Out of 1,500,000 acres to he thrown

noros In good farming lands ran bo
Irrigated. The federal reclamation
service has surveyed and located a
large rannl, which will bring much
land under Irrigation, hut most of the
land thrown open will be Irrigated hy

streams that, intersect the reserve
tlon. The recent completion of sev
eral new branch lines of railway
makes all points of the reservation
easy of accesa.
The reservation Itself Is In a huge
basin surrounded hy the lltg Horn
river, the Owl creek, the Shoshone
and the Itoeky mountains. The moun
tains form mammoth wind break,
protecting the reservation against
severe storms.
Not only Is the reservation land
rich in quality, but there are indica
tions of extensive mineral deposits,
anil of the existence of a large body
of oil. While the Indians have se
cured most of the bottom lands along
the rivers. It. Is admitted that the
finest farm lands are those on the
first benches, which have remained
untouched. The bottom lands are
good for grazing purposes, being cov
ered with natural grasses, and for
these reasons they appeal to the In
dians. But for farming purposes the
bench lands are hotter.
