The most important subject among |
our farmers for the past ten days has
been the Uintah Basin. Several OF the |
interested ones made a trip, returning
still more enthused than ever over the
prospects down there, and are plan
ming on investing. The land, which is
opened by the government, and is an
Indian reservation just being thrown
open, is a beautiful tract of country,
and the water right on the Indian
land is a better one than on this tract,
and more water is furnished the year
around per acre, the best fenced and
seeded land selling for from $25 to
$50 per acre The Indian land, which
is being thrown open on November IS,
is going to the highest bidder, which
runs all the way from SIS to $50 per
acre.
