Superintendent Covey is sending out
the following letter of information to
those interested in this sale:
"The land is scattered over the
Standing Rock Indian reservation in
Sioux county, S. D., and Corson coun-
ty, S. D., a territory about 40 miles
east and west and Is miles north and

parties desiring to see lands in South
Dakota should go to Mclaughlin or
other nearby points on the Milwau-
kee.

employees Of the government at prices
listed in. the advertisement, and is
thought to Se worth as much or more
than the appraised value. 1t is not
I worthless, leftover land, but in many
| cases, some Of the best land in this
locality, having been allotted to Indi
ans and now. offered for sale either be-
cause the allot:ee is dead or has more
land than he needs.
Farming can be carried on success
fully in this country if proper meth.
DDS are used, and a farmer will
questionably succeed if he will COM
bine st%ockraising with his farming
The land is offered on the deferred
payment plan with a view to inducing
actual settlers to purchase. The land
is unimproved. Though situated on
an Indian reservation, this land is in|
organized counties, and there will bel
many white people in the country
The Standing Rock Sioux, who livel
here, are among tie finest Indians in
existence, being educated, peaceable,
industrious and l%aw-abiding citizens.
1T is obviously impossible for rep
resentatives Of the government to un-
dertake to give particular information
relative to each tract Of land inquired
about. 1t has therefore been deemed
advisable to arrange for some of the
educated young Indians to furnish
such information, for which a reason
able fee will be charged you in pro-
portion to services rendered. I have
therefore referred your inquiry to
