practically aanred.
The l.ttt severe miles which has
thus been surveyed, and on which it

caa fee successfully cultivated, would
furnish 4.000 homestead claims, which
ta rather m.w than the aggregate
nutnNr of claims awarded in the re
cent land lottery held over ia Spokan
In the Spokane lottery There were
nearly 2M.M9 applicants for a chance
to ret claims, and the \ast majority
were doomed in advance :o disappoin

claims are ready for any one to take
up who cares to do so. without taking
any chanora oa a lottery. The first
