President Roosevelt disagrees with Mr. Lighton’s article concerning the opening of Indian reservations to settlement by white Americans. Roosevelt argues that people concerned with Native Americans’ best interest will support the sale of the “surplus” lands in their reservations. Lands valued at $10 per acre or more will be made available to homesteaders, while cattle ranchers will come into possession of lands worth far less. Roosevelt argues that many settlers in the Dakotas and Montana are eager to claim lands within the Indian reservations in their states.
