Agent Gable Unable
to Get Any Definite
Word at Land Office

Travelling Passenger Agent Gable of the
Northwestern Is just In from Valentine
and Saturday he was at the government
land office there. At that time he made
inquiry as TO when the appraisement OF
the land on the Fort Niobrara reservation
would be completed. and when those who
drew choosing numbers for land at the
North Platte lottery would be permitted
to make their selection.
Mr. Gable was unable to secure any
definite information other than that the
appraisement had been completed and
that the figures would be made public
probably during the present week. Mr.
Gable is OF the opinion that the party who
drew No. at North Platte is very likely
to make his selection on the Fort Mo
brara reserve in the event the appraise-
ment is not too high.
The choicest quarter section of the Fort
Niobrara lies adjoining the town of Val
entine, is level. with fairly good soil,
and land agents say that IL is worth from
$50 to H5 per acre There are several
other quarter sections in close proximity
that Mr.. Gable SAYS are worth from SIS
70 - per acre
some months ago an appraisement of
this land was made by the government,
ana the highest price at which any was
scheduled was around s. per acre. the
money TO be paid in three annual and
equal installments. While they do not
know people at Valentine are Of the
opinion that the apprslsement now being
made will be a little higher
