Several Officers and Enlisted Men
Anxious to Take up Homestead
In Sheckler District

Last Monday there was brought to
the notice of the Standard tangible
evidence that its campaign of the
past several months for making suit
able preparations for the returned
soldiers was the vital issue confront
ing the Reclamation Service.
sergt. L. A. Styles of the sheck-
Ter District who has been connected
with the Medical Branch of the Ser
vice in charge of one of the wards
at the Letterman Hospital, and who
has just been mustered out, inform
ed the editor of the Standard that
three officers and two enlisted men
were particularly anxious to take up
homestead at once, they having
sufficient funds to adequately devel-
op the land
Encouraged by the success of Mr..
Styles in the Sheckler district and
with natural desire to be neighbors
to their comrade their wish is that
sufficient pressure be brought to bear
to secure the consent of the Depart
ment of the Interior to throw open
for entry the immense acreage in the
Sheekler district now lying Alnpro-
ductive
As the Standard has repeatedly
declared much has been stated in
government bulletins and in fire.
quent public utterances of Secretary
Franklin X. Lane regarding the
need of preparation on the part of
the various states for the returning
soldiers and now that demoblization
Is pouring into the cities of our land
thousands of these young men, many
OF whom prefer to return to the
farm. the problem is one that de-
mands prompt and intelligent action
on the part of public officials and
our separate communities.
1t is not a pleasing reflection or
creditable to our business foresight
that with all the avenues of infor-
nation bearing upon this situation
opened to us for months past that
now with the prospective settler
knocking at our door we cannot bid
him welcome.
Mr.. Styles emphasized the fact
that these men were not debating
the question of settling but were
anxious to come to this valley i'm
mediately and begin the preparation
of the lands for seeding.
The matter was brought before a
number of our business men and as
Its Importance to the community
needed no argument 1t was deter
mined to request Project Manager
j. f. Richardson to wire the secre-
tary in Washington for authorize
tion to publicly announce that these
Withdrawn lands be thrown open for
entry.
incidentally the above should
arouse this community to the neces-
slty of an organization capable of
taking advantage of the tremendous
opportunities now open for locating
desirable settlers on this project.

tailed TO hold water.
One version of the story was that
Republican Senators were going to

prepared to tell the president that
hey would never submit to the rati-

American Navy for a transatlantic
flight, il was definitely learned to-
hight, contemplate the use of a heav-
er-than-air machine of the large tly-
ing boat type, capable of a designed
radius Of l,20O miles in straightaway

ization for the navy's experiment OF
the large naval airplane NC-1, which
has been stationed at Rockaway

recently made a successful flight from
Rockaway to Boiling Field Washing
lon then to Hampton Roads, and
back to Rockaway.'
The NC-1 is the largest American
naval seaplane. II is equipped with

capacity of about 10000 pounds, is de-
igned to carry iifty-one people, and
credited with'a speed OF from SO TO
100 miles an hour It's radius. limited
~ fuel capacity, is about 1900 miles.
This would not take it across the
Atlantic in single leap. But the
NC-1 can land on the water, even
when the water is rough and the
resent plan is to have II make a long
light out over the Atlantic, alight
vhen fuel exhaustion compels and
eplenish its fuel supply from a naval
esyel, which will be on hand, and in
