Oregon to aid settlement of arid eastern lands
Oregon plans to aid settlement of arid districts in eastern Oregon by giving land to homesteaders. The state land board, led by H. Lewis, filed on 44,505.55 acres in Baker County, with irrigation ditches to be funded at minimal cost, encouraging settlers under Carey Act like Idaho projects. The move expands filings from about 21,000 acres in the same county, as land once withdrawn by the Interior Department was turned over to Oregon for development under the Northwest entry act of June 17, 1902.
