To correct certain erroneous im pressions which have become current concerning the opening of the irri gated land in the North Platte valley near Scottsbluff and Bayard, the busi ness men of that community have given out the statements of the facts. From certain advertising that has been done by outside real estate firms the impression has become current that there is to be a public auction of lands in connection with this draw mg. more is iu ue a puduc auction, but this will be held at Alliance ami will include lands near there. The local real estate agents of that com munity have charge of this and it is not to be confused with the opening of the irrigated lands in the North Platte Valley, as seems to have been the case. ► There are 43 “Farm Units” to be opened to entry in the North Platte valley and these are open to filing from March 19th to 24th. If there are more than one to file on the same piece of land there will be held a draw ing for that unit, and those who have filed for that piece will be the only ones to draw for it. Before the filing can be made it will be necessary for the applicant to visit the land and to make the first payment of the water right charges at the Reclamation office at Mitchell charge covers the irrigable and only consists of a payment of $2.75 per acre. There is no doubt that there will ho good lists of lands in the hands of the real estate agents but this public auction is not to be “connected” with the opening of the government land in any way.
