Why was the land lottery of 1901 considered an improvement over land runs?

The land run was on a first-to-arrive basis. But there were still problems encountered. The run was to start at the boom of the canon but people soon found out that others had already stolen inside earlier and staked out the best plots. The land lottery on the other hand was more orderly as the people had to register with the Federal Land Lottery and then waited for the results of the draw.
