Plans for Opening of ,
Irrigated Land in the
Goshen Hole Country
The reclamation office at Mitchell
has received from Washington official
confirmation of plate and methods to
be followed for the opening of Goshen
county irrigated land on September 9,
according to the Scottsbluff Star-Herald.
Registration will begin on Sep
tember 5 and will continue for four
lays, or until the night before the
opening. Ot this time 217 units will
he opened for settlement. Arrange
ments have been made to secure the
Torrington court house for the regis
tration and opening and reservations
have been secured at the Trail hotel
for some twenty reclamation officials
and employees, who will look after the
government's interests during the reg
istration and opening. Plats and liter
ature describing land to be opened will
3e ready for distribution by the rec
lamation service in a few days.
As in the opening oi last year, ex
service men will be given preference
right, which means in this particular
case that ex-service men will secure
all the units. In last year's drawing
there was an average registration of
forty men for each unit opened, and
-with the greater publicity which this
opening is securing, it is possible that
-the average at the coming opening
may be still greater.
In making the final surveys, de
scribing the boundaries of the units it
has been the endeavor of the govern
ment to include approximately eighty
.acres of irrigable land in each unit, but
the acreage in the different units will
vary according to the location and con
tour of the land. In some cases mora
than eighty acres of irrigable land will
be included and in others less. Quite
often, also small portions of land lying
above the canal, too high for irriga
tion, will be included in the unit, along
-with the eighty acres, more or less, of
irrigable land.
It is understood that the same meth
ods of conducting the opening as last
year will be followed. At that time the
contestant selected the unit he desired
to try for, deposited $5.10 per acre
-with the reclamation officials who as
signed him a number, placed his name
and number of the unit he desired up
n a card, which was placed in a small
envelope and sealed. . These envelopes
were drawn out of a churn and the
units awarded to the first person whose
card was drawn out calling for that
particular unit.
This opening will clean up practic
ally all the reclamation land in Wyo
ming under the Fort Laramie canal,
except a small portion in the southeast
corner of Goshen county. Between
twelve and fourteen thousand acres of
irrigable land will be opened.
Plans for feeding and sleeping the
men who come for the opening are al
ready under way. A house to house
canvas of the town will be made to
secure rooms. The American Legion,
in information which it is circulating,
Is advising that ex-service men bring
blankets with them, to provide against
the very probable shortage of beds.
Among those who expect to conduct an
rating establishment at the time ant
the Torrington firemen, who have
bought a large tent and will fit it up
for the purpose. The local legion post
is making arrangements to erect an
arena in the vacant lots north of the
Eaton block, where athletic contests
will be pulled off.

PERSONALS
Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Bliss returned

Sheriff R. M. Bruce of Sheridan
county was in the city last Friday.

"Resign from the Legion, Boys."
This is the advice certain German
newspapers are giving to their read
ers, according to information that has
come to hand at National Headquar
ters of the soldier organization.
An article reprinted from one of the
128 German papers by the Veriens
Bote recited alleged "Rhine Horrors"
by French colored troops a." being
sanctioned by the Legion. "TV 1 1 egion
is making war on wretched women and
children of your own race," declares
the propagandist. "Resign from the
legion now and show Galbraith and
his Canadians that you are not dum
mies!" Legion officials regard the reference
to Legionnaires as "Canadians" as
another imputation from the same
crowd, who charged that money for
the Americanization rally staged at
Medison Square to counteract the Von
Mach meeting was English Money.
State officials will soon turn over to
some soldier's organization the sum of
S50.000 to be used for helping ex-service
men of the world war who are in
dire need and are not being taken care
of by the Federal government.
The last legislature provided a trust
fund of $2,000,000, the interest of
which would not be available this
year. $50,000 was appropriated for
immediate use. It is quite likely the
American Legion will be selected to
administer this fund, and that local
posts throughout the state will be
asked to investigate and recommend
action on all applicants for aid.

Pills a most excellent remedy and r
always glad to speak a gool word lor

and pains in my side when doing my
housework that made me feel miser
able. Some times when I stooped I
had attacks of dizzy spells and specks
came before my eyes amost blindinr
me. When I get one of these attack
I get a box of Doan's Kidney I'ills aft
Brennan's Drug Store and they cur
me and leave me feeling fine."
