Reserving Irrigable Lands.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Sanders
bill reserving rights to settlers acquired by
them to public lands before the passage Of
the act of 1883, reServing irrigable lands
from settlement, is OF great Importance to
thousands of settlers in California and
other Pacific States. In order that its pro-
visions may be clearly understood it is given
below III full: ANY settler, who may have
hled upon, made improvements on, or ac-
qulred any rights under the existing laws in
or to any public lands prior to the selection
or survey OF the same or any part thereof
Tor purposes Of reservoirs, bitches or canals,
shall be entitled to retain aud maintain ali
his rights the same as if no selection, survey
or reservation for reservoirs bitches or
canals had been made, until such time ms
the President may, by proclamation or othel-
wise, determine whether such lands are
necessary or required for the purposes set
forth in the act of October 2, 1888, and no
entry shall be held for cancellation until
such proclamation shall have been made"
1t is probable that this bill will become
law.
