Land Settlement - Capsule drawing at the Coppock Bay land settlement, Klamath Falls Armory

United States. Bureau of Reclamation

KP-1648-R2 - Klamath Project. Land Settlement. When a capsule was drawn out of the fish bowl containing the capsuled numbers, tension gripped everyone as it was cracked open and the number inside checked against a list of the 2758 names to see who the lucky applicant was. Rueful laughter in this picture came because only one of the first 18 names was that of a Klamath area applicant; March 15, 1948; Photo by B. D. Glaha
