Draw of Shoshone land yields strong turnout in Idaho opening
A June 8 land drawing in southern Idaho drew 2,241 registrants and many thousands more watching as the first choices on the Dietrich tract were awarded. M. J. Church and Rob J. Lansdon oversaw the process with R. M. McCollum directing, while Mrs. C. E. Wise drew the first cube showing number 333. The filing rush followed, with the bulk of prime land reportedly claimed on day one and remaining tracts farther from the core options.
