KP-1649-R2 - Klamath Project. Land Settlement. Nelson Reed, Klamath businessman, chairman of the Examining Board which checked the qualifications of 4000 applicants for Coppock Bay homesteads, led off the ceremonies at the public drawing and introduced various guests and speakers. To the left, radio announcers consult on how to handle the broadcast of the drawing; in the background, Al Harvey, Klamath Bureau employee, numbers lines on the blackboard so everyone in the Armory will be able to see who's been drawn. Back of Reed, Sam Wynn of Tulelake, a last year's winner and a member of the 1948 examining board, watches Ten Broeck Williamson, Settlement Chief from Sacramento, check over the master list of numbers and names, while U. J. Gendron, Assistant to the Regional Director, gazes at the camera. The fish bowl from which the capsuled numbers were drawn is at the far right of the picture; March 15, 1948; Photo by B. D. Glaha
