ONE WOMAN WAS LUCKY
Her Number is Worth From
 $2O,OOO to $4O.0OO.
Another Girl Had the Misfortune to Marry Day Too Soon and
 Thereby Loses Several
 Thousand Dollars.

Fl Reno. o. T.. July 29.-Oklahoma s great land lottery was begun here in earnest today. and when the commis- sioners appointed by the Federal gov ernment adjourned the drawing Tor me day. one thousand of the choicest or the Is.l6o claims in the Kiowa- Conan che country had been awarded.
 The first name drawn from the wheels was that of stephen A. Hoi- comb of Pauls Valley, l. T., for homestead in the Fl Reno district. the second. Leonard Lamb of Augusta. o. T. These two men select the two choicest claims in this district.
 The capital prize winners. however. proved to be James R. Wood of Weatn- erford. O. T., whose name was the first to come from the Lawton district wheel, and Miss Mattie H. Beais Of Wichita. Kas.. who drew the second number in that district.
 They will have the privilege Of ma king the first filings in the Lawton district, and will undoubtedly choose the two quarter sections adjoining that town. These are considered the most valuable in the territory and are, it was estimated. worth from $20,OsO to $40 900 each.

 Then Colonel Dyer gave her descrip- ton at 23 years old. and five feet three inches in height. just the height of Woods. Instantly the crowd caught the humor of the situation and thousands of throats sent up the shout: "They must get married"
 The eighth winner in the Lawton dis trict was Minerva McClintock, aged 25 years, of Oklahoma City. She was married yesterday, and by ths act for feits her rght to file the claim.

An Errorneous Report.

The first report of the day that the American Tin Plate Company was making an effort to start the Demler plant with non-union men, and that one set of rolls was being operated. was afterward explained as being ru- mor that started from the fact that the company had some men at work repairing the plant. with the expecta- ton that the strike will be settled shortly.
 President Shaffer refused to talk on the strike situation until after the meeting tomorrow or until the decision had been reached by the Executive Committee concerning the propositions of the United States Steel Corporation. It was intimated, however, that there was a very strong likelihood that the committee would not adjourn tomorrow until it had met with the nanufac- turers and formally discussed the set tlemen of the strike. If this should be the case, actual peace is possible in a short time.
 Col. G. Watson French and J. F. Taylor of the Republic Iron and Steel Company had a lengthy conference with President Shaffer concerning which 1t was said that the Republic Company was in search of number of skilled men.

"OUR HARPS. +"
Walker Says They're of
No Avail
So Far as Improving Sidewalks is
Concerned.

"We'd better hang up our harps, if
our efforts do no good" remarked Mr..
Walker, during discussion Of the
sidewalks on South Main St, near the
car barn, and along other streets in
South Akron. "Its shame the way
the walks are neglected" he contin-
ued, land talk as much as we like, no
relief appears"
Citizens complained that the work
men constructing the sewer, near the
car barn had thrown lot of earth on
the sidewalk and that portion Of the
walk had been used as n driveway. 1t
was also stated that Street Commits
sioner Button had ordered property
owner to clean the walk, but he OBJ
jected, inasmuch as he had not OBJ
structed 1t.
The grades of the sidewalks of South
Main st. were also reported to be In
bad shape, and the Commissioners
were requested to improve the situa-
tion.
