New Homestead Law.

The friends OF the irrigation law,

The bill has passed the house by II
large majority. Its provisions, as il
well known, meet the warm approba-
ton OF the president, who has long been
outspoIcen in advocacy Of Systematic,
intelligent reclamation Of country's
arid areas This measure is held to
embody these IDEAS, and is reguarded
by many as only second in impor-
tance to the homestead law-as. in
fact, "a new homestead law" made
applicable to aiid lands. Simply STAT
ed, it provides that the government
shall create new rivers thorough the
building of reservoirs and main line
annals and so regulate the flow of
streams already in cxistance that
their waters will be available for irri-
cation during seasons OF drouth.
Only bona fide settlers will be entitled
to secure lands contiguous to or de-
nendent upon this newly created wa
ter supply; settlers who are in truth,
as well as in declaration OF intent,
homeseekers and home builders.
These are not only to reside upon and
cultivate the land thus secured, but
are to return TO the government in

ferrod payments the entire cost OF ere

Hood River Berries.

The total area in strawberries in
Hood River valley is estimated to bs
about $50 acres. More land ia being
prepared this summer, and by nfxt
season the strawberry acreage will
probably reach GEO or 100 acres. Tn,
patches are generally small, running
five to seven acres in size. The Butts
farm OF 30 acres is the largest berry
ranch in the valley, and this year pro.
duced $500 crates OF berries. The u.
Z. Miller tract of 10 acres turned oil
over 2OOO crates. The smaller patch.
cs bring in the larger returns per acre
and produce the best berries. This is
because the work OF cultivatiug is us.
ually more thorough, and the super
vision oi picking and packing is more
easily done.
The principal markets for Hood
River Strawberries are the Montana
towns, the Dakotas, Minnesota and
Manitoba, while many berries are
sold IN Omaha, Denver, Salt Lake and
Seattle. Some few are sold in Port
land, and this year shipments were
made to Dawson City. Twenty crates
were placed on board an ocean steam.
