LANDS
SOON OPEN TO ENTRY
First Unit of New Project Will Be
Open to Entry on June II Land
Under Water Beautifully
Situated.

Boardman, Ore, May 24.-The
first unit of the lands of the West Ex-
tension will be opened for settlement
June IA. A copy of the public notice
has been received by the project en-
gineer at Hermiston naming the date
and prescribing the methods of filing
and payments of the water rights.
These lands lie chiefly within a ra-
dius of one to four miles of the new
town of Boardman. The opening was
expected to take place last January
but because of technicalities in the
title of some of the lands in private
ownership included within the unit,
it has been delayed. This has also
delayed the progress of the new town
which is expected to go ahead much
more rapidly.
Twenty-eight homestead tracts will
be subject to entry varying in size
from 25 to 40 acres of land under ir-
rigation. Some of these tracts con-
tain as high as so acres and the non
irrigable portions can later be pro-
vided with water. This land lies in
The Dalles land office district where
filings will be received from June 9Th
to IA at a. m. These filings may be
made before U. S. Commissioner c.
G. Blayden at Boardman and sent to
The Dalles. All filings made between
June 9 and IA will be considered
prior to those made at or after 8 a.
m. June 8 and will be considered
simultaneous. If there are more than
two applicants for one tract a draw
ing will be held at the land Office and
the unsuccessful candidate will be
given an opportunity to amend his
application for another tract. Those
visiting the land can obtain full in
formation from Mr.. Blayden as to
how to proceed. Information can also
be obtained at Boardman as to the
location of the various tracts.
Application for water rights must
accompany the filing. The govern
ment will require 5ee cash payment
from successful applicants on the wa
ter right and this is the only pay
ment that is required for five years.
About 2700 acres in all will be
opened for irrigation this year and
the T'cter is now in the canal and
turnouts are in place every quarter
of mile. One hundred men and as
many horses are in camp near Board
man constructing laterals for the
land opened this year and the re
mainder of the 100 acres that are
to be opened for next years irriga-
tion.
The homesteads are all fine level
land and it is expected they will be
taken at once.

such goat paths for roads running on
the edges of terrible precipices and
the sides Of peaks in the clouds. The

rode little mountain ponies, but often
they had to abandon their mounts
and go on foot. have seen their
horses slip and fall into abysses.
Sometimes one had to go on all fours.
Some. to avoid vertigo. had to be
guided with closed eyes.
Snow Was Yard Deep
Then there was snow which caus
ed fresh suffering. Roads were worn
through the snow yard deep. Al
bantam guerri'as were taking pot
shots at us from behind rocks high
up or from opposite sides OF the
canyons.
THE army could not bring its guns
or conveys through such country.
When we began to enter IL we had
to destroy automobiles, wagons, We

ished the guns, those pieces of steel
which they cal ed their French
friends, the ordinance having been
made at Creusot. The men had be.
come attached to them and many
artilerists served the same gun for
years. Some officers refused to de-
stroy their pieces, saying they prefer
red to use their last bit of strength
in trying to save them; and some OF
them have succeeded and actually
have brought their guns across.
Many Soldiers Barerooted
After al these suiferings from
cold, hunger and fatigue, many sol.

Altogether there have arrived b.
