MAY WITHDRAW.
A condition not generally understood
by the public Is that in cases where
successful competitors In the drawing
get numbers which will entitle them 10
selections so far down In the list that
the land may be comparatively of little
value they may withdraw and the fees
paid In as a preliminary TO the lottery
win be returned to them. Several Salt
Lake people who are here have eX-
pressed themselves In this connection,
saying that their numbers were so far
down the list that they would probably
withdraw, II It appears that the land
available for their selection is not so
valuable as they had hoped
