What Eastern Oregon Projects Want Is Business Administration Working- for General Good. The following letter comes to The Oregonlan from Hermlston, with the request that It ba published without the writer's name. It may be regarded aa presenting a Hermtston view of the subject treated: "Hermlston. Or, Oct. 7. F. H. Newell, chief director of tba Reclama tion Service, In bla interview aa pub lished, gives but one side of the situa tion on tbe Government projects, name ly: That tha apeculator is the great octopua that baa fastened Itself upon those projects, retarding their growth and development. "The ownera of land on tba Umatilla project are not speculators, but men who tiled on this land prior to the time the Government had made any attempt at reclamation and bad spent over 111, 000 in construction of canals and sur veys before deciding, upon certain rep resentationa of the Government being mada them, to take water from tbe Reclamation Service, Those men who were here before the Reclamation Serv ice thought of putting in a project are ready to sell their land at a reasonable price In nearly every Instance. There may be aoma isolated cases of an ex orbitant price being asked. -When the director talks of alfalfa land being worth only 3100 per acre. It Is abaurd. Land la worth what It will produce a revenue on. and alfalfa over one year old baa paid 10 per cent on a valuation of S3S0 an acre thla year. Other crops on small areas where prop erly fertilised bava done much better. Conditions here are no better than in any new locality. Several ye ere must ba passed In getting the soil to pro duce paying crop. "If such a revenue can ba derived from thla land, the question naturally will arise, "Why la It not In cultiva tion T Tha first reaaan Is that only email tracts of 30 and 40 acree can be handled to advantage, and thla necessi tates the cutting up of those holdings of 1(0 acres. If those holding desert claims are willing to aell at a reason able price lsnd that will produce a revenue on 1354 an acre, why la It not aoldT Thla brlnga ua to the otber side of the question. "Prior to the entrance of the Govern ment on tb project, there had, been 'soma 1400 acres homeateaded and 13.000 seres filed oa aa desert claims. Those desert claims generally consisted of 320 acres each, and when tha entryman holding this amount of desert land de cided to take water from the Govern ment he relinquished one-half of bis holding, aa the reclamation act only permits holding not to exceed 160 acres to receive water from the Government. This reduced the holdings to about 4000 acres of deaert land. "When accepting water from the Government instead of through their own system, that had been partly con structed, those desert entrymen were assured that they could prove up and get-patent the same as under a private system. The homesteaders were prom ised the same thing that they would be allowed to prove up under the homestead law. -This arrangement was entered into In January. 190. and on June 37. 1904, we find an act of Congress making It Impossible to give deaert land entry men patent until tbe whole of the water right payments are made, hold ing up tha patents for ten years on tha (0U0 acree of desert land. The patents were granted to homesteaders aa prom ised. , . "By comparing what has been dona with the land contained in these home steads that patent was granted for as promised and what haa been done with the desert claims that patent has been withheld on. contrary to promises, wa may be able to find that mora than the speculator has retarded tha de velopment of the project We will take the homestead of F. A. Yates, consist ing of 160 acres one-balf mile from the depot at Hermlston, and also one-half miia from tha business center. This claim was proved up on the patent Issued in 1908 and today there are ten residences on the tract with families In each. There are 70 acres of orchard: 50 acrea in alfalfa and the balance In sraDea. vegetables, etc., with but two acrea of tha entire 160 that is not HeveloDed arJ farmed. "Grace Furnace owned 160 acres of desert land 100 Tarda from the depot and 100 yards from tha business part of Hermlston. A 123.000 school ouiia lng was also erected on three acres of It. Final proor was maae in isub, luumu satisfactory, but patent withheld with the result that there is not a residence of anv kind on it. There Is not $100 worth of improvements on It and at Mr. Newell's valuation of an acre it Is worth not over $900, Improvements end all, while the Tates land win readi ly sell for from $50,000 to $60,000. "Mr. Newell Is challenged to ahow any reason why Grace Furnace's desert claim should not have been as well de veloped. In part at least, as that of F. A. Tates, but for the mistaken policy of withholding the patents. "In the face of facts that could be multiplied In other similar instances sny reasonable man la asked whose fault It Is that those 6000 acres of desert land In the Umatilla project He undeveloped. -Another feature that Mr. Newell for got to mention that is retarding the development of this project is that settlers are not treated as they were promised. In the early days of thts project the land holders were repent ly assured by the project engineer that water for Irrigation would be broucht 'to the highest practical point of each holding consisting of not less thsn 40 acres.' That is, that the water would be brought to each 40 acres un less the holding contained more than that, when It would be brought to that holding. Notwithstanding that affi davits have been forwarded to Washi ngton officials acquainting them with tha promises made, yet there are men today who are told xou must. pi in nine line costing over izouo to get water to pour 40 acres or do without It." and this cost of $50 an acre for a pipeline la In excess-of the payment of $60 an acre entered into by tne seiner for water. "Is It any wonder that good home steads have been lying hero for two years without takers, with such a policy of faithlessness being pursued? Men are waiting and anxious to re claim their land, but cannot afford to maka such an outlay as asked by the Government to get the water do their land. Would any sensible man expect to find anything on this project under such conditions but sagebrush? Is It any wonder that there are vast stretches of vacant and desert land on all Government projects? "Mr. Newell. In dealing with the west extension of the Umatilla project, ssys it will not be built until the peo ple owning the land required for the reservoir site are willing to sell at a certain price, namely, $100 per acre for alfalfa land and $5 per acre for desert land. Does the gentleman know that there are men living on some of this land that they require for their reservoir who have been there 40 years and have made themselves comfortable homes In one of the best climates on God's green earth? Does he know that there Is alfalfa land rented, 160 acres In a block, at $18.60 per acre? Those men do not want to sell. They are not asking the Government to buy, as they believe they have one of the best things on earth, not excepting ex ploiting by the Government. Now, if a price cannot be agreed upon, which haa never been tried as yet, then con demn and let the price be fixed. This talk that if someone does not give their land for half what it is worth, then the Government won't do thin or that is more becoming to the tactics of a school boy than a man at the head of the expenditure of millions. fWhat the Government projects want is a good business administration; some one who is not afraid that a speculator will make a dollar, but a man who Is big and broad enough to grasp the salient points that will make for the general good and strong enough to recommend them."

OPEN AND BLEED Blisters Formed, Skin Scaled Off, and Flesh Burned and Itched Dreadfully. Healed by Less Than One Cake of Cuticura Soap and One Box of Cuticura Ointment. "About two months ago my hands started to crack open and bleed, the skin would scale off, and the good flesh would burn and itch dreadfully. W hen my hands first started to get sore, there were small blisters like water blisters which formed. They Itched dreadfully, it just seemed ss though I could tear the skin all off. I would scratch tbem and the skin would peel off, and the flesh would be all red and crack open and bleed. It worried me eery much, as I had never had anything the matter with my skin. I was so afraid I would have to give up my employment. "I consulted my doctor, and he said ha didn't think It would amount to anything. But It kept getting worse. One day I saw a piece in one of the papers about a lady who had tbe same trouble with her hands. She had used Cuticura Soap and Ointment and was cured. I decided to try them, and my hands were all healed before I had nsed one cake of Cuticura 8osp and one box of Cuticura Ointment. I am truly thankful for the good results frcm the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, for thanks to them I waa cured, and did not have to lose a day from work. 1 have had no return of the skin trouble."
