other manner sent or brough to me
Applicants, must not place a return
card or any other writing on the en-
velope containing their application OF
send it to me by registered mail, as
I cannot receive or consider any ap.
plication which reaches me in any
manner which will disclose the name
of the APPLICANT before the envelope
is opened.
Method Of Receiving Applications and
Assigning Numbers.
AS soon as any envelope contain
ing an APPLICATION reaches me by mail,
it will be deposited, unopened, in a
metal can, which will be so constructed
as to prevent the removal OF the en-.
velope therefrom without destroying
the can. All cans containing these
envelopes will be carefully guarded,
and ON September 6, 1911, at 10 o'clck
a. M. the cans containing the appli-
cations for Fort Berthold lands will
be publicly opened at Minot, North
Dakota, and on October "a, 1911, the
cans containing the Applications for
Pine Ridge or Rosebud lands will be
publicly opened at Gregory, South Da-
kota. All envelopes in the cans thus
opened will be emptied on alarge plat.
form and, after being thoroughly
mixed and distributed they will then
be selected one at time. and opened
as selected, and the applications con-
tanned therein will be numbered in
the order in which the envelopes are
selected. The numbers thus as.
signed will fix and determine the or
der in which the applicants named
therein will be permitted to select
the lands they desire and present their
filings therefor. For instance, the
person named in the application num-
bered one, for Fort Berthold lands,
will have first choice of all the lands
subject to entry in that reservation;
the person named in the application
numbered two, will have the second
choice, and so on until all the lanas
in that reservation have been selected
and entered. The applications for
Pine Ridge or Rosebud Lands will be
selected and numbered in the same
way. The person named in the ap-
plication numbered one. for those
lands, will have the first choice of all
the lands in either reservation sub
ject to entry; the person named in
the application numbered two for
those lands will have the second
choice, and son on, until all the lands
in both reservations have been Sc.
lected and entered. The tracts Of
land will not be numbered and no par.
ticular tract will be assigned to any
applicant. cannot at this time tell
you the exact number of farms which
will be subject to entry, or the number
of applications which will be selected
and numbered, but the number Sc
lected will be about two and a half
times as large as the number of 100
acre farms available.
Persons Assigned Number Under
Each Opening.
If any person who registered at Fort
Eerthold for lands and also registers
for Pine Ridge or Rosebud lands, is
assigned a number for lands under
each opening, he may make entry un-
der either one.
Notice Of Numbers Assigned.
AS fast as numbers are assigned
postal card notices thereof will be
mailed to each applicant to whom a
number is assigned, and a few days
later there will be mailed to each per.
son to whom a number is assigned
a large envelope with his number
printed on the outside and with copies
of the proclamation and regulations
governing the opening, and a copy of
the homestead laws and regulations
contained therein. This double notice
will reasonably insure the receipt of
the number by each person to whom a
number is assigned, and also give full
as to the duties of an en-
tryman.
Lists giving the names and address,
es of all persons to whom numbers are
assigned will be publicly posted and
given to the press for publication as
soon as possible after the numbers are
assigned The number of persons
who register will probably exceed the
numbers assigned. and no notice what
ever will be sent to the persons who
do not have numbers assigned to them.
The only manner in which an appli-
