Spokane drives postage for un stamped registration envelopes
Spokane and neighboring cities arranged to cover postage for all un stamped registration envelopes sent from Spokane Coeur d Alene Maho and Missouria Kalispell Mont to ensure every applicant would be in the August 9 drawing. Frank W Smith who funded the plan said about 1 406 unstamped letters were in Spokane and thousands more at other points risking many applicants missing the lottery. The fund covered postmasters to deliver every letter to James W Witten the opening supervisor, preserving the chance for all 29 000 registrants with an estimated two percent lacking postage.
