Thurston County, in Nebraska, is only eight
months old and is $10,000 in debt.
The
county has an area of about 430 square miles, comprising some of the best land
in the state, but only about one-fourteenth has been opened to settlement.
Strenuous
efforts are being made to remedy this condition of affairs and money has been
subscribed to send a
delegation of representative Indians to Washington
to work for the passage of an act opening to settlement a large portion of the
Indian Lands adjoining Pender.
