J II II II a' After Indian land The local United States land office Is in receipt daily of Inquiries from all parts of the country, but partic ularly from Seattle and other Sound cities regarding the opening of the Yakima reservation, says the Yaki ma Republic. . Some of these Inquir ies are of a most elaborate descrip tion. One correspondent, supposedly n clerk In a well known wholesale business house of Seattle, sent along a string of questions, many of which could not be answered definitely even by the secretary of the Interior him self, at this time. It is satisfactory to note that so much Interest Is taken in the open ing of the reservation for It Insures quite an Inrush of settlers when the opening takes place. According to the official reports of the department, the reservation Is to be opened this year, but there Is reason to doubt whether all of the preliminary work will be completed In time.

The state land board at a meeting held this afternoon set June 1 as the date upon which 80,000 acres of the Salmon river project will be opened for settlement, says the Boise Capital News. The construction of the dam In the Salmon river for Irrigating the land will be commenced In a short tme. A large amount of cement will be used In the construction of this dam, the Twin Falls company letting a contract for 60,000 barrels of cement, the largest contract ever let by a cor poration In the United States. In regard to the opening of 80,000 acres to be held June 1, Mr. Hays, at torney for the company, stated that the water rights will sell for $40, the first payment of 3 being due at the time of filing and the first of the de ferred payments being due In 1911.

'Phone Main 18. rr gated Lands for mh I have the best proposition on irrigated lands that is now open to the investing pub lic. .It has passed the experimental and speculative stage and is recognized by all as a safe and profitable investment. This land is on tiie Deschutes river in Crook county, and the government reports of, the United States Irrigation Commission class the Deschutes river as the "BEST RIVER FOR IRRIGATION IX TIIE WORLD." Those are the exact words used in the report. This river is higher, by about 12 inches, during the months from May till August, than at any other time of the year. It never has a freshet or flood in the spring as other rivers do, but a gradual rise of about 12 inches during the summer months. The Deschutes Irrigation and Power Co. have now S6,000 acres under their ditches, over 46,000 acres being already disposed of, and nearly half of that amount will be cul tivated and improved this year. Xo land anywhere can beat this for grains, grasses, vegetables and root crops, and few can equal it for winter apples. I talked with one man who sold last year $2400.00 worth of vegetables from 16 acres of ground, and another man only a short distance from him sold $1600.00 worth of vegetables from 8 acres of ground. These men are good farmers and have had exper ience, and have proved what the land will do if properly handled. Such land, improved and cultivated, is worth $200.00 per acre to any man who will use it, and make the most out of it, yet you can buy that same land before May 1st for $,)3.00 per acre. After May 1st the price is $40.00. These prices include a perpetual water right. You pay one-fourth, (or$S.25) per acre down and the same amount each year until all is paid. After the first year you must also pay SO cents per acre main tenance fee, for keeping up the ditches and canals. Any man who will go onto this land and work it can pay out on it, from the second year's crop and have money left, and his land will be worth four times what he gave for it. If it is not cultivated it will double its value in two years, and if the railroad reaches the country within two years, as is now expected and predicted by all, a man who owns land near Bend or Redmond may put his own price on his land, and it will sell. The climate is delightful, being near the mountains, and timber reaches down to the city of Bend, making a source of great wealth and industry, that will help to make Bend a large city within the next five years. The Deschutes river has a fall of nearly 700 feet in 12 miles above Bend, furnishing ulxmt 250,000 horse-power, to be used in manufacturing industries, electric railroads and all kinds of development of the country. These resources surrounding this land make it the best proposition now open to the small or large investor, and by buying within the next few days, you save $7.00 per acre. The land is cheap at $40.00 and no other irrigated land is offered at such a price. If the railroad were already there, this land would be placed on the market at $100 per acre or higher. Can you find a safer or more attractive investment ? Select a piece of this land from my plah', and if you are not satisfied with it, you may change the location any time within 90 days. You have all to gain and nothing to R. E. TARBET A cent for Deschutes Irrigated Lands.
