MEDBURY, Nov. 16.-The day
was clear and bright and save for
light cold breeze, was ideal. Per-
feet arrangements had been made to
care for the people and a competent
force of clerks was on hand to carry
out the business part of the proceed
ing.
The Carey act lands were disposed
Of, the acreage tracts drawn for and
the town lots sold, making three
drawings in one day, and all the
papers made out and signed and
those not successful were given their
cash rebates-all done without in
cident in one day.
Much of the credit for the sue
cess of the event is given to Man
ager l.. G. Bradley, upon whose
shoulders rested the burden of pre-
paration for the drawing. So well
had he arranged all details that there
was not a hitch, and so thoroughly
had he advertised the drawing that
the sale was one of the most sue
eessful of the year. Before the draw
ing was begun three cheers were
given Mr.. Bradley by those assembled
TO participate in the selection.
Owing to preference rights grant
I'd to holders of the lands before the
segregation was made, there We're
only some 5000 acres available for
Carey act settlement. The most OF
this was quickly taken and there
were applications for many thousand
acres more than was available. The
eagerness with which the acreage
tracts were taken up was one of the
great surprises to those who had not
paid close attention to the claims for
100000 worth of these lands were
$4,000 worth of these lands were
disposed of at prices as high as $4OO
an acre for the tracts Immediately ad-
iacent to the townsite of Medbury.

ranging from $500 to $3.50 per lot
