BIG. LOTTERY NOW ON.
Thousands Hope to Win Farms on
= Ki0wa-COmanche Reservations.
OKLAHOMA MAN IN LUCK.
James II. Woods Name Comes First
From Wheel Of Fortune. Civ.
ing Him Chance to Select
the Choicest Section.

FL Reno, o. r.. July 29.-One Of the
greatest lotteries in history has begun
here. 1t was conducted by the federal
government in disposing Of $4,000 quar-
ter section claims thrown open to set.
Element on the Kiowa- -Comanche reser-
vations.
No public event in years IN the SOUTH
west has attracted so much attention
as this one. the initiation Of new
method of dlsposing Of government
lands. One hundred and sixty-seven
thousand persons. each with one chance
in 13 of winning a homestead. watched
the event here or al distance, for the
applicants come from every state In the
Union.
The drawing took place on platform
built for the purpose in the open air a
few blocks from the center Of El Reno.
Situated at the foot of several small
hills which formed a perfect amph-
theater, the platform was the cynosure
of 10000 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.
The approach of the commissioners
guarding the precious bundles of en-
velopes containing the thousands Of ap-
plications was the signal for great
demonstration that was renewed with
fervor from time to time during the
progress of the arrangements.
When finally ten boys, five for the Ell
Reno and five for the Lawton district,
were lined up before the two wheels
and awaited the word to draw out the
first envelopes from the receptacles, a
mighty cheer arose. was repeated again
and again. and the multitude pushed
closer to the platform.
Listening For First Winners Name.
Eager. drawn faces watched every
movement of those about the wheels
as the crowd listened for the name Of
the first winner. A moment later. when
a deputy marshal called loudly for or
der, the crowd was stilled instantly.
Colonel Dyer, one of the three COM
mssioncrs, read the presidents proc
lamation relating to the drawing. The
envelopes were then placed in the
wheels, each was turned repeatedly to
insure a generous mixing, and then the
dra wing was on.
The first envelope taken from the
wheel contained the name of James II.
Wood of Weatherford, o. r., who had
registered for homestead in the Law
ton district.
Matte II. Beals Of Wichita. Kan.
whose birthplace is in Missouri, drew
No 2, also in the Lawton district.
The multitude went frantic over the
announcement.
Without doubt Wood and Miss Beals,
who have thus the right to make the
first filings, will select the two quarter
sections adjoining the Lawton town
site district. which are believed to be
worth $4,000 each.
When ColonA Dyer announced the
woman's age as 23 and that her height
| is the same AS that of Mr.. Wood, 20,0OC
persons shouted in chorus, "They must

1t is high time that the Western
Union Telegraph Company gives the
people of Middleburg some decent ser
vice. The operators here are ready and
willing to extend every courtesy, but
the railroad wires must be used to
Lewistown or to Selinsgrove and when
there is railroad business on the wires,
and that is nearly all the time, no
Western Union business can get on
the wires.
The night operator informs the
writer that nearly every night he is
compelled to refuse to take telcgrams
for the reason that he can not get the
use of the wires. One evening quite
recently six kilograms had to be re-
fused: because the railroad wires could
not be used.
This town can have decent service
If the Western Union wires are extend
ed from Selinsgrove to Middleburg,
which would involve but n slight ex.
pense in comparison to the revenue it
would afford.
In the name of the people of the
community the PosT calls upon the
Western Union management to attend
to this matter at once.
