Action of Government-Home Seekers Clamorlog for Land. state, in turn, is to dispose of the land to actual settlers at the rate of not more than 160 acres to each person. The surplus of money re ceived by any state from the sale of this land is to be expended in the irrigation of other tracts. Ore gon and Idaho have taken advan tage of the above act to a consider able extent. In Oregon the largest selections have been made in the southern part of Crook county and the north ern part of Lake, two counties well adapted to the irrigation projects as many of the arid districts are level and slope gently from the heed of the riyers where water is taken. Oregon appointed state agents to do the selecting, who in turn did the irrigating through large corporations. During the last week the Deschutes Irrigation & Power Company has filed an additional list of over 70,000 acres in the United States land office at The Dalles. This last selection covers several townships in the southesn part of Crook county and adjoins the lands formerly selected by the same and other companies. This last tract will probably be irrigated from the same cannals as the former selection.—Prineville Review. ADAPTED TO SUGAR BEETS FOQND MINERAL PROSPECTS EXCEELENT.
