SURF is A BUSY SPOT
AS Early as Five O'Clock Long Beach
Visitors Plunge into Ocean

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, June 10.-The beach
was the Mecca for hundreds he-e to-
day. Scores of people rested, read or
slept Oh the sands all the afternoon,
sheltered from the rays of the sun by
umbrellas or awnings. The surf was
thronged all day with men, women and
children, for "the water was fine.p
The approach of the summer season
is heralded by the increasing number of
early morning bathers. AS early as 8
O'Clock the last three mornings jolly
parties could be seen scampering along
the streets toward old ocean. The
morning air is a little chilly and race
up and down the sand is the usual order
after overcoats and cravenettes have
been thrown aside. After the run a
quarter of an hour in the breakers is
most enjoyable.

The committee found an almost unanimous

LANDER, Wyo., Aug n-(Special)--
Homesteaders on the shoshone reservation

Irrigation .worksrare completed before max
ing their Improvements. This Is the an
nouncement just made by Commissioner
w. A Richards of the general land ONCE.
The Central Wyoming Irrigation company,
which was awarded the Contract for the
principal ditch, will have the work under

year before water can be placed on any
of the land .two4yeaFs before a. majority Of
the claims can be watered and. three years
before water Gan be supplied to the entire
tract Those who drew claims are now
making their selections and filing will begin

Hans Berlin, who drew No. I, has made

1t is estimated by the land Office officials
that not more than twenty five of the first
100 who drew Will file on their lands. The
price OF water, although 1t is cheap al
$50 per ac-e. has deferred many from filing

were drawn out last will therefore stand
a good chance OF securing a fine claim
