a bell and upon meeting a passing pe-
deatrlan the rider must sound his bell
and dismount. Wheels must also be
provided with a lamp,' which must be
kept burning during darkness. When

La Grande had a line-up last night
that disbanded Just as soon , as the
United States land office doors opened
this morning. Nine made application
for Hermlston desert land that is to be
irrigated by the government irrigation
project next spring,' and the claims run
from 19 to 40 acres, the size of the
tract having been previously prescribed
by the department according to the
value of the land before application of
water. The line-up contained 12 mem
bers,' and It was formed last evening
after the arrival of the eastbound pas
senger train, brlnglng"appllcants from
Pendleton and Hermlston only. The
land sought lies near Hermlston. For
clear title to this land, the applicant
pays the waieruei icm u. ,
acre, and $1.60 a year for malnte
nance costs. Of little value now, but
worth much money when water
once applied, the land Is largely
sought.
