Minot, N. d., Sept. 6.-B. E. Glyck of
Foxholm drew homestead No. / in the
Berthold Indian reservation at 10
O'Clock this morning. Judge Witten
announced the winner to the thou
sands of landseekers who, assembled
from every corner of the United States,
braved heavy rain to hear the win
ners announced. :.
The claim drawn by the winner,
who has his first choice of the 0,00O
acres of fertile soil, is valued at from
$4,000 to $15,000.s
Glyck is 90 years old and owns 12o
acres Of land two miles from Foxholm.
He is an American and came to North
Dakota several years ago. In 1909 he
married Miss Clara Clifford of Illinois
who is now visiting her relatives
there. Mr.. Glyck is in Wisconsin.
II don't think tha.. Clyck had any
idea that he was going to draw No
l." said A. Larson of Foxholm, one OF
Glyck's personal friends this morn
ing. Glyck left for Wisconsin a few
days after he registered at AIinot. He
will get his first news of his luck
through the papers for he did not
leave any address with u.s."
Several thousand people had gath
cred at the registration building at
$3.50 o'clock when Judge Wilton, Rep
resentatives L. b. Hanna of Fargo
and II. T. Helgcsen of Milton arrived.
Four men were mixing tho pile OF
20,500 envelopes containing the land
seekers affidavits which had been
piled on huge platform 30x40 feet,
erected just inside of the registration
building.
At $3.50 o'clock Judge Witten intro
duced Representative Hanna who in
troduced in congress the bill opening
the reservation. Representative Han
ma paid a strong tribute to Judge
Witten for the eminently fair man
ner in which the land drawing was
conducted and explained the provi-
sions of bill which he has intro
duced restoring to homestead entry
approximately 10000 acres of land
In the Berthold reservation which had
been reserved on account of contain
ing Ignite coal.
Mr.. Hanna said in part:
| Judge Witten is to be commended
for the manner in which he has con-
Quoted this drawing. He has given
the matter of public lands his atten-
tion for several years, and has SIM
| plif1ed tho method o: conducting reg
istration and the interior department
has the utmost confidence in him.
This drawing whi.h is about to
take place has attracted many peo-
plo to North Dslso,;, from other states
and the advertising will do our farm
! ers and real estate men a very large
amount OF gcca. wish to say that
have already introduced a bill In
+; congres.; which will come up for az
tion this coming winter permitting
settlers to ti;c ON the lands in this
reservation which We're withdrawn
frcm homestead entry On account Of
containing coal. and the surface title
Will not interfere with the govern
ment leasing the lands for coal min
ing. This viii! add at least 1000 or
1900 claims in the reservation.
! Relative to the coal underlying
these lands will say that l have
taken this matter up with the geolo-
gical survey, suggesting in the pro-
vision that in the case of Ignite lands
which contain veins of coal only thir-
ty inches thick and at a depth of 500
feet are subject to reservation. MAIN
tanning that these lands are practi-
cally worthless ior coal purposes and
there is some question whether they
will ever be worth anything for min
ing purposes. The officials of the
geological survey however maintain
that in short time the regulation
will be changed so as to prescribe
minimum thickness OF thirty inches
and a depth of 1000 feet, fact which
