In reply I beg leave to say.

that I am not very wel 1 posted on the Kiowa Coaanche Reservation The date of 'its opening is not definitely fixed yet, and am not informed of the method by which the homesteads will be disposed of. This matter has been, by special aot of Congress, left to the President of the United States to settle as he deems proper. All seem to1 concede that he will employ an entirely different method from the customary run that everybody expected. "The reservation is located Just west of the 98th meridian and north of the Red river, about forty miles north of Henrietta, Texas. I have been over the ground, and if it waa 100 miles farther east it would be one of the finest countries in the West; The soil is rich and fine; for stock raising it cannot be excelled; but I am of the opinion it would not be a paying in vestment for farming.

I would not advise any one in this particular way. Some years crops are good and some years they fall. I am not going." GOVERNOR OF FLORIDA Appoints a Well Known Clarks vidian to a Place Upon His Staff. It is now Col. Benjamin QUI.
