tr.ed in every ji:arier with a result that has
produced 51 to 30 hushels of wheat, and 40
to 50 bushels of corn per acre. These ciopn
have been rai-ed by farmers living oil In
dian lands. The valleys of the Washiti, of
Cache creek, Ueaver and other streams are
more or less cultivated every year, and al
ways give good returns-. Tie upland are
productive of all cereals, and afford the fin
est grazing in the world.
Tlie lands to be opened to white settle
ment, a-ter the Indian has taken his allot
ment, will give cenips to nearly lO.uoo f.mii
lirs. The price of thew lands will be 1.23
per acre, payable at the end of five years
residence. No better chance to 'et a home
in this eupt-rb climate wil ever be known
again. Til'- climate is all that can be desip
ed, oeintra happy medium betwer n tbe hot
climate of Texas and the cold climate ot
Kansas or Mi-ouri The days are never ex
cessively hot, nor the winter excessively
cold. In Kiimincrddays the mercury seldom
poes above .i hundred, while the nights are
invariably cool. In winter the mercury
seldom goes below zero, and then for only a
day or two. The reservation has one line of
railroad on its northern border, foliowiHK
lhe Washita river, with two more surveyed
and will probably be built before the open
Ing, which will zie market facilities auual
to an older country.

Quotations From lhe Law-
Setting Forth the Time
Eor Opening Kiowa
Reservation.
1
We are often asked when will
the Kiowa and Comanche reser
vation open. In answer to this
we do no more tluwi quote from
the law passed by the last con
gress and approved by the Presi
dent June 6, 1900. That law
eays:
That all allotments of said land
Hhall be made under the direction
of the Secretary of the Interior to
Kuid Indians within ninety days
from the passage of this Act, sub
ject to the exceptions contained
in article fnor of said treaty; pro
vided, That tbe time for making
allotments shall in no event be
extended beyond six months from
passage of this Act
Another question that is often
auked us: Will townsiles be
established and surveyed when
the land is opened for settle
ments. In answer to this we
again quote the law.
"When said allotments of land
i-halj have been selected aud tak
en as aforesaid and approved by
the Secretary of the Iuterior, the
titles thereto shall be held in
trust for the allottees, respective
ly, for the period of twenty-five
years, in the time and manner and
to the extent provided for iu tbe
act of congress entitled "An act
to provide for allotment of land'
