HOW IT OCCURRED.

It is said that in the passage of this act of October 2, 1888, entitled An act mak- ing appropriations for sundry civil ex- penses of the Government for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1889, and for other purposes" which act reserves from entry. settlement or occupation certain public lands. the conference committee did not intend to prevent or prohibit the entry and reclamation of lands adjacent to con structed irrigating canals or those in pro- cess of construction, but that they did overlook the fact that the broad wording of the act would have wide-reaching and disastrous effect not intended or desired by its projectors.

ARID LANDS.
THE INJUSTICE OF THE LAW WITH
 DRAWING THEM FROM ENTRY.
It is time Settlers upon Government Lands, and the entire West, were made acquainted with certain
 Facts.
From a Circular.

Upon every entry, without exception of Government land in the arid regions, made since October 2, 1888, patents have been ordered by the general land office to be withheld.
 The Secretary of Interior and Attorney General have been asked to construe the act of October 2, 1888, withdrawing lands from entry, and to define the arid regions
 Should they decide that ail lands in the arid regions were segregated by this act, and all lands requiring irrigation for their reclamation to be arid lands Then,
 Not an acre of such land in the great West entered since October 2, 1888, can be patented and such entries, without un- seen relief, will be cancelled.
 Tens of thousands of acres on existing irrigating canals, actually being culti- vated and reclaimed by water from such canals, can not now be patented because entered since October 2, IS6S.
 Thousands of bona fide settlers in Cali fornia, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colo rado, Washington, Nevada, and through out the entire surrounding region have been allowed to enter Government lands, are complying with the law as they sup pose 1t to be, and as it has existed, are getting water by constructing irrigatingc ca nals, are honest, hard-Working settlers, but who would to-day be denied q patent for that same land, and are unconscious of the fact.
 Congress has passed a lay is own officers do not understand, and since Oc- tober2, 1888, have been allowing hun dreds and thousands of honest settlers and entrymen to be unwittingly led into the entry of Government land upon which time and money is being expended, and where to-day nothing stands between these settlers and ruin but a favorable constrution of this law by the Secretary of the Interior
 Millions of dollars are being expended by private capital in construction of ca nals to reclaim arid lands, and this act of October 2, 1888, would forbid their re clamation, or that an acre of this Govern ment land be touched since that date, and that these canals be rendered useless.
 It cannot be said that settlers should have know the possible construction of that law, for not. local land office, the pre- sumable representatives of the Govern ment, but is allowing entries of land to- day upon constructed irrigating canals, where reservoir sites, ditches or canals havesnot been surveyed and set apart by the Geological Survey. Thus. since October ?, 1888, have entrymen been led to believe the Government fully understood the effect of that act and that their entries were allowed accordingly.
