Reservation Land in Mitchell Shows 14 000 Acres Open for Settlement
About 168 000 acres opened four years ago for homesteads and soldier declaratory filings. Now only 14 000 acres remain open and expected to fill by midsummer. Homesteaders pay 3.75 per acre with 50 cents per acre and 14 entry fee, plus 3 25 per acre at final proof after seven years. Local filings include seven young men from Charles Mix county who each paid 94. Some Iowa men seek soldier declaratory status for Civil War rights.
