tion with the drawing. And tn,

tfon with the drawing. And there
| could not be because there was no
favoritism of any kind. 1t was sim.
| ply question of being lucky in having
| numbers drawn. The writer was not
I one OF the lucky ones. He held power
| of attorney for Charles Painter of the
Telluride Journal, who had his eye on
certain pieces of land, but the tracts
In question were taken early In the
game, as his number was not drawn
| IN the first 200 taken from the can.
There were probably between 600
| and 700 people on the grounds, the
special and regular trains from Du-
range carrying 200 to 300, while the
surrounding country contributed a
large number, ranchmen and their
families attending as matter OF curl
| osity and desire to witness land
drawing. The spectators. along with
those interested in the drawing, swell.
| ed the crowd to the above dimensions.
The drawing was conducted In large
| sized. open tent which furnished pro,
| lection from the sun and kept cool
by the breeze that prevailed most OF
the time. While the boarding house
| uid big business, over half the crowd
had provided lunches and the noon
meal was sort of a picnic affair.
l. b. Melville. attorney for the COM
| pany, and one of the officials. was
present and assisted in supplying In
| formation and caring for the crowd.
| Messrs. Sigler & Mcdonald were also
present and with corps of stenog-
| raphers and assistants were able to
handle the crowd in good shape
The first fifty names out of the box
follow, all of whom filed with one ex.
| ception, one party selling his chance
to Mr.. Gagg of the First National bank
The latter was able to secure just
the location he wanted, even if given
| first number.
