EL RENO Okl July 29 All is ex
pectancy tonight among the thousands
of homeseekers here over the grand
lottery that begins tomorrow morning
There are 13000 claims to be distrib
uted and so each of the 165865 per
sons who have registered during the
last firtecn days has about one chance
in thirteen of winning It is a long
shot but every one apparently feels
confident of being numbered among
the lucky and in consequence the best
of good nature prevails
While the scene lacks the great ex
citement of the run which has here
tofore been a part of other land open
ings in this part of the country the
last act in the throwing open to settle
ment of the Kiowa Comanche reserva
tions will not be without life and ani
mation The drawing will take place
in the center of the city and will be

the sloping hillsides form a natural
amphitheater

of W A Richards assistant commis
sioner of the general land office and
who has had -charge of the registra
tion D P Dyer of St Louis former
United States district attorney and
Frank Dale ex chief justice of Okla
homa will have the drawing in charge
The actual drawing will be both
novel and extremely interesting On
the platform will be two oblong box
wheels each fifteen feet in length one
to hold the names of the applicants
for homesteads in the El Reno dis
trict and the other for those of the
Lawton district Into these wheels
will be placed envelopes containing
names of all the registered applicants
The envelopes will have first been
brought to the platform in packages
consecutively numbered
A corresponding series of numbers
upon slips will be placed in another
receptacle from which they will be
drawn out at random The package of
envelopes bearing the first number
drawn will be the first to be placed in
the drawing box and well distributed
when another number will be drawn
and another package of envelopes dis
tributed and this course will be con
tinued until all of the envelopes have
been placed in the box wheels after
which the wheels will be revolved for
a sufficient length of time to insure a
thorough mixing of the envelopes
In each wheel there are five aper
tures from which the enevlopes will
finally be drawn Ten men for each
aperture will perform the actual draw
ing The order in which they will be
gin at each wheel will be determined
by lot
The first envelope drawn will be No
1 which will be at once opened and
the identification slips which it con
tains will be given a corresponding
number and the name and residence
which appear upon the slip will be
publicly announced This course will
be pursued numbering each envelope
and its contents consecutively until
twenty five numbers have been drawn
from one box when an equal number
will be drawn from the other box in
a similar manner This course will be
pursued until 500 names have been
drawn from each box when if the
committee deem is best to do so ar
rangements will be made for drawing
simultaneously from each box
After the names have been drawn
and announced they will be recorded
and a notice prepared to be made to
the one whose name is drawn The
drawing will proceed in this manner
until every envelope in both boxes has
been drawn out

WEATHER BUREAU ENCOURAGED
Bain Having Fallen It Believes the Corn
Belt Will Uet More
WASHINGTON July 29 Tho
weather bureaus advices from the
great corn belt Saturday were more
encouraging than any that have come
to hand for forty days showing in
the opinion of the forecasters that the
drouth has been broken by general
showers in many portions of that sec
tion and with a prospect of their con
tinuation today Coincident with the
fall of rain have come reduced tem
peratures With few exceptions the
temperatures reported were not ob
normally high no maximums of 100
degrees being reached West of the
Mississippi river they were generally
in the neighborhood of 90 degrees
The forecasters while not making
any specific predictions as to the ef
fect of the rain on the crops express
the opinion that all those crops which
have not been irreparably ruined will
be benefited by the breaking of the
drouth The late crops naturally would
be helped the most
The reports show that during the
past twenty four hours showers were
quite general in he corn belt and were
heavy over much of the state of Iowa
and over part of the corn belt not
hitherto visited by rains including
western Nebraska southern Missouri
and Oklahoma

at the land office at El Reno of his in
tention to file upon the quarter sec

part of the public domain and to make
entry for any tract of land that is not
in the possession of a homesteader
The section has never been repealed
and the right of the Indians who have
no allotments or who were omitted
from the tribal rolls is one that they
can exercise at any time it is stated
