absolutely no argument in favor Of the per-
NIT system, and the only reason given by
Colonel Bngham's Office is that curious
people are liable to gather around the
camera, but the fact that the photographer
has permit would in no case ailay the
curiosity of the people, and besides, the
park officers have ample authority to dis
perse any crowds which may obstruct the
walks or injure the grass. Should the
phot ographer not have a permit ne could
be required to leave the park If ne caused
any undue excitement, blocked the walks
or injured the grass, but, armed with q
permit the officers have no authority to
deal with him as their judgment prompts
them.
The part of the article which relates to
visitors using the ground for picnic pur-
poses and throwing greasy papers in the
flower beds has no bearing on the matter
in photography, and the Officers have
authority to- and should, deal promptly
and effectively with such persons. The
fact that in the ten years which this order
has been in effect no one has been d-nicd
permit shows conclusyely that the permit
system of harassing the public is & useless
bother, and that no good reasons for it can
exist. ''i'
Whatever Colonel Bingham's office has
done to preserve the beauty of the public
grounds (and 1t has done much) is certainly
commepdable, but any unnecessary
strictions it has placed on their legitimate
use are worthy of criticism.

ten years standing may soon be done away

LAND LOTTERY NEARLY OVER.
List of Prize Winners Will BE Com
pleted Today.

A dispatch from FL Reno, Oklahoma ter
ritory, last night, says: Two thousand one
hundred names were drawn from each
wheel in the great United States land lot
terry today, making the grand total 500.
The list of prize winners will be completed
tomorrow. The drawing of numbers will
continue until about 10000 names for each
district shall have been drawn from the
wheels, making total of 10000.
AS there are about 1850 claims in the
new country, the drawing of 10000 names
will go beyond the point where persons
above 1880 can get land. The remaining
envelopes will draw blanks, but as the
commission desires to impress the public
with the fairness and honesty of the draw
ing every one of the 16J, 900 envelopes will
be drawn. When. the names entitled to
homesteads however, have been exhausted
the work to follow will be merely perfume
tory, and Will be done as rapidly as possi-
BILE.
Commissioners of the drawing are noti-
fying by postal card each person who
draws a number. The card also gives the
date upon which the recipient must appear
at the office of his respective land district
and file his entry. The date upon which a
man must appear to make entry is easily
determined. In each land district 125 per-
sons will be permitted to file daily. Those
holding Nos. 1 to 125 must file August g.
12o to 23O, August Z. continuing in this
manner until all the homesteads in each
land district shall be filed upon.
