UNABLE TO FIND HOMESTEAD LAND
lewistown People Back From North.
ern and Western Dawson-Ali the
e.. "a Good Land Is Taken.

Good homesteading land is getting
to be somewhat of scarce article
in northern and western Dawson
county, according to some Lewistown
people who returned Tuesday after
a weeks quest for land suitable for
stock ranch. The party consisted
of Ted Funk, S. B. French, Harley
Showan, b. E. Gibson and C. H.
Wilder. They found all the good land
worth mentioning already in the hands
of settlers. Some excellent country
was seen, but it had been located upon,
some OF it for many years. The un-
appropriated lands consist mostly of
breaks and badlands. If the govern
ment were to allow grazing home
steads of $40 or 1880 acres some Of
this might be worth filing upon, but
not under the 320-acre law.
The party went in two autos, but
owing to muddy roads one was obliged
to be left at Grass Range, while the
other was more venturesome, but got
stalled about seven miles out of Lew
istown.
The party visited Sand Springs, An
trim and other remote sections. Near
Antrim they report some of the finest
land extant, but it had been settled
for years, although it is very far from
rail communication, and will be fore
years to come, being located in the
northwestern part of the county.
