THE OKLAND LAND LOTTERY
( V tlmt tin- drawing for homesteads in
tiic Kiowa ami Comanche reservation
have been brought i an orderly conclusion, the
Interior Department can justly congratulate itself
on the results ol the ingenious and novel scheme
devised for opening tins new portion of the
public domain to entry and settlement. It was
the purpose of the department in discarding the
i)ld "devil take the hindmost" rush for choice
allotments for the new "wheel of fortune"
method of assignments to end the disorders and
violence which had marked the past struggles of
land hungry "boomers" ami "sooners" for
coveted aites in freshly opened territory.
Certainly, whatever minor disturbances have
been reported from El Reno and Lawtou, there
has Ix-en ao repetition in the Kiowa and
Comanche reservations of the scenes of brutality
and lawlessness which marred the race twelve
years ago into the older parts of Oklahoma.
Friction and disappointment were inevitable
under any plan of. allotting titles in the new
territory; for with a list of applicants running
up toward the one hundred thousand mark, the
proportion of prizes to blanks to be drawn was
cruelly discouraging. But evidence has yet to
be brought that the lottery plan put in practice
by the Federal I .and Office did not on the whole
offer a creditable and satisfactory solution of the
allotment problem.
Some complaint has been made that distribu
tion by lottery encourages the filing of claims by
speculators who have no idea of making bona
fide homestead settlement, but who hope to sell
their titles subsequently to Jese fortunate
participants in the wheel of fortune scramble.
Lottery winners like Miss Beals, who drew j already been mad to throw wine light on the
second prize at LawtOO, would not, it is argued, subject. Several of them are mentioned by Dr.

his land, after fulfilling the requirements of the
Homestead law, in no way concerns the authori

titles.
It is also suggested that the lottery plan, by
drawing to centres like El Reno and Lawton a

Already it is evident that the virtues of the
system have their limits. A crusade of ih's
kind is more successful where the water stands
in inland ponds than in salt Bed marshes.

is more serious in some localities than in others.
In a few it is hopeless, perhaps. Hut there is

admiration of the Quarantine officer's energy and
public spirit, yet may be a little sceptical as to
the practical result. Time and time agf in the
public has been advised to employ kerosene to
get rid of this annoying creature. Dr. Howard,
