December Indian Land
Sale One Of Best Held
Six Additional Bids for December In.
dian Land Sale Received in Delay.
ed Mail Following Sale


!. Six additional Bids for the lane
sale held Wednesday last week, wer,
received bv Superintendent Cove,
! Thursday evening after mail scr
! vice was resumed. These bids wer,
Iinailed in ample time to reach here
for the sale had the trains and
! ''tage been running as usual. In.
cluding the delayed bids total ol
81 bids were received for the De-
Eember sale of inherited and non
competent Standing Rock reserva-
ton lands. Considering that there
were only about 100 descriptions
listed, this makes the December
sale one of the best yet since sales
have been held under Shperinten-
dent Covey's administration.
1t is expected that number Of
the tracts previously advertised and
not sold, viii be re-appraised this
winter and a new list published in
time to hold sale early next
spring These sales makesit pos
sible for homeseekers to secure good
farming and grazing lands at a low
price and on easy terms. At the
same time as it is only the surplus
land that is being sold, these sales
will also benefit the Indians, in
TINT as adjoining land is being cul-
tivated and improved it will en-
hance the value Of the remaining
land owned by the Indians.
Experienced farmers and stock
men here and there among the In
lians will also set good example
from which the Indians will no
doubt receive material benefit in
following their methods. 1t is a
good thing for the Indians, the
county and the state to have the
unused land now lying idle
paSs into the ownership of !. actual
settlers who will establish homes
md take alractive part in the dew
slop,nent of the country.
