Opening of the Shoshone or Wind River
Reservation In Wyoming.
The President's proclamation open
ing the Shoshone reservation lands
for settlement lias been published and
prescribes the plan of drawing for
these lands, whieh has proved so suc
cessful with other agencies. Appli
cants are to register at Worland, Ther
mopolis, Shoshone or Lander in Wyo
ming, between July 10th and M 1 st.
The subsequent drawing for these
lands will be held at Lundeu com
mencing August 4th, the drawing to
be supervised by a committee of three
persons of undoubted integrity. Par
ties can return home after registering
and the successful ones arc notified by
card when and where to appear to
make filings for the land drawn.
The Shoshone area comprises about
400,000 acres of agricultural lands to
be drawn for, and the government
made a remarkably cheap settlement
with the Indians so that the cost is
not jjoinir to exceed SI. .10 an acre for
the agricultural lands, except, of
course, the additional cost on the
prorataplan for the irrigation works
to be built.
Sixty days after August 15th, those
seeking timber and mineral claims
can cross the border and take up these
claims under the timber and mineral
act, and all persons are especially
admonished by the government not to
attempt to jump mineral or timber
claims or to enter the reservation for
that purpose prior to appointed time.
It has been a close race between the
building of the Burlington's Worland
extension up the Big Horn river and
the opening date for tins registration
and the most remarkable energy has
been put into the work by the rail
road to get this line finished to Wor
land by the fourth of .Inly. Two or
three daily shifts of laborers are lay
ing rail day and night, and right be
hind the steel gang come the ballast
trains loaded from an immense gravel
bed on the right-of-way. It is certain
that the Burlington's line will be
finished to Worland probably two
weeks before .luly Kith, whieh is the
first day of registration,
One of the problems of settling up
irrigated lands in the west is to show
buyers and settlers from the east the
regularity and the wealth of irrigated
crops from year to year. All seekers
for irrigated lands from the whole
country east of the Missouri river ap
pear to be from Missouri and "have to
be shown," and this was one of the
chief reasons why the Burlington
hauled out 5,000 laborers a thousand
miles to the basin to hurry up this
line through the irrigated laud of the
Big Horn valley, so that the army
persons going to register for Shoshone
lands could see and appreciate the
value of Irrigated lands enroute. The
new Worland line goes right through

G5 Horn rivr traversing singh- tracts of
00. 30,000 acres under cultivation.
50 1 The railroads have also shown their
SS i interest in the enterprise of settling
up the new west by undertaking to
bring out the largest possible number
of entries for this drawing with un
usually low excursion rates, the main,
motive being to get the people out and
scatter them over the new lands of the
west.
