STATE CHAMBER PLANS OPENING BONUS LAND THE LATEST SAMSON 1-Ton TRUCK IS HERE! Come in and see it. $635.80 F. O. B. Hood River IOL - HEIGHTS GARAGE "Land for every Oregon ex-service man who wants it" ia the keynote of a land settlement program which will be put into operation as soon as the loans under the Oregon bonus law are avail able for the ex-soldiers according to an announcement by the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce last week. The State Chamber plan contem plates the subdivision of several large tracts of land which are now being op erated as a unit, and the placing of ex-soldiers on these tracts armed with sufficient capital to enable them to make good, according to the announce ment. As the first payment on the land will be subtracted from the loan itself, the ex-soldier who is without funds or property at present will be able to take advantage of the loan in the purchase of land, according to the plan. briefly, the plan as outlined in the State Chamber "News Letter," is as follows : "A tract of land consisting of 1.600 acres, for instance, may be selected at $50 per acre to be occupied by 20 sol diers, giving each soldier 80 acres for $4,000. Title is given to the solider, and, from the bonus money of $3,000. 20 per cent will be paid the owner of th; land, balance of payments on an amortization plan identical with the plan employed by the state under the bonus law. "After 20 per cent is paid on the land fom the $3. (XXI bonus, there will be left $2,200. Of this amount, $1,500 is to be used in the construction of build ings and the purchase of the necessary stock and implements. This leaves a balance of $700 to carry the ex-service man until he gets his first returns from his crops. The first land to be secured for sol dier settlement under the above plan is a tract or i,mu acres in me nquaw Creek Irrigation District in central Oregon, according to Secretary (juayle of the State Chamber. Half of this land is irrigated, and will be sold to the ex-soldiers at from $30 to $60 per acre. "The Squaw Creek land is only the beginningi" said Secretary (juayle. "VVe plan to have land ready for the ex-soldiers in both eastern and western Oregon by the time the bonus is avail able. An effort will be made to place the soldier in the section to which he is suited. "The idea of this plan is to take care of soldiers who wish to get on the land, but who have no funds with which to make a first payment. Under this plan both the owner and the sol dier are protected. There are large areas of land in the state awaiting set tlement, and there are many soldiers entitled to the bonus who are anxious to get on the soil. We believe that it is logical and commendable to settle our idle lands with Oregon men." American Leginn officials have en dorsed strongly the proposed plan.
