UNDER CAREY ACT
Eight Applications Made for
Arid Lands in Oregon.

Eight different companies have per-
fected applications for arid land under
the Carey arid land act. These nppli
cations cover nearly 200, 900 acres, all in
Eastern Oregon. Many more applica-
tions are in course Of preparation and
have been forwarded to the State Ian
Office, but owing to some defect have
not been placed on file.
BY the provisions OF the Carey act the
Federal Government offers to donate to
| the state 100000 acres of land when
the same shall have been reclaimed.
The state, in turn, gives the land to
settlers upon tho same terms. In fact,
the state acts chiefly as medium
through which the man who reclaims
lands gets his title from the Govern
ment. Applications for arid land are
made to the State Land Board. After
surveys have been made and a map filed,
the state enters into contract with
the applicant whereby the state agrees
to convey the title upon his reclaiming
the land az required by the Federal
Government. The applicant must pay
all expenses OF drawing papers, making
surveys, reclaiming the land and maxi
ing final proofs to the General Land
Office. When the contract is made with
the applicant the state applies to the
United States for tho land described in
the application filed by the man who in
tends retaining the land. The Gov
eminent transfers the land to the state
when proof is made that the land has
been reclaimed, and the state then
makes the conveyance to the settler.
BY the provisions OF the state law 10
settler can acquire more than l60 acres.
Those persons, associations or corpora
tions who reclaim more than 100 acres
do not secure title in fee simple to the
land. They are given possession OF the
land until it is conveyed to settlers,
have lien on the land for the cost of
reclamation, and have the privilege of
charging water rates to settlers, the
rates to be fixed by the State Land
Board. The settler who wishes to pur-
chase land which has been reclaimed
must pay to the reclaimers the cost OF
reclamation. The state gets nothing
from the land, and bears none OF the
expenses.
