EL RENO, Okl, Aug. 1.—The drawing of winning numbers in the United States land lottery was concluded today, 13,000 en. velopes having been taken from the wheels, 6,500 for each land district. The crowd about the platform upon which the draw- ing took place was much smaller than on previous days. Beginning August 6, 125 names in each district will be called daily for sixty days for the flling of homestead entries. The estimate 1s made by a government official that In each land district 1,000 of the 6,500 numbers will not be taken in the sixty days because of homesteaders who will be dis- qualified or who will leave the country, be- lleving their clalms to be worthless. This will leave only 5,500 persons who will make entry in their respective districts. Two thousand claims will be left for the wagon emigrants and others who have been in the country for months and failed to draw a number. At the end of sixty days these persons can go immediately to their land office and file, or it they settle on a homestead in advance of any other person they can rema'n thereon three months before filing their entry. | Homestead speculutors who registered for the sole purpose of selling their prize if winners are already seeking to sell relin- quishments of thelr claims, For El Reno District, Today the drawing opened early.
