Is not Improbable that this course may
lie resorted to In order to provent the
great rush among the settlers now on
the -borders of the reservation for

ment is anxious to avoid.
The law providing for tho opening

proclamation 20 days before tho coun-
try can be opened. In order that every
one mrfy have an opportunity to com
pete for homesteads.
