It would bring relief to up ward o f 1000 settlers who died on the land under the terms o f the Car ey art, but have been unable to get water, and open the way for the ! coming o f many others. Under Ha provisions the state would advance at once the money needed and the state water board, created In 190#. would finish the rec lamation of both the landa Included In Oregon desert selection Hat No. 13 and private landa In the Colom bia Southern project. The money la Intended eventually to be paid back dollar for dollar by the settlers with an additional |5 for each acre In the project to go Into the state rerlama- ' tlon fund. State W ill Have Men To Insure this repayment It Is set forth In the bill that a valid lien In favor o f the state shall exist against each settler's tract until the last cent haa been paid.
