SOON OPEN 10 ENTRY
First Vnlt of Xew Project Will Be
Oien to Entry on June 14 Land
I'nder Water Beautifully
Situated.
Boardman, Ore., May 24. 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. '
The homesteads are all fine level
land and It is expected they will bo
taken at once.
