State viii Sell Lands BY Lottery.

For the first time in its history
the state of Wyoming will sell n por-
ton of Its lands by lottery. Ten
thousand acres will be disposed of
in this manner, and the drawing will
be held in December of this year, says
the Cheyenne Tribune.
William f.. Chaplin, secretary of
state and n member of the state board
of school land commissioners, has an
nounced the lottery, and in so doing
gave the full details of the new ven
ture. He said:
AT the last meeting of the state
board of school land commissioners it
was announced by Commissioner A.
Bake that the state had about 10000
acres of land that it could select as
indemnity school land for qualified APP
plicants. The matter was considered
by the board and the commissioner
from every angle and it was finally de-
-cided to dispose of the lane by lottery.
Each applicant will be restricted to 100
acres. A lesser quantity may be applied
for. Applicants must be resident citi-
Zens or taxpayers and landowners with
in the state. A corporation will be en-
titled to II selection provided it is a
domestic corporation.
applicants will not be permitted to
tdht Ills lhhu cACtDl Will tDt uSItC-
ment that they will pay for the land
not less than $15 an acre. 1t will, of
course. he sold to the highest bidder
at n subsequent sale, but SIS will be
the minimum price Mt all the sales.
After the plan has been fully adver-
tised throughout the state a drawing
will be held probably in December of
this year, and the lands will be as
signed by lot. The number of all the
applicants will be placed in a proper
receptacle and the board will draw
out II at a time. the applications be-
ing given new numbers as they are
drawn.
"In view of the fact that land scrip
is now worth from SIT to $50 an acre
the price fixed by the state is unusual
ly attractive, so it can be made to
take h place of scrip in every par
ticular at the lesser price. 1t also has
the additional advantage of requiring
only a small cash payment, the de-
ferred payments running over n period
of eighteen years, with interest at
the extremely low rate of 4 per cent.
This is the first time the state has
decided to use the lottery method of
~disposing of state selections of this
nature. 1t is also the first time it
has fixed the acreage at so small an
area. The lottery will give every ap-
plicant an equal show and the small
acreage will give every lane owner
an opportunity to have a good chance
to get some land at the drawing. All
will stand upon an absolute equality
and all semblance of favoritism will
be entirely eliminated. The man who
desires forty acres will have the same
show a IS the man who desires 100,
which is the limit.
ut is anticipated that there will be
a large numbe of applicants and that
the first sale under this plan will ere
ate widespread interest. Wyoming
citizens are given the full benefit and
the price is uniform so far as the first
application is concerned. At the sub
sequent sales the land will be sold to
the highest bidder"
