Carelessness was at the bottom of
most of the fire disasters of last year
and was either directly or indirectly the
cause Of the contiagra tions. Cigarettes,
cigar stumps and matches played an i'm
portant part in the drama Of destruc-
ton. So again the lesson is impress
siyely reaffirmed that too much i'm
portance cannot be attached to appar-
emily harmless and insignificant things.

serts that the increased height and

Sentiment attaches TO trees almost as
nrmly as to persons, and when the trees
are planted by men of national fame,
there is a double interest. The Presi-

way to Franklin Falls, New Hamp-
shire, to secure sprouts from some elmS
planted there by Daniel Webster. Boys

The placing OF the envelopes into the
wheels proved slow work and the actual
drawing was delayed over two hours.
The first envelope taken from the wheel
contained the name of James r. Wood
of Weatherford, o. T., who had registered
for homestead in the Lawton district.
Matte NJ Beals of Wichita, Kan,
whose birthplace is Missouri, drew No.
2, also in the Lawton district.
The multitude went frantic over the an
nouncement, but became quiet instantly,
and listened intently to hear the names
of the other fortunates.
Without doubt Wood and Miss Beals,
who have the right to make the first
filings, will select the two quarter sec
tons adjoining the Lawton townsite, and
which are believed to be worth $4,000
each.

How 1t Was Conducted.

All had been in readiness for hours.
The government clerks finished the task
of placing the envelopes of the applicants
in envelopes and of tying them in
bundles ready to be placed in the wheels.
The only detail that remained was the
selection of the 10 persons who should per-
form the actual drawing of the envelopes
within the oblong receptacles. They were
young boys of good families and were
named at the last moment They were all
under age and persons who have not reg
istered for claims.
The day opened cloudy but pleasant,
with indications of fair weather for the
first nine hours of the drawing.

UNCLE SANS LAND LOTTERY

l<iowa-Comnnche Reservnttou. to m.
Cut Up Into Prizes and Given IN
the Lucky Owners of the Name,
Which Are Drawn From Wheels.

FL Reno, o. T., July 30.--One of the
greatest lotteries in history-that con.
Quoted by the federal government in dis.
posing of $4,000 quarter section claims in
the kiowa-Comaehe reservations-was
begun here Monday morning. No public
event in years in the southwest has Mt.
tracted so much attention as this one
the initiation of new method of dispos.
ing OF government lands. One hundred
and sixty seven thousand persons. each
with | chance in ID of winning home
stead, watched the event here in reality
or at distance, for the applicants come
from every state in the Union.
The drawing took place on a platform
built for the purpose in the open air a
few blocks from the center of Ell Reno.
Situated at the foot of several small hills.
which formed perfect amphitheater. the
platform was the cynosure of thousands of
eyes. People occupied every inch almost
OF the space around about and every
movement of the government officials on
the small space below was watched with
the most intense interest.
Sunday was spent quietly. But as night
came on and the hour for the actual
drawing approached, men and women,
many of whom had waited patiently for
months for the morrow's event, or had
come thousands of miles at the last mo-
ment to participate in it, became anxious.
Worn out with days of hardships and
nights of poor accommodations, they
were keyed to a high tension, but withal,
thousands were cheerful and hopeful
Every one seemed confident that his
would prove the lucky number
Many lay down and slept on the ground
around the platform, to be sure of an
advantageous position when the first
number should be called or to remain
perhaps until evening, when the last of
the 1000 envelopes to be drawn today
should have been picked from the wheels
of fortune. The first break of dawn
found every one on the alert and NOV
ing with a common impulse toward the
all important point.
