What is the result? Nearly all the homesteads are taken up. No wonder they are nearly all occupied. and the tide of emigration that hitherto drained our population out to the West so rapidly is having its reflux. It is coming back. and it is surrounding the Territory of Oklahoma almost three deep with inquisitive and hungry men to break in upon that little reservation which we have there for Indians. and wherever we have a military reservation or any other little patch of ground that promises a good location for a homesteader we find that the people are swarming around it and demanding of Congress that it shall be opened to settlement.
