(AP) Lines of men on horseback and wagons faced an invisible wall surrounding two million areas of unspoiled land. It was April 22, 18K9, and the cloudless morning was filled! with the electricity which snaps from a man to man when big events an' in the making.

Then, with boom of cannons I and the blare of trumpets, the wall fell Hun Whips cracked. Men and animals plunged forward. The greatest land run in American history was on. This year is the diamond anniversary of that great the opening of the unassigned lands in the heart of Indian Territory. For the first time, a virgin country was thrown open and settled by more than 50,000 persons in a single day.

President Benjamin Harrison! on March 23 had signed the proclamation opening the area, which 75 years later makes up! Payne, Logan, Kingfisher, Canadj lan, Oklahoma and Cleveland counties. The great land rush of '89 was the first of six land which, by run and by lottery, opened the entire terrilory to white settlement by 1901. About: 15.5 million acres were settled! in 12 years. Estimates of the number of: persons who rushed for their; of free land or townsitc; lots those first days range from) 50,000 to 100,000. Tent Artae Tent cities of 10,000 pioneers rose in the middle of the prairie Guthrie and Oklahoma City on the day of the run.

The proclamation set April 22 ps the day of the opening to give an equal shot at some of the rich land. Soldiers were posted to escort tack across the boundaries. But there were too few and too much bonier and when the first who waited for the legal opening! arrived they found much of! the choice land already held by! Sooners.
