WHAT WITTEN SAYS.
About 200 Claims in First and 600 in
Second Glass, He Says.

Omaha, Nov. 4.-Persons who drew
numbers in the recent land opening

South Dakota, need not be alarmed
over the reports that the state of
first class land for schools, according
to a statement by Judge James w.
Witten, superintendent of the land
opening, who passed through Omaha
on his way back to Washington.
THE state is entitled to sections 16
and SO in each township, and there
are about thirty townships, which
gives the state about sixty sections of
land, scattered throughout the thirty
townships opened, without regard to
the quality of the land The only
power of choice possessed by the
state is in cases where parts of Sec
lions 16 or SO in a township have
been allotted to Indians, in which case
the state may select in other parts
of the same township, an area equal
to that so allotted to Indians in the
states two sections of the township.
There is comparatively little land in
the states townships allotted to In
dams. do not know just what per-
cent, but it is very small and the fact
that the deficiency in the states sec
tions must be supplied from the same
township in each case makes 1t i'm
possible for the state to concentrate
on the best land of the opening.
There are about $50 to 200 claims
of the best class. and about 600 in the
second class. / should say there are
about 1900 or more worth filing on
There were over $4,000 registrations.
