WENAHA RESERVE CREATED.
State Land Officials Find Presidents
Proclamation-Settl May Get
Relief

State Land Officials Find Presidents
clamation-Settlers May Get
Relief.
Salem, June 2S.-The state land de-
partment is in receipt of a procla-
nation issued by President Roose-
welt, under date of May IL, setting
aside 1S townships in the northwest
ern part of the state and in the state
of Washington to be known as the
Wenaha forest reserve. That por-
tion of the reserve situated in oregon
consists of about 23,040 acres lying
principally in Umatilla county, but
verges into the northwestern corner
of Wallowa county.
The proclamation was received
some time ago. but it had become
misplaced and overlooked and was
uncovered only yesterday. This re-
serve includes 32 sections of school
land and will give the state 10,240
acres more of base upon which to
select lieu land and for sale. The
land officials have not as yet figur-
ed out just what amount of this school
land has already been sold and how
mucn Oh IL Is dNdlidDle lor use 90
| base.
| This is the reserve upon which over
| 100 settlers along the Wenaha river,
in Walowa county, petitioned the
president to exclude their settlement
from the permanent reserve, which
petition was forwarded to the presi-
dent by Governor Chamberlain only
last week.
Although the reserve was proclaim
ed permanent by the president on May
| IL, the governor says that 1t is not
too late for them to gain the relief
sought, as the president is privileged
to change the boundaries of the re-
serve at any time. The settlers who
presented the petition are located In
townships and 6, north of range
AZ east.

Judging from indications so far
Umatilla county is not going to gain
much from the horde" of home
seekers that has been widely pre-
dicted will come to the northwest
this summer, drawn by the attractions
of the Lewis and Clark fair. Accord
ing to the local real estate dealers,
there have been many inquiries
about Umatilla land and quite a few
have stopped off to view the country
and ascertain the exact conditions.
But they are unanimous in saying
that practically no sales have been
made nor will be.
In speaking of the fasteners and
those from the middle west yester-
day evening, E. T. Wade declared
those of that class to be the last
that he cares to meet, for the fact
that nothing can be done with them.
According to Mr.. Wade, the arrivals
from the east are all filled with the
idea that good wheat land is to be
had in abundance at prices ranging
from $40 to $25 per acre and when
Umatilla county prices are mention
| ed the man from the east is filled
with amazement.
He has come out expecting to buy
land that will raise 40 or so bushels
of wheat per acre and either buy 1t
for a song. or as many believe they
can do, rent land for the first few
years. A large portion of the new
comers are filled with the idea that
there is any amount of land that may
be easily rented and when told by
dealers that such is not the case, are
inclined to be skeptical of his state
ment.
Nor are the new arrivals going to
find the cheap land they are looking
for even in the smaller counties OF
! eastern oregon, for even in Gillian
and Morrow counties where land has
/ heretofore been cheap, prices are nc
longer such. With the advent of the
= Condon-Arlington railroad land il
( Gillian county has greatly appreci
t ated in value as a result and nj
longer is 500 and $50 land rare.
q In Sherman county, which has haC
railroad for some time alread.
those prices have been common 70
A quite while and they have now gon
even higher AS a result the eastern
o farmers who formed their opinion
of eastern Oregon prices several year
ago are certain to be disappointed a
;, what they find now. Thus far ther
J., I, has been nothing to indicate an
u great rush into any one of the las
three named counties this year. Ri
u hord & Nowlin, of this city, hav
been dealing somewhat in Gilliar
II county lands and they state that bu
few newcomers have so far arrive
this summer.
Another fact that tends to dete
new arrivals from making purchase
e when they first come to eastern OF
It egon is the false impressions whic
they receive from seeing only the pol

and many pass on to western Orego

After telling OF the gradual drying
UP of the great lakes and rivers all
over the world in an article In Cham
bers' Journal, j. T. Whitby continues:
"Iaverywhere in our w country, as
in others, water springs are giving out
and water beds drying up, slowly per-
haps, but surely. The increase of pop
ulation and the modern system of
drainage have Of course a great deal
to answer for, but much Of the drought
is undoubtedly caused by the rapid
destruction Of timber on all sides, for
trees not only attract rain clouds, but
preserve the moisture of the soil. While
it is impossible for puny man to con-
troll the geological period through
which we are passing and whose char
acteristics would be, according to
some, the gradual disappearance of
water, it may be inquired whether 1t
would not be advisable to postpone
that disagreeable moment of a world
without water as far as possible by the
better preservation of our woods and
forests and the persistent %replanting
of trees"
