TIE ARID LANDS.
The Effect of the Conference Agree
ment on the Suhdry Civil Bill.

The effect Of the legislation in regard to the
arid lands as agreed upon by the conference
committees Of the two houses was discussed
with a great deal of interest today by the Gen.
eral Land Office officials The arid land law Of
1883, which has been repealed by this new
legislation, has been a great check to the
business of the General Land Ofic sand final ac-
ton on entries in practically all the region
west of the one hundredth meridian has been
suspended. All these cases would now pass to
patent One of the officials remarked today
that the provision limiting to $40 acres the
amount of land that can be patented to one
individual practically abolished the desert
land act and one or two other of the
land laws. Under the desert land act Il man
could make all entry OF GAO acres; he could also
make presumption, homestead and timber
culture entry. The last three laws limited each
entry to $50 acres. Ii is considered that the
proposed law, while not perfect is much pre-
ferable to the law of 1885 and that the pro-
vision exempting from settlement reservoir
sites and providing for the right of way through
private land for irrgatIng canals is ample
to carry out the proposed scheme OF irrigation
of the desert lands. This Is the view held by
