The 1905 claims that are classified as
No. agricultural land are we'll worth
$4,000 each; the 256 claims OF No. 2
agricultural land are worth at least
So, 600 and the grazing and coal land is
we'll worth $500 each. These are
conservative estimates aad based on the
present land values and not on what
the land will be worth in years to come.
The larger bulk of this land is of high
order and fully as good soil as will be
found anywhere in. the United States.
1t is rich black clay loan soil with
heavy clay subsoil, most adapted to
diversified farming. Some Of the best
crops N. D. has, this off year, are located
around Plaza, which is adjacent to this |
reservation. Good water can be had |
within 10 to so feet of the surface; coal
within few miles and hay everywhere.
To those who are living in eastern states,
where land is hundred dollars an acres
or more, it will be hard for them to
conceive of themselves getting such
valuable farm containing a hundred and
sixty acres without paying big price
for it. It seems too good to be true,
but the facts remain and those who are
not afraid to venture, will be bounti-
July rewarded.
The only way that you can stand any
possible show of secureing one Of these
quarters is by registering your appli-
cation in person at either Plaza, Ryder,
Garrison, Minot or Bismarck. You will
ave to 60 to one of these towns your
elf and no one can register for you,
lnless you have served 80 days in either
he Civil war, the Spanish American
var or the Philippine instruction, such {
oldiers may register by appointing
ONE one their attorney. 1t does not
make any difference which of these
laces you register at, you will stand
be same chance. If you wish to see
be reservation while here then you
hould 60 to Plaza as you ride through
be reservation and land at Plaza which
J located only mile and half from !
!. In just costs Csc to register at any ;
these places and when you have re-
istered, you have done all that can be q
one.
Anyone who 10 qualified to take q
omestead may register. A married
oman who has not been deserted by
er husband cannot register, but if the
usband is incapacitated by disease or
herwise from earning support for S
is family and his wife is the head of
le family and is the main support, she

ho owns more than 100 acres in the to
S. can register. A person may al
