The land of profitable opportunity still lies
open to the homesteader.
The Western frontier Is rapidly disappearing,
but the homesteudcr and settler still finds an
occasional opportunity to pick up a Quarter
section of Government land. One of the last
chances of this kind will bo irlven by Uncle Sam
when the Wind Ilivcr or Shoshone Indian Res
ervation lands arc thrown open to the home
steaders some time this summer.
This tract of something over a million acres
is situated in central Wyoming, just cast of
the Jackson Hole county and the Yellowstone
Park forest reserve.
In the mountains, elk, bear, deer and other
wild game have been most abundant. It has
been without railroad facilities in the past, but
The Wyomlnsr &North-Western Railway Is now
rapidly layinjr rails across Wyomlnsr from Cas-
Eer, tho present terminus of thcNorth-Westem
inc. to Shoshonl, the new town which has
sprung up since the rcservatio n opening has
been announced and to Lander in the Lander
Valley, one of the richest spots in Wyoming,
where numerous small irrigated farms produce
forty to forty-live bushels of wheat, two hun
dred bushels of potatoes, and sixty bushels oats
to the acre.
This new lino of railway opo ns up millions ot
acres of sheep and cattle range, where the
rich buffalo grass and gramm a grass make the
best pasturage on earth, curing like grain, so
that stock will fatten on it n the fall.
The new line passes through Wolton, one of
the biggest original wool shipping points in the
world, and willbe completed to Shoshonl with
in the next sixty days or less.
Shoshonl is two and one-holf miles from the
reservation border, and here and at Lander
the Government will probably establish land
ofllces for registration when the Indian lands
are thrown open.
