u. y. To Take Over King Hill Project
August 18th.

The state land board at its meeting
last week fixed the second Tuesday
in August as the date for the hearing
with the reclamation service and the
King Hill irrigation district in rela-
tion to Il contract between the govern
ment, state and district, says the
Capital News. The purpose of the
conference is to make final ar
rangements for the transfer of this
project to the reclamation service
The Glens Ferry Gazette states
that tentative contract has been
prepared as between the sttlers and
the government which has been con-
sidered. and which will undoubtedly
be adopted. with possibly "a few minor
changes.
The tentative contract, which is
expected to be changed but little pro-
vides that the federal government
will expend 100000 in rebuilding
the King Hill project, "a qualifying
provision being. however, that the
money be first appropriated by con-
gress The bill which has passed
congress promises the expenditure OF
but 5000, 900. but it is the opinion of
the engineers that the additional
$500, 900 should be spent and that 1t
will be available.
The terms OF payments are that the
cost. whatever 1t shall be, shall be
paid in five equal annual install
ments, without interest, the first
installment to be paid December 1st
1921. There is an entailed provision
that is very important. II. in 1921 a
settler has twenty per cent of his land
under cultivation. he will be required
to pay but two per cent of his water
right cost the first year; If in 1922
he has 40 per cent under cultivation
he will pay but two per cent the sec
ond year. and II In 1928 he has so
per cent under cmultivation he will
pay but two per cent the third year.
The rmainder of his payments will
be one OF two per cent. two OF four
per cent, and fourteen of six per cent,
making twenty annual payments In
all
The terms are that payments are to
be by the district to the United States
the burden of collection falling upon
the district and not upon the govern
ment, and the responsibility for pay
ments to the government falling upon
the district rather than upon the in
dividual sttler. The district is, of
course. possessed with legal powers
to force collection assessments and
payments-one mentioned in the con-
tract being that water must be shut
of from patrons whose payments are
more than year in arrears The ap-
portionmeht OF costs on the lands is
to be made in proportion to benefits
and are to be made by the directors
of the district.

Chicago, April 11.-Wheat-Rains in
parts of Kansas weakened the deferred
deliveries in wheat, altho the nearby
months was strong because Of a better
export crop and milling demand at i'm
proved premiums. There was also buy
ing for future delivery OF the May by
brokers who usually act for the British
commission. The government weekly
weather and crop report was regarded
as bullish. Commission houses have
reduced speculative activity to a great
extent on account of the buIlish feature
of the news and are doing all in their
power to prevent undue advances in
values.
Corn-The market ranged lower I'M
der realizing sales. The cash market
continues to show great strength be-
cause current receipts are insufficient
for the local demand and even the low
err grades were sold at premiums over
Nay. Only improved railroad condi-
lions can alter the strength In the cash
situation. Country holders are willing
sellers whenever they can secure cars.
Oats-There was export business on
today in oats but it was not in sufficient
volume to affect the pressure from re-
aliZing sales and pressure from loca.

for much the same reason as IN corn.
