The newspapers q, New York city
are busy reciting the experience OF
twenty eight Brooklyn families. each
with a. motorcar and trailer contain
ing eoEapsHe bungalow. who have
stAted on the 3.O00.mile trek to Idaho
These families have arranged to Sc
cure forty acres apiece of government
irrigated land in Idaho.
The Brooklyn Eagle says of this ver
ture: The southern phrase was forty
acres and a mule. but tile motorcars
make mule superhuous. The under
standing is that $4,000 u family was
the amount of money needed to start
with, exclusive of equipment. This
would have seemed like 81 600. 600 10
most of the trekkers 10 the Far West
seventy years ago. But this is not
excessive ii needless risks are to be
avoided. The OK teams or horse teams
of old time were mighty slow by com
parison with motor vehicles. but food
was cheap and fish and game could be
killed anywhere a ong the route Ev.
cry thing these Brooklynites get will
have TO be paid Tor
Just so. Now why did not these
good Brooklyn prospectors come to
Vermont, where they could have Sc
cured many more acres for far less
money than tlicy can gain in distant
Idaho? Moreover. they would have
saved y large travel and maintenance

REEVES CUSTER Staying
South Dakato Sioux Presents
The Demands On Black
Hills Lands
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch

Gregory, S. H., January 11.-Rem-
lniscences of the Custer massacre in
the Little Big Horn in 1876 are re-
vtved by the recent action of South
Dakota's Sioux Indian tribes in pres
enting their demands on Black Hills
land before the United States court
Of claims. Several million dollars
worth of the richest land in the west
ern part of the state is involved in
the claim.
The treaty of 1868 provided for
payment to the Indians for a section
Of the country in which the Black
Hills are located. No payment was
made. and in 1877 another treaty
Vas was entered into; By the ,0s second
modified Sc. that the clause pertain
ing to settlement for the land was
stricken out. The Sioux contend
that the earlier treaty expressly pro-
vided that no modification Of its
provisions should be held binding, in
any treaty, which might be subse-
quently made.
Few Chiefs Made Treaty
It is also alleged that the treaty of
made by few chiefs, not under full
authority, who acted under fear of
punishment for their participation in
the battle in which Custer and his
small command was completely WHIP
ed out. Various other uprising and
outbreaks under the reign Of Sitting
Bull, it is alleged. were brought to
bear by the whites in coaxing the
chiefs to sign the latter agreement.
To prepare to present their case
before the court of claims, Indians
representing all Sioux tribes of South
Dakota and representatives Of the
Chyenne and Arapahoe tribes of
Wyoming met at Fort Thompson; s.
handle the red mems claims involved
the principal business. Former
President William Howard Taft,
Charles Evans Hughes and Joseph E.
Davies were recommended as at
torneys to represent the Indians in
the contest which is said to be one IF
the biggest ever brought before the
