The first unit of the lands of the West Ex tension will be opened for settlement June 14. A copy of the public notice has been received by the project en gineer at Hermiston naming the date and prescribing the methods of filing and payments of the water rights. These lands He chiefly within a ra dius of one to tour miles of the new town of Boardman. The opening was expected to take place last January but because of technicalities in the title of some of the lands in private ownership included within the unit, it has been delayed. This has also delayed the progress of the new town which is expected to go ahead much more rapidly. Twenty-eight homestead tracts will be subject to entry varying in size from 25 to 40 acres of land under ir rigation. Some of these tracts con tain as high as SO acres and the non- irrigable portions can later be pro vided with water. This land lies in The Dalles land office district where filings will he received from June 9th to 14 at 9 a. m. These filings may be made before U. S. Commissioner C. 6. Blayden at Boardman and sent to The Dalles. All filings made between June 9 and 14 will be considered prior to those made at or after 9 a. m. June 9 and will be considered simultaneous. If there are more than two applicants for one tract a draw ing will be held at the land office and the unsuccessful candidate will be given an opportunity to amend his application for another tract. Those visiting the land can obtain full in formation from Mr. Blayden as to how to proceed. Information can also be obtained at Boardman as to the location of the various tracts. Application for water -rights must accompany the filing. The govern ment will require a 5CC cash payment from successful applicants on the wa ter right and this is the only pay ment that is required for five years About 2700 acres in all will be opened for irrigation this year and the r atar is now in the canal and turnouts are in place every quarter of a mile. One hundred men and as many horses are in camp near Board man constructing laterals for the land opened this year and the re mainder of the 1100 acres that are to be opened for next year's irriga tion.
