FOR NEW WOOLEN MILL.
Charles A. Shepherd of Pendleton,
Looking Over Field In I'tah.
Charles A. Shepherd, the well
known woolen mill man of this city,
has recently been Investigating the
prospects for a woolen mill in Ogden,
Utah, and while there is nothing def
inite yet Mr. Shepherd is somewhat
encouraged with the oulook for the
industry there.
Ogden is tributary to a great wool
producing district and Is well supplied
with transportation facilities nnd nil
the markets can be reached easily
from that point, and everything Is fa
vorable to locating a plant there, if a
suitable site could be secured reasonably.
Ontario, where he has been holding
meetings for the past few weeks. Mr.
Cleveland held meetings at Ironsides,
Hereford, Unity and Weatfall, all in
the heart of the range country, and
enjoyed his visit to that section of the
state very much. He returned to
spend the holidays at home and will
return later to continue his evangeliS'
tic vnrk there.
Returns From Hie Wilds.
Rev. H. C. Cleveland, pastor of the
Congregational church at Freew iter,
returned this morning from the r.tnge
district in Malheur county, sout i of
Successful Operation.
A very successful delicate operation
was performed by Dr. W. G. Cole and
Dr. R. E. Ringo, of this city, and Dr.
Hall, of La Orande. upon Mrs. John
Hampson, of La Grande, at St. An
thony's hospital yesterday evening.
Mrs. Hampson was brought here sev
eral days ago for treatment and yes
terday it was decided that an operation
was inevitable and the delicate task
was performed. Mrs. Hampson recov
ered from the operation and Is resting
well today.
A Totnl of Perhaps Three Thouuifl
Acres Will Ho Subject to Entry nnd
Settlement Later On Seventeen
Thousand Acres Will Re Placed on
the Limitation Clause, by Which
Present Owners Cnn Retain Rut lflO
Acres Under (iovernnient Water.
Of the 20.0110 acres of arid land that
Is to be reclaimed under the east
Umatilla project, only about 600 acres
Is now vacant and held by the gov
ernment. This Is withdrawn from
entry, and according to J. T. Whistler,
will not likely be opened for settle
ment until the project Is under way,
or at least absolutely assured. How
ever, aside from the vacant land there
Is about 2000 acres of land now held
as desert claims which the entrymeu
will have to relinquish In order to cut
their holdings down to the limit allow
ed by the law. Consequently, when
the project is far enough along for the
land to be thrown open to entry there
will hu something like 2500 or 3000
acres to be taken up by settlers. The
latter amount would make 75 claims of
40 acres each.
However, since those now owning
land under the project will be allowed
to retain but 160 acres each, something
like 17.000 acres will thereby be plac
ed on the market In 40-acre lots.
While parties who purchase such
tracts from the present owners will
be compelled to pay for the land as
well as for reclamation, they will have
advantages over homesteaders which
will probably offset this.
The following section from the na
tional irrigation law passed nt the last
session of congress, gives the require
ments of the government regarding
residence, etc.:
Sec 6. Tluit the entryman upon
lands to be Irrigated by such works
shall, in addition to compliance with
the homestead laws, reclaim at least
one-half of the total irrigable area of
his entry for agricultural purposes,
and before receiving patents for the
lands covered by- his entry shall pay
to the government the charges appor
tinned against such tract, as provided
In section 4. No right to the use of
water for land In private ownership
shall be sold for u tract exceeding 160
acres to any one land owner, and no
such sale shall be made to any land
owner unless he be an actual bona
fide resident on such land, or occu
pant thereof residing In the neighbor
hood of said land, and no such right
shall permanently attach until all pay
ments therefor are made. The annual
Installments shall be paid to the re
ceiver of the local land office of the
district in which the land Is situated,
and failure to make any two payments
when due shall render the entry sub
ject to cancellation, with the forfeiture
of all rights under this act, as well as
of any moneys already paid thereon.
All moneys received from the obove
sources shall be paid into the rec
lamation fund. Registers and receiv
ers shall be allowed the usual com
missions on all moneys paid for lands
entered under this act.
